[Cartman voice] "But moooom....When is the benchmark coming ouut!"

Holiday(s).... Hmmm...
For some reason, I think that means the Christmas season, unfortunately (since that holliday is more "worldly". Thanksgiving is only in the US - and Holloween isn't really a holliday in the classical sense....
Piss...

Yeah I know what you mean :( I watched the video.. I didnt know he was one large man :DQuote:

But I am rather upset it wont be out until the Holidays, and they dont even tell you wish so I assume its Xmas too...
Sigh.. I wanted a few more months between HL2 and Doom3 :D
you should've seen him like 5-6 years ago...you wouldn't of recognized him...when I first saw him I thought "who the hell is this fat guy"Quote:

i wish i could say this to my teacher about turning in a research paper late. the holidays they are talking about is probably 4th of july. one question, how early do companies usually announce that a game has gone gold before the "real" release date? a month? cause if so i think they would have done so by now. none of this "probably during the holiday season bull$hit"Quote:

I read over at VoodooExtreme, Gabe said Holidays 2003. So I guest that's better than a generic "Holidays" release. Based on the observation that developers almost always take the latest possible time for their vague forcast, I think mid-December is a good guest. I realise a lot of retailers are guesting mid-November. But I get the feeling there is a lot more to fix than Valve originally expected.
Thanksgiving is also in Canada.Quote:

And much earlier too!
Hope they are talking about the canadian date (unlikely :o) so I can play the game over the long weekend.
I can always dream can't I?
Could you provide a direct link to the Alcatraz Video? None of the ones I tried worked for me.
Including this "Official" one (very unprofessional for ATi's Marketing Devision to screw something like this)

Thanks in advance.
Ahh, I did not know that :o .Quote:

Yeah, now that the source code has been leaked, Valve probably has more to "fix" before releasing the game :(. Now I'm *hoping* that the game gets released within the next 6 months.....
I have this funny feeling that December will come and go like Sept. 30th....
:mad:

Is it possible that Doom 3 will be released before HL2, now that this has happened?
Well, for both games sake, I hope their release dates are far enough apart that they don't compete directly with one another - kinda like two big blockbuster movies...Quote:

I wouldn't doubt the possibility that Doom3 ships first.... :(
I'm not knocking Doom3 (I think it'll be really good), but I think HL2 will be more fun overall. I just don't like to crap in my jockeys, and I think Doom 3 will make me do just that...
I may have to play in diapers... :p
-Ryan
This should not effect the SP version, if not why don`t they go ahead and ship it, then I can already be playing it(I don`t play online games). I just bought a new video card and I want to be playing it now ;)Quote:

But they're not going to ship each version at different times...Quote:

I dont understand why people become so suprised when they hear that a games gets delayed. Its a business strategy to do this, they fell to get people more anticipated for the game.
And for the Source Code leak , i believe its another busness strategy/publicity stunt, especially how they put it on the msnbc news, like there is a big percentage in the world that cares about that game or even know what source code is. and why in the world would they have ther computers with the halfife 2 source content in them connected to the internet anyway? they hould have a line of computers for the internet and another line for their software. sound bizarre to me.
If the April 2004 date becomes "official", then I think it would be in Valve's interest to so. I would be quite happy to play the SP missions before Christmas, and download the MP patch in the Spring. I think that would raise Valve's image amoung the fans.Quote:

If it don`t come out until april, don`t that mean, they broke their bundled game contract with ATI.
Not really...they sold the bundle rights, but I don't know of them giving a specific date upon which the bundle would start. I've also heard that now the card comes with a voucher to recieve the game at a later date.
