Even if it's true and valid, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm waiting for the makers of D3 to follow suite.

The games that do not exist, are delayed.

 

[DanJ]

Well at least TF2 is right around the corner

By all accounts id will have Doom3 released before E3 in May.

Half-Life 2 Forever Edition

LOL, wasn't the original release date September 2003?? 365 days later smacks of vaporware.

So who's to blame...nvidia or the idiots who leaked source code??

 

[UnatcoAgent]

I will not be incredibly surprised if this turns out to be the actual release date for the game. For me I have simply lost near all of my interest in it. I look now to light of Doom 3.

Valve and Gamespy would be just as well off forming a mega-corporation where instead of buying video games, you buy flash animations of honda accords.

I knew it!!!!!!

They tried to sucker me into buying the new ATI card, and they almost had me!

 

[Bassyhead]

In my opinion, it's the content (artwork, maps, story, voices, etc) that isn't completed yet.

im so glad i didnt upgrade to a DX 9 card yet. I was considering it back when HL2 was suppost to come out and i almost got a 9800pro.

 

[ndee]

they're pulling a Duke Nukem Forever huh?

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Just had an email from Gameplay.com telling me that the release date for Half Life 2 has been changed to Sep 24 2004

Thats 248 days until release!!!

I guess they must be completly re-making that game! Shame nVidia got so upset about their performance, that they forced a re-work of the GFX Engine to make nVidia GPU's perform better.

Sounds like a reliable source to me.

 

[GasX]

When is Daikatana 2 coming out?

 

[SALvation]

Who cares? Painkiller will blow away both D3 and HL2: Vaporware edition.

 

[Bootprint]

They're working on the patches, so they can look like they are following up on the errors quickly and don't need work on them after the release of the game.


I have a feeling this game is going to really hurt them, I wonder how much money they'll lose. It can't be cheap to keep these programmers working on it.

 

[Lonyo]

HL was delayed too.

My God people can be stupid sometimes.

Considering it has been delayed for a year, if true, It wouldn't of mattered if you upgraded anyway. Not unless you only save a dollar a day where you work. By the time HL2 actually hits the shelf, I could of upgraded to a 9800 pro or 5900u 3 times over and I' m no rich boy either.

I'm happy I upgraded my Ti4200 to a 9800 when I did. So I wouldn't have to wait 14 months to buy a DX9 card that has great performance on DX8 as well.

 

[UNCjigga]

Well by the time HL2 and D3 drop, DirectX 9.1 cards will already be on the market. I guess I won't upgrade video in the next 6 months. Only upgrade I'm planning now is to an nForce2 board with MCP-S (if they ever make one) and a Barton CPU.

 

[NeoV]

trust me, Doom 3 will be on store shelves before E3 this year, which is in mid-may...remember, people at Quakecon this past year actually got to play some multiplayer D3 - Painkiller, by the way, is so much fun.......I am a beta-tester!

 

[Antisocial Virge]

What about all the people with the "free halflife" coupons from ATI? I imagine ATI is not happy starting that a year before the game comes out.

Neither are the many people who bought a "HL2" card. Grr.

Exactly, I traded mine and now I'm kinda glad I did.
