i would have posted this in off-topic, but every game post i've made here before has been moved to the game forum so i thought i'd save the mods a step.

I don't believe it qualifies as a repost. It has to be posted in the same forum.

And... :frown:

its probably just you, if you do searches for "doom" and "half life" there are many threads that have remained in OT

Half-Life 2 Not Delayed [08:41 pm]
63 Comments - Steve Gibson
A number of gaming sites out there are carrying word of an alleged Half-Life 2 delay according to some folks at Vivendi Universal who are publishing the title retail for Valve Software. However word doesnt seem to have traveled down to Valve according to an email pulled from the Steam forums. (We havent been able to directly confirm or deny with anyone at Valve yet) who might know a thing or two about that. timm of Shacknews comments fame already pointed out this Gabe Newell response:

First time I've heard about this.

So there you go, dont panic just yet as Valve Software decides when they ship, not Vivendi. Valve says there is no delay (that they are aware of, and well.. if anyone is aware of a delay it would be Valve), then there is no delay. Things are still on target for Sept 30th until/unless Valve says otherwise. This is of course assuming the email is legit. The bit about something like this coming down from Vivendi is a bit far fetched too given Valve's situation so what the hell. We'll have word here for you guys as soon as we hear from Valve.


looks like it was just misinformation.

If there is a delay, could it be from the problem with the AA on DX9 cards?

I know the smart development houses ship a game when it's done, but don't they lose significant revenue if they miss the Christmas season? I recall something like going gold by Thanksgiving is the last good day before just letting it slide into next year.

And yes, I know shipping a half-baked game just to hit a deadline is often a fatal mistake as well.
