Black Mesa Source - Vaporware?

It's been almost four years since Half-Life 2 was released. It has also been about 4 years too, that Black Mesa Source was announced.

I last stopped following up on the mod way back in 2006. I suspect that this mod (no matter how brilliant it looks) is just merely vaporware. At any rate, it looks like it won't be released before the end of this year. 2010, perhaps? Never, even?

Your thoughts?

Never give up hope, man. I think, given Valve's tendency to buy mods and employ modmakers in the past, that the BMS guys are thinking they've got one shot at it so they're going to get it right. Either that or they all quit. I don't know, I don't follow mod development.

But I'm still not giving up hope that it'll be released.

It's still in active development.

Same seems to go for Goldeneye Source. Two mods that I've really been looking forward since I learned of them but which look to be vaporware by this point. It's really sad too since both were shaping up to be the best HL2 mods out there.gameguy6700

Err. Goldeneye Source was released a long time ago.

Yeah, but that's still just a beta version isn't it? The actual, finished mod has yet to be released last I checked. And the last time I tried playing that beta the mod couldn't even boot up without crashing.

The guy who lead the goldeneye project died and so they stopped working on it for a little bit, but its back from what I understand. They are just trying to get everything to work with the new Orange box SDK
