Project Black Mesa. It's a remake of Half-Life with the HL2 engine. Yes, it's a mod made by the source community.

Watch the trailer, and please tell try to tell me that looks bad. :)

Makes you wonder though... how long until the Halo community remakes Halo 1 using Forge. Oh wait... You see my point? :) In case you don't, my point is: Mods are relavent, and this is simply a prime and recent example of how the mod community gives back, and how it ads value to the product you buy.

One of 2009's hottest titles will be a remake of (when it's released) an eleven year old game? What? Don't get me wrong; I'll definitely get this, especially since it's free, but I won't lose any sleep over it if I don't. I played, like, two hours of the first one, and then stopped playing. Maybe this one will get me back into it.

A remake of an old game is nothing much to be excited about. I mean, if Ocarina of Time was remade I'd certainly want it, but I'd be more interested in new games.

Modding isn't easy....and I hate PC gaming But it does look good (Stuff that overpriced mod called L4D) the Silo Monster looked a bit HL1, but its forgivable, I want to know if the entire game is there its amazing what fans can do when they have plenty of time

You mean one of 1998's hottest titles. And it should be free. It's a reskinned Half life.

Looks awesome. But I've beat Half life several times. No need to do it again. And HL 2 is still better.

I don't think it's going to be free. If you had made that mod, you would expect something in return for it.

I played Half-Life like 10 years ago man.....I've moved on since then. Most remakes I try to play I get bored of in a few minutes. All I'm really looking for in those situations is perhaps a quick shot of nostalgia. With the plethora of games out right now I won't have the time or patience to sit through Half-Life again. So, no, I disagree with your statement.

It's the remake of one the most acclaimed games of our time. Of course I'm going to hype it. In fact, I'd also hype FF7 if that was remade. P.S. I own a 360 and a Wii, and probably a PS3 soon. So I'm not quite sure who you're calling a hermit.

dont you know? TC = hermits as a whole just like CoDJon is cows as a whole and General ramm is lemmings as a whole you know how it is. if some1 posts and says they belong to, or praise a certain game on a certain system, it means that every fan of that system is doign the exact same thing.

So let me get this strait: your hyping a remake unprofessional mod of an 11 year old game on a 5 year old engine? Not to mention you need a source engine game to play this, so it's an expansion and not stand alone. Look at L4D and you have your answer.

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for this, but it's nothing to bash....say Halo 3:ODST.

He's hyping a remake of one of the greatest games of all time. What's wrong with that? Starcraft II and Diablo III look ****ing awesome. I don't have a strong PC, but at least I don't pretend I didn't wish I could play other system's games:wink:

I can play anything the hermits can play, i just find it boring compared to playing over LIVE. You look at my games you'd see the rts's i have, I'll probably even get diablo but its still pathetic to hype a mod, but I guess that's the only thing upcoming apparently.

Wait, what's the difference between this and Half Life: Source. It being free? I guess I don't have any reason to get Half Life: Source, but are there any other differences besides one being 10 dollars, and the other costing nothing?

i dont think you know how in dept mods can be, for example, Project Reality, a battlefield 2 mod, is the most realistic game out to date. there is no debate on it. it completly changes the game and makes it into a ultra realistic team and squad based game. the mod alone makes your $10 purchase worth $60. i would buy that game for $60 if it wasnt a mod. but here it is free, FREE. how are mods no relevant when they make cheap games worth more than your precious halo? the game is cheaper than your online service!!! hyping a mod is perfectly normal, nothing wrong with it.

Like you would know. PC gamers have always hyped mods. You most likely woulden't know because I think you never tried any mods. Theirs nothing wrong with hypeing a mod. Especially if its a remake of one of the greatest FPS ever made. If anything you are being very ignorant right now like you always have been.

Half life source is just Half life with the source engine. It adds better lighting,water, and physics. It also adds some other things but really its just a graphical update to the game.

[QUOTE="Mehdi1984"][QUOTE="heretrix"]

You mean one of 1998's hottest titles. And it should be free. It's a reskinned Half life.

Looks awesome. But I've beat Half life several times. No need to do it again. And HL 2 is still better. 

heretrix

... it's not a "reskinned" Half Life.

Oh excuse me. It's Half Life remade with the source engine. Happy?

Im sorry, I wasnt aware the original Half Life had Co-Op play and character developments in the story that directly tied to HL2. 

BTW, I think this is looking WAY too good for Valve to let it pass up for free. Im starting to think they will buy the devs who made this game and will sell the game on STEAM. And besides, why would these guys spend 4 years working their *** off, for no profit at all? They probably secretly wish someone will pick up and publish this game for them.
