I really hope it gets a console release. Even if it's free I'm willing to pay, that look freaking awesome. I'd get it on the PC if my computer was powerful enough to play it.vashkey
If Valve decide to hire the team who make it iam sure its possible, but without Valves involvement you won't see it on a console.

They should recognize talent.

Yeah.... The wait it taking the p**s though, but yeh most PC mods=free right?

Mods have to be free Unless they buy a license for the Engine or the Dev picks them up. (They could charge people for access to the Website in order to download the mod that however they can do)
But Valve is known to Pick up Mod Teams in the past, CS; Team fortress; Garry's Mod; And I believe Left 4 Dead started as a mod. (Not 100% sure on that one)

yeah it did, the mod company was called turtle rock.After playing the orange box, i canT careless about half-life, seriously the game is more overated than halo :SSolid_TangoI disagree, maybe you hyped it too much before you played it. Or maybe you just don't like games............like that.
This looks so awesome, this guys are doing an incredible work with this mod, saddly this only will do the wait for Episode 3 even more painfull.
I really need a new processor to compliment last years Computer upgrade to a 8800GT and the extra 2 gigs of ram i got. the 1.81 Ghz is killin me. I have a feeling this will chug a little bit on my comp
I heard that valve is actually helping them with the project. I think they are helping with the voice work but thats all I heard. And the chanses of Valve buying this team and selling this game on Steam are pretty high....
This game looks awesome and i'm very excited for it, especially because i never finished the original... (shame on me)
Although it wouldn't be free, this would be the best thing that could happen since you would get better quality.I heard that valve is actually helping them with the project.

Oh it is? I always assumed Black Mesa was going to be a different game, not a recreation of the original. I guess it does make more sense that it'd be a recreation though.
I'll buy it anyways as Half Life has always been incredibly awesome.
I wouldn't mind if Valve Supported it, I would gladly buy it.
I always wanted to finish Half-Life 1, I have HLS but for some reason It gives me Motion Sickness, I always just get about half way through and I can't play anymore.:( it's the only game that does this.
[QUOTE="Shafftehr"]Half-Life was boring on its release, it'll be boring now with better graphics. Not hyped at all.BumzurNot a fan of awesome shooters? :P I *love*awesome shooters. I'm not a huge fan of interactive stories with mediocre shooter elements. After playing Duke 3D, I got into Half-Life with high expectations to find... Better graphics, a well told but pretty generic sci-fi story, and noticeably inferior shooter elements. Always thought it was hugely overrated, relying on storytelling, gimmicks, and pretty bleh puzzles to compensate for poor shooter elements. Half-Life 2, on the other hand, was spectacular... But I had trouble finishing the original.

So they get other people to do the work and they make money from it?
Good business plan.
Yes, I am pretty excited. I beat Half Life a long while ago, but I will be nice to play it again. :D
