  • Black Mesa Pushed Out of 2009

    Despite the hopes and dreams of the Black Mesa Source mod developers, the 2009 release just isn't going to happen. A news update on ModDB informs us that while we won't return to Black Mesa in 2009, a release is not far off.
    We come to you once again with an update. It's now the end of 2009, and we know many of you have literally counted the days down until this fateful month. We are floored by the level of support you have given us and are very excited we're so close to reaching our goal.

    Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release.

    Cynics may now rejoice, bets may be collected, and I think a mod team member has to eat his shoe, but we hope our loyal fans will forgive us and realize that the delay will translate into a better final product that's (hopefully) more easily available to everyone.

    Once again we apologize for what has to be very disappointing news. We placed a 2009 deadline on ourselves to motivate us and bring this 6 year project to a close. And while we didn't quite make it, we have come very close and you can expect a complete, polished game to hit your hard drives in the near future. We'll be sure and update if anything changes. Until then, hang tight, it's coming!

    After a six year wait, surely a few more months of waiting won't kill us, right?

    Re: Black Mesa Pushed Out of 2009

    I've been following their [link="http://www.youtube.com/user/BlackMesaSourceMedia"]YouTube channel[/link] via the [link="http://twitter.com/Blackmesadevs"]Twitter[/link]->RSS feed for a while now and I can't say I'm surprised. Things keep looking more and more polished, but occasionally rather basic stuff is being added at a time period where you'd be polishing and playtesting if it were on track for a 2009 release.

    Disappointing to be sure, but none of us are in any position to criticize this team for a delay despite their best efforts over the past half decade or so. I still can't believe we're going to get this game for free--it's absolutely amazing!
