The one thing I don't understand is why ATI have been so understanding given that they reportedly paid a whack load of cash to bundle hl2 with the XT cards. Also people who bought said card have a right to be annoyed at the delay given that they've already paid for the game. Imagine buying a...

The point isn't lack of trust because they've delayed the game its the way they've handled it they have repeatedly issued statements that don't fit with the facts.

Fair enough, still it'd be nice to get a feel for the level of trust in the comunity.

So who wants to join my club?

This is fast becoming the hl2 slogan.

Actually I think i've seen gabe in one of the doom3 screeshots.

Although it's obvious they'll milk the cash cow and do some kind of hl2 expansion, I mean it'll be a game they can put 1/4 of the work into but charge 1/2 the price of hl2.

How the hell does this count as a Rumor or Speculation. If anything it's a dicussion about the definiton of vapourware.

yay?, no really is there more to say....

The point is tho it could suck, pretty videos do not a game make. If hl2 isn't all it's cracked up to be there are plenty of contenders to move on to.

I don't recall them even saying it will be out in april, thats just speculation, so if it doesn't come out in april it won't technically be another delay.

At least valve didn't do a paper launch on sept 30th, yes it's available to my sons dogs grandmothers uncle and to everyone else q2 2004.

IIRC the really low end stuff (dx6) uses a lower resolution light map so the lighting would look different.

It depends on the type of game, for something mainly indoors like for example hl1 i'd use the d3 engine simply for the lighting effects that you can pull off that the other engines don't seem to able to do. For something set primarily out doors where lighting isn't as big an issue as everything...

It amazes me (along with my bad spelling) the amount of people out there who read an article that says source code stolen and them think this means valve no longer have it. It's not like a burgler walking out with your VCR more like someone photocopying your diary.
