Black Mesa Source

[hellspawn]

Does anyone know when this coveted Black Mesa Source would be coming out? It’s the supposed ‘remake’ if you will of the original Half Life only with Half Life 2 graphics, sound and engine, and redone levels. I’ve been to a few sites; http://www.blackmesasource.com/, and http://mods.moddb.com/4384/, but they don’t help. Also, does anyone know if it would be free with Steam (like Lost Coast) or a whole new retail game (CD) you have to pay for? And for bonus points, someone get some pictures of that Itchysaurus, I love that thing, yet am scared to death of it!

There's a thread on the steampowered forums in which the authors are replying with news etc., but the website is probably the best source. They are currently alpha testing, so release is still a long way off. This project will be a mod of HL2, so i would assume it will be a free download. Not sure if they are talking to Valve about steam distribution or not.

It's a mod. It won't be free through steam or retail. It's a mod. That's why it's on a mod database. Noone knows when it will be out but they have roughly 30% done.

OMG! NEWS UPDATE!

With the holiday season closing in fast, the Black Mesa: Source team would like to detail a few of the happenings from around the community, team and the game itself.

Several team members will be participating in an online voice interview with #OnAir (Hosted by Gamesurge.net) , discussing topics related to the modification such as changes and the development process. Further details of this interview, including date and time will be posted closer to the interview. It’s set for around the 28th of November; times will be announced when it is confirmed.

Exposure wise, Black Mesa: Source has recently made an appearance in the United States magazine, ‘Computer Gaming World’ and is soon to be featured at 1up.com. Included are a few of the usual screenshots, exclusive Forget about Freeman shots, and more information about the modification. This article can be found in the December edition of CGW, so make sure to pick up a copy!

The team roster has once again been updated, with a few new arrivals making their way to the team - Entity, Campaignjunkie, Hazardous and DynamikStylez - These individuals will be working in the departments of character modelling, level design, skinning and texture art respectively. Make sure to stop by the community forums and give them a welcoming shout.

Our forums will once again be updated with the addition of .plan file viewing being made available via the forum. The system on the website was difficult to update, and as such, has been replaced - And this way, you'll be able to see the updates easily. From time to time, they may possibly include exclusive, community-only media: so make sure to keep an eye on the plan files!

In addition to these updates, we're announcing the winner of the 'DVD Case' Competition in the lab forum. Everyone please stop by and congratulate DKR1138 on his fabulous abilities to create DVD art. DKR1138 will be granted access to exclusive media from the team in the future in order to create a more 'finalized' DVD cover closer to our release date. Once again, make sure to give him congratulations.

Last but of course not least, we have a media release scheduled for the near future, with some more shots that we are hoping will cater to all followers of the modification. Keep an eye on our website, and make sure to stop by our forums for the latest happenings around the team and the community.

Should'nt this be in the modifications forum?

Oh well, regardless I have been looking forward to this mod since day one, mianly because I've never played Half Life, so it will be nice to play it in the same graphical splendour as Half Life 2.

I suppose so, but in any case wrong place or not, this mod will be truly awesome. Take your time BMS guys.
