[SLH]

We don't know definate answers to any of those questions, sorry.

I hope i've just not heard a piece of info though!

Apparently Gabe has said that they'll be sold seperately. Which is fine by me cos I understand just how much work will be going in to updating a existing game on to a better/more detailed engine.

Perhaps the Collectors edition will include Hl1 source as well?

When did he say that? (Not that i don't believe you, i'm just interested)

And what to do with my original HL1?
A free update like the HD Pack from Blue Shift would be cool.

Put it in the cubboard...its a 5-6 year old game now. You can't honestly expect them to give away a major engine update just because you own the oldest ofs versions?


*Looking for that Gabe remark now* Might have been Lombardi actually...
EDIT: Yeah it was

Valve's Doug Lombardi elaborated on that process, mentioning that the original Half-Life had been ported to the new engine as part of its testing. As a result, a new version of the 1998 game, running in the Source engine, will be released around the same time as Half-Life 2.


When asked if this new version of Half-Life could be distributed via a free download or as part of an expanded Half-Life 2 "collector's edition," Lombardi suggested that either (or both) could be possible. A special collector's edition was already expected for Half-Life 2, and Lombardi confirmed that one is in the works, but was unable to offer any concrete details on the exact contents.

It still isn't CS2, it's CS: Source.

 

[SLH]

Ok, didn't think we knew for sure. Cheers.

Well I'm betting there isn't going to be a CS2...

And whats wrong with CS:Source? It looks fantastic from what we've seen of aztec and the physics. I can't see CS2 giving any better than what CSS can offer.

If they make a CS2 you know it'll smell of CZ. Single player missions galore...

Since nobody knows, I'm gonna send an email to Valve asking wether the HL-1 mod ports will come free with HL-2 normal or special edition. I read somewhere that the ports would sell at a budget price, but still, I'll ask this to Valve...

 

[Sprafa]

I think the re-made HL, CS & TFC will come in the SE

 

[ShadowBlade]

I was under the impression these would all be avalible at budget prices through Steam only.

 

[Kadayi]

They will probably be cheaper via steam, the retail versions will probably be available to cover the non broadband market/boxed set completists.
