So after being in development for seemingly forever, it seems the official release is nearly at hand.

Trailer

And as stated in the trailer, the days this mod stays in development are truly numbered. Hang tight, because at long last, it is coming.

I for one can hardly wait *glee*

Its just that it comes with better graphics this time.....
And now you can go on a Half-Life Marathon, finishing off Half-Life, then continue with Half-Life 2 with all the episodes.... we''ll see how long can you keep up, I'm gonna do that, who is joining me?

Hell yeah, I've played HL1 too many times to count. I'll be pulling an all-nighter when this gets released. I can't wait to take teh boomstick to Nihilanth once again. Followed by some HL2 pwnage.

Is There Half-Life In The Box?

Quote

An amazing 9-minute long film on YouTube has Half-Life fans shouting viral teaser. Is "What's In The Box" teasing something new from Valve, or is it just a damn fine homage?

Half-Life 2 sound effects, references to Black Mesa, and music from the television show Lost lead many Half-Life fans to believe that this first-person "demo film" is something more than a fan-made homage to the game, and the movie's website certainly lends itself to that idea. Whatsinthebox.nl features a pulsing cube with a question mark, along with credits naming Tim Smit as the primary creator of the video. Tim Smit is a young Dutch man who once won appeared on the Discovery Channel program Mythbusters, debunking a myth about phone books. The website's title promises that "Soon the world will find out", while poking about in the CSS files we find the phrases "Every medium, as its ancestors" and "Every pro, has his anti's, now you think about that."

Further poking about reveals an image, found here, which highlights some numbers in red and offers several lines of text, which YouTube commentors have discovered come from a variety of scientific papers.

So what the hell is going on? Honestly we've got no clue. It certainly could be a viral video of some sort, especially with the Game Developers Conference just around the corner, or it could just be a special effects demo for an up and coming effects studio, referencing the Half-Life series out of sheer love.

We've contacted Valve for comment on the video, but for now we'll just have to struggle over the initial question: What's in the box?

I'll buy it if I can get it for the same price I got the original HL (.99 cents on the 10th anniversary)

It's something I'd do for say, Baldur's Gate, but as great as the HL series is, it just doesn't quite amount to that level of epicness for me.

Can get non-crap videos here.

I figured they were just changing the engine, but it looks like they've remade the whole bloody thing. Frick'n awesome.

I really hope this actually comes out this time. I remember about 3 years ago I stumbled across their website and got on their forums which were under the impression that it was coming out soon. 3 years later and I'm still waiting...

Although I really can't blame them, I mean this is a huge undertaking that is easily worth being paid for and their all doing it for nothing. (Although I've heard rumors Valve is thinking of hiring some of them. Which would make sense considering Valve's history with modders and the huge success of counter strike)

If anything... I want an alternate ending to the original... like...

(click to show/hide)

In all seriousness... fix the slipper floor level... I cannot tell you how many times I was like "oh shit!" and feel into the elevator shaft or mis-jumped a mine. Oh well... I did always end up...

Sounds like that part is working exactly as intended.

I would love a remake of the Infinity Engine games (just a face lift, no change in mechanics). Unfortunately, there is no chance of that as Bioware is now EA's bitches.
