    Black Mesa Source has been in the works for at least three years now and there was a time when I thought this mod for Half-Life 2 had gone dead. Alas this trailer proves otherwise.

      


    I seriously think this looks amazing and even if you care not for Half-Life, one must appreciate all the work that has gone into this mod, especially knowning that everything is done from scratch, even the voice acting, to avoid legal issues.

    Forget mod of the year, I'm hoping this will be my game of the year.

    PS. If this dissapoints I'm going to commit suicide.

    This game looks good but I doubt I'll ever play, looks A-Ok though. Probably go round to yours one day and watch it, does it continue the half life story at all?

    This does look interesting but I'm not much of a PC gamer so I probably won't ever play it.

    Ok this will be awesome, and probably mod of the year, but i highly doubt it will beat a AAA title with millions invested...

    @Madsnake.

    This isn't official, it's not made or endorsed by Valve. It's a 3rd party mod. Read the blog better and you would understand that.

    Valve are hard at work making Half-Life: Episode 3.

    I dont see why they are doing new voice acting, except for the fact that the first Half Life sound files for voices is so crappy by todays standards.  I mean legal issues cant really be a concern considering that mods use Valves stuff all the time.  If they were concerned about the voices being a legal issue, then why make the mod at all?  Map layouts and the story itself are copyright by Valve so they would have legal issues with the whole thing.
    This looks amazing and I hope you can kills the scientists and guards like in the first and dismember them yourself with explosives and good ol' red. (crowbar)  Thats what annoyed me the most about half life 2, it just took away that charm.

    It's been ten years since the original Half-Life.  That's a pretty long period of time I'd say!
    Yeah, this mod is offically the game I'm the most looking forward to now.  There's also Empire: Total War.  By the way, check out the preview they've put on Gamespot.

    So Half life gets a remake, but many classics from the SNES/Genesis era get snubbed.

    @TekZero.

    You really expect people to remake SNES and Megadrive games? You live in a dream world, sir.

    Plus, this is a fan-made mod for the most part. No one at Valve decided to help these guys out or give them the go ahead to do this. The fans just decided to do this after they played Half-Life: Source *which wasn't that much of a leap* But I do remember the awesome Chrono Resurrection Chrono Trigger remake that some fans were making. Until Square decided to stop it in its tracks. And now give us the DS PORT of the game instead. Awesome. /sarcasm

    But I do agree with you, someone/some group has to remake those games. Keep it under wraps until it's done and release it into the wild before the big companies decide to shut it down. That's what the CR team should've done anyway. That thing would've spread like wildfire across the net. *sigh* Very sad.
