Days after last week's Rumor Control brought news that Half-Life 2 had gone gold and was being sent off to Vivendi Universal for approval and manufacturing, the publisher confirmed that the game has gone gold and announced, finally, its release date: November 16.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Same day.
Someone in work pointed me to something that lets you look through some of the data files loaded by Steam. But since there's such a small wait - why even ruin that tiny bit?

same day sucks... but i can wait. better book a couple of days off work.

not surprising VU didn't mention Steam at all in their press release since it cuts them out of the picture.... being in the middle of a court case with Valve probably doesn't help either.

here whats steam?

Would I be right to assume that HL 2 is gonna require a big fat ass computer to play a la far cry?

and it probably won't be as demanding as Far Cry, but maybe someone that's seen it in action first hand can confirm? or are you all still NDA'd?

It won't need an amazing PC. It was pretty much ready to be released (depending on who you listen to) this time last year, and even then, it didn't need a monster of a PC. I think the minimum advertised specs is a 1.6GHz PC, with 256MB of RAM. Although to play it in "lush" mode, you'll probably need double both of these figures.

The only way I'll be able to play it at home is on the XBox port, which is looking lovely. C'mon XBox port.

ha ha, i put on bog log in the village around a year or so ago... with the lonesome organist and nina nastasia. bob log is cool, he's like everything is "waaaaay cooooool", he looks and sounds like he just stepped off a beach in california or something... lonesome organist stole that show though... what a dude.

Ok, I was following you right up to the last word there...

NDA'd??

That steam yoke looks pretty fresh though.

NDA = non disclosure agreement

some people that post here may or may not work for Havok, the company that wrote the physics engine for Half Life 2. They may or may not have seen it first hand and / or may or may not have played it and may or may not have information that they may or may not disclose publicly, subject to the terms of an NDA.

possibly.

Oh right, I was thinkin it was a more techy type thing you were goin on about...

Ive seen a few scenes on the telly, it looks hella processor-heavy, but i guess the levels wont be as huge and wide-open as far cry, so hopefully itll be grand.
