Half-Life 2 Delayed [Sep 23, 2003, 11:59 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Shacknews has finally
received official word that Half-Life 2 will not be making its planned release
date of September 30, something a quick glance at the calendar can confirm.
Here's the quote from Valve's Doug Lombardi:
The previously announced September 30th release date for Half-Life 2 is being pushed back. We are currently targeting a holiday release, but do not have a specific "in-store" date to share at this time. We will release that information as soon as we have confirmed a new date.
"They've boasted so much and generated so much hype about their new physics engine(which isn't even theirs) and DirectX9 shaders that they've actually made everyone forget about how amazing DOOM3 looked at E3 two years ago. Incredible."
============================================
i don't like hl2 more than doom3 because of the dx9 shaders. i like hl2 more because it looks like it'll have better gameplay. while don't doubt d3 will have a great (if not better than hl2) engine, its gameplay will most likely be more of the same point and click stuff we've seen from the doom/quake series. oh no...zombie monster things...really dark lighting that now flashes and makes cool shadows!! it's just getting old.
the doom3 engine should be the basis for some nice games though.
