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.
and while id's games have always been pretty...they've been lacking in gameplay/storyline.
From the recent previews it would seem that id are making profound attempts at changing that perception. Remember that they did hire a writer, ran it through a storyboard, etc.
I still have my doubts, since there have been plenty of recent games that promised a "good story" but ended up with something about as engaging as watching TV commercials (TRON 2.0) Then there are games like Mafia... 'nuff said.
On the other hand, from screenshots alone I have no doubt that DOOM 3 will be able to capture the dark, brooding atmosphere of the originals. Any one who has played them will remember how that simple graphical aspect drew us into the DOOM universe like moths to a candle, and how it etched into our heads those powerful images of torture and dispair.
"Nothing livens up a robotic hymn of doom more than an amazing pair of jugs." - Brak
