Half-Life 2 in Summer at Soonest [Feb 03, 2004, 11:25 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Half-Life 2 gets a new release date on CNN Money doesn't actually fulfill
the promise in its own headline of a definitive release date for Half-Life 2,
though they do quote Valve's Doug Lombardi in saying that Valve is currently
"targeting this summer for the completion" of their eagerly anticipated shooter
sequel. The article summarizes the Source-engine source code theft that
contributed to this situation, and goes on to quote Troika's Jason Anderson as
saying that Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is likewise delayed, reporting
that the upcoming vampire-themed RPG that uses the same technology is now
expected no sooner than Spring 2005, after originally being slated for a 2004
release (they also predict the announcement below).
Well I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but HL2 will be riddled with bugs upon release. For one thing they are still patching the original game, and for another part of the development cycle would be to squash bugs - the fact that they are re-writing or altering code means that bugs will be present on release due to the spaghetti programming factor.
