    Half Life - Black Mesa (video game)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19463712

    After eight years of work, fans are about to release an updated and expanded version of classic video game Half-Life.

    Called Black Mesa, the resurrected game will be made available as a free download on 14 September.

    The update has been put together using programming tools released by Half-Life creator Valve.

    It will have improved graphics, better physics and environmental effects and a tweaked story line.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    I might have a go seen as its free, but bloody hell I think they've milked the crap out of the Source engine by now and its really time they moved on from it. It was stunning 8 years ago but looks very dated now.

    RE "milked the crap", don't forget this is a bunch of people with no affiliation to Source who are simply adding a mod onto the Source 2 engine... Just so happens it's taken a looooong time


    Hoping the reason we've not heard anything about Left 4 Dead 3 is because they're doing it on a new engine

    Left 4 Dead 3? Pfft - what about Half-Life 3, or you know, a little matter of something called Half-Life 2: Episode 3?

    Now that Valve want to be getting into hardware (in another thread you posted), it's just more stuff to do that isn't Ep3/HL3.

    As for "Black Mesa", sounds interesting. Here's their YouTube Channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/blackmesasourcemedia
