Title: Black Mesa - HL1 Remake
Post by: Leon on September 06, 2012, 09:46:05 AM
After 8 years in the making the 1st 8-10hours of the HL1 remake Black Mesa is being released in 8 days!!  :nana: :nana:

Can't wait to give it a play and see what they have done with it.

Best of all, sticking to the old school modding mentality... it's completely free, doesn't even require HL1 or HL2 to play.

I only saw about this yesterday and meant to make a post. I can't wait to try it, hopefully plenty of people will vote it through greenlight too :ptu:

It's been getting my hopes up for years. When it first appeared I was excited but then nothing happened and it was forgotten about and then at least once a year more screenshots/video would appear and get excited again but nothing... but at last looks like they have something to give us! yey!

I originally saw this years ago but thought it had died a death but was really glad when I heard it was back on, even better that its still free, I would pay money for it but well free is better.

Its going to be a good end to the year for games though, this Xcom and Borderlands 2 should keep me busy for a while.

Now one of the 1st 10 games to get greenlighted on steam so its now an official game with steam achievements, advertisement in store/library and it's own community... and it's still free! :D

Damn, I thought I'll play this on hard, it's tough as old boots hard and spoils the fun, so don't!

I set in on normal but haven't had time to actually get into it yet, I'm hoping I'll get a proper run through in the evening. Looks lovely at 1920x1200 full everything and runs smooth as silk 8)

Playing on normal and its hard enough... man has it really been that long since I've played an fps with health in it? We have become soft.
