Blackmesa source 2011?

[BubbleQ]

Hello guys!

For about a year ago, the blackmesasource devteam/homepage anounced that they would release the mod at the begining of 2010. They seemd very sure about this, though in the last minuite they told us it has been delayed. Well this is fine for me, a mod is being delayd a bit happens often. But then it went 2 mounths, 5 mounths, a YEAR
A whole year delayed, what?

I just wonder, what have they done that needed a whole new year to build? I don´t know if I should cry or laugh, the whole situation feels very wierd^^

So I kinda wonder if anyone has a clue on what happend to it. Did they ported it all over to OB, or was it that allready.
Personaly I think(hope) that Valve contacted the team and told them that they could join in the next colourbox
A box with Portal 2, l4d3, ep3, TF3, DotA 2 included. And then also blackmesa

Eighter way I need someexplination, please help me!

Nobody knows. Wasn't BM:S due for a 2009 release as well?

Why are you asking us? You should post this on the Blackmesa Source forums just like the hundreds of other people.

Didn't they say a while ago that they were on schedule and were estimated to release in 12 months? (I'm not sure how long ago they said that.)

they said that in june, and they've also just recently stated that we will see something late 2010/early 2011

Black Mesa feels like Episode 3, except we've already seen media of it.

Black Mesa is being delayed to 2011 cause they are waiting for Portal 2's release, they want to know if there are any Source Engine updates that they can use that is on Portal 2. In my opinion it's a stupid thing to do if you just keep doing this without releasing a version of it, yet. I guess by now, it's already done, they're just tweaking it with God only knows what.

I don't think they'd wait for Portal 2 just because of new engine features. Wouldn't they have a lot of trouble porting all their stuff to a different engine version? I don't know about that stuff too much though. Oh well, I trust that they have good reason for delaying the mod. I'm sure it will be one of, of not the best source mod ever.

Do we even know if Portal 2 is even going to be released with code? L4D1/2 code wasn't, so I fear that Portal 2's code might not be ether.

Uhm, they already said that they aren't updating the engine from the EP2 version

They should just release the mod and update it over time. Instead of making everyone wait to play it, release it now and then people can be playing it while your working on porting it to a new engine version or what ever.

Black Mesa is very good looking mod and all, but I'm not anymore waiting for the release (haven't been for year or two). Way too many delays and quite long periods of no updates. I will play this once it comes out, but not expecting it to happen anytime soon. I guess alot of hype and expectations from community is giving them hard time to make the game actually worth it.

[Jike]

Duh. The reason it hasn't released yet, is because it is not done yet. Having it done and continue letting the world wait would be massively stupid.

They wanna get this job done with.

Fact is, it isn't done yet, because they are some ver veeeery slow dudes.

Hugely anticipated mod that has been in development since the dawn of time has missed its release date?

That's a real shocker.
