Black Mesa Launches September 14th
In a little less than two weeks from now, Half Life fans will have an opportunity to relive (or play for the first time, as it were) Valve’s original 1998 title Half Life, albeit reborn and modified using the company’s Source engine. The ambitious third-party project is called Black Mesa (previously known as Black Mesa: Source) and it’s been in development for eight years.
“On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa!,” Black Mesa project leader, Carlos Montero, stated in a forum post. “This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible.”
This looks ace. I’m going to grab this and play the shit out of it. The original Half Life blew my freaking mind when I was a young lad. I can’t wait to revisit.
