BM made Wireds 2010 Vaporware list

Along with Duke Nukem Forever, HL2:E3, and Googles Chrome OS.

Vaporware 2010: The Great White Duke

Discuss?
(P.S. first post, long time lurker, and glad to see BM still in media spot light)

Haha, I remember seeing this awhile ago, I guess even Wired is excited for the mod. Just a heads up though I think people know about this already :slight_smile:

No, they just made to 2009 list too…
Vaporware 2009:Inhale the Fail

2010 list came out today, hence the inclusion of Chrome OS and the Spiderman Opera.

discussion:

  1. Black Mesa hasn’t been “pitched, promised [or] hyped” for 2010.
  2. Its release date didn’t “slip from 2009 to 2010.”
  3. It has always resided “in the all-too-familiar ‘done when it’s done’ category”, except between when they announced the 2009 release date and when they announced that they couldn’t make the 2009 release date.
  4. It has not “been in development for more than seven years.”
  5. It hasn’t “been almost seven months since any media’s been released.”

Conclusion: the article sucks.

I think they should be honored being mentioned on a list among large payed companies.

Oops, just realized it was new. Funny that it’s still on there I guess.

Agreed. I mean they’re being mention in the same breath as Valve, the originators of the thing they’re recreating. I think that’s pretty awesome.

It pretty much shows how big this mod will be when it’s released.

BM:S has become the next Duke, deal with it

Really? Omg, awesome :smiley: So it’s gonna be released this year!

Exactly, the article is crap!

This is basically how the dev team sees it. :slight_smile:

Awesome.

And Burbinator… cmon, really?

I’ glad - def wasn’t posting as a BM=DNF post, just showing that someone at wired (2 years running) is still watching. Makes you wonder what they’ll run (and maybe on paper in stores??) when BM releases later.

If wired and Gameinformer talk about BM even once after release, I hope to god they link torrents and not a BM server download, cause it.will.crash.

Val

Bittorrents will crash.

Dude, the internet will crash.

half life - 1998
half life 2 - 2004

2004-1998 = 6

ep2 - 2007
2011-2007 = 4

fuckin math, how does it work?

Well hl2 was a complete sequel to hl1, and ep2 not even being a full fledged sequel that’s what they’re trying to get at. The episodes are taking about as long as a full game.

the internet might crash, but torrents only crash when there’s not enough seeds

whoever made this list is a heretic.

like that time you got mentioned by one of those rare BBC articles on gaming.

anyone still got a link for that?

Founded in 2004, Leakfree.org became one of the first online communities dedicated to Valve’s Source engine development. It is more famously known for the formation of Black Mesa: Source under the 'Leakfree Modification Team' handle in September 2004.
