[HL2] HL2 in november ?
Dus de kans zit er in da het pas in november uitkomtIn Gamespot's latest "rumor control" article it is reported that Half-Life 2 is expected for a November release, with the release candidate only being shipped to Vivendi on September 15th. Here's a quote:
Before asking Vivendi for confirmation, we went to marketing rep Doug Lombardi at Valve. "We're currently planning to send release candidates to Vivendi by September 15th," he told us. The timing's right. "However," he adds before we can get our hopes up, "VUG hasn't given us a ship date yet. Might be best for you to ask them directly. Let me know what you hear."
Whereas this all sounds authentic enough, I still can't help but doubt that quote from Doug Lombardi. If you replaced "release candidates" with "gold masters" I'd have a better time believing the whole thing, especially considering the game was thought to be in RC stage since this time last month.
Our PR guru, Icarus, has e-mailed Doug Lombardi for a statement on this and we'll update you all as soon as we have any new information.
However, if all of this does pan out to be true, and the game is indeed released in November, there still isn't much longer to wait. And it's not as if this was out of the realms of possibility all along, as Doug Lombardi had recently stated that we would see the game in Summer/Autumn (Fall).

Valve zei de eerste RC te zenden naar Vivendi zodra de CS:S Beta gedaan was, maar toen is de Beta een week delayed. Maar het lijkt er nu op dat de Beta op zijn eind loopt.
Bovendien is Gamespot de enige die bezig is over een releasedate in november."At the beginning of the Portal development process, we sat down as a group to decide what philosopher or school of philosophy our game would be based on. That was followed by about fifteen minutes of silence and then someone mentioned that a lot of people like cake."

September wordt het waarschijnlijk niet.
Hoewel dat Valve de game wel heel grondig zal gescreend hebben, zal VU zelf ook wel hun eigen testen willen doen."At the beginning of the Portal development process, we sat down as a group to decide what philosopher or school of philosophy our game would be based on. That was followed by about fifteen minutes of silence and then someone mentioned that a lot of people like cake."

Valve test(te) op allebei. VU ook op allebei, maar toch vooral op hardwareconflicten. Die zijn het ergst.

Valve hun testen zijn volgens mij strenger als die van VU dus normaal gezien krijgen we dan de game in oktober in onze handen.
