Didn't see anything that hints to its release. Do you know something no one else, including their dev-team, knows?
Well, recently a video of a trailer was leaked and they did a "if we reach this amount of likes on facebook we will show you screenshots", etc.
http://blackmesasource.com/bmrf-employment-letter.pdf So Gordon Freeman worked in Austria before all that raffle?
Is that something they made up for their mod or was it already "canonical" for HL1? Why Innsbruck, should that be somekind of a Andreas Hofer reference? I doubt this Tyrolean topos is common knowledge outside of Austria. Maybe in Bavaria or France, but not anywhere else really.
Well most Austrians believe all scientists do not live in Austria Maybe they just wanted to illustrate the agency of a certain degree of fate which took him from a rather lees worldshaking spot of earth to the middle of a universe-changing event. Or they just wanted to exhibit how often and far you have to be prepared to travel and relocate as a scientist to pay your bills
Kids, back in the days when we had 56k modems, videogames were sold in plastic boxes in retail stores and came with a printed manual. I bought HL1 this way and in the manual you could read a welcome letter addressed to Gordon Freeman, working at the university of Innsbruck. I think they chose Innsbruck because the university was pretty famous for their work on quantum teleportation at the time.
I miss the good old days when the games came with fat manuals and feelies and shit and nowadays you just get like an incomplete beta and a piece of paper explaining how to use the PREMIUM DRM SERVICE to activate your game on some thing that lets them take the game back from you. Valve at least doesn't act like EA but still it aint the same.
Fucking finally. Took them a while. Hopefully it will be worth the weight. Also, thick manuals, fuck yeah. I liked those. I also like when they put something more than just a manual in the case, like how Far Cry 2 had a map along with it. If only purchasing games retail wasn't that expensive compared to my beloved Steam.
This. Also, does anyone remember the joy of a new megadrive game? The boxes were wonderful, as were the contents. Replaying this on an emulator just wasn't the same. Fuck I miss cartridges. To fix bug, blow cartridge.
its called the genesis, euro. and all the cool kids were playing snes while you thought you were hot shit for having blast processing also, yummy relatedness universal game cases+cover printouts=so kickass
My parents made me sell all my mega-drive stuff to buy 3 PS1 games I didn't want. I still haven't forgiven them.
BTW it isnt even a complete release: ... Edit: It gets worse... expanding and changing something /= being a remake... Yeah ill play it but im starting to have my doubts (after being quite excited about it for years) Edit 2: Holy shit, the soundtracks fucking awesome
I still have my sega mega drive stuff packed up somewhere in my parents cellar. Might visit them to fetch that stuff at some point. Well for me there's an annoying connection between manuals and DRM in my experience: Suddenly in the middle of a game, a prompt comes up and asks you which word stands on page 31 in line 13 at the 6th position. Or if you were lucky, you had one of those DRM-wheels shipped with the game where you had to turn the upper layer to the right position to find the word that's needed. But otherwise manuals back then really amounted to a good toilet read
I've got so many old good games that I cant play because I have no idea where the manual is haha. Forgot all about that problem till you mentioned it
