Half-Life 2 Targeted for Summer Release

Posted by simoniker on from the coming-soonish dept.

Gudlyf writes "According to CNN Money, Valve's director of marketing Doug Lombardi announced that the company is 'currently targeting this summer for the completion of Half-Life 2'. From the article: 'Valve does not plan to reveal any additional information until the time surrounding the E3 trade show, where the game will once again be shown this year. E3 will be held in Los Angeles May 12-14.'" The game was delayed following a previously covered code leak, and the article also notes: "Arkane Studios, an independent French developer that created the critically-acclaimed role-playing game 'Arx Fatalis,' has licensed [Half-Life 2's Source engine] for a forthcoming title [as has Troika's Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines]."

    So, does this mean that halfway to summer, it will get delayed again? And then half way to the new date, a new delay? And half way to that date....

    Who knew Half-Life was the estimated time to release?

    Don't they realize how difficult it is to get two weeks off from work starting on an unspecified date sometime in the "summer"?

    I don't believe that for a second.
