Cartoony?!?, you're playing D3 and you think the Characters in HL2 look cartoony?!?!? Hell the Characters in D3 look like playdough characters with a plastic sheen filtered over their faces. Have you even played CS: Source? Even the characters in that are more real then the characters in D3. That and if you really want to be scared you'll play Silent Hill 4 in the dark at midnight with a damned good 5.1 surround sound system. Of course if you're sacred of D3 you might have a heart attack but oh well!
The date of release at this point really depends only on two variables. When Vivendi Universal would lie to release it vs. when Valve would. VU would like to release it in november to pad their quarter 4 earnings report. Valve and by this I mean Gabe N.,would like to release it in September. When it is released is dependent on how much pressure Valve can put on VU. They actually have quite alot since I'm sure that they haven't signed anything regarding publishing of HL3 and can always offer to take their business elsewhere
Actually the same is true in the US of actual sales. However while vendors are selling more units they are buying less from RIAA depots and so the RIAA (falsely) reports it as a loss. If I had to take a wild guess at why vendors were buying less I'd say it was because people were stealing less CD's and so stors don't need to buy as much overstock
Slashdot Mirror
they have stated depending on the demand the will probably release it on linux. From there it could probably be ported to Mac relatively easily
Tip:Ignore retail release dates
Yes, yes it is. ID ffirmly believes in holding to an outdated mode of play
