I just played through Half-Life a couple of months ago out of boredom but I'm so ready to do it again when this hits.  Looks fucking awesome.

Can't wait until Valve finally says "No you can't do this".

yeah, I'm surprised they haven't done that yet.  Maybe Valve is eyeing the project and waiting to buy it up (umm, not sure why they'd buy their own game), delay it until 2012, but 10x better than what it is.

Valve won't entirely cock block them. they'll threaten to cock block them if they don't agree to sell their game to them though I bet.

Valve supports them IIRC.  Not like financially or anything, but they think it's cool and approve of it.

They should just pay them some cash and stick it in HL2ep3.

I think it'd be pretty cool if Valve contacted them to try and sell it through Steam, make a deal with them.

Valve has been in contact with these guys. They asked them to remove the "Source" from the title, which they did. I gather, other than that, they're pretty happy for these guys to do as they wish.

Don't see why they wouldn't be, anyway. Valve probably don't want to spare the devs to put them on a Half-Life remake, so what do they care?

I'd pay for that on 360 for sure. It looks so much better than Valve's own half-assed attempt at sprucing up HL it's not even funny.

That's because all Valve did was port the game over to the Source engine. They didn't remake it for the engine.

Half-Life is LONG. The amount of manpower required to recreate all of it at that level of graphical fidelity is scary. If they are able to do it, then that's the best-organized mod team I've ever seen in my life.

I probably would have started out with the Source version as a base and worked on prettying it up while maintaining the existing AI/scripting. These guys are building everything FROM SCRATCH. That's insane.

I still can't believe this is ever coming out, but oh god I want it to

Since they're building everything from scratch, there's really nothing to break.

Why would they want to hire them after they released Black Mesa? Valve's perfectly capable of spending four or five years to make a single-player game without any outside help.

You still paid for Portal.

Right now, i look at Black mesa and i think "This shit looks to have production values on par with retail games", it looks bloody amazing. And it's free? Cmon, it's like the perfect deal.

They would hire the talent after, to be part of Valve. What's wrong with that?

Depends on how you look at it. TF2 could have easily retailed on its own for $20-$30 and the same goes for Episode 2. Not to mention that the package comes with Half-Life 2 and the first episode.

I'd like to see Valve do another Orange Box and Black Mesa looks like the perfect addition.
