Black Mesa, the highly anticipated fan-made remake of Half-Life, has been found to be delayed and won’t be coming out this year as originally intended. The dev issues an official statement, apologizing for the said delay.

 

“Unfortunately, to our great disappointment, Black Mesa will not make a 2009 release. Cynics may now rejoice, bets may be collected, and I think a mod team member has to eat his shoe, but we hope our loyal fans will forgive us and realize that the delay will translate into a better final product that’s (hopefully) more easily available to everyone.

 

Once again, we apologize for what has to be very disappointing news. We placed a 2009 deadline on  ourselves to motivate us and bring this 6 year project to a close. And while we didn’t quite make it, we have come very close, and you can expect a complete, polished game to hit your hard drives in the near future. We’ll be sure and update if anything changes. Until then, hang tight, it’s coming!”

 

In case you don’t know what the fuss is all about, check out this video of Black Mesa below, and judge for yourself if it does look better than the original thing.
