CVG - HL2 submitted for classification. Vivendi consider it finished.

For Pi to have optimism, I take it this is his indirect way of spilling what he knows. I can definately see it happening either today, or sometime within the next week. And holy f'in shit I can't wait. :bounce:
 
sry but i dont get it is it already gold or very soon or what??
 
i mean whats a BBFC and god im so confused plz someone explain it would be cool if someone could explain it in German :rolling:
 
BBFC = British Board of Film Certification. They give out age ratings for films and games etc. in the UK.
 
Friday would just be the perfect bloody day for Half Life 2 to go gold.
Especially on the 15th. The Ide's Of October! The Ide's of Half Life 2!

The Ide's of my birthday.
 
Well, like I said, I don't expect it to go gold today. More than likely next week sometime.
 
Gabe just told me that he wants all of you to go outside... and stay there for a while.
 
If its true:

[goldmember]Its gold! Its gold! Its gold! Its gold! Its solid gold baby![/goldmember]
 
Its times like this i wish i wasnt pessimistic by nature... i'll believe it when there is some sort of official announcment :(
 
i know im being a pessimist.
but the story pretty much repeated that
1)lots of rumors of gold are flying around
2)those rumors are based on unconfirmed information that a 5th rc has been sent off, and more bugs have been squashed.

nothing new, other than a news site saying "yeah there are rampant rumors, here they are ________"

If we had had news of teh 4th RC it would be
"We squashed some bugs in the latest rc. And it's our 4th!"
but there was still a 5th. Who's to say there won't be a 6th.

Ah what the hell, I don't think they'll miss november.
woo!



right?

From the site, it does seem that there is new 'news' - how credible it is depends on just how pessimistic you are, I guess. For some reason the summary is just the rumor we all know about.
 
I hope I get my gold goodies the day it is released. Then, I can wear them when playing HL2! Aah, I'm such a fanboy :)
 
I sure hope
If not ill have to Kill Someone

I read this atwork and coffee shot out my nose.
 
Hold your breath folks...it won't go gold until 2005. If I am wrong I will eat this thread.

It just doesn't seem like new information if everyone has heard it, tossed it around, and talked about it.
Putting an article up on a front page gives it more authority, but there wasn't any new information that gives more credibility to the rumors.

Right now everyone is saying that there's a rumor out there, and it may or may not be true.

Hard to be proved with a stance like that : / oh wells

Edit: and credibility depends on the reliability of the information, not on the opinions or viewpoint of the person reading it. It has to do with the source, not it's audience :D
 
Ok so how long does it take for them to rate a game? And does VU need to wait for a rating before it can go gold?
 
Well, if they have to complete the game? BBFC is a bunch of 80y/o pearl and rinsers so that could take weeks.
