read the very bottom it states

GameSpot contributor Geoff Keighley was on the scene for the final hours of work on Half-Life 2. His report, the latest in his Final Hours series, will be published on GameSpot before the game ships. The story will recount the entire six years of development on Half-Life 2 in detail. In addition, Gabe Newell goes on the record and finally comes clean about the September 30, 2003, date fiasco, and the notorious code leak.

something to definately be looking forward to in wait of half-life2!

this is waay to much good information in one day for my brain to handle lol

interesting, I wonder if it will be released about the same time as Prima's book.

???

is the strategy guide supposed to come out before the game??

Yeah - I really wanted GS to do a feature on HL2, like HL. Looks like they are doing so.

Sounds cool.

I like Geoff Keighley (and not just because he's Canadian). He did that great article about the original Half-Life years back, if you guys can remember.

It's ALWAYS him (most of the time), who does the "final hours" features.

He does it for one game per year - last year was POP: SOT. There is also one on Quake, right?

I think so lans, I think so.

Anyway, here's the link to the previous article about Half-Life so can get an idea of what this new one will be like:

It will be interesting to see how Gabe explains Sept 30th.

I bet he gives the generic "we were too ambitious" answer.

 

[Sai]

wasn't keighley the guy who also did the feature on dai katana, or was it someone else.

either way that's a really cool feautre article to read.

Good point.

I think Geoff Keighley also wrote the final hours for MGS2, as well, which was very interesting.

 

[lans]

Geoff's official site.

http://www.gameslice.com/

Cheers. Thanks for the link, lans.

Quite imaginative isn't he. Geoff turns a normal interview or development cycle into a story.

Can't wait for his next one.
