How long until gold?

[FoB_Ed]

How long do you think it will take for Vivendi to approve Hl2 Gold status?

 

[oldagerocker]

5 years, 2 months, 4 days and 6 hours 32 minutes.

 

[KagePrototype]

Maximum a month, I guess. Though it's really hard to tell.

 

[krackhead]

how long until dumb questions :upstare: , no really nobody knows, I think next week gold and about three maybe four weeks from gold they will release the game

How long do you think it will take for Vivendi to approve Hl2 Gold status?

 

[Organizer]

I'd guess 2-3 weeks.

 

[Chris D]

That all depends.

I imagine the game will go through a much stricter QA process than the usual titles as it's looking to be one of Vivendi's biggest releases of the year.

Also bare in mind, that it's not just HL2 being tested, it should be CS:Source and HL:Source too.

 

[Organizer]

Wow. The person who voted "never" is so cool. :|

 

[Gunner]

I'm really hopeful, I voted for one or two days =)

 

[switch]

If i was betting, I would say 2 weeks exactly.

 

[clarky003]

remember this isnt valve were talking about here , I honestly think the amount of testing valve seem to have done will save them time, so I realistically think a week at most for VU to label it gold worthy. Unless VU sit of their asses, which isnt likely, they want to get this game on the shelves asap surely.

 

[Rupertvdb]

I think we'll see it next month, maybe November. I don't think the RC means all that much, it is more something to give to a hungry community.

 

[iamaelephant]

Where's the November option?

 

[BlackMesaDude]

Since they sent it to VU i dont think it will last that long, if serious bugs are found but i doubt .

 

[PiXxeL]

As long as it takes for me to take a shit after I haven't been able to do so for three weeks..

Ugggh... I HATE assumptions.. It's like a needle in my eye.. We'll see when it comes out/goes gold/is stolen by crazy lunatic hackers, for all I care it's on my mother-in-law's birthday..

 

[ShadowFox]

I'd say it goes gold end of September. Comes out middle of October.

 

[kiwii]

NEVER!!! there is no halflife2 !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yombi]

dont care about gold....just a statement saying they are shipping to stores worldwide :|

 

[evil^milk]

Where's the November option?

where it says 'next month'

 

[The Monkey]

sorry for asking, but doesn't this mean that HL2 is gold?

 

[KagePrototype]

sorry for asking, but doesn't this mean that HL2 is gold?

No. It means a copy of HL2 has been sent to Vivendi, who will decide whether it is gold worthy or not. If it isn't, they tell Valve what needs to be done in order for Gold to happen.

 

[Ateoto]

I'd say it goes gold end of September. Comes out middle of October.

Kinda what I was thinking. Mid to late October.

 

[Yombi]

sorry for asking, but doesn't this mean that HL2 is gold?

no, it doesnt mean that

 

[A.I.]

Simon says:"Test the game in a week!" Vivendi will throw everything it's got at this friggin' game.

 

[Concept]

30th. There should be two weeks as a choice on that poll.

 

[Guus345]

i think it will go gold the 22 and be released the 13th of October

 

[skumbuzzul]

I'll let you guys in on something. If you take a look at the infamous gman.jpg and watch the hl2_fulldemo_e32004.mov vid. When you reference the picture backwards. The time of play of the gman pic is 11:??. As in the the 11th month. I won't ruin the suprise for you.

 

[Gorgon]

next week, on THE DAY I START UNIVERSITY 22..............

 

[iamaelephant]

where it says 'next month'

That's funny, didn't realise October had been removed from the calendar this year.

 

[JosephPorta]

sep 22 happends to be my birthday

 

[WiffleLess]

Gold in less than a week, shipped the day after declared gold, on store shelves first week of October the latest.

 

[iamaelephant]

Shipped the day after gold? Thats a logistical impossibility.

 

[Yombi]

Shipped the day after gold? Thats a logistical impossibility.

Only possible if they kept gold secert but im sure VUG want to push out as much hype as they can.

 

[Asuka]

next week

U HAVE TO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS WOW!

 

[ZEROarmy]

I'm sure VU game is just as sick as us waiting for this game and will declare this copy Gold.

 

[Agent.M]

Not a chance in hell!

 

[Seppo]

I'd say next week. Even though Half-Life was approved in what, 48 hours, Half-Life 2 is a much bigger thing. But if we're lucky, it could happen within two days. I voted next week

 

[tfotdead]

gold next week, ship in starting of october :cheers:

 

[Dr0ndeh]

next week i hope, for an early october release.

i wonder if we'll get the last preload tommorow now?

 

[Mr. Redundant]

I would have voted within the next 3 months, but there was no option for it.. so I guess next month.

especially because there is a strong possibility this could merely be another bullshit post by gabe, or someone posting as gabe.
hey its happened before
