Is Their An Announcement Tonight At Midnight est ?

[Feath]

The guy who said that Vivendi was going to give a press release apparently got his information from Vivendi Denmark. And he said "Last night" so obviously his information was wrong.

If you look though all these forums you can see people saying "You can expect an official delay statement tomorrow".

Even Fragmaster is saying it now.

 

[Orange]

i think that was sarcasm, because they stop working for long lunches. hard to stop working if you are in bed

 

[Apos]

Even fragmaster is saying that there will be a delay? What has the world come to when FRAGMASTER is saying there is a delay!!!?!?!?!

Ha, I actually mean the "There should be an official announcement about the delay soon".

I think Valve is going to have to make an announcement on HL2's delay very soon, hopefully by the end of this week. Oh no!

In one of Halflife2.net's news posts some guy was adamant that there was going to be a delay announced. That was at the end of August.

Why?

 

[Goombatommy]

I dunno, i just got this feeling that sumtin's gonna come up. Oh hell i dont even know what im taling about lol. If HL 2 is delayed, it'll be 2 - 3 weeks max IMO.

whats that in mountain time? 10pm?


It BETTER be a announcement of goldness. I think everyone knows there aint no way its gunna be out by the 30th if it isnt gold by today. duplication takes time.

In the same way that everyone "Knew" the world was flat 1000 years ago.

Duplication takes time, but Vivendi could always got more CD Pressers.

 

[Goombatommy]

How do we even know if their even is a Press Release? I mean, there was no confirmation anywhere? Or am I wrong?

 

[Feath]

There isn't one. The time it was meant to come has been and gone.

uh oh... looks like no hl2 until at least november!

Erm why?

Because there wasn't a press release by Vivendi?

 

[merc]

yep. hl2 is now being released november 21... it sucks someone from valve talked to me about it. they said they want lots of people on steam before they release it and they want steam to be able to handle the release... steam is ruining everything! by the way i live in seattle,WA which is where valve is located ... my customer (im his dentist) is very reliable and comes in quite often... his name is eric smith i think?

-merc

 

[Javert]

Let the marketing blitz begin!

I feel something's coming. And CD burning/pressing technology is very good nowadays, so that wouldn't be a problem (and which company wouldn't deny them either!)

As for Gold date, it could've happened last week. Are game companies REQUIRED to release Gold date? (real question, no sarcasm).

Actually no!

And guess what they are required to reveal! Any delays so the public don't go into the shops and not find the game there.

Max Payne went gold about 1 week before release. Maybe even less so don't be saying its impossible to hit the 9/30 date if it dosn't go gold by tomorrow.

I like your glass half-full attitude. More people on here could use it.

As to the statement, my guess was Vivendi and Valve never intended to make any announcement today....I hope it's tomorrow or as soon as possible, though.

Indeed, if there's anything to come out of this whole Pre-HL2 fiasco it's that it's far to easy to falsify information on the net.
That's not all, what good is false info without lots of gullible people waiting to believe every last scrap of text available in a browser window?.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some albino alligators in my sewer that need culling.

i thought it was funny. just try to picture a dentist playing half-life. maybe that should be a new weapon - the drill.

 

[BloodyL]

lol, every thread I read brings off topic thoughts into my head:

"Ahh Mrs Stoneyface, how are you today?, please take a seat."
*Mrs Stoneyface sits and opens her mouth.*
"I see you've been looking after your teeth, conditions could hardly be more ideal."
"Aha."
"While I have you deadlocked in this chair I'm afraid I have some bad news for you, It seems our arrangement has come to an end."
"ah?"
"I've been reading a book called 'Now and Xen: The art of interdimensional hygiene, I'm taking up a post in a top secret miltary installation in the middle of the desert."
"ah.......*gargle*"
"Mr Calhoun was meant to cover today but he rung in saying his work agency has given him another assignment, they've sent over a pale suited guy who keeps pulling silly facial expressions at people."
"ah...ahh, that's better, what's wrong with him?"
"I'm afriad to find out, I asked him if it was a tic, he said it was a headcrab, don't worry Mrs Stoneyface, if he's not up to the job I'm sure I have contacts in the government adminstration that can keep him out of harms way."

It was by "Some guy" in "Some Thread".

EDIT: It was just someone on this forum who said that he'd just got off the phone from Vivendi Denmark and there was going to be a press release about Half-Life 2 but he wasn't allowed to say what it was.

A press release at 12am EST would be absurb, even if it was another time zone.

But it's been and gone, it hasn't happened.

The guy himself just said "Tonight" and he was talking to somone from Denmark so it's pretty much passed.

 

[crumbles]

It's 11:09pm here on the west coast...only an hour before midnight...it doesn't look too good for anything tonight.

waaaaah.

 

[Homer]

its midnight now on the left coast. that puts it 2 hours past the supposed time of the announcement. I gues it was just bullshit

or maybe the announcement is set for midnight in hawaii time...

 

[Homer]

I know, they ment midnight 2 weeks from today! when it will be announced by gabe that "muaHAHAHAHA! ITS FAKE!! HAHAHA! I FOOL YOU!!!!!".

 

[Feath]

Even if the "Press Release by Vivendi" wasn't made up, it's pretty certain that the 12am EST time was made up.

god, you know what's really sad? my life would probably somehow be completely screwed over if it turned out hl2 was a hoax. no, seriously, i'd probably end up in a coma. i'm getting scared just thinking about it...
