I thought I read somewhere today, that there may be a big announcement released tonight around midnight est ?
Can any one confirm this ?

Or maybe Valve will be nice to Halo-PC, and allow them 1 week to sell thier game, and release HalfLife2 on Oct 7th :)
But i hope not, because i plan on buying both
 
I will announce the release of an utterly fake interview with a Valve employee that doesn't exist. But.... the announcement might be delayed a little.
 
i also recall reading something about vivendi having a press release sometime tonight(no idea what time zone it was) about HL2. i just pray that i dont log onto the forums tonight and read, in big bold letters "Half-Life 2 DELAYED".
 
Valve has made the copy presses sign an NDA, not letting anyone know that the game is actually being copied as we speak, and will be shipped on the 30th. <hums>
 
There was a VU Games press release today.

"THE LORD OF THE RINGS™: WAR OF THE RING™ DEMO COMING SOON"

Vivendi have never written a press release for Half-Life 2 before, I doubt they would start now.

I log onto the forums every date and find that.

EDIT: Sorry, I should've just posted all three replies in one answer, but I replied as I saw posts.
 
Maybe it's about the Alcatraz event and the bundle with ATI?

I don't think Vivendi have anything to do with that. It was between Valve and ATi.

Sorry, I thought you were implying that you KNEW this for certain.

You can read that right now :x
 
I hope some statement of some kind is made soon, unless some super experimental hyper presses are used now for Gold releases. They have to go gold tomorrow to have a chance to make the sept. 30 deadline.

/me finshes stating the obvious.

Uh... unless Valve is planning to somehow make Steam able to magically transmit 9800XT cards from a warehouse to your computer, I'd say that any retail bundle is probably going to involve Vivendi, at least to the extent that it will compete with their own retail box.

Yeah, but what I mean is that it wasn't Vivendi who made the deal, they are merely supplying the games.

But perhaps ATi will just press their own CDs, maybe with their own version.

Or they could just lots of CD Pressers, perhaps.
 
If there is an announcement soon, I bet it will be about CS:CZ. On ShugaShack, they had released a CS:CZ gameplay video, but then it turned out that it was a mistake, and it had to be hidden again for a few days. So maybe it was meant to be timed with an announcement about the game.

Planet Half-Life linked to that Video, it's on Fileplanet right now.

Jesus, the game can get shipped to the publishers 6 days before it is released and STILL make it on the shelves with a decent amount of copies by 9/30.
 
Yes, I know, but apparently it wasn't meant to be released. Cat may be out of the bag now, but the fact that someone was trying to keep it under wraps is significant. Not that I care in the least about CS:CZ. I suck at CS, and I never got into it. NS for me!
 
Note: I don't see anything on the vivendi website that is in any way relevant to an announcement about games at any time in the future.
 
They'll annouce that they're sick of Valve's shenanigans and their plan to undercut one of their core businesses with Steam. They'll dump Valve and Gabe will have to have all the CDs pressed by "Publishers 'R Us" and have them shipped to retail using UPS donkey class shipping.
 
Looks like Vivendi's website is suffering a little bit. Perhaps getting whacked quite a bit right now? Maybe they'll do a press release in self defense.
 
So slow...

I think any website that gets linked through here gets hammered constantly for a short period of time.
 
In one hour it will be 6:00 in France, Vivendi is based in France. It seems logical they would announce whatever they're announcing around this time.
 
No no, don't rag on him. That's when people in France normally release press releases. Then they all go back to bed until noon.
