Whatever happens on oct 8th will determine whether we see this game nov 1st or march 31st.. It has become a pissing contest...

I myself plan to begin getting hyped up for the lame halo2 as I know when that one is coming out..nov 9th,, no lies no speculations just the date and it's here..


So valve better get off their duffs and put out a killer demo and force vugames to release it sooner, cause by the time mid 2005 rolls around physics in games might not be such a big deal..
 
Let's try to be friends with the judge of this case!

Hooray for Zilly!
 
surely the reviewers would tell valve/vu the scores after the reviews are done? ... which would be sometime this month i guess, before the mags go to print and distribution
 
This is great the reviews are in but the game won't be till march!!! lol
this is making diakatana look good!!!! John romero is not the game industry whipping boy anymore...
 
There is no Oct. 8th anymore, it's December now. Read front page.

please dont talk shit. noone has even said (yet) about a long delay like this...
 
October 8th still remains a relevant date because the summary judgement hearing will still occur on that date.

What's happened is that the date of discovery - the process by which each side has to provide the other with relevant documentation related to the case - now encompasses the period from 10/8 to 12/31 whereas previously the period for discovery ended on 10/8.

The implication might be that such documentation would include the post HL2 release period should it be released after 10/8.

This is only important if the judge says on the 10/8 hearing that he can't grant a motion for summary judgement based on what he has been provided and therefore remands the case for trial in 2005.
 
"In other developments in the Valve versus VUG lawsuit, the judge hearing the case in District Court pushed the cutoff date for the two sides to present relevant documents (Discovery) from October 8, 2004, to December 31, 2004."

Sorry its right.
 
God, why does everyone have to just b*tch on these replies. You know what if you're sick of seeing threads on this topic then you don't have to click on them. Instead people have to swarm like vultures when someone makes a point or has an opinion. How rude.

WOOOOOW chill... :thumbs:
 
The 12/31/04 date does not effect the actual summary judgement hearing that will occur on 10/8/04 - all it does is extend the period by which documents are to be produced and made available for the other side.

read the previous post before yours. Its a good overview.

the summary judgement will resolve nothing then, if the deadline date is extended then Vivendi can just stall, hence this date means nothing.
 
Hey maybe we will get lucky and gabe will leave the rc on his desktop and that idiot will put it on irc again!!!!! OH YEAH WHY DID YOU NAZI FORUM POLICE DELETE MY JOHN ROMERO IS NOT THE GAMING COMMUNITY WHIPPING BOY ANYMORE>>>HELLO GABE
 
"the summary judgement will resolve nothing then, if the deadline date is extended then Vivendi can just stall, hence this date means nothing."

On the contrary, the summary judgement means A LOT. If the judge feels that enough evidence exists to make a ruling, he will do so and that will be binding on both parties as they BOTH had to agree to the motion for summary judgement in the first place.

Also neither side can stall prior to the summary judgement as both sides can issue subpoenas for any documents they wish to review.
 
All motions related to discovery must be filed by October 22, 2004.
Disclosure of expert testimony [by] November 5, 2004.
Discovery completed by November 18, 2004.
All dispositive motions must be filed by...November 18, 2004.
Settlement conference no later than January 20, 2005.
Mediation held no later than February 19, 2005.
All motions in limine must be filed by February 21, 2005.
Agreed pretrial order due March 9, 2005.
Pretrial conference to be held at 4pm on March 11, 2005.
Trial briefs, proposed voir dire questions, jury instructions, and findings of fact and conclusions of law [due]...March 16, 2005.
Trial date: March 21, 2005.

IMO Nothing will be decided on the 8th, I'm not saying vivendi will not release the game.
 
^^^
Those dates are relevant if a ruling for summary judgement is not granted. Those dates are set ahead of the October 8th hearing in order for both sides to have a timeline.

If a summary judgement ruling is made, then those dates become relevant.
 
"Valve makes a name game Named: HL: The Combine"
--Valve: The combine will have everything HL2 has, infact it is HL2 just fully renamed and made so perfectly we can screw vivendi and release this on steam!, since it is infact a "Whole new Game" but is exactly the same as "Half-Life 2" it is somewhat Half-Life 2 but named diffrent so we can screw vivendi and let those ******* go to hell and die.


Muahaha we are so smart!--

Most likly that wouldn't work of course considering i have no clue on how this stuff goes!
 
Valve is trying to push this game out as fast as possible, its so obvious what Valve is trying to do.

October 5th was it ? Half-life 2 review comes out
October 8th: Court date

Im sure it will come up that the reviews are out on magazine already and that they cant hold it back now. Right ? or am i missing something ?
