Black Mesa coming Sept 14
BloodShot:
Anybody who follows black mesa in any way, shape or form, knows they haven't had any new or significant media in a while, and would also know from the devs that upon preparation for release, when the mod was close enough to being finished that they could confidently give a release date and have no trouble making it, they would forgo the blackout and start releasing different types of media over the course of a couple of weeks to prepare for the mod's release.
They just started it:

Here is comparisons between HL1 and BM
http://forums.blackmesasource.com/showpost.php?p=464764&postcount=477
For those who don't know, BM is a mod for any source-based game (it's free, all you need to do is install source SDK base which is free with a steam account) that re-imagines the original Half-Life game for if it were made with current tech.

That is so freakin' awesome! I'd almost given up on them since they stopped updating completely. Here's hoping they'll finally make a release date.

Haha... very interesting... I'm following cinematic mod for HL2. Can you please explain "mod for any source-based game" with simple words... I'm not sure if I'm thinking right... Can we use it for other games too or just to adjust the HL game in any source-based game's engine? :|

Screenshots are cool, but I'm more excited to see something with voice acting on it. The guy they got playing Barney is simply spectacular.

It's a remake of Half-Life, but you need to have a Source Engine game installed in order to play it. This is no mere mod, it's such an extensive mod that it's almost a mere game.

By that it means that all you need is one "Source" engine game on your account. HL2, or CSS, or TF2, Portal, etc. all run on the "Source" engine. So if all you have is Portal, then technically you can play it - or if you download TF2, you can play it as well.
Also, VALVe made the "Source SDK" free for anyone to use, and since it runs on that, maybe that's all you need to install? Not quite sure of the details except for the fact that it's a mod, and it's free.
