Quote :

"Black Mesa (formerly Black Mesa: Source) is a Half-Life 2 total conversion remaking of Valve Software's award-winning PC game, Half-Life. Utilizing the Source engine, Black Mesa will reintroduce the player as Doctor Gordon Freeman, along with the original cast of memorable characters and environments seen in Half-Life. Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source didn't fully live up to the potential of a Source engine port of Half-Life. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. It should be noted that the project is being built from the ground up and is not a simple port of Half Life maps and models into the Source Engine. The idea is to remake the storyline used in Half Life into a new polished Source Engine version with new models, maps, soundtrack, voice acting and textures. This total conversion will not require Half-Life: Source to play - only a copy of any Source Engine game installed on Steam. For more details, check the System Requirements. A comparison between Half-Life and Black Mesa:"

Just ran through the intro. It's pretty amazing.

So the idea is to make a game from 1998 look like a game from 2004. Okay.

A lot changed between 1998 and 2004. And if it's a fun game, why not? Worked for Bionic Commando Rearmed, granted the time gap was larger.

I kinda wanted to see the Goldeneye on the Crysis engine project come to fruition but I don't know how well Goldeneye has held up over all this time. Sure, it was a good FPS in it's day but now... I'd just rather play some other FPS. I think HL would probably hold up better.

It's technically the 2007 source engine. A lot of improvements have been made. Game actually looks pretty good.

Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, Left for Dead 2, and plenty of games run on Source. Still a great engine and holds up well.
