Black Mesa Source, a full conversion mod for Half Life 2 which has been in development in excess of 10 years will finally see the light. It casts the original Half Life to the source engine from scratch. This is a nostalgic moment for us and a medium for those who have not played the original Half Life to know the background story of the events that made the Half Life universe.

According to this post :

We're freaking out over here! It is so exciting to share this news with you!

You can now Download the Black Mesa Soundtrack, courtesy of our very own Joel Nielsen, at the very generous price of whatever you want! Enjoy and share!
In the near future you'll see our Website, Wiki and Forums all taken down temporarily for renovations.
On September 14th you will see the first release of Black Mesa! This will include our re-envisioning of Half-Life all the way up to Lambda Core. We believe this is a great way to provide a complete-feeling 8-10 hour experience with a solid ending, make our fans happy and help us make the best overall game possible.


We are still working hard on Xen and BMDM, but instead of making you wait we are giving you Black Mesa as soon as it's ready! We're doing our best to help bring the immense vision of this project into reality, and we are very excited for what the future brings!

High-Fives Yo,
Carlos Montero - Project Leader

So, though Xen is not ready still, it is better than biting off the nails on all our fingers.

It is amazing! The team pulled off a Valve. Made everyone wait desperately for almost 10 years and then delivered an awesome game! :toast:

Valve should hire them.

I guess they will. Last time Valve hired the portal developers for their good work.

Bumping this thread because the Xen update has been announced. It's beta released yesterday as a preview.

Edit: Updated thread title.

Other than the above demo? No. Though it is expected to release this year.

I must say they have done a very good re-imagining of Xen if you see that video.
