What goes around, comes around.

I bet Gabe Newell is crying in his cheese puffs. Maybe ATI will by him some icecream.

 

[VIAN]

Omg, I can't believe this crap. So close to it, and then crap.

 

[FullRoast]

What a let down! Hmm... when is the next round of ATI (R400) cards coming out? I guess I could start saving now.

 

[Mitzi]

I can't believe this has been posted (granted, not by the same person) in more or less every damn forum! I mean what does HL2 being delayed have to do with video??

 

[Rage187]

^ where have you been for the last 2-3 months?


The big Nv vs. ATI war this started; how did you miss that?


I think its a conspiracy, rumors were already floating around of a 2004 delay weeks before the news of the source code being stolen. Gabe probably put it on KaZaa to buy him sometime.

You have to be kidding

 

[Rage187]

I said it was a conspiracy


so don't take it seriously.

 

[Genx87]

By the time this thing comes out. Those benchmarks of shady days will be a distant memory heh

 

[Rage187]

/laugh @ fanATIcs



I'll be on the 2nd generation from now GFFX's when this comes out. And it will run HL2 and Doom(w/o a wrapper).



So how is that crow tasting?

 

[rbV5]

Yea, yuck it up. I can certainly live without HL2, but I'm sure this will be a blow to alot of folks that have worked very hard on it. I think this goes way deeper than some silly brand loyalty.

 

[Rage187]

Max Payne 2 will be on the shelves Oct. 15th.

 

[Nuggs]

With all the 'hype' it's getting to the stage where it's making the game a joke.

 

[1ManArmY]

A reprieve for Nvidia, they still suck at PS 2.0 (DX 9) games. What do we have to look forward to for the holidays as far as direct X 9 games? The 2 top dawgs with new engines are off the track in the pit stop.

Call of Duty ( not DX9)

 

[Schadenfroh]

lol at people who bought all the cards just to run this game

 

[NYHoustonman]

Dissappointing. A day after the Sox win the ALDS, this bs has to happen. I spent $350 on a 9800 Pro thinking it would be damned close to the best when HL2 is released, and now it won't ...Plus the fact that I have to wait even longer for a game that I would have been well into by now with no goddamn delays. Life sucks.

I'm not sure I quite understand the whole situation, though. So, they have to completely change a third of the code for what? Or did they lose it completely, which I find nearly impossible? Are they really going to delay the game this long just so they can make it fully exclusive???

I know all about that but tbh it doesn't really interest me...don't get me wrong I am looking forward to HL2 as much as the next guy but if it takes till April 2004 so be it...I can wait, theres plenty of other stuff to keep me busy

 

[VIAN]

You know, I betcha it was probably nVidia who stole 1/3 of the code in order to buy them time to release their next gen card. At this point, I think nVidia is capable of anything. Their next gen cards are supposed to be due out this Feb. to March. A major was is coming... prepare yourself.

 

[Rage187]

^ you sir, are a moron.

Not a friggin' chance that happened. Do you know how badly Nvidia would be sued?

It sucks that it's delayed but there are other games coming out between now and then. There's Call of Duty, Max Payne2, UT2004, and if you like it Halo is available now.

 

[sirspotticus]

april? great.. hl2 will be a nice excuse to fail final exams :frown:

Agreed

So I guess now we can count the days till Doom 3 is released, and laugh at all the ATI owners cause their card doesn't perform as well in Doom 3

 

[KenSimone]

How does stolen code affect the release date? I'm calling BS on this. I bet it simply wasn't going to be ready in time.
