Computer And Video Games reports Half-Life 2 has been passed down to the PEGI (Pan European Games Information age rating system) and then handed over to the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) for certification purposes. According to an industry insider quoted in the article, a November release is imminent.

 

A BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) spokesperson has confirmed with us within the last few minutes that the government body is indeed in possession of Half-Life 2. However, they could only add at this stage that the first-person shooter is "under evaluation", as far as certification is concerned.

 

dette er vel gode nyheter...

halflife2.net sier det samme, men det er ikke kommet noe offesiell utalelse over at det er sendt for rating. Håper for guds skyld at det er, har venta på HL2 LENGE, om det endelig skulle klare å holde en dato ville vært fantastisk.

The words uttered by an "industry insider", as posted by the team over at Computer and Video Games. There has been no official gold announcment as yet, but it appears that Half-Life 2 has been sent to PEGI and BBFC for certification.

Speaking under strict conditions of anonymity, an industry insider squealed earlier informing us that "as far as Vivendi is concerned, the game [Half-Life 2] is finished" before saying that the title had been passed to PEGI (Pan European Games Information age rating system) for classification, which in turn passed the sequel to the BBFC for certification.

So what does this mean exactly? Well, possibly not a great deal. The ESRB recently posted their rating for Half-Life 2. Yesterday Icarus chased up the Assistant Director over at the ESRB who informed us that HL2 was reviewed by them 31 days ago, with the official rating being posted up within the last week or so. The full game wasn't rated and it's entirely possible that the same thing is being done with PEGI and the BBFC. As for the comment quoted in the title of this news post - who knows? There has been a lot of information going around the internet recently and it's very difficult to know what's true and what isn't but once we get some information officially confirmed, you'll see it here.

...Ever since the release candidate for Half-Life 2 was submitted to VU Games in mid-September, a piñata has hung in the lobby of Valve's headquarters. The plan: to bust the sucker open when the game achieved gold status. Earlier today, GameSpot learned from an informed sourced that "the piñata has been broken" and the game has gone gold....

 

Nå syns jeg virkelig vi kan få noen offisielle uttalelser snart. Det flommer jo over av rykter!

Har vel egentlig visst lenge at Half-Life 2 så og si er ferdig, problemet er tydeligvis å få sendt det i trykken.

Sant nok, men nå når de endelig har sendt det til rating kan det kanskje tyde på at vi endelig får selve spillet og ikke en video eller et screenshots med en dårlig forklaring hvorfor det er det vi får og ikke spillet.

 

Kanskje dette betyr at det ENDELIG kommer

Vel.. Så sent som sist uke ble Doug Lombardi sitert på at de hadde sendt flere RC-er til Vivendi, og at de håpet å få en endelig godkjennelse snart.

Å sende noe som helst til trykken gjør man vel først når man har en gulldisk i hånda..

 

Jeg vil dog fint kunne leve med en liten eksplosjon av HL2-entusiasme kommende mandag

Kanskje derfor steam begynnte å preloade igjen... Har jo vært på 100% før, nå er den på 80...
