Black Mesa Mod Trailer Teases Prettier Half-Life
by Chris Faylor, Dec 01, 2008 9:56am PSTBack in 2004, a small team began crafting a mod that would recreate Valve's first Half-Life with the latest in graphical bells and whistles. Come 2008, it's still in development, and the Black Mesa team has produced a trailer of its work.
Powered by the Source Engine, and thus requiring a Source-powered game such as Half-Life 2 in order to run, the oft-anticipated mod is expected to arrive on PC in 2009.

I must be one of the only people not excited for this.
Mainly due to the fact I don't think Half-Life 1 is anywhere near old enough to get excited about a remake for. While updating the story is an interesting addition, I just don't think the technology is far enough along nor the artwork decent enough to really come off as a true updated version. The only section of that I was impressed with was the Snaggle-tooth sand creature thing grabbing the scientist. It looked good, but I've already played that.
Does it look better than HL1: Source? Yes. But that's not saying a lot.
I would have loved to see this resource & effort spent on something original rather than see them give an old title a spit-shine.

Especially awesome when you see the gman, with haunting music in the background.
Can't wait.

Anyways, it's still a better game than most modern FPSs, but it's still nothing special when compared to earlier games like System Shock.
Their website just went down due to server load
