An interesting find in an old PC Gamer

[Section_Ei8ht]

I was sorting through an old pile of PC gamer magazines, and I came across this article in the October 1997 issue that featured Quake II.

Yep, this article is the scoop when Half-Life was being built on the Quake I engine.

And an interesting thing to note. This article claims that Half-Life was to be released in December 1997. The acutal street date for hl was November 19, 1998; close to a one year delay...

Made me feel very nostalgic.

Valve basically remade the entire game between those two release dates.

yeah, i was surprised when i made that connection. To remake the whole game on a new engine in less than a year is rather amazing.

At least they did not stop in the middle of the quake II production and wait for quake III (ala duke nukem forever)
