Doug Lombardi Interview, DoD Source development still unclear - 26.5.05

  Email to a friend



Doug LombardiPlanet Half-Life's halflife_84 managed to score an interview with Valve's Doug Lombardi which revolves mainly around Valve's upcoming releases. Day of Defeat fans in particular might be temporarily dismayed at Lombardi suggesting DoD Source will be further delayed as they have something up their sleeves.

Certainly the announcement by Valve from October 5th of last year that DoD Source was coming soon has no weight or bearing on today's development stage, it actually appears that Valve has indeed removed that announcement from their news archives...

Halflife_84 : Will the new HDR allow us to have complete Night/Day cycles in a game?

Doug Lombardi : uhm, technically yes, uhm we haven't implemented such a feature in one of the games yet, but it definitely allows things to move.
You probably saw in the video we released of lost coast we sort of pulled the sky down to a night thing. So technically it's there, yea.

Halflife_84 : Day Of Defeat Source, any new information for us? Release date etc?

Doug Lombardi : Release dates going to be in the summer, couple weeks after E3 we will probably start releasing more new assets, we've been kinda
quite because we have a few surprises or what-not up our sleeves. Uhh, we decided to take the project a little bit further than we originally
announced so we will be showing some of the fruits of that pretty soon and we are still on track for the summer.

Halflife_84 : Will there be bot support in Day Of Defeat Source?

Doug Lombardi : umm, probably not in the first release.

Halflife_84 : Team fortress 2, any new info for us? Release Date? Media?

Doug Lombardi : Nothing new of TF 2 today.
