cs: cz now made by ritual?

CS: CZ now made by Ritual?

asspennies @ 1:38 pm pst on 12/6/02 - indie games

First Rogue, then Gearbox, now Ritual? Shacknews is reporting that Ritual is holding a workshop at the CPL detailing their work on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. This raises many questions, such as, is content from Gearbox still around? Is this a completely new game? Is this the reason for the delays? According to Shacknews' sources, Ritual took over development of the game in August.

Confirmation: VALVe has confirmed that the game is now in Ritual's hands over on Shacknews again.

comment #1 cheetarah654 cheetara runs fast 1:41 pm pst - 12/6/02	Edited by cheetarah654 @ 4:07 pm pst on 12/6/02 perhaps i was too harsh on my first post. I HOPE that the game is not much different from the videos we have seen. maybe this is just the cause for the delay, and it will turn out to be a lot better. that is, if it ever comes out/

comment #2 moda 1:41 pm pst - 12/6/02	wot :(

comment #3 rizzuh 1:43 pm pst - 12/6/02	I'm inclined to believe this as from what I hear some folks were not too pleased with Gearbox when it came to CS: CZ. Hopefully the game will be released soon.

comment #4 Gameshot911 Waka Waka Waka 1:46 pm pst - 12/6/02	CS:CZ = TFC2 Need i say more?

comment #5 David Johnston you stink, losers 1:56 pm pst - 12/6/02	TF2 moron, not TFC2. The difference is very important (as some people here may remember...) Ritual now, eh? I would comment, but I probably shouldn't, and I don't know what I'd say anyway. All I know is that it looked good already, aside from that 6th shot on the screenshot page... that map looks awful! de_tides, eh? Prolly a dust-ripoff...

comment #6 moda 1:56 pm pst - 12/6/02	yes, 'i am stupid'

comment #7 Captinspliff put something here later 1:58 pm pst - 12/6/02	Gameshot911 wrote.. CS:CZ = TFC2 Need i say more? i agree, i feel condition zero is becoming the new tf2/dnf

comment #8 Gpig 1:59 pm pst - 12/6/02	Ah, dave is finally back yelling at people for saying TFC2. That's hilarious. It may be schedueled again for the holiday season afterall(2003, again ghost and the like...oh wait, ghost is made by blizzard). Of course if they don't make it out by then, they'll probably say "screw it" about the engine. Funny, funny stuff. I just want CS2 to have bots to play to get better so I'm in no huge hurry.

comment #9 WooFerPPK 2:01 pm pst - 12/6/02	csz is never going to come out, its going to become like tf2. Also i bet there going to delay once again the new update for cs that should have came out about a month ago.

comment #10 orion 2:06 pm pst - 12/6/02	Edited by -:Nighthawk:- @ 1:46 am pst on 12/7/02 I think im going to ...[Edit] not talk about avatars. CS:CZ is just being pushed back and back again, more or less becoming the next TF:2. CS 1.6 is also being delayed a lot, Im wondering if its supposed to be the patch for TF:2 ?

comment #14 SinaC 2:24 pm pst - 12/6/02	its never coming out.

comment #15 Electronic Punk Administrator 2:25 pm pst - 12/6/02	Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Development Moves to Ritual The primary development of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (CS:CZ) has moved to Ritual Entertainment. Counter-Strike: Condition Zero introduces single player gaming to the world's #1 online action game. Representatives from Ritual and Valve will be presenting the latest on CS:CZ during a seminar at the The CPL's upcoming Counter-Strike Championships in Dallas, Texas. No word on it being started from scratch tho... guess Gearbox are toob usy with Nightfire and Halo... !?

comment #16 MikeJ Zips Pwns Me 2:28 pm pst - 12/6/02	news to me, oh well life goes on.

comment #17 orion 2:31 pm pst - 12/6/02	http://www.ritual.com/news.html They haven't updated since August of 2002, which makes me feel great about how active they are. Score 1 for CS:CZ :-D

comment #18 rizzuh 2:32 pm pst - 12/6/02	I imagine the move to Ritual was a bit more controversial than some think it to be. We'll probably never know, though. Gpig20 wrote.. You're not allowed to use it. Yes he is!

comment #20 Geek Lord 2:37 pm pst - 12/6/02	Wasn't Ritual the company to make CS:CZ in the first place? (before Valve placed it in Gearbox's hands)

comment #21 ThrasheR 2:39 pm pst - 12/6/02	Edited by ThrasheR @ 4:43 pm pst on 12/6/02 Ritual COULD be the reason for the delays.. but it could also be the reason for perhaps speeding things up in the near future? Who knows. Still, to some of us, 1.6 is almost like CZ. The only exceptions are gas grenades, higher poly models, the player models, and the maps.. I'm looking forward to 1.6 more at the moment, then after 1.6, I'll look forward to CZ!

comment #22 Wintermute 2:40 pm pst - 12/6/02	from the second word of the news post i imagine it was rogue to begin with :p

comment #23 alfuh Official Server Forums 2:43 pm pst - 12/6/02	what the deuce?

comment #24 Geek Lord 2:45 pm pst - 12/6/02	Err..... right thanks :)

comment #25 orion 2:46 pm pst - 12/6/02	dp.alpha9r wrote.. what the deuce? I say we drop a duece on Valve if this dosent speed up :D

comment #26 Dangki 2:48 pm pst - 12/6/02	Geek Lord wrote.. Wasn't Ritual the company to make CS:CZ in the first place? (before Valve placed it in Gearbox's hands) It was Rogue Entertainment originally as it says on the Shacknews web site. And in fact says it right there in the news post.

comment #27 psychotic 2:50 pm pst - 12/6/02	Gearbox wasn't doing a good job with CZ? Who is Ritual??? quote from Ritual's site: The company was formed with a tribal model where all members are encouraged to lend their creative voice under the guide of senior tribe members. Good lord... Creativity in a supposed-to-be-realistic game? A tribal model creating a game of modern counter-terrorism? Someone go wake up Gooseman and tell him to hurry up with CS2

comment #28 Eagle25 2:55 pm pst - 12/6/02	Yay now with this new company, we can be optimistic and expect a 2109 release!

comment #30 MikeJ Zips Pwns Me 2:59 pm pst - 12/6/02	Hey rouge knew what they where doing. Crossbows in CS? BRILLIANT!

comment #31 \|NoiD\| 3:59 pm pst - 12/6/02	=( *sigh*

comment #33 MikeJ Zips Pwns Me 4:23 pm pst - 12/6/02	Team Fortress Classic was a remake of Team Fortress (quake) for HL. TF2 will be the sequel to TF, not TFC. Although IMHO it may as well just be TFC2 seeing as valve made TFC and not TF. But what do I know. I'm MikeJ not DaveJ. And of course you can't ignore the fact that Valve calls it TF2 and not TFC2.

comment #34 Mike Ditka is God! 4:26 pm pst - 12/6/02	Never ever ever *ever* coming out.

comment #35 [AnML]-Esquanku 4:39 pm pst - 12/6/02	i dont care who takes over this project aslong as this game doesnt have the same engine as half-life :)

comment #36 <bBfL> Bushwacker 4:41 pm pst - 12/6/02	ykon i never cared that it was going to be late, but this is fucking rediculus

comment #37 StealthMonkey Everyone's #1 Monkey www.stealthmonkey.com 4:41 pm pst - 12/6/02	omg.... afdsuygbfdgsnfsdhjjbfsdnbb

comment #38 Jsunu Link 4:43 pm pst - 12/6/02	They will find a way. And when they do, it will be the most banal event in the history of mankind.

comment #39 <bBfL> Bushwacker 4:44 pm pst - 12/6/02	and omfg, look at the games ritual has made.. they all look like shit

comment #40 mouth >:O 4:45 pm pst - 12/6/02	Holy shit! Ninjas!!! We could use an interview. Preferably one that answered such questions as "Hey, what the fuck?" and "Ok. What?". MikeJ wrote.. Hey rouge knew what they where doing. Crossbows in CS? BRILLIANT! They shoot pixie stix bolts and leave a trail of fairy dust. Levelord was probably behind that. In all honesty though, if they're giving it back to the people who wanted to add crossbows, do we even want to know what the hell Gearbox was going to do? Gameshot911 wrote.. Maybe someone could explain the diff? See, TFClassic is the title given to the wonderfully suck-ass gangbang "update" of a popular Quake 1 mod. TF2 aims to be a wonderfully suck-ass gangbang of its own. Whole different ball game. Or, so we've been told. TF2 is an updated version of Ken's Labyrinth for all we know.
