Could there be upcoming video driver updates for the Mac?

Benjamin SchollnickNo Comments

Well, Valve thinks so, they just released updates to Portal, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2:

Episode One and Half-Life 2: Episode Two have been released. The updates will be applied automatically when your Steam client is restarted. The major changes include:

  • Changes to take advantage of upcoming Mac graphics driver update
  • Fixed door getting stuck as metro-cop behind it opened it in d1_trainstation_01

I think there\’s a fairly obvious conclusion to this….

Destructoid has been able to confirm today that Day 1 Studios upcoming first-person shooter, FEAR 3, won\’t see release until 2011. The game was originally scheduled for late October 2010, just in time for Halloween.
No reason for the delay was given by the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment representative who confirmed the delay, and no official date other than the vague 2011 was confirmed. Retailers (who originally tipped us off to the delay) are currently listing it for an April 2011 release.
