HALF LIfe 2 Gem

**Brutus** · 06-09-2004

This Gem is confirmed coming. Let's hope that it pulls a HALO and or a Splinter cell and get's the Xbox Exclusive for a time first.
This is probably the one game of the year that has the most improbability of doing that.

its gona be for the pc and xbox i hear (everyone knows its for pc i mean heck thats where it all started)

**Brutus** · 06-09-2004

I thought I heard that it wasn't going to come out on the Box. Now it is, for the most part, confirmed.
Was it not canned at all!? I thought it was. Sorry guys.

It has been confirmed for xbox, but they gave no date, since PC has no firm date yet either and that's what they are focusing on atm.

This was confirmed last E3. Everything was going good until that stupid SOB stole the source code.

He was caught (or at least a scapegoat)btw, but no updates on what they've done from what I've seen.

Don't they give out source code to HL2 modders? Or do they just give out a dev kit and resources?

And im sure it will be Xbox console exclusive, because there isn't a way in hell that it work on a PS2 or GC. This game is graphics heavy. I've played some of the beta's, and it barely runs on my computer, and its brand new with a 128 DDR Geforce FX 5200.

I remember reading about how they managed to put it on the Xbox, something to do with decreasing the ammount of detail for every enemy that appears on screen.

Of course it could just be a load of crap I thought up inside my strange little head..
Heh.. :roll:

Yeah! That's right. In the posted link up there it says that same thing. Something about how when there's a lot of enemies they'll take the quality per enemy down.
I gotta' say, when Xbox first came out I knew nothing about Graphics Processing.
Now I learn new ways for these guys to push the envelope with the little box that could. It sure is a nifty little machine!
