Half-Life 2 Console Plans

A report on Computer and Video Games (thanks Frans), showing contempt for other site's speculative posts on the topic, gets confirmation from Valve that the Xbox is the only console system currently targeted for a port of Half-Life 2, quoting Doug Lombardi as saying: "At this point, there are no plans to publish a version [of Half-Life 2] for either of Sony or Nintendo's current systems." They then proceed to speculate on the likelihood of PS3 and GameCube 2 versions of the game, based on Doug's comment that: "Valve is obviously interested in hearing more about their [Sony and Nintendo] next-generation plans and discuss the possibilities of doing something with them."

Well the problem is that the netcode is often changed to be compatible with XBOX live, etc. Otherwise there *are* bridging programs that allow you to connect several XBOXs together over the Internet (using a computer to sniff the packets). There are probably a few games that have close enough netcode that the PC would recognize it, in which case it probably wouldn't be that difficult to make minor modifications to these bridging software to allow PC support, but one would need access to the source code
