Half-Life 2 Console Plans [Sep 29, 2003, 1:36 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
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."
"If Nintendo had any sense left they'd be at Valves door with a dozen roses and their checkbook. It could be one of the few games that could keep the GC from hitting the skids next year."
Look, I'm an ardent fan of all three consoles, but the Cube doesn't have the power to push any incarnation of Half-Life 2. Neither does the PS2. And technically, the Xbox doesn't either...unless it's magically more shader-friendly than Nvidia's other hardware, or Valve makes it look like a downtrodden version of the PC game.
