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."
XBox didn't have better spec, I'm sure my PC was faster at the time. Let me think...
Yeah, I had a Pentium 3 667 overclocked to 750. I had 128MB of RAM. The weak link was a Geforce 2 MX card, but that was only because I couldn't afford the Geforce 4s which were out then.
And considering I was behind the curve at the time, I think it's fair to say that PCs were better than the XBox even back then.
As for brand buying... Why not? Sony make damn good audio goods, so if I were to buy a personal stereo I'd make it a Walkman. Creative make very good PC audio stuff, so the jukebox I got is made by them (excusing all the proprietary filesystem crap, it is the nicest of the lot), and Canon make some of the best imaging products in the world, and I'd love to own a scanner, high end printer, and digital camera all made by them.
So sometimes brand loyalty is a good thing.
