Half-Life 2 Xbox Info & new screens!

Never played the PC version.  I freaking can\'t wait!

http://www.halflife2.net

Jan from our affiliated German site, Half-Life2.de, yesterday posted the exciting news from the Official XBox Magazine who has the first details on the Xbox version of Half-Life 2.
Improved lightning effects - It looks better than on the PC
Loading times don\'t differ from the PC version due to a new streaming technology
The controls have been adapted to the joypad and auto-aiming has been included
They are still working on the airboat and buggy controls because it is too difficult to steer and shoot at the same time
The Source Engine has been adapted to Xbox so that Xbox developers can license it now
The textures are less detailed than on the PC because of the reduced RAM (only 64 MB)
There will be NO multiplayer in the game, not even via Xbox Live
It\'s not yet announced if it will be possible to download new content, but there was no clear answer
Estimated release date: Summer 2005 (for the US)
Interesting news for those XBox owners out there. It certainly shoots down a lot of rumours in flames that were starting to insist that Half-Life 2 would become a next-generation title on the XBox 2.

For further information on HL2: XBox catch the latest Official XBox Magazine in the USA or see the original news here.

Looks like SHIT

Do yourself a favour and ditch the X boullocks and buy a Entry grade PC.

Then play this game the way it was meant to be.

On a serious note... PStwo you should consider going for the PC version.

As you get

Better GFX\'s
Better Frame Rate
Online HL2 death match
Counter Strike source.
Better Control system (WASD + Mouse >>>> Controller)


And if you wait a while

Day of Defeat Source
the HL2 new chapter (might be Alex or even Barney)
more source mods than you can can shake a stick at.

^yeah, I mean cant you afford a measly $2,000 for a computer? obviously your computer is inferior and cant do the job, and there is nothing else better to spend your money on.

You  don\'t have to have a powerful PC to run HL2.

Even older PC\'s can run it and it still looks Fantastic.

unless PStwo has a 386 or something

I have a fairly nice machine that only set me back a little over 1k

you don\'t need the best of everything to run it, just a decent video card and competent CPU.

Games on consoles look like ass to me anymore.  Guess i\'ve become a PC snob

But i\'m sure you\'ll enjoy it on Xbox, it was an amazing experience for me from beginning to end.

i built a gaming computer two weekends ago for a friend. 700$ including the monitor. (p4 3.3ghz/1gb 400 ddr/nvidia 6600GT/21" monitor)

get a job if you don\'t have a computer capable of running half life 2

This is one of the best games I\'ve ever played. I hope anyone who doesn\'t have a gaming computer gets this game. It\'s worth it.

What\'s the solution for someone who goes to school full time, and has only a part time job which just barely pays the rent and other expenses?

$1000 PC for games vs. $50 game for my Xbox

Hmmmm...

Yea, 700$ not including everything.  

And Rikku, stop making so much sense.

fuck pc games, what are consoles for?

only pc game I\'ll be playing is guild wars.

Atleast its better than not having HL2  at all

Yea, 700$ not including everything.

the only thing it didn\'t include was the floppy drive, i has some collecting dust.
