Half-Life 2 Xbox Info & new screens!

No its not.But you are telling someone to buy a new PC just to play HL2

ridiculous

Unfortunately I have an ego to serve, and to keep it up I have to make good grades.  I care about my academic success more than how pretty the games are that I\'m playing.

Besides, Half-Life 2 will undoubtedly be released on one if not all the next generation systems.  That version will look superior to whatever rig you have going now and it will end up costing much less to acquire.

by the time the next round of consoles come out HL2 will be old hat (it already is in the PC world).  And I don\'t think it will be released for them either.

Plus consoles can\'t match the resolutions that  PC monitor can crank out.

Oh and PStwo here is a spoiler for you seeing that you waited For the Xbox Version.


I dare ya to highlight it....

  I tried but didn\'t read it all.

We\'ll just have to wait and see I suppose...

12:49 Mention of Half-Life 2 usually makes the crowds go wild - well, we at the office do anyway; and we feel we\'re not alone - and earlier in the month there was particular excitement surrounding babble stating that Valve Software is planning to bring its FPS sequel to consoles other than Xbox.
Reportedly commenting that a PS2 version of Half-Life 2 is in the offing, the developer also appeared to let slip in an interview with French media (although translation caused validity issues) that plans are afoot to bring the game to PlayStation 3 and GameCube\'s successor as well.

Desiring the official word straight from the horse\'s mouth, we contacted Valve Software to discover what\'s what.

Speaking to the developer\'s Doug Lombardi, he initially re-confirmed that Half-Life 2 has been announced for Xbox, then went on to clarify the PS2 situation, saying that: "At this point, there are no plans to publish a version [of Half-Life 2] for either of Sony or Nintendo\'s current systems."
Of course, this means Valve\'s sequel looks like it will remain exclusive to Xbox in this generation of consoles - somehow, we think Microsoft might be smiling. However, it is highly possible that we\'ll see Half-Life 2 appearing on the next machines from Sony and Nintendo.

When questioned on the HL2 for PlayStation 3 and GameCube 2 reports, Lombardi told us: "Valve is obviously interested in hearing more about their [Sony and Nintendo] next-generation plans and discuss the possibilities of doing something with them."

Looking beyond Half-Life 2, it certainly wouldn\'t be foolish to speculate that other titles in the Valve Software stable, such as Counter-Strike, will also appear on Sony and Nintendo\'s next consoles.

In the meantime, we\'ll keep eyes peeled and ears open for news on Half-Life 2 on Xbox...

will the lack of a mouse problem ever be fixed for future consoles?  Thumbsticks are so 20th century.

solution, don\'t bring FPS games out on consoles. They belong on pcs and should stay on them.

nintendo\'s revolution might use it\'s touch screen control pad to emulate mouse-ish control. :}

Thats ignorant to say.

There are Keyboards and mouses specifically made for consoles to play FPS just as they are ment to.

If you\'re talking about that Xbox keyboard/mouse adapter try again.  That thing sucks.  Everyone I\'ve read about who\'s bought one either sold it or doesn\'t use it anymore.
