VALVe haven't released many details, but I'd bet it has XBLive HL2DM or something.

no not for the 360 that uses diffent programing or somthing and valve isnt about to redo the entire HL2 game for the 360. it will be for xbox.

It's for the original XBox. In fact, it was voted best game for XBox during the E3 convention.

And it doesn't have a multiplayer mode. Isn't that just stupid?

Urghhhh looks horrible. No antialiasing, Horrible texture filtering. Textures aren't too bad mind you.
m0p m0pIllogical.

Did you saw dr. kleiners jacket! It could have been a straight hl port with better textures! Horrible!

Guys, in case you're forgetting, THIS IS THE XBOX, NOT A PC SUPER-MACHINE.

How about XBox owners who want a decent game?

HL2 + X-Box costs roughly 200 euros, a bit less than the prementioned PC super machine.

Wow.. That looks... bloody awful!
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-10 07:32:04 UTC Post #113539
I totaly agree...
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-10 08:07:35 UTC Post #113541
It could be worse guys...
Apart from the resolution (which on TV will look better than that), the only bad thing I see is the model textures, which look rather crappy & low res.
Still, I think it's an accomplishment to get the game working on the xbox (supposing framerates are fine)

What I dont understand is who this game is directed at. I'm sure HL fans will prefer to have this game for PC even if they have an Xbox, and tell xbox users that this game is worth a new PC :D

well look at the combine shield. where are the nice shaders?
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-10 11:40:49 UTC Post #113583
wow, this is about the same quality i get on the PC. note to self: get new PC.
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-10 12:32:42 UTC Post #113599
Come on, it's not as horrible as people are describing. Perhaps all the negative comments brought my expectation so low that I was actually pleasantly surprised when it looks decent.

And there are more horrible things in life, like getting leukemia or falling into a coma after head injury.

xbox is far from even a decent computer, Pentium3 733MHz (some new models have 833), geforce 3 graphics and 64mb of ram. horrible!!

but its not as bad as it could be, kinda looks good for a xbox.

they really should port it to the PS3 instead, then maybe they would get it to look good.

I can't ever imagine playing a shooter on a console. There just aren't enough keys to control all the things.

I wonder what keys are necessary to drop a grenade using the secondary fire mode and switch to the gravity gun and suck it up and shoot it out before it explodes in your face.

now thats what makes consoles confusing. y'see, the xbox 360 will have a 700mhz processor, but when compared to PCs it'll be a few steps ahead of anything availible to people not building military supercomputers.

the "I WIN" button does all of that for you. although thinking about it, left trigger for dropping the grenade, black button to bring out the grav gun and left then right triggrs respectively for picking up and firing.

xbox 360 will have a 700mhz processor
What? I read its cores were clocked at 3.0GHz?
Seventh-Monkey Seventh-MonkeyPretty nifty
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-11 02:32:58 UTC Post #113702
The old Xbox has the 700MHz, the Xbox360 will have three 3.2GHz CPUs.
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-11 02:48:58 UTC Post #113703
Those HL2 Xbox screenies are horrible. HL 1 almost looks better on a decent PC. I agree it would be better to port it to the PS3 with a High Definition mode for people using HDTV's and see if those cell processors are really as powerfull as SONY says.

how the hell do you get three proccessors, i want a mobo that can do that

Consoles will never beat PCs in any area.
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-11 21:55:34 UTC Post #113826
i just wonder if i looks any better playin on a 360 it will work because of the emulator in it so any1 that has xbox games can buy a 360 and still keep their games, but im sure that it will require somthing to enable the emulator(like the remote adaptor you need to play DVD's) Microsoft jus wants more money. (bill gates is such an @$$HOLE)
(by the way 200euros?, is that like around 200 us dollars, cus the console is about $150 and the game will be about $50-$60)
Posted 19 years ago2005-06-12 07:06:34 UTC Post #113887
it doesnt matter how it looks anyways. shooters just dont work on consoles!

Its like Worms 2 on Ps1.. OH YEAH! THAT WORKS (dripping with sarcasm)

I played Medal Of Honour On A Ps2 and it was awful!

What are you saying man? Worms 2 works just fine with a game pad and so does Medal of Honour once you get familiar with the controls.

Well, since the USD has dropped alot (Take that, yankee bastards!) ?100 is probably like $60-70.

FPS's on consoles are DEATH :x

Wouldn't it be, like, the other way around?
$100 is worth ?82.45 according to XE.com anyway.

ZL is in like 8th grade, he can't count :)

However, he is right about fps' on consoles. You just can't get the same accuracy with a gamepad. Mouse + Keyboard Pwns

Yeah. Definitely.

Down with consoles!

PCS RULEZ. XboX is kinda a computer really. Not a console because Processors? Grapics Cards? They are not in a PS2. (I don't think, I think PS2s work in a diffrent way). Xbox Sucks. Pcs rule. PSP rule. PS3 Rule. Xbox 360 = maybe good. PS2 = good PS1 = crap. GBA = better than XboX

i just got the new Metal of Honor game. now I get to go kill peope in most of your contries again. but im really pissed its not out on PC. that seems to have been a very stupid mistake by EA. the PC version would have looked so much better.

stupid consoles
stupid gamers who think the PC is for geeks
stupid companys who make the games for the consoles first and the PC later further pushing the power to th consoles.
stupid rants of mine

RockStar Did that. At least Midnight Club 3 Dub edition is coming out for PSP.
