But how many years did it take them to do that

?

Just wanted to mention - there has been shots of HalfLife2 XBOX ONLY popping up around the web ... keep this in mind - VALVe may be able to get more money by selling out to Microsoft than getting Vivendi to publish it, also they've been having mis matching info with Vivendi which normally means bad things ahead!

I'll try and find a site with the XBOX only thing on!

"only" tags relate to CONSOLE exclusivity, not general exclusivity.

an "xbox only" tag goes to prove it has a 4-year exclusivity on xbox, plus pc.

**G4Z** · 21-12-2003, 12:38 PM

yeh, I already have my voucher (as doa lot opf ppl), so I doubt they are gonna make it Xbox only at this stage, afaik it has allways beena PC development with Xbox being an afterthought.

I cant wait for it tho, esp now I have my PC ready to play it

come onnnnnn!!!!

**directhex** · 21-12-2003, 02:16 PM

well initially xbox was an afterthought

what gets me is that carmack is an enormous advocate of extremely hardcore programming, which includes using OpenGL rather than DirectX. Microsft Licensing rules say that you can only make DirectX games for XBox, no OpenGL allowed - so is the entire graphics engine being rewritten for xbox, in general, will MS make an exception, and is that the reason for the delay?

**unrealrocks** · 21-12-2003, 07:30 PM

Unless MS get some kind of money out of the HL deal I wouldnt have thought they'd make an exeption!

**Spud1** · 24-12-2003, 06:35 PM

well aslong as they develop it for the PC first - which it looks like they are doing it shouldntbe a problem to us

unlike Deus Ex2 was was developed for the Xbox first - this totally ruined the game

still it wont be as good on the ps2 - its very rare that conversions make a game any better

**Pete** · 24-12-2003, 06:42 PM

can u think of any examples?
i think hl was worse than pc on ps2 do u think the same?
wat else?

**directhex** · 24-12-2003, 08:16 PM

half life on dreamcast was excelent, even though it never got a release

**Aaron** · 25-12-2003, 01:16 AM

Deus Ex 2 was definately the dissapointment of the year for me. Damn the Xbox for dumbing it down.

**directhex** · 25-12-2003, 01:29 AM

god yeah, just finished it.

my first futuristic conspiracy theory for kids

all guns should NOT use the same ammo, and a pistol should NOT use the same inventory space as a rocket launcher

and don't get me started on the dumbed down story

Just noticed this thread.....HL2 for PS2: ROFL!!!

**DaftpuNk** · 29-12-2003, 05:03 PM

Yeah I think so hexy, apparently it is the reason.
