Half Life 2 on Xbox

[Red 5]

Why would this be put out for the xbox and not as a launch title for the 360?

 

Wouldn't that be a system selling launch title?

I don't get it.

They say it will run perfectly on the XBOX, but still, why not throw it on the 360 with some extra goodies then?

If Doom 3 can run on the Xbox, so can Half-Life 2.

Worse yet....I hear that EA is publishing it.

[Gregory DG]

Yeah, the VU/Sierra partnership is dissolved. Valve is done with them.

 

Now they'll go on to make millions of dollars for EA. As if they need more.

Don't worry, Steam is unaffected by this deal...

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Wow, I didn't know that. Its a shame.

 

/I know HL2 hasn't been out long, but BRING ME HL3!

[Famicoman]

Ea will distribute everything. We must stop it.

Yeah, if I ran Microsoft then I'd want that as a launch title too. I know that it can be done on the Xbox, but imagine if they really polished it to a shine and made it look even better so it looked obvious the 360 was much better than the Xbox. Of course, if I ran M$ they'd be broke because I'd just want to have 2D shooters and platformers made all the time.

Has it been confirmed that it is Xbox only and not 360 as well? It is possible they are making two versions.

 

Remember Rare tansfered Kameo onto 360 including a complete spruce up in just a few weeks thanks to XNA. So it wouldn't be that big a deal to do the same with HL2.

So far, Xbox only. As I said earlier in this thread, if the Xbox can handle Doom 3, it can handle Half-Life 2. Besides, the 360 is getting Quake 4...
