Half life 2 for Xbox is gonna be sweet... too bad they aren't putting it on live.

RE: Half life 2 for Xbox.

Honestly, I think it's going to suck. Most FPSs on console suck. They should of made it for XBox 360.

you never know it might not be as bad as you think it's going to be.

It'll be worse.

The XBOX does not have the graphical capabilities or processing power to run this game efficiently. Heck, it can't even run Halo 2 or Fable properly. Whenever I've played those games, I constantly see textures that do not load. There's even a cutscene where it's so amazingly obvious that you have the be BLIND to miss it.

Not on the Gamecube. In fact, my friend has only managed to lock mine up once. I was astounded. Knocking the console around, flipping it over rapidly, kicking it against the wall, none of that froze it or popped out the disc. But shooting a light arrow at Puppet Ganon at point-blank range will. Somehow it was so much light to display all at once that it locked up the game. I loved it.

Uh, way to contradict? Or at least sound.. funny.

Er yes, Squeek, we must remember graphics aren't everything, not to mention HL2 doesn't actully need shitloads of processing power. Thousands of people with shitty computers went on to enjoy HL2. Don't forget about Doom 3.. I hear it runs nicely on Xbox.

Speaking of Doom3, this will probably end up like Doom 3. Not bad or anything.. It'll be fun to play, and hopefully without extensive loading times.

Squeek, Halo 2 not running properly (loading textures, like you mentioned) is not a hardware issue but rather a programming issue. The developers themselves said that they cut corners to release when they did, specifically claiming blame for the texture problems.

Regarding the topic, FPSs should not be ported, period. PC ones going to consoles sucked and Halo PC sucked (it just wasn't Halo at all). By this unwavering logic, Half Life 2 will suck.

Okay, well, it might not suck for those completely new to Half Life, but how many of those people will buy it? It practically sells by its name alone. Anyone familiar with Half Life would be sorely disappointed by the port, is what I mean.

Heh, There was nothing wrong with halo for pc. Hell, it was even better because you could use a mouse and there were mods and more maps. But the funny thing is, is that halo wasn't that spectacular in the first place and the pc gamers knew that and didn't touch it.

I don't understand how only one example based on opinion qualifies that as "unwavering logic" either.

Either way, when it comes out it will be worth checking out. Even if it does suck.

Halo PC was so changed by the port that it became a completely different game. The spirit of the game was entirely ruined, thus further proving the point that trying to turn a PC FPS into a console one or vice versa just won't work.

You aren't supposed to understand. Just accept. =)

On the Fable and Halo 2 content i agree in some parts of Fable like in the village you were born at up past the house you can buy if you go up and right just a little bit there's a whole patch of just blank, its just Green with nothing else, its retarded but on the Halo 2 content i know for a fact that the reason its sketchy in some parts is to slow down the game content and make it load.

As will I! Because I love it for PC and its a lot of fun. I still dont exactly know how they're going to even try to match the PC quality but you never know right... like it is Microsoft.
