E3 - Game Sites Get Hands-On With Half Life 2

Posted by simoniker on Monday May 10, 2004 @08:31PM from the hype-the-funk dept.

metrazol writes "Over at GameSpy, they have a first hands-on preview of much anticipated, speculated, flamed, leaked sequel Half-Life 2. Hint: They love it." There's also a preview at GameSpot, and another over at IGN PC - elsewhere, The Inquirer notes that "ATI will bundle [Valve-developed] Counter Strike 2 with its X800PRO/XT cards", and CNN Money interviews the new President of Half-Life 2 publishers VU Games, who says Half-Life 2 is "still realistic" for a 2004 release (Valve are now saying that "the game should be out by this summer"), and argues: "The PC is far more profitable for us than the console... you're not playing platform fees to manufacturers, for one thing."

If anyone still cares, raise your hand.
Thought so.
3D Realms is having its bubblegum chewed and their asses kicked again by that geek from Black Mesa.
