Xbox Half-Life 2 Late Summer Release

Posted by Zonk on from the console-crabs dept.

GamesIndustry.biz is reporting that Valve plans to have Half-Life 2 available on the Xbox during late summer in the U.S., and early fall in Europe. From the article: "The content of the game for Xbox is now thought to be exactly the same as the PC outing, although some dilution of texture detail and auto-aiming are likely to grace the port." The article also mentioned that, at the moment, Aftermath is likely to be PC only.

    Well? Or will you require Live to play it?

    but I refused to play it because of the whole Steam activation controversy

    Be happy you have an option. My new home (a student home) has internet that requires a proxy. Try telling Steam that. Even if there is such an option somewhere I can't see it because Steam quits immediately when I start it.
