Doug Lombardi on Half-Life 2 box sets; possible Wii game from Valve? |
Ó
GameInformer has scored a few more bits of information regarding the Half-Life 2 Orange and Black Boxes. According to the website, Valve's Doug Lombardi clarified that console users will only be able to purchase the Orange Box, while PC users have a choice between the two.
Both the Orange and Black Box editions of Half-Life will be available at either retails stores or via Steam (for PC users only, of course). When these editions launch, you won't be able to buy the contents separately. You'll have to buy the whole package.
Speaking of consoles, a Wii release from Valve is also something that has sparked a lot of fan discussion. While Valve currently has no Wii projects in development, Lombardi stressed that "the company was quite surprised by the interface and wouldn't rule out anything just yet."
Lombardi also cleared things up regarding the delays that have surrounded Half-Life 2: Episode 2. While a lot of people believed that the next installment was delayed to include the two other games, Lombardi said that this wasn't the case. According to Lombardi, "Nothing is done yet. Portal is the closest, but it's not done today."
Those who have already upgraded their PCs' video cards to support Direct X 10 will also be happy to find out that both Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2 will support Direct X 10. Valve also plans to include Direct X 8 support, and the company is also planning to support the older Direct X 7, but no confirmation has yet been made regarding the latter.
Some reports have pegged the release of all three versions of the packages as Winter 2007 but according to Lombardi, the current schedule is to release them concurrently in the Fall.

not capable wii graphics are very low tech to handle. it would not look great. its the dumb down version of it. not full price worthy of it, just get it on pc, 360, ps3. wii will get a longer wait, yawn.
You never know, look at the so called next gen game Motostorm, look at how few tracks it has only 32fps and all that free space it could of used on the drive, looks like they took a step backwards not forwards to me.
Wii is much more capable then the original xbox which handled halflife 2 just fine. why not stop and think about what your saying before you say it so you dont look like such an idiot.
not only that.. they didnt specifically name a title.. they just said a wii release from valve. another angle that you didnt even think of.
i kind of agree with you but i own both hl2 versions (xbox,pc) and the xbox evrsion is running hl2 on everything at its lowest point and i doubt the wii is that more powerful to play the same game on max maybe emdium but def not max and plus the orginal xbox's frame rate also wasnt to great
I'm not getting into this argument...but i just want to say, what in the hell convinced you to buy both versions when one is really all you needed?
wii is very small disc space would need to exceed. if you listen 1up info , they would of told you about why it was kind of small, its just the begining of motorstorm levels, duh. wipeout is coming out for it from motorstorm engine. plus there will online support for ps3 not on wii, never...... motorstorm looks great than excite truck lameo
