I've just been to cube-europe and read this very exciting news :)

Will this most anticipated title make it to a Nintendo system afterall?
Speaking recently with Vossey.com, Doug Lombardi, marketing director of Valve, let slip that Half Life 2 will be available to Nintendo gamers in the future.

Vossey.com : Will Half-Life 2 be released on other platforms?

DL : Yes, notably on Xbox. The game will be available on Xbox but not until 2004. The partnership with Microsoft isn’t exclusive and we will also see this game on the next consoles by Sony and Nintendo.

So there you have it, not a GameCube game but looking like an early title for Nintendo's next system, currently known as N5. Dare we suggest it may even be a possible launch game for the system? The dates point to it being a real possibility, and it would certainly be a great piece of first day software.

This is great news, lets hope some other great 3rd party titles get signed up for the N5. :guitar:

That is excellent news. Although having to fork out for more hardware after only 2 years isn't a prospect I look forward to....

"we will also see this game on the next consoles by Sony and Nintendo."

The NEXT Sony/Nintendo console... It could have a keyboard/mouse and the graphics could look even BETTER than the PC game...

:sneaky:

but yeah I'd get it on the PC too...

I'm more of a console FPS person, so at least I will be playing this on the "N5". Hopefully when it comes out, Nintendo will have online out of the box.

Same maybe, not likely to be better. I doubt they'd go about making a whole new graphics engine for it. more of a port. minus some details depending on what the new consoles can do.

If you haven't seen the full tech demo yet, I suggest you go to
www.gametrailers.com and look under the most recent trailers. The game is looking amazing. Everything seems destructable.

I just hope my PC will run it at a decent pace.

I have. But I'm just not a big Keyboard/Mouse person. I prefer holding a controller that is comfortable. But I can play FPS's on a PC, its just that if X game was on PC and console, I would get console.
