Will the inner fan boy come out in the reviewers to stick up for thier beloved master chief? Or will they realise the potential Half Life 2 has to be truly revolutionary?...
 
Or maybe both games suck, and vampires the masquerade bloodlines turns out to be better than both? :D

i doubt they will directly compre the 2.

I hope they dont... Im just wondering wether the xbox fanatics will rate half life 2 or halo 2 higher?
 
I dont think they'll ever really be compared properly by magazines or gaming websites. There will never really be any clear winner because both games are hyped to infinite
 
there's going to be a HL2 on XBOX? Oh no, oh my God, it is going to suck ass with it's poor graphics and stupid gamepad

Because we all know there is NO WAY another FPS could top our beloved Half-Life 2.

OMG, REVERSE FANBOYISM :o
 
Master Chief is cool, but Gordon's silent killer type is better.

Do you have any information regarding the HL2 port? How can you be so sure its going to be great? Have you even considered the possibility that the port will suck just us most ports do?
And the retorical question:
Are you a fanboy?
 
Because i first played HL1 on PS2 and later when i got it on PC i didn't think it was any different hardly except for controls. Valve can port games so HL2 on xbox should be a good port but obviously it will have its down sides.

well i doubt it will differ much from the PC version as it runs very wel indeed on DX8 machines at low resolutions. Run the game on a geforce 4 with high in game details at 640x480 with no AF or FSAA and thats pretty much what HL2 will look like... in fact i will get a screeny of it running in DX8 mode.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Rob Smith of OXM work for PC Gamer some time ago? I can almost swear he did...

Not really - on a monitor that res won't look very good at all. Luckily, on a TV a low res still looks great :)
 
HL2 port = teh sucks?

Yes people, it can happen.
 
How will HL2 even fit onto an Xbox?

with such a low memory either the graphics will be reduced to HL1 standards or the areas will be split up into many, many pieces i.e. DX2 and Thief 3
 
I anticipate the graphics will remain pretty much unchanged save for a lower polygon count and that they will increase the amount of in game loads.

What rubbish :)

I'm considering getting HL2 for the XBox aswell - as long as the port is ok and the controls are well implemented (still waiting for Xbox Doom 3 to play the game in co-op)
 
Main reason for HL2 pwning teh Xbox = coop. If they implement it.
 
its like asking how many licks to the tootsie roll on the lolipop...the world may never know

That's true.

You really have to have the res in the 1280's with AAf/AF for the games to actually look better on a monitor.
