Half-Life Dreamcast Cancelled

are you all happy now you ps2 fanboys

fuckin assholes =|

</flame>

This really sucks. The game was done, and if it had gotten pushed out just a bit faster it *might* have come out. DC had so much promise but the Japanese ignored it and the PS2 killed it with it's hype. Stupid stupid marketplace.

Worst thing is that its probably for the best. This way the Gamecube can kick ass and PS2 & XBox can fight it out. And I am happy to have 4 player / 1 cart Chu Chu Rocket for Gameboy Advance, and that wouldn't have existed w/o the DC demise. <sigh>

I think I'm sad about it b/c Dreamcast was unique. I played NES, Genesis, Gameboy, SegaCD, Playstation, PC but the DC was the first system that _everyone_ knew about from day 1. Parents knew about it, people without kids, newspapers covered it, right from the start. And it was powerful. It was the first time I didn't have to make excuses for the graphics... They could do 3D stuff that had a solid artistic style throughout the whole thing, like Jet Grind Radio, Samba, and Soul Calibur. Real 3D art finally. And yet for all the attention, it failed b/c of graphics obsessed Japanese wanted the next best thing. Dumb dumb short sighted humanity.

Randy Pitchford is such an ego, "one of the most complex games ever"? it's a half-life add-on. come on.

and of course in 1999 when he said opfor was game of the year. that was nice too.

die halflife die!

I REALLY cannot understand what people see in buying these consoles. I mean seriously, any game you get that is halfway descent you can find that is better on a pc. cusomizability, expansion, etc of the pc. What stuff are you guys all smoking anyway?

Haha, how long ago were we all saying this would happen?

Somewhere around the time that the DC was axed I do believe :P

still sucks. shoulda stuck with the mac version.

Sounds exactly like the Mac version... though I don't recall the Mac hardware platform being cancelled.

one of the most complex PC games ever made...

and one of the largest, I might add. Dayam, have you ever deleted your HL directory and gained a whole gigabyte or more of breathing room?

Maarten, maybe next time I post something like this, you'll pay more attention, eh?

I hope the guys that ported it got some cash. Talent like that must be acknowledged.. financially :)

Seriously, hate to think those guys port it then Valve goes "naaaaaaaah".

I agree, consoles are kinda lame and the PC is far better. It's going to get worse with microsoft and xbox trying to take over the console AND pc computer market folks.

Well, this sucks...

I don't get it, there are still 6 million Dreamcasts out there. Even if you sold to 20% of DC owners that would still be 1.2 million and by even console standards that is a hit. Fucking publishers, they are idiots. Are there retards adding the numbers at Sierra? Oh, wait these are the people that pump out 5000 different versions of Half Life, 'nuf said.

They should secretly leak the cd DC image onto the net, im sure they atleast want people to see their hard work even if they dont pay for it. better thana flushing it aall down the shitter i would say

Boo hoo. I'll take my Gamecube and PC now.

Gee, I only posted that WEEKS ago.

Or just buy a PC and stock up on as many emulators and roms as you can find...

BH

consoles suck, who cares!

Time to port it back to the PC and release it on the net for free so it won't be a total loss..

Or release it as an ISO for the DC onto the net. Your choice you cool DC dudes.

what in the fuck? is there an actual reason for this? sure the console is dead, but that's no reason to lose ALL the money put into this project

Is BlueSHift good? Do the new models, better graphix (whatever they did) make it better??

Old hat. It was confirmed last week.
