Half-Life 2 for Xbox - Soon?

by Maarten Goldstein Aug 17, 2001 1:59pm CST tags: Bungie, Valve, Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 for Xbox confirmed is a news article on Gamespot Australia saying Half-Life 2 is coming out for the Xbox, even though a PC version of the game hasn't been confirmed as of yet. While that's not even that weird, supposedly the game is shipping in October of this year. The thing is though, the Xbox isn't supposed to be out until November. Thanks Voodoo Extreme.

Half-Life, the highly acclaimed first-person shooter by Valve Software is set to re-invigorate players in the surprise appearance of Half-Life 2 on the Xbox release schedule.
This may indicate that other versions of Half-Life 2 may take longer to reach customers -- as is suspected of Halo, Bungie software's epic future warfare title. Halo was originally slated for initial release on PC and Macintosh, but since Bungie became a first-party developer for Microsoft, their plans have changed to favour the Xbox as a release platform for the game.

Update: Stomped has spoken with a Valve employee, and confirmed that the story is false.
