I hope Valve releases Half Life 3 exclusive to Xbox 720 and PC

Both architectures of the two Microsoft platforms will probably be the same. They could really take advantage of both systems power but putting the entire team to work on this game and not spread themselves too thin and having to worry about horrible sony architecture designs of the playstation. As you know PS2 and PS3 are a nightmare for developers to work with. They could really maximize the power of the graphics, if they just focus on Xbox and PC platforms. What do you think?

Nope have it exclusive to Xbox 360

Highly doubt that. It is possible for it to be a timed exclusive... but a complete exclusive would piss a buttload of people.

thats sort of like not titles.

Head explode............

Exclusive?

On two Systems?

That is if it ever gets released.

I really do think Gabe Newell hates the playstation brand. He's a lemming and hermit I think. So I think this is a good possibility.

If it were on two platforms, it wouldn't be exclusive.

they could maximize the graphics if they ignored consoles completely. ferret-gamer

Xbox platform is pretty much a PC. Both can use directX. Porting is pretty much like pushing a button.

If it were on two platforms, it wouldn't be exclusive.

You are probably underestimating the power of the Xbox 720 when it releases.

Sorry sir but I'm gonna have to ask you for that crystal ball

your assumptions about what the ps4 would use are hilarious

If anything it should be PC only and then ported to the next consoles similar to HL2.

It took 10 years to get half life 2 on Mac. Mac users would just have to wait longer.

I can only predict future events by going on past events. PS1, ps2, ps3,,,extremely hard to develop for, nightmare to developers. So I'm guessing ps4 will be the same thing. Blame Sony, they love making proprietary tools.

Last I checked, the answer is no.

bull**** if anything, half life 3 should be exclusive to the PC alone

Nope have it exclusive to Xbox 360

you may want to check how long half life 2 has been out.... and how long valve has actually been working to get it on osx.

Like I said before Xbox and PC have the same architecture. Both use direct x.

I think this would be huge for Microsoft. The next half life. Sequel to one of the best games of all time only on Xbox and PC. Sounds really really sweet.

Half Life 3 = PC first, consoles following this gen later (or so I expect it to be :P).

They should make it for PC first and make sure it runs smoothly there, then they can port it wherever they want. I hope it's light on the resources like HL2 was, you could run that thing on maxed settings on a 10 year old computer and it still looks as good as most console games this generation.

[QUOTE="bphan"]

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"]you know what would help them to make the best game possible even more? If they would forget about Xbox 720 and make it PC exclusive. Since you are obviously only interested in quality of the game, not the silly fanboy wars on SW I'm sure you will aprove :)

Porting to Xbox from PC is so easy. It's like pushing a button that's how easy it is. Unlike the PS3. You have to have a whole team to figure out the puzzle of that console.

Nah it would look awesome on both. The power of Xbox 720 is being underestimated. Have you seen Alan wake. Look at time times 10. Half life 3 on pc and Xbox exclusive to Microsoft would look schweet.

Make it as a PC exclusive then port adapt for whatever console don't care. Just don't screw up the PC version.

Valve and MS should team up permanently. They are made for each other. I think Gabe use to work for Microsoft.

I remember someone said this before but it didn't make sense. Out of all the components, what is the one thing you need that cannot be replaced by anything else if you want to play a pc game. That's windows. Everything else from video card to cpu is replaceable. :)
