Doug Lombardi talks about HL2 Xbox

[Blink]

An interview with Doug Lombardi has been posted over at Computer & Video Games.com and has some information on the Xbox version of Half-Life 2, which is due to ship soon:

"What have been the biggest challenges in bringing the game to Xbox?

Doug Lombardi: Having a known platform has been a benefit and allowed us to add some new graphic effects and lighting on the Xbox that we couldn't do on the PC, due to the minimum system spec we supported. So, those have been some of the most enjoyable challenges - it's always rewarding to see the game with new and better effects."

It's short and sweet, so give it a read.

Sounds good, if you never played it on PC.

WHen they say things like that they are designed to make people think the xox will have better graphics but for them not to say directly that it will. Bassicly because it doesn't.
