Trepid : Should we expect to see a playable Half-Life 2 demo prior to its release?
Gabe : No.

Trepid : Will Half-Life 2 be catered towards a particular brand of video card? As in NVIDIA or ATI?
Gabe : It would be great if we could pick one hardware platform with perfectly consistent performance, but we can't.

One interesting problem for game engines right now is scalability. You have to run fast on the DX6 generation of hardware (TNT, Intel 810), and you have to fully exploit the latest and greatest DX9 hardware (R350-based and NV35). There's a far greater difference between old and new ATI cards than there is between the latest and greatest ATI and NVIDIA cards.

good news , it will be playable on x-box so good for you x- box onwers

Simmo

actually I thought it was funny, the file's not to big (56k modem) and anyways you guys take up more time than him. You remind me of my teacher in school, stop the whole class for the day to discuss how an innocent 1 min joke will ruin the rest of our lives. We should be able to discuss freely anyways, we'll never come up with origanal ideas if they're discoraged before they begin. IT WAS A JOKE! he wasn't a complete ass about it. Just made a quik sarcastic remark.

I've seen him do it in a number of threads now, it gets very tiring after seeing it more than once.
