Microsoft Hails "Half-Life 2" as New Benchmark in Games for Windows | |
|
||
| Time: 10:23 EST/15:23 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Ensuring that the long-awaited sequel to one of the industry’s most groundbreaking games will not only live up to five years of anticipation, but will also give gaming enthusiasts a reason to fasten their seatbelts in front of their PCs, Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 will bring scientist Gordon Freeman and his creeping, shooting alien nemeses back to life -- with the vibrant graphics and enhanced gameplay needed for a truly immersive experience -- with the release of "Half-Life 2®" by Valve Corp. "We see ‘Half-Life 2’ as a new benchmark for the type of amazing experiences that can be delivered on the Windows® platform, and DirectX 9.0 is clearly serving as the catalyst for the development of these state-of-the-art games," said Dean Lester, general manager of Windows Gaming and Graphics at Microsoft Corp. "‘Half-Life 2’ emphasizes the trend we are already seeing: Games for Windows now deliver the most cutting-edge technology and immersive entertainment available anywhere." | ||
