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 industrys 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." | ||
