Pitchford on Dreamcast HL

September 11, 2000 10:59 AM

Randy Pitchford from Gearbox Software updated his .plan file answering some frequently asked questions about the Dreamcast port of Half-Life that they, Valve and Captivation Digital Laboratories are working on. Again he confirms a PC version of the additional Blue Shift mission might happen (27 levels!), but that won't be decided on until the DC game ships.

- In Blue Shift, players take on the role of the security guard known as Barney.
- Blue Shift is a complete new episode that spans about 27 levels. This is about 1/3 the size of the original Half-Life.
- The new models are on average about twice the detail (polygons) of the original Half-Life models. They also sport new textures and animation articulation.
