Half-Life contains support for Open-GL and Direct 3D and MMX hardware acceleration. The result is an entirely immersive playing environment with intensely realistic life forms. In addition, an advanced artificial intelligence system lets non-player characters demonstrate remarkable cunning, including group behaviors and progressive strategic movement and ambush skills. A proprietary character animation system gives creatures the highest polygon counts and most fluid character motions seen in a first-person action game.
The game features many technological advances, including 16-bit color, sophisticated colored lighting, and environmental effects such as translucency, dynamic textures, and metallic surfaces. Half-Life's strong story elements, advanced inventory system and story-integrated challenges create an experience never-before-seen in traditional "run-and-gun" action games. Gamers are given opportunities to wreak havoc-in true action-game fashion-but they are also challenged to explore and strategize for instance, telling friend from foe is no longer a simple matter of humans vs. Half-Life introduces a revolutionary leap in 3D first-person games by combining stunning technology enhancements with genre-breaking gameplay elements. The result promises to be the most exciting first-person action game available this holiday season. Half-Life combines id Software's renowned QUAKE (r) technology, Valve's proprietary technological advances and sophisticated, innovative gameplay.
Sierra On-Line announced today an agreement with Valve to publish and distribute the game developer's debut release, Half-Life.
