Yeah I should have added that in my post. I already added it in , because the wii's ram can't perform that well all by being faster. I thought people would already take that in consideration. I would also like to add if the wii produced the same picture onscreen as the original xbox version it could do it twice as fast at least for it being at least twice as powerful. I speculate 3 times more powerful. You also have to know that the pc has a graphics card that has it's own memory while the wii's is shared so it is about equal.

This was already discussed in depth, many months ago, but yeah. Right here: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=12358

Yeah, I know it's Portal, but it's basically the same.

The conclusion was: It's very possible. Without sacrificing that much. I'd buy it.

Why do you people insist on making inaccurate thread titles. Add a simple question mark and it would be crystal clear what you were discussing. Is it so hard to make a clear thread title so I know what topics I would rather skip over?

I think it's possible.

But to be honest, I don't think I'd buy it.

Half Life 2 is in the past for me now. I play through it now and then, I've got a friend who loves to speed run through the game as much as possible with only a pistol to see how far he can get in the least amount of time.

I've played endless mods for the game, and there are still new mods coming out that really entertain me. Hell, Left 4 Dead will be running on Source, though the Episode 2 version of course.

But there'd be no incentive for me to pick up a Wii version, and I'm guessing A) HL2's fanbase will think similarly, even though they love HL2, if they've played it extensively on the PC, there's really no benefit in a Wii version, and B) the expanded audience probably won't care for it. It's a single player FPS, unless it had split-screen HL2 Deathmatch (the highest level of unlikeliness I know), the casuals wouldn't buy it.

The Wii could handle it, but HL2 will never come to it. Portal maybe, but I even doubt that unless it's Portal 2 next year or '10.

2010...no way I mean Portal 2 would use the same engine I'm sure. All they have to do really is make more levels, this is assuming if they are making portal on Wii...

The Graphics Processing Unit in the Wii is seperate from the CPU, and the Wii isn't twice as powerful as the Xbox, it's about the same (give or take in certain areas).

And who said the game could run on 50 frames per second?  Are you daft?  Name one game where that's the optimal FPS number.  There are zero.  Games frames per second count are always aimed at 30 or 60.  For reference, standard (American anyway) televisions broadcast at 24.5 frames per second.

I think this is pretty much the case exactly. Valve has probably already discussed it and come to the exact same conclusion. As much as I absolutely love the Half-Life 2 series there would probably have to be something more than just the Half-Life 2 series. Probably at least the full Orange Box suite is what it would take for me to buy it...but even then I would wait until I could pick it up at a budget price.

PS - The fact that I would even consider buying the exact same game twice is telling of how good it is.
