أسئلة وأجوبة للعبة المنتظرة Half-Life 2: Episode Two
مقابلة مع Erik Johnson

GS: It's been reported that Episode Two will be longer than Episode One. Could you elaborate on that? Will it be approximately as long as Half-Life 2? Slightly shorter?


EJ: Our play tests of Episode Two are running closer to eight hours, where Episode One was taking around six. If you take a look at the statistics we compiled from people who actually played through Episode One, it looks like the average completion time ran around five hours, 41 minutes

GS: Will vehicles return in this episode? Half-Life 2 featured the dune buggy and the air boat, but Episode One took place entirely on foot. Will either of those vehicles return, or is there something new to look forward to?

EJ: There will be a new vehicle in Episode Two. The buggy from Half-Life 2 was built by a group of rebels that was clearly skilled at welding together a tube frame but was a bit lacking in the horsepower department. In this episode you'll be driving a car built by someone with a lot of knowledge of older American hot rods.

GS: What can you tell us of the major characters, such as Alyx, Dog, and the G-Man? What are they up to? And will we meet any major new characters in Episode Two?

EJ: Most of the characters will be back in Episode Two, including the G-Man. Since the Vortigaunts stepped in at the start of Episode One and pulled you out of the G-Man's control, he'll be coming back to enlighten Gordon on a number of events and give you some insight into his line of thinking. There will be some new additions to the cast in Episode Two, as well.

GS: Computing power has increased substantially since Half-Life 2. PCs now have dual-core CPUs, and the Xbox 360 and PS3 are powerful multicore systems. Will Episode Two support multicore CPUs for better physics or AI?

EJ: We've built a system for dealing with multiple cores and threading called hybrid threading. As opposed to using coarse- or fine-grained threading, we take the approach of building a system into the engine that makes the right decisions about how to deal with multiple cores on the CPU.
In Episode Two this will translate in a number of ways, benefiting not only systems that were traditionally CPU based, such as artificial intelligence and physics, but also systems that are on the graphics side. We went with this approach because it scales well over time. Desktop processors are going to have more cores over time for us to take advantage of, so we took the route that requires more work up-front so we can keep pace with our customers' hardware as we move from dual core to quad core and beyond.

GS: Finally, when can we expect Episode Two to ship, and will it ship on all three platforms simultaneously?

EJ: We're looking to ship in the fall of this year, on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 simultaneously.

ملخص المقابلة على أنه اللعبة مدتها أطول من جزء السابق أوبسد ون بتقريباً 8 ساعات وبمكانك أنهاء اللعبه من أول مره بسبيد رن بخمس ساعات تقريباً ولكنها أطول الجزء الأول.

وأيضاً أحتواء مركبات جديده مع وجود الbuggy المركبة المعروفه في هاف لايف 2 .
والقصة سوف تكون تكملة من بعد أحداث الجزء الأول في المدينة 17 وجود أحداث جديده وغامضة بين فريمان والرجل المجهول جي-مان.

أما من ناحية التطوير في المحرك تم تطوير فيه الذكاء الصناعي والعوامل الفزيائيه بشكل ملحوظ وأفضل ولكن الجرافيكس لن يختلف عن الجزء السابق وأستخدام المعالج المتعدد(ثنائي الذرة أو رباعي الذرة) في المحرك ولا يوجد أي معلومات على انه اللعبه سوف تستخدم الدايركت أكس 10 .

واللعبة سوف تكون على البلاي ستيشن3 والأكس بوكس 360 والبي سي.
