Because there's no garantee that the 3DS could handle the physics which are a vital aspect of half life 2 and while a version was made for the original xbox even if the 3ds is more powerful (which it almost certainly isn't) the framerate would still probably struggle.
Not to mention if I wanted a valve game I'd rather it be original and designed for the hardware than a port of a 8 year old game.
[QUOTE="IAmNot_fun"]Man, HL2 in 3DS? The motion sickness will be like, off the chartsgameofthering
Half-life 2 is actually good in 3D. Its the only game that gave me headache. The PoV angle change helped me enough to finish the game, but idk, 3d may make my brain explode
I would think its possible. The game is from 2004 and didn't require beefy specs to run at that time.AutoPilotOn
They had to severely downgrade it just to get it onto the Xbox. There's no way it's possible, and even if it was, why would anybody want to play it on a handheld for $40 when they could get it dirt cheap on Steam (and take advantage of mods)?
It would be really cool if it did come to the 3DS, and I'm sure the 3DS could easily run it with some tweaking, the Xbox ran it back in 2004, and the 3DS is more powerful then the original Xbox for sure, there's no way the original Xbox could run the RE5 engine, and DOA looks much better on 3DS then Xbox. I don't think Valve is interested in making mobile games right now. I think its more likely we would see a mobile Portal before we see a half life ever appear on handhelds, but I think Valve is more of a home console type company, but who knows maybe eventually we'll see something, game developers are always expanding to new markets.
Nah it's a good game but pretty overrated. Plus Valve is pretty much PC only with a few console exceptions like The Orange Box and Left 4 Dead.

dude what are u talking about? every valve game can be played on something else except dota lol and I think day of defeat, but source is pretty optimized, it'd be possible on the 3ds but I doubt it would happen

Like they develop with PC in mind.

As for that 3Ds version of HL2 I don´t think so,it couldn´t even run it.
