No Blue-Shift For The PC
Half-Life single player add-on for the Dreamcast Blue Shift will not be released on the PC until well after the Sega version ships, and then only if it is successful. Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford updated his .plan with the bad news in response to a petition from Half-Life players urging his company to release the game on other platforms.
It’s possible that it could eventually appear on other platforms (like the PC) should it be successful, [but] porting Blue Shift to other platforms cannot be considered until after the Dreamcast version ships. (And, yes, we’ve seen the petition)
Blue Shift is the third official single player game in the Half-Life universe, after Half-Life and Opposing Force. The 27 level add-on is about one third the size of the original game and will contain new models with twice the polygons of original models, and all new texturing and animation. The game will focus on the role of a security guard called Barney. The project has been in development for one year.
