In addition to having worked on Halo, Half-Life, and Counter-Strike, members of the new design studio also participated in the development of Direct X technologies.

Co-founder Steve Theodore will be speaking at the Game Developers Conference on March 22 in San Jose.

Wonder if there'll be electricity in the air when they pass by Valve's booth at GDC?

Considering that Half-Life had support for OpenGL, and that Halo was originally in OpenGL until MS bought Bungie.... I find it interesting that they're supporting DirectX.

They(Giant Bite founders) made some interesting comments about the revolution controller recently. Seems like their interest is piqued.

microsoft and valve working together. could be a sweet ride on the 360. I think that with an easy firmware upgrade support for usb mouse and keyboard(which the 360 currently has) counter strike with the power of 360 would be awesome.

"BIZ: Which platforms do you intend to create games for? Do you have a preference?

HC: Every platform has its positive features. We're luckier than many studios, because we've already got hands-on familiarity with the Xbox 360, the PS3, and Windows Vista. We've also been following the Revolution closely. Our specific platform decisions will come down to what is best for a specific project."

Hmmmm, certainly sounds like they'd rather program for one instead of all three. All eyes on the revolution eh? :) Good for them.
