Blue Shift Interview -- 12:12 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Stomped interviewed Gearbox's Randy Pitchford about their upcoming PC port of Half-Life: Blue Shift and the included high-definition pack. Here's a kibble:

Stomped: The press release stated that while the PC version of Blue Shift is a stand alone product the Half-Life HD pack will work on all Half-Life games. Can you explain this more fully?

Pitchford: Blue Shift (and the included Opposing Force in the North American version) are totally stand alone. There are some simple installation options that allow users to install or uninstall the High Definition content to any of their Half-Life games at any time including the original Half-Life (which isn't included with Blue Shift). So, in addition to the all-new game (Blue Shift) there's a lot more great Half-Life content in the package. I honestly don't know what the retailers will end up charging for the package, but I bet it will be easy to find it for less than $30 - which is a great value for the amount of stuff included.

Methinks I'll be snagging this when it hits the shelves this summer.
