America's Army, Far Cry, Unreal Tournament 2004, rumored 64 bit Half Life 2, DOOM 3 & Age of Mythology.

FiringSquad: What kind of development support have you received from AMD so far? Do you feel AMD is actively supporting the game development community with its 64-bit launch?

Yeah, AMD is really standing behind the platform, not just providing early hardware, but also assuring that all of the development tools and OS components are in place and available to developers.

\"64-bits, in contrast, is a one-time cost and is fairly simple to take advantage of. It's a huge win for tools as it not only gets more work done per instruction, but it also gets us past the current memory limitations, which are a problem for us today on tools.\"

Great.

I am doing the same thing. I cannot stress how Intel will overcome the great bottleneck with there Dual Core CPU's fighting for the one FSB? :guh:

Yes, months later after I said that Valve & AMD will release a 64-Bit version, it is finally out ;)

- Yes, this is wild. I played FarCry 32-bit & 64-bit. I think the 64-Bit was way better IMO. Now Half-Life 2? This is well worth the play

Can anybody get the download though?

64-Bit Half-Life? 2 and Lost Coast?

Was it automatically updated for 64-bit users?  Because I don't see it anywhere in Steam.

Steam automatically detects whether or not it's running in a 32-bit or 64-bit environment. If you running Windows XP x64 edition, it'll automatically start the 64-bit port of Half-Life 2.

I like to see developers and more programs moving to the 64-bit platform, though Half-Life 2 is a prime example that puts away the notion that 64-bit results in any kind of drastic performance increase, a preliminary review of the game showed that it lost performance by going 64-bit.

Once again, though, the merits of more programs moving to 64-bit far outweighs any meager performance detractions.
