It uses the GoldSrc engine which is a highly modified Quake engine this engine went on to be used by Counter Strike and other third-party games such as Gunman Chronicles and James Bond 007: Nightfire. While it’s still an early release, it’s still great since you can play the famous original Half-Life on your PSVita! Half-Life 1 is a game released in 1998 for Windows PCs and some game consoles such as the PS 2 by Valve.

Saving and auto-saving takes a while and your game will seem to freeze so don’t force quit the game!.

The game seems to render at 960×544 so it looks exceptionally good-looking!.

The frame rate fluctuates between 20-60 FPS all the time but it’s still perfectly playable in my opinion!.

Mods currently don’t work but you should able to use custom maps.

It is a test release so you’ll encounter bugs, glitches and issues!.

Sound is a tad flaky and people sound a tad off but not too bad.

This engine is an open-source Gold Source (GoldSrc) engine written from scratch but it still manages to manages to be compatible with many GoldSrc games and mods! Games that run with the engine are the original Half-Life, Counter Strike and other Half-Life 1 based games including mods and fan remakes.Ĭurrently, the PSVita port of the engine is at this stage: VitaXash3D is a port of the Xash3D FWGS engine for the PSVita/PSTV.

You can now play Half-Life 1 on your PSVita! At this rate, the Vita will become the go-to console for good shooters 😉
