Just maps and models and sounds, assets, is all I can see this being able to import right now. What would be cool is to figure out how half life 2 runs and then implement Garrys mod 9 over it. That's the last free one.

Half-Life 2: Episode 2 confirmed
http://shield.nvidia.com/games/android/hl2ep2
But, it says that it's available only for Shield Console. So there is a question — will it work on Shield Portable and/or NST?

As it is today, HL2:ep2 will not run on Shield Portables. It's always required a graphics capability only found in TK1 & TX1, not T4.
Maybe someday it'll get ported to T4 but I wouldn't hold my breath. At $199 the TX1 equipped Shield Android TV (aka Shield Console) is within the reach of many die-hard Portable users. Myself included.
But Episode 1 works on the Portable. It's not installable from the play store (without tricks), but it works.
Any progress on the console yet? Also, I noticed a VR mode command in the config file. Is this just a left over from porting or is there a way to enable the feature? I've installed the game on my Note 4 and it runs great using GLTools. Would love to see it in VR with my Gear VR!
Bah! Too bad. When I saw it I started to get excited! Oh well, maybe someone will make it work via a method like TriDef. Here's hoping!
Alas I still would at least like to use the console. It must be locked pretty deep if no one has figured it out yet.
Yeah. It's pretty safe to say that we won't unlock the console anytime soon. We didn't even know the console showed up in-game until I came along.
I wonder why they went to such lengths to block use of the console. It must be because of the exclusivity with nVidia. I can't think of anything else.

I think it should work on Shield Portable. Сan't check because my shield has not rooted, but I tried it on Rooted Shield Tablet. I just replaced the folder with the files and it works
. Also I changed the sound files to Russian. So you can change the sound in the game.

Hi, i have bought nvidia shield tablet after shield portable. Now i want to change language to spanish in half life 2 episode one like half life 2 and portal but it doesnt work. I made all the process but now i have spanish subtitles but not spanish voices.
I dont understand the last post because i think its only to play episode two and change language in this episode. Anybody can confirm me which files need i change from steam to android in episode one?
Thanks

Anything on black mesa port or any other ports, no new games for android have been that entertaining, to be honest.
Oh my god. I've only recently got myself Half-Life 2 and it's one of the best games i've ever played, so now that i found out, that there are actually a few modding options, i'm excited as all hell^^.
Well...but i read you guys didn't have any luck porting Black Mesa so far...any update on that though maybe? I was gonna try it myself with the guide, but now that i read this...ugh, i sooo want it^^. I'm curious though, what is the issue that you've guys ran into?

It requires a modified engine, which is just physically not possible (for us, at least. The guys at NVIDIA would have no issue). It works without the modified engine, but no NPCs appear, which doesn't exactly make something "playable".
Thanks for replying to my admittedly a little overexcited post^^. Well that's sad. By the way - Half Life 2: Episode 2 got released today, for Shield devices. Not sure if that engine is different. I think not, since you were able to run that through Episode 1 already. Maybe it makes a few other mods playable though. I'm totally going to play it.
I was thinking....if one developed a mod from scratch, aimed towards running with Half Life 2 on Android (in other words, i would love to do that), what would i have to look out for, in order to have everything working? Or let's put it this way: Do you have an idea what hinders the NPCs from showing up?
I would love to get into a bit of game development as a side project. And right now, i'm thinking i'll either go with Unity or do something based on the Source Engine, that could run on Android. Not sure if this sparks hate from some, since i'm just another noob, getting excited about maybe having made his own game at some point, but, it's interesting^^.
Is anyone working on this? The new nvidia shield android tv sure will be powerful enough, it can even run crysis 3!
No.
You clearly don't understand the issue, it's not that the shield tablet can't run these games it's that we don't have the resources to make the packages. So it doesn't matter what version of crysis it supports if it isn't being released.
And the engine of half life 2 episode two is too old as well?
Yes. Half life 2 episode 1 and 2, portal, tf2,csgo are all on the same engine. There was a small update but it's not eyes stopped us
