Halo Ports Update [Jul 12, 2002, 12:22 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Microsoft
Game Studios Announces the Development of "Halo: Combat Evolved" for
the PC and Mac is a press release with the long-awaited official update on
the status of the PC and Macintosh ports of Halo, Bungie's science fiction
shooter. Turns out the game is going from Xbox to Gearbox, as Gearbox Software
is doing the PC port, which is due Summer 2003. The Mac port is being developed
by Westlake Interactive, and is also due sometime in 2003. A skeptic might think
some hints at this had previously been revealed to the folks at MacGamer, where
they have instantaneously posted a two page article called Halo:
I Told You So graciously providing a little face-rubbing to those who said
such a port would never come. The article has quotes from Westlake Interactive
that indicate that they are shooting for a simultaneous release with the PC
version.
Uh...PS2 is not a "next generation console". Hell, it's inferior to a P2-266 Klamath with a Voodoo 2 board.
There are 30 million PS2 owners and guess what? Those are the same 30 million AOL users. That should tell you something right there. No, really.
Halo can do well next year, and will look quite good next year since it already utilizes features such as bump mapping, but it would be a mistake to sell the game on the PC platform in its current form next year.
