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.
"There are 30 million PS2 owners and guess what? Those are the same 30 million AOL users" ... yeah, and I bet you're one of the same people that were behind Nintendo when they started screaming "Quality over quantity". Honestly, I've got a PS2 and an XBox ... let's just say that the PS2 and PC take priority.
As for HALO on the PC, the game is not "all that"; I mean the AI is sweet and the environments are lush, but with Unreal 2, Doom 3, and possibly Duke Nukem (OK, maybe not) Halo will end up being a second rate FPS by those standards.
