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.
Get a larger new user base? What user base? At the time, more people owned X-Boxes than PC's by a factor of 0 to who knows how many. There was no user base for the X-Box version, when they switched, and the user base of the X-Box is still a LOT less than that of the PC user base.
Anyone else think the 100+MB PC trailer they put out a year ago looked a LOT more interesting than the X-Box version was?
And where did the sword the cyborg used go? Now that would have been an effective mele weapon, not that stupid pistol whip.
