How about halo4 for pc?

Games Other Halo
1

Hi, I would REALLY appreciate Halo 4 on PC. At the time Halo 3 was released on Xbox 360 it was great, but today if I compare PC and Xbox graphics…It is time to release new consoles. Unfortunetly I fear Halo 4 will be only released on Xbox 360. Even a easy port would be okay, unless it is made without love. :slight_smile: I love Halo, read all books available, have all games and Halo Legends. And I am not the type of guy which only is interested in the best graphics. Hopefully there are some people out there who would like a PC Halo too. (Sorry for grammar fails^^)

regards

There is zero chance that it’ll make it onto PC, Halo is Microsoft’s most popular exclusive. EXCLUSIVE.

Ideally, every game would be on every system. Obviously Microsoft are far too greedy to ever release Halo for the PS3, but I don’t know why they don’t put all their 360 exclusives on the PC as well, if only as ports with updated graphics.

I’d love Halo 3, Reach and soon to be Halo 4 on pc. The games would play so much smoother and in full HD plus with awesome anti-aliasing as well as better graphics. If only, but for some reason ever since Halo 2 for Vista they’ve stopped making pc versions of Halo. Somewhat disappointing; considering the limitations of the near 7 year old 360 hardware. The new console is due soon I would think.

You basically summed up my beliefs right there.

And have to put up with those PC elitist? I don’t think it’s worth it.

In fairness, most PC gamers are okay. As with virtually any stereotype, the negative image is created by a small yet extremely vocal minority.

Don’t act like any other system is different. There are an abundance of “elitists” on all systems, even Xbox.

Microsoft will not port Halo 4 to the PC. The reason they did so with Halo 1 and Halo 2 was because they sold the Xbox at a loss, considerably larger than the current Xbox 360. They could try to make up for it in the PC market.

However, in this current generation, the Xbox 360 is one of their driving factors. They are trying to integrate everything into it, and forces those who want to use these features to have Xbox Live Gold. Halo 4 is a convincing factor to get an Xbox 360 and XBL Gold, whereas if it were on the PC, they wouldn’t have to get an Xbox 360.

As this generation ends, Microsoft will try to push as many sales of the Xbox 360 as possible, and also XBL Gold. Also, they will allow these memberships and games to be carried onto the next-gen console, which will be a driving factor for that console. A PC port just doesn’t make sense.

Greedy…

> Greedy…

So you think Microsoft is greedy for keeping their best selling exclusive…exclusive?

Do you not understand the point of having exclusives?

12

They would give a -Yoink- about exclusiveness if they would earn more money with all platforms instead of one, or not? I am just tiered of this very old consoles which hinder the game developement over nearly decades. Okay that was a bit hard wording, but with a bit of truth in it. I do not want to start an argument, it is just my opinion :slight_smile:

Are you forgetting Halo 2 vista being a Windows LIVE game, which basiclly used Xbox LIVE for MP, which in turn needs an Xbox LIVE gold account? Microsoft is greedy, right now, even if their exclusive game became a Xbox and PC only game, they’ll still sell get people to buy Xbox LIVE gold, and with the kenect, they’ll still get Xbox sells. Also, there aren’t as many PC elitists as you might think, I know a very few my self, one of which is just an anti console/anti Microsoft person. The others, they’re elitists for their own reasons. I see more Console Elitists than I do PC elitists. All platforms are in a way a PC, Xbox, Wii, PS3, they’re all personal computers, the only differences are what make them tick. And right now Xbox is no longer next gen, for a time, both the Xbox 360 and the PC was at the same level of graphical power, now, the PC is in the lead.

There are reasons why Microsoft doesn’t go on all platforms, some of which is pirating, something that is the cancer of PC gaming. Would I love to see Microsoft give their balls a squize and release another few Halo games on the PC, Hell yes, will it happen, maybe, none of us can really say rather or not they will. When it comes to Microsoft, even the fence sitters can be wrong.

Yeah because Sony isnt half as greedy despite trying milk companies like Naughty Dog for all it’s worth to make exclusives on it’s behalf. I’m very certain Sony will be willing to share Uncharted, THE LAST OF US, GT series, Infamous and all their other exclusives. And while we’re at it, we can convince Nintendo to bring Mario and Zelda to the xbox.
/sarcasm

Each console has an exclusive that deserves to be an exclusive. Halo and Gears are the only reasons that are keeping me an xbox fanboy. I personally dont think MS should transfer a port to the pc, especially if it’s their top exclusive. You have a better chance of them bringing Gears of War 2/3 to PC.

I don’t see it happening with Halo 4, but I would throw my money into a PC upgrade if Halo 3 came to PC. That’s assuming it has a map editor like the previous PC Halo’s.

Sharing is greedy? That’s it, I’ve heard it all now.

They have tried that before with halo 2 and gears of war, they were both failures in terms of sales and piracy doesn’t help. The point of a company is to make money, everything else is second.

Microsoft isn’t greedy

I didn’t forget about it. In fact, it’s implied I already knew about it. Windows LIVE was not only a colossal failure, it doesn’t promote the purchase of an Xbox 360. This has nothing to do with elitists, or Microsoft’s greed.

It makes perfect sense that a company is trying to sell their product; in this case, good games are exclusive to that product. Tell me why would anyone sell product A on the PC, when by restricting it to the Xbox, they can introduce users to a plethora of other features. It’s an opportunity cost - Microsoft lose sales on PC, in order to sell the Xbox and the other items it brings.

Xbox, unlike Microsoft in the OS/software world, doesn’t need to fear piracy as much as PC developers; it’s not in their domain.
