Halo PC Goes Gold, Producer Quizzed
Scorpion_1169 writes "According to Bungie.org, Microsoft/Gearbox's long-awaited version of Halo for the PC has gone gold, and is scheduled to hit store shelves on September 30th." There's also an interview with Bungie producer Michel Bastien over at Bungie.net, answering questions such as who might have leaked a Beta version of Halo online ("Nah, we don't know who it was. It really sucks because this build was not the most glorious build we've put together"), and the existence of easter eggs ("Like the Xbox game, you want to play through 'The Maw' on Legendary. We've got a couple of well-kept surprises, which, hopefully, we can roll out in the future...")
Why did Microsoft force Bungie to sit on the PC release for so long? I'm surprised they didn't wait until Halo 2 had been out for a while, just to make this release even more pointless.
It was pretty sad. I watched my PC gamer buddy, who was a huge fan of Marathon back when he had a Mac, follow Halo from the time it was announced. When it looked like it was going to be a Mac game, he thought about getting a new Mac. And when Microsoft did the money thing and made it an X-Box exclusive... guess who shelled out for the console and just one game?
Shame on MS for taking advantage of my poor fanboy friend like that.
no thanks
