Halo PC Goes Gold, Producer Quizzed

Posted by simoniker on from the round-glowing-feeling-in-stomach dept.

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...")

  1. This is the world of Mac gaming.. by Dutchmaan · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Being a former mac gamer, this is exactly what PC game developers did to the mac platform... and I don't need to tell you the state of mac gaming these days in respect to the number of titles available.

    It isn't all that surprising to me that Halo PC has been released roughly three? years after the Xbox version was released, when Halo2 is almost done for XBox.

    While MS isn't really trying to kill of PC gaming, it's surely depriving it of a good dose of oxygen..as far as MS game titles are concerned.

    I'm not fearing for PC gaming yet, but it seems that there is more pressure to switch to a console these days..

    This post is of course IMHO.
