Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo: The Master Chief Collection PC Listing Appears

Given how dicey they have been answering questions about a PC version, I think it's more a question of when rather than if it's coming.

That's how it seems to me right now IMO. Would be nice if it did come for all those non-Xbox owners!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

What people always seem to forget is that most people don't care if there is also a PC version of a game. CoD players never said that they don't need a console because CoD is on PC and people even argue about how they buy a PS4 over an Xbox One because multiplat games like Battlefield have more pixels on PS4 but hey, if a game would be only on one console and PC, this console would be totally useless  from one to the next moment.

Riiiiight, but mostly for those who wouldn't buy an Xbox even if the games wouldn't be on PC. The "normal" console gamer won't stop to play games like Halo with friends on consoles if the games are on PC.

Your point? All of them published by Microsoft Game Studios for PC in the last 2 years, it doesn't matter if they are mediocre or great. Alan Wake is old? So are Halo 1 - 3, and even Halo 4 is 2 years old in November.

Which 360 exclusives aren't old or "mediocre at best" at this point? The most great 360 exclusives are old, the most newer 360 exclusives aren't that great.

My point is that PC is an afterthought at best for Microsoft. They don't make games for PC, they port them from 360 or the One. Even Sony gives more support to PC with games like Planetside 2. 

A couple of mediocre games change nothing. The heavy-hitting titles are kept exclusive for Xbox, but it wasn't always that way. There was a time where you could purchase Halo and Gears of War on PC. That time has passed.

But what's different with porting a Halo 1 - 4 Collection to PC? They would be an afterthought, too. The newest of them is now almost 21 months old.

Alan Wake PC was also released 21 months after the 360-version.

Because the MCC is MUCH more appealing than Alan Wake could ever hope to be. Microsoft has not released a big AAA game in years, let alone four main games out of their biggest franchise at once. I doubt it happens any time soon, if at all.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

If Halo comes to PC, Xbox One is officially worthless.

So, that means  games like Sunset Overdrive and Scalebound don't exist anymore?

EDIT: Also, this listing doesn't necessary mean that Halo 5 will also come out for PC..


He is right. He mentioned "if". That "if" makes his comment precise.


There is no "if." Halo is already on PC.

lol no.

That's all MS, and Xbox fans need is for the #1 system seller IP to be available somewhere else, and PS fans saying "Halo isn't exclusive anymore" and "Ill just get it on PC". I can just imagine people telling me to take Halo off Xbox lists......(shivers).



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

It's not like this is the first time the franchise has made it's way to PC. Just as half the Fable games have made their way over. At the very least the games will be timed exclusive, I wouldn't expect the port to show up for at least 6 months later. And by then it really won't matter in terms of pushing hardware and silly list wars.

Well last time was Halo 2 in 2007 (?). After that MS seems to get the message that mainline Halo games are better off exclusive. If this is timed exclusive, i'd give it a year, until Halo 5 comes out. That way whoever would buy it for X1, has allready done so. They are all old games after all, that have allready sold plenty 360's in their own rights. Nm, I am ok with this one. It isn't like Halo 5 is going to PC.

That's certainly subjective, though. I'd rather take Alan Wake over Halo any day of the week.



I really want to try this series and already have enough reasons to use my gaming PC over my XB1, this and Sunset are changing that so I'm getting this on XB1 anyway.

If by better off exclusive you mean sold like shit because it was a several year old port exclusive to a new OS that no one wanted with multiplayer locked behind XBL gold which no one on PC was willing to pay for (which they quickly gave up on) then sure. Of course there is entirely new management now so none of that matters. The new management seems to be paying lip service at least to being serious about investing in PC gaming. Which tho MS have said the same thing every couple years since the Xbox was announced, the current management does seem to be making some small steps. This coming over plus that " AAA strategy game in a well-loved franchise" they were hiering for would be a good sign that Phil isn't a lier like his predecesors and I think they could use all the good PR they can get right now. PC gamers can be a disproportiantly vocal bunch and getting them onside can help generate positive word of mouth that would help their brand more than having the games available on PC hurts them IMO. A lot of the leading youtube and twitch personalities are primarily PC gamers after all.

I doubt they would port Halo 5 any time soon tho. I would guess they would leave that until at least 6 months after all the DLC is out if ever.
