Beating a dead horse...
Posted By: Miguel Chavez <bs@bungie.org>	Date: 10/14/01 10:27 p.m.
In Response To: Re: Yes really... (Shadowfax) : Last I heard, the last PC build (over a year old) didn't have a lot in common : with the playable Xbox version today. I have heard that in fact, the : developers had made the decision to not develop a PC version concurrently, : to focus on making the Xbox version great. So there is no way MSN could : have played with both controller and keyboard on the same game, and say : one is better than the other. I'd like to state, and I'm sure some will think it can be filed under the 'why bother?' category, that you are being presumptious just like the other fella was about what these Xbox developers can and can't do. It doesn't take alot of logic to understand that MSN and Ferrex could very well be stating exactly what they are stating: That it was possible to play xbox Halo with a keyboard. I beg you to please think a bit more before you jump the gun and state how there was 'no way' something could happen. I don't know how much clearer one can make it: - MSN and Ferrex are working on Xbox Halo - For a long time they had to work on Xbox Halo sans any finished controllers - Xbox was spec'ed to work with USB ports, modified of course. - MS is not going to make it impossible for their developers to enable some kind of I/O between machine and user's hands. - 'concurrent PC/xbox development' has nothing at all to do with keyboard/controller availability. Of course, like you state in the second half of your post, the whole thing is moot, since the real issue is just how long it takes someone to 'adjust' to whatever control mechanism is implemented, but still, I think it would behoove you to take the developers at their word.
