In Response To: KP smash (KP)


: While Halo 2 Vista does utilize Live Anywhere , enabling cool things like
: achievements, the cross-platform capabilities of the games do not extend
: beyond the ability to send messages between the two. As someone playing
: H2V, you will not be able to play against opponents on H2X or vice versa.

: As for Halo 3 being cross-platform, we currently have no plans to bring Halo
: 3 to any platform but the Xbox 360. That said, even if it did eventually
: happen, it'd still be difficult to achieve because the two will not have
: been developed simultaneously.

KP's post has me thinking. I know that Gears of War has been rumoured for PC but as far as I know it's still not confirmed. So apart from Shadowrun and one other game I can't remember the name of how many and what sort of games will be cross-platform? MS like to hang on to killer apps like Halo and Gears to get people to invest in 360s. H3 and Gears might eventually come out for PC and be cross-platform but it wouldn't be as good as a simultaneous release.
