Re: why WOULDN'T Halo 2 xbox be bungie's next proj

In Response To: Re: why WOULDN'T Halo 2 xbox be bungie's next proj (Louis Wu) : I don't think ANYONE is suggesting that Halo 2 wouldn't be a money maker (it : would be), or that Bungie has categorically denied that they'll make it : (they haven't). My original comment in this thread was directly aimed at : the "which is already being worked on" comment in the PC Zone : article. I would be surprised to find that this is true. A. They stand to make tons more from the Xbox than PC's .. many many articles about the demise of the PC market. Also, Many over companies have already switched over to the console market because of the rampant piracy that exists in the PC market (you have no idea how developers feel to see their hard work being stolen). B. Consoles are easier to develop for. One piece of hardware .. not 100 different video cards, sound cards, OS's, processor differences, etc. C. M$ owns bungie ... Why would bungie develop for another platform first? even if its the PC market? Times are hard, its also hard to find talent and even when you do .. money constraints ruin many of the groups available, so bungie probably likes that they have the money backing from the big M$ (and they probably hate M$ as a company as well). D. Consoles are FAR more visable than PC's. You make a good console game ... and watch the reviews fly. You make a good PC game ... and you get little thunder. E. Developing for the Xbox, Bungie can actually see their ideas come to life, the way they want to and as they become more familiar w/ the hardware .. they can do even more. Developing for the PC, you have to worry about whats the standard and see if you can do the same things you wouldn't have to worry about for a console. Do you support online 56k? only Broadband? Nvidia has a nice GPU ... but does everyone on a PC have a Nvidia GPU? 5.1 sound? .. and you begin to see the picture.
