Re: Silence is golden; future of PC Halo? (long)

In Response To: Silence is golden; future of PC Halo? (long) (Zaruthustran) : Theory and speculation: The PC division of Sony Entertainment is working on a : massively multiplayer sci-fi fps. Hmmmmm... what other game (made by a : rival of Sony) would make a terrific PC massively multiplayer sci-fi fps? : In other words, I doubt that Bungie's PC Halo will be very similar in core : gameplay to Xbox Halo. : MS is well aware of the $$$ to be found in massively mutliplayer games. : Asheron's Call is doing well, but EverQuest and Dark Age of Camelot are : far better and more successful. MS has failed to create the #1 massively : multiplayer fantasy game, but the #1 spot for massively multiplayer sci-fi : game is up for grabs. The competition is Anarchy Online (an RPG, not a : FPS), Tribes 2 (not really massively multiplayer), an old and boring game : called 10six, and... well, not much else. Sony's racing to market with : their online shooter, and I bet MS is thinking about throwing their golden : Halo brand into that arena. : So, that's why I think that even though (as one poster already noted) PC Halo : was nearly completed, Bungie still has a long way to go before PC Halo can : be worked on or even announced. Bungie is working on Halo 2 for Xbox, and : PC Halo is back on the drawing board--as a MMOFPS. Did I hear someone vaguely mention PlanetSide? I don't think a Halo MMOFPS could top it, from the way it's looking so far. I closely follow the development of PlanetSide, and it's looking very nice, and it will certainly be released before Halo 2 could come out as a MMOFPS. PlanetSide will be a great game, IMHO. I don't think the next version of Halo (if/when it springs into existence) will not be MMOFPS. I expect another solid, entertaining console and PC FPS chock full of new content but similar in gameplay to Halo. -this from a rabid Halo and PlanetSide fan
