More Evidence of Halo 3 PC Surfaces

The Halo 3 PC mystery has just gotten a little deeper. After Halo 3 (and its predecessors) turned up in the Steam registry, PC gamers were ready to jump at the chance to play some of the best rated FPS titles on their rigs. Microsoft shot down the idea, specifically saying that it wasn't going to happen. So why is there an entry for Halo 3 in the latest AMD beta drivers?

As much as id like for it to be true, i just don't think its going to happen. I could possibly see it happening when the new console launches. For all we know there might be another reason why its called Halo3.exe in the beta drivers and have nothing to do with the game.

matgrowcott4050d ago

That's a possibility, of course. The fact that Halo 1-3 turned up in the Steam registry a mere two weeks before the phrase Halo3 turned up in the beta drivers is intriguing, but not 100% proof of anything.

At the very least, there's something very interesting happening. For both AMD and whoever handled that Steam registry to fall for it, this is more than just some random trick.

Pc gamers are not 12 year old console gamers and dont give a shit what IGN "amazing" has said. No one is jumping because no one cares.

matgrowcott4050d ago

Halo 3 on PC would sell well, especially given that a lot of people who bought consoles at the beginning of this gen may well have bought a PC in the mean time. A digital title needs only to sell a couple hundred thousand units and its even, and given that Halo 3 is already in the pure-profit zone, there's no real reason not to do it if they suddenly want to.

Oh, unless of course you're right and literally nobody who owns a PC cares. We both know that's not true though.

aliengmr4050d ago

If this were true, which I highly doubt, it would be rather insulting at this point.

Seeing as how MS is just naturally close to PC gaming with Windows, this could have been done long ago. You know, when we cared.

Its really strange how completely inept MS is at supporting PC gaming. When GFWL has issues with Win 8, its probably better to just stop trying.

Since it was AMD drivers my guess is it has something to do with the 720.

matgrowcott4050d ago

There is absolutely no reason AMD beta drivers for PC would have data needed for 720. Microsoft/Sony will be handling their own firmware; we're not all of a sudden going to be seeing console profiles in Catalyst.

aliengmr4050d ago

Well seeing as how MS said it wasn't true, I guess AMD just decided to make a profile for no reason at all.

ExCest4050d ago

GFWL had issues all the time!

aliengmr4050d ago

And it flat out wouldn't work with MS's own Windows 8. Pretty sad when your own service requires a work-around to run in your own OS.

baraka0074050d ago

my microsoft mouse and keyboard doesn't like windows 7 works fine on my ps3 though isn't that crazy?

DeadlyFire4049d ago

Windows 8/9 Halo 3 anniversary edition Xbox 720/PC 2015 with Cross platform play on Xbox Live.

kevnb4050d ago

It's way too late to matter. Maybe halo 4 might actually sell a few copies.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii100d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies100d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer138d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog138d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned138d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c138d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb137d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72137d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman138d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows137d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72149d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai149d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ149d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil149d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
