Despite recent rumors, 343 Industries officially denies that Halo 3 is coming to PC and also says that there are no current plans to make a remastered version either.

You will have to find another game to get ripped off by.

mikeslemonade2560d ago

Lol halo 3 is overrated, I don't want that game at all much less a anniversary edition.

Mystogan2560d ago (Edited 2560d ago )

I'm actually glad they're not doing it yet.
343 needs to take a break from Halo, I want 343 to work on a new IP. And im slightly optimistic about it.

Patriot4Life2560d ago

343 was put together for the sole purpose of making Halo...the day Halo is no longer wanted by the gaming community is the day 343 will drip making Halo.

Same as Turn 10, the make For a games and love what they do.

I dont believe it! Im holding strong with my halo 3 remake prediction! Ahhhhh

Of course not, it would make 343 Halo games look terrible Since Halo 3 was the last great Halo game and was not made by 343.

EatCrow2560d ago

MCC Collection says hello.
Your comment makes no sense.

2pacalypsenow2560d ago

Yeah and they fumbled that release

EatCrow2560d ago

@2pacalypsenow

Your point is still moot.
They released them. And the campaign and co op mode was not fumbled at all.

Multiplayer was a shame but its the first game to ever try anything of the sort.

annoyedgamer2560d ago

And MCC online remains broken to this day.

vallencer2560d ago

You try having 4 games with different net codes working on one disc. They should've just released 4 disc that you could install on your Xbox and not need to use again except for the last disc or just gave you download codes. The multi-player was the problem not the single player. Halo 5s multi-player is fantastic and is still played quite a bit today.

Mystogan2560d ago (Edited 2560d ago )

Halo 5, is a great Halo game. It has the best multiplayer in the Halo series. They messed up on the campaign a little bit. But they are definitely capable of delivering good campaigns as seen in Halo 4, which has the best campaign.
Before Halo 4, for me Halo did not have a compelling story. The level design maybe was a little better(not much) in prior halo games but in terms of story Halo 4 beats any halo game before it.

annoyedgamer2560d ago

Lol halo 5 may not be bad but it is far from the best.

EatCrow2560d ago

I agree. Prefer Halo 4 story over any of the other Halo's.
And Halo 5 does indeed have the best multiplayer by far. It is awesome.

@annoyedgamer
Your name says it all.
Halo 5 has the best multiplayer ever on a halo game. But the main campaign is missing story and co op.

Allsystemgamer2560d ago

Yea that's why halo 5 is the worst selling and dedicated fans didn't even buy it. Even the "pros" don't like it.

Mystogan2560d ago (Edited 2560d ago )

Halo 5 is the worst selling only because of the Xbox One marketshare.
And its not the worst selling by much.

Some idiot of AMD's (or hired) event management staff at an obscure press release, screwed up with a Halo 3 image instead of a newly released DX12 title (which the new RX series of the Polaris GPU's use as PR material wherever possible because they currently perform better than Nvidia's Pascal lineup in both DX12 and Vulkan, until Volta arrives) in the same franchise, Halo Wars 2, and the PC community loses their collective shits, as usual.

I have been wanting Halo 3 on PC, since the day it came out on Xbox 360. That's 10 years this September. Phil Spencer has been as clear as he could be, and so are Microsoft. Previous exclusives, that date years back, are NOT coming to PC. They are only looking forward. No Halo: MCC, Halo 2 Anniversary or Halo 3 / Anniversary. Only future Halo games in the Xbox Play Anywhere program will come to Windows 10.

Let it go.

Uglyday2560d ago

How does Halo Wars Definitive from the 360 just being released on Steam fit into that?

TheVigilanteCode2559d ago

Halo Wars: Definitive Edition was already out on PC (free pre-order bonus for Halo Wars 2 on the Windows store in Windows 10) and is exactly 2 months old as of today. It is getting a standalone release, untied from Halo Wars 2's pre-order as that game is already out, and is being out on 3 storefronts - Xbox One, Windows Store on Windows 10 and Steam.

Halo Wars on the 360, which you used in your rhetoric and not even the same build as the Halo Wars: Definitive Edition, is 8 years and 2 months old and did not release on Steam, Eindows Store on Windows 10 and will not, ever be.

Halo 3's promotional render during it's launch, which was used as a mistake here at the AMD event, doesn't mean jackshit because a Halo 3 remaster was not out on the Windows Store on Windows 10, 2 months ago as a pre-order bonus to some other game, nor does a Halo 3 remaster even exist in the first place.

I repeat what Microsoft and it's employees are saying for the past 2 years regarding Halo on Windows 10. "WE LIKE TO THINK GOING FORWARD. ONLY FUTURE HALO TITLES WILL BE BUILT FOR XBOX ONE & WINDOWS 10 IN MIND."

So, "Halo Wars: Definitive Edition", which was released 2 months ago on Windows 10 as a pre-order bonus, which is noe getting a standalone release on steam/Xbox One/Windows store on Windows 10, which is a completely different build from the 360, is not the smoking gun for your portbegging of Halo 3 on PC. It will NEVER happen.

Try again.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN4h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos2h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger4h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto6h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos6h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long3h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel5h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator4h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

H91d 1h ago

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg8h ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos7h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola3h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
