Subject: [RUMOR] Xbox360 games coming to Windows?

According to some rumors, Xbox360 games might come to the PC. But probably not as we, as PC gamers, wanted them to come. Xbox360 games would be available only for Windows 8 and Live would be with fee.

This sounds so unrealisitic and really far fetched. Imagine the level of emulation required. So far, many experianced programers have flopped when trying to make a 360 emulator for PC, and Microsoft have never been good at anything except monopolisation.

Also, I don't want to be stuck with a (con)troller please and thank you. And what's up with another blood saping fee? No one is going to pay it if less than 50 people are playing that certain game on PC!

The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.

Microsoft is great at coming up with schemes to sell their operating systems, not quite as good at making quality games or quality software to run those games (GFWL).

The more silly stuff that M$ does, the stronger Valve will get with their excellent Steam service.

Maybe M$ should focus on making more MP3 players and smartphones that nobody wants.

Yeah, let's emulate a quad core processor based system. Not gonna be difficult or anything.

I actually don't mind if this turns out to be true. We get Halo 3 for the PC (hopefully), and with any luck we won't need a GTX 590 for it.

I highly doubt we would need anything near a high performance card to play 360 games... Unless Microsoft really -blam!-s the system up

*Looks over at Halo 2 Vista*

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

Doubt this will happen, Windows 8 being optimised for tablet use and Arm processor isn't it? Along with the Xbox consoles being their main selling point in gaming, I doubt this rumour is true.

However, they are merging GFW marketplace into xbox.com...hmm

My God its real.... Who's ready to sit back and laugh while all these 360 games are shown to run like -blam!- vs the PC alternatives? This has always been the case, of course, but not in such a clear form.

Laugh all you want, Halo 3 PC is closer than we thought.

Why would I even care for Halo 3 PC anymore? I can easily play Reach on my slim... unless I get Reach or better on PC I'm not paying up.

Well, I would think a lot of people want it, based on the 48 page-long thread on this forum. Also, we would finally have the full trilogy on the PC. If Halo 3 PC were to be announced, I might even buy H2V...

I'm too lazy to check, but I can easily say that thread is over two years old and by now most of us have given up in Halo 3 PC. At any rate, you don't want to purchase H2V.

It's not Halo 3 PC, though. The only positive out of having the 360 version on my PC would be for the kb/m, (which would be great by its self) but that's not the only reason I want a PC version of the Halo games. I want them for mod accessibility, I want them for Dedicated Servers, I want them for all the things that make them PC games over console games. If this ends up happening there is no longer any reason what so ever for Microsoft to make any future Halos PC games which would be terrible in my opinion. If you thought Halo 2 Vista was bad you're going to vomit at the site of this.

This is good news, well, generally. Just as long as M$ gives PC gamers what they want (Editing Kits, SDK's, Dedicated Servers, etc.) Otherwise it will just be another failure. And judging by the fact they haven't done multilayer games justice even after 4 years, chances are this new service will go down the road of GFWL.


Edit: Actually this assures us that Halo CEA, and Halo 4, 5, & 6 will come to PC but in such a way that we will either like or despise.

If they mess this up, then I'm pirating all windows products for the rest of my life. End of story.

The rumor is that you'll be able to play Xbox 360 games on your PC. If that rumor is true, it is simply emulation. That means no dedicated servers and no SDKs. It's not like your old Halo 3 disk will magically be able to install its data onto your computer and be compatible with a map editor. Simply put, it will be what you have on your 360 on your PC, end of story.

Map editors already exist for Halo 3. But not the kind we want :(
