Halo reportedly being announced for PS5 this Friday |OT|

I'd be REALLY surprised if they do MCC multiplayer on PS because they stopped providing support for it on Xbox/PC, so it just wouldn't make sense, especially when they have multiple other projects.

The campaign, I could see.

I think we don't need an anouncement to know future titles will be released everywhere, but I think Halo Infinite coming to PS might increase the population by like 3 people, so that'd be nice.

Also, please bring back HALO 5 GAMEPLAY. Pistol starts was amazing and placing a BR on key points was the way to go.
 
I can't wait to see a soulless CGI trailer for a remake that doesn't need to exist of the weakest game in the original trilogy.

MCC seems like such an easy win ported over but of course Xbox would rather not

People always try to point to the fact that they stopped active development for MCC as the reason why they won't port it to PS but I think we all know that's not the reason. They could easily sell MCC without the multiplayer on PS and still sell millions of copies and that doesn't require them to restart any sort of active development outside of maybe some patches for bugs/fixes.

The real reason is that they would rather remake each game in order to sell them to us full price.

Gears Trilogy would have been an easy win too but they would rather sell us a $40 port of a 10 year old remaster of a 19 year old game. Then they can just sell us two more $40 or $60 remasters of Gears 2 and 3 in a couple years. PROFT MARGINS

I know, I know, EXTREMELY controversial, but in terms of high level competitive games, it was so much better.

Playing Champ level games in Hardcore with Pistol starts just felt so good. It reignited that fun I had back in Halo 3 even though that was BR starts.

I have been saying this for months, nobody listens to me. I'd be shocked if they ported MCC.

Microsoft doesn't want to support MCC anymore, in fact I bet they wished they could have washed their hands of it years ago. It's old, it's legacy, it if anything has too much content and too much value, and most importantly, they don't want people playing these old games forever, they want them on the new thing. If they just ported the campaigns people would complain, it's just not worth the hassle.

Knowing Microsoft- they would probably milk us for each individual game at this point via remasters/remakes.
I mean, id buy em - but a collection that was a pain in the ass for them is probably something they wish to forget about.

Nothing stopping them from restarting development once new revenue streams open up. If MCC comes to PS5, it's almost a lock for Switch 2 as well.

I mean, they launched MCC broken on Xbox One and didn't bother fixing it until Infinite was about to come out.

Makes no sense because everything done in MCC was a test run for Infinite. Everything from character model selection, different armour parts, colours, and what not. Also, they only had maybe around 5 people in total who would just provide support for the game, not actually develop stuff for it. They were then moved onto Infinte after MCC support was dropped.

Yeah, the whole collection thing was just too much for them.

I get it from a gamers perspective, it's bloody awesome to have ALL those games in one, but from a technical perspective, it was literal hell for them.

The game was broken for like 50% of it's lifetime.

True. It took about 5 years to get it fixed reletively good, but by then it lost like 98% of the player base.

The only thing that makes sense is the campaign, which I hope they do release on PS and Switch.

MCC matchmaking was fixed well before Infinite launch.

As someone from the EU, I can safely tell you, no it wasn't.

EU players could barely match other EU players and sometimes the search could take around 30 minutes or even longer.

I couldn't even match US players without having a US player in my lobby. It was stupid.

It was much closer to Infinite's launch than its own launch. It was apparent they just didn't care about it until suddenly realizing t was bad for Infinite's marketing. How else do you wait that many years and then coincidentally...
 
What channel is this reveal supposed to be happening on? There's some Halo championship shite streaming at the moment but it's fucking unwatchable, the Biggie Smalls from Wish is unbearable. Is that a trans man yelling into the mic?

Main Xbox twitch will have it. Possibly the Halo twitch too when it's time.
