From DSOGaming.

As Frank OConnor, Halo 5 franchise director, said when he was asked whether Halo 5 will come to the PC (head over at 1:13:00).

You know, Microsoft has made a huge commitment trying sort of I think normalize the Windows experience across multiple platforms. You see the elements of Windows 10 are going to appear in Xbox and Cortana and stuff like that. There is plenty of chance that Halo 5 could appear on the PC. Nothing to announce at this point you know, we developed the game on an Intel platform. It wouldnt be the hardest thing in the world to move it to PC and take advantage of PC stuff. But nothing I announce today on this chat.

I doubt Microsoft will be interested in the idea though.

''Frank O'Connor'' doesn't sound like a trustworthy name...

Tagyhag · Oct 23, 2015

Sure, but will MS take that chance?

Honestly I'd prefer to have the MCC.

Rhaknar · Oct 23, 2015

Yeah in 5 years when its irrelevant im sure it will

I'd prefer to have the MCC in concept alone too. Not in execution though, because holy shit what a dropped ball that was.

VoltySquirrel · Oct 23, 2015

I mean, that doesn't mean it will. They've said the same for MCC and that still hasn't happened.

TheFurizzlyBear · Oct 23, 2015

I'm fairly sure the thread title ment to say "Stinkles"

Yeah, still waiting on Halo 3 eight years on.

Mr. Enigma · Oct 23, 2015

We've been hearing this horse shit for years. They dropped tons of hints about Master Chief Collection being on PC and...nothing.

I'll believe it when I see it at this point.

Caayn · Oct 23, 2015

If you do it, make it cross-play Stinkles! I would happely buy it again if that means that I can kick my friends ass in 4K @ 60fps.

By the way. Who's this Frank O'Connor guy the OP talks about?

Yup, who is this guy anyway? Phhh

I'll believe it when they release MCC on PC.

Why? It is similar to John Conner, they guy who will one day save us all from killer robots. Judging by name alone, this guy doesn't seem so bad. It isn't like anyone here on gaf has had any experiencing talking to the guy to find out.....right?

Crimsonclaw111 · Oct 23, 2015

Still waiting for MCC one of these days, maybe by the time I have kids and am 40.

LegalEagleMike · Oct 23, 2015

Stinkles trying to troll us.

demolitio · Oct 23, 2015

Yea...Don't get my hopes up. That would save me a lot of money and would convince PC gamers you do somewhat care about them so it's not likely to happen.

We have the F2P Halo Online coming though, so maybe they're talking about calling that Halo 5 for PC gamers...

SoundPulse · Oct 23, 2015

I would imagine MCC would come before Halo 5.

IaN_GAF · Oct 23, 2015

Dude is acting like it's some sort of natural anomaly that could occur when the right conditions are met.

This is a business decision, don't act like it's something else? "Yeah, no, it could! I'm not saying it will. But it could! Who knows! Sit perfectly still and we might even see one emerging from the woods looking for food!"

TheCongressman1 · Oct 23, 2015

I will buy it on PC.

Bornstellar · Oct 23, 2015

Can't wait that long.

Though I'd appreciate a PC release to turn up the graphics to 11.

8-Bit Sunset · Oct 23, 2015

Just joking.

Please come to Steam as well

Putty · Oct 23, 2015

I give it....6 months.

EatChildren · Oct 23, 2015

Definitely wouldn't accept it without minimum 4K resolution, tessellated everything, and the engine updated to support full real time global illumination. MINIMUM STANDARDS.

Of course it's a business decision. For the same reason that Sony exclusives don't appear on PC. They can make more by selling you a console with the game then just selling you the game.

Since the achitecture is now shared among PC and consoles, there's nothing, besides a business decision, holding devs back from putting their game on the PC.

[SPOILER]Please come to Steam as well[/SPOILER][/QUOTE]Aahh, I can already see it happening. The shame shit as Always when a PC game doesn't launch on Steam.....

MS: Today we're happy to announce that H5 will be coming to PC!
PC gamer: But will it release on Steam?
MS: No, we'll be releasing it physically and via the Windows Store.
PC gamer: See MS doesn't care about PC. Fuck off MS.

SolarPowered · Oct 23, 2015

Yeah sure

Forerunner · Oct 23, 2015

Stinkles plz

Nibel · Oct 23, 2015

Maybe in 10 years with a 5% rate of happening

kinoki · Oct 23, 2015

I've always felt that Bungie tried their best to perfect the gameplay limitations of consoles when crafting Halo (continued by i343) and that a PC-version would undermine some of those game design decision. Not that I'd say "No thanks" to a PC-port, I'd buy it and play the hell out of it.

Rizific · Oct 23, 2015

If it did, I'd double dip.

Krappadizzle · Oct 23, 2015

Dualshock 4 native support please Stinkles. And 8k dynamic resolution as well. And DX12 support, and support racing wheels for warthog controls. And gimme dat triple monitor Mission Impossible mode too while we're at it.

Halo was made for Mac initially though. And then Xbox which was essentially an off the shelf PC.

bede-x · Oct 23, 2015

I'd get it day one, but it's not really needed. The One version already runs at 60fps, which is usually what I'd consider the biggest advantage of a PC port.

iosefe · Oct 23, 2015

i'll eat my hat if Stinkles comes anywhere near this thread

Well, Halo 1 and Halo 2 are on PC and they were pretty okay ports. Halo PC was pretty rad, even. What, specifically, would be undermined? I can't really think of anything.

Tryxx · Oct 23, 2015

No chance in hell. Halo 5 and gears 4 are what will sell the most consoles not a chance in hell they will do anything to stop that from happening.

It's needed for folks like me who hate shooters on gamepads after hundreds or thousands of hours in PC shooters with mouse and keyboard.

You could do like I did and get a Xim4. Works very well.

But yes, I agree in principle.

Tinfoilhatsron · Oct 23, 2015

Yesssss. I need my PC to run its power test!

Obliterator · Oct 23, 2015

I like Frankie and know its not in his hands but the big guys at MS

Still, this will never happen, or if it does it will be years from now. Until then MS will keep telling us in all their press releases how they are "unifying" their platforms without actually doing it.

Sai-kun · Oct 23, 2015

Why would you even say this, Frankie. Just say it's not happening and don't even shine a small light of hope that it'll happen

This won't happen

You'll get a hard-capped resolution and framerate, minimal settings, native X1 controller support only, strictly locked to the Windows app store and you'll like it.

jim-jam bongs · Oct 23, 2015

I knew Stinkles before he had a regular person name.

DOT DASH DOT · Oct 23, 2015

This to me sounds like a distinct possibility, why say it? Also what better way to show this newfound PC commitment with their biggest series. A year from now I thInk it'll happen.

Never heard of the Xim4, very interesting. Even with that though, I'd need to cough up for Gold or PS+, and I don't do either.

The graphics take a huge hit in order to achieve that, however. 60fps is usually the biggest difference, of course, but there are many advantages in a potential PC port.
Besides 60fps, a wider FOV is usually the biggest advantage/necessity in PC shooter for me, for example. H5's is extremely narrow.

OrlanisWorks · Oct 23, 2015

They could do it, but they won't.

End scene.

Cassius · Oct 23, 2015

It'll come to Mac before it ever comes to PC.

There's a joke in there somewhere <_<
