HALO 2 Anche per MacOS INTEL

Quote:
April 2006 – Apple Inc and MacSoft today announced development of a Mac version of Bungie’s hit Xbox game, “Halo 2”. “Halo 2,” the award-winning sci-fi sequel to the instant classic "Halo: Combat Evolved" is make its Mac debut on the OS® X Tiger platform this fall.

“Halo 2,” the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of Xbox gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto Mac’s for OS® X Tiger exclusively running Intel microprocessors . “Halo 2” for Mac OS® X Tiger will be developed by a dedicated MacSoft Game Studios team in partnership with Bungie Studios.

“Our goal is to provide our customers with the best personal computers in the world, and looking ahead Intel has the strongest processor roadmap by far,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “It’s been ten years since our transition to the PowerPC, and we think Bungie’s Halo franchise will help us create the best personal computers and portable music devices for the next ten years.”

Coming to Windows Vista and Mac OS® X Tiger, “Halo 2” will offer gamers the single-player campaign and multiplayer experience of the original with connected gameplay between both platforms through a PC version of XBOX Live. Gamers will also have the exciting opportunity to build, create and customize their own multiplayer levels using our Pixar RenderMax Tools ($9,999).

"Halo: Combat Evolved" and its sequel, "Halo 2," have achieved phenomenal success on the Xbox video game platform as gamers around the world follow the saga of Master Chief in his battle against the Covenant forces. In 2003, the original "Halo" roared onto Mac and Windows PCs. In “Halo 2” for Mac OS® X Tiger and Windows Vista, the action picks up where the first game ended. Master Chief, with the help of a small group of marines, has destroyed the religious artifact and artificial world known as "Halo," and is making his way back to Earth. There, he and the last surviving Earth forces will mount a titanic struggle against the marauding Covenant enemy. To date, the Halo franchise has sold more than 14.5 million games worldwide with over 600 million hours of multiplayer action logged across Microsoft's Xbox Live online gaming service.

Aggiornamento:
LA NOTIZIA E' STATA SMENTITA, SEMBRA CHE FOSSE UN PESCE D'APRILE...

Il prossimo Halo arriverà anche su PC?

Gli studi Bungie cercano personale per lo sviluppo di nuovi titoli, diretti anche ai formati Windows.


Gli ultimi annunci lavorativi presentati da Bungie riconfermano l'interessamento (da parte di questi studi) alla piattaforma PC, oltre che alle console Microsoft (l'Xbox 360).

Lo studio statunitense rende noto, infatti, che è alla ricerca di personale da assegnare a nuovi progetti di alto profilo per Xbox360 e PC, anche legati alla serie Halo (citata espressamente da Bungie nell'annuncio). Ovviamente, tutto questo ha rilanciato le indiscrezioni sul sempre atteso Halo 3, che potrebbe arrivare anche su PC dopo la prima versione per console (come si è visto per gli episodi precedenti). I primi dettagli ufficiali sul gioco dovrebbero finalmente apparire durante la fiera E3 di Los Angeles, il mese prossimo.

Mi pare anche giusto,visto che ormai tutti i titoli che erano esclusva PC escono anche per Xbox360.
Allora se ormai anche con l'avvento della PS3 non dovrebbe esistere piu l'esclusiva per una piattaforma o per l'altra,Halo 3 deve uscire anche per PC e magari piu in la anche per PS3

[Gyppi FX™]

ehm... questa notizia è vecchia di mesi, risale a prima che annunciassero ufficialmente halo 2 per pc. è per quel gioco che cercavano personale

[NoSf3rA†U]

Bahh!!! La News è di oggi e poi mica noi PCisti siamo aggiornati delle faccende scaprose e truffaldine della Console...io metto la news poi per quando riguarda un possibile Halo 3 per PC non ne sento il bisogno assolutamente!!!

potevi risparmiartelo

[four-two]

Domani ha Liepzig verrà presentata una versione giocabile di Halo 2 su PC, vedremmo se si tratterà della solita conversione o se avranno migliorato qualche cosa...

[Gyppi FX™]

domani verrà presentata la più recente versione, giocabile ma non ancora completa

le migliorie a sentire Matt Priestley ci sono, anche se non marcatissime in confronto a Halo2 Xbox, personalmente credo che non avranno nemmeno un altissimo frame frame rate, di fatto lavorano su un beta di windows vista compilata in debug.

questo è l'articolo completo ed originale con tutte le novità e le informazioni sull'attuale punto di sviluppo



---------------------------------------- ----
Halo 2 Vista sighted!

Hi there, my name’s Matt Priestley. I’m the new producer for H2V, just hired out of the Xbox 360 group. Since it’s a Bungie tradition to give raw recruits full access to the company website, I got “volunteered” to do a writeup of our progress on Halo 2 for Windows Vista. Apparently Frank was busy washing his hair? Seems more like he'd just polish it. It was all a little vague.

Anyways, we were out in the woods with a camera looking for Sasquatch – and in Washington State, they're like raccoons – but found Halo 2 Vista instead. It’s been a while since we’ve talked publicly about our Windows version of the game, and you’re no doubt eager to hear how things are going.

The H2V team (yep, sorry - another acronym to absorb) has a progress review and demo every five weeks, and we figured that giving you a look at the game as it stands today, was better than writing a three-volume history of everything you’ve missed till now.

First off, the big news is that Halo 2 for Vista is making its public debut at the Leipzig Games Convention on August 24th through 27th. Those of you lucky enough to live in Germany will get a chance to play against each other in a pair of multiplayer maps we picked out for the show. Several of our key team members will also be present, struggling to explain keyboards layouts to German speakers using a combination of grunts, gestures and umlauts. Oh, and I don’t want to get you North American gamers too excited, but we’re looking at a possible US show in the near future. That’s Top Secret for now.

As I was saying, last Friday was the most recent project review for Halo 2 on Vista. The dev team breaks its work into five-week milestones called Sprints. They’re just now wrapping up Sprint 5 and heading into Sprint 6. As a newbie, this was my first time attending a so-called Sprint Review, so naturally I cowered in awe when they switched on their nice fat Samsung HDTV and Halo 2 blazed forth in 1920x1200 resolution and 5.1 sound.

Audio & Video

We had a number of visual improvements in Sprint 5, and the game’s starting to showcase the power of the PC platform. Lighting in particular has real richness now, with dark-black blacks and overbrightness effects that make you want to stop and stare at the walls in Ivory Tower. Bump mapped detail textures were implemented in this Sprint too, giving maps like Lockout a suitably gritty feel.

Thanks to the oodles of memory available on a typical PC (compared to the prodigious, but now five-plus year old Xbox 1), we’ve been able to suspend some of the usual in-game rules about the resolution of textures. The first-person weapon models have been retouched from the Xbox source art, and are now IMO the juiciest part of the game. Halo 2 Vista also maintains its highest level of texture detail – a.k.a. “cinematic LOD” – even at great distances. This gives the game a feeling of clarity currently unavailable on the console.

The game will look very familiar to Xbox players though. The visual upgrades are mostly spit and polish. At its core, this is still good old Halo 2.

As with video, the audio in Halo 2 Vista will be subtly tweaked. For example, as of this Sprint, engine pitch on the Warthog and Ghost bends up or down depending on acceleration. Sound fundamentals are firming up too: sound is now more accurately spatialized now according to your position and the direction you’re facing. The audio devs treated us to all manner of booms and crackling flame effects as they wantonly blew things up, and the audience literally rocked in their seats at the metal groan of the wheel arm in Zanzibar.

Speaking of which, that giant wheel received an important fix in Sprint 5. Previously that sneaky wheel would pop in and out of existence depending on how you looked at it. These are not the droids you’re looking for…

Input

If you’re a PC gamer who takes pride in catlike 180 degrees turns with mouse and keyboard, you no doubt mock and pity the Neanderthal console gamer capable only of twiddling two thumbsticks and mashing candy-colored buttons. And yes, the default input setup will feel familiar to players of other Windows-based shooters. At Leipzig, we’re going to show with MS Optical Intellimice (mouses? meeces?) but I’ve heard rumblings about a different unit altogether that might be available in time for Halo 2 Vista’s release. Time will tell.

If, on the other hand, you’re one of the aforementioned cavepersons, the good news is that the Xbox 360 controller will plug straight into your your Vista PC and operates H2V perfectly. Having a console pedigree myself, I tend to play with the controller, but it’s a mixed bag on the team overall. The whole setup is highly customizable, and we’re still tweaking the game balance. [Ed. Note - I played against mice folks with a pad and managed significant ownage, so it's going to come down to preference when it gets to tournament level. - Frankie)

As of the latest Sprint, it’s even possible to switch between these two control options on the fly. Any input hint text on the screen will automatically change to reflect the device you’re using. So instead of being told to pull the left trigger to throw a grenade, you’re instead told to click the left mouse button. Over-engineered? Maybe. Or as someone said in the Sprint Review, maybe it’s engineered well.

Snax

After the various tech demos, the meeting broke for celebration. Delicacies were served, including Lunchables, carrots, and beer. Mmmm, Lunchables. Most of us stuck around to play a few slayer matches on the maps we’re showing at Leipzig. Noobs were owned.

There was plenty more hawtness during the tech demos, but I don’t want to steal all the thunder from the Leipzig Games Convention. We’re going to post more information about H2V in the coming weeks, so If you have burning questions about the project, stick them in the Comments section and we’ll try to answer them next time. Oh, and let me see if we can finagle some in-game screenshots so you can see Halo 2 running on Vista for yourselves.

il primo nn mi e' piaciuto un cavolo...poi su pc lo fanno uscire secoli dopo che su xbox ed e' logico che se poi nn aggiornano almeno la grafica nn e' piu' tanto bello...e' una conversione buttata la tanto per vendere.

[Gyppi FX™]

il piacere di un gioco è una cosa soggettiva

il team di sviluppo ha da poco un reparto pc proprio, fino a 6 mesi fa lavoravano solo su xbox, infatti halo1 non è stato fatto dagli stessi creatori del gioco per xbox.

la grafica la migliorano, anche in halo1 era migliore quella del pc che la controparte xbox. per halo2 faranno uguale, l'ho scritto proprio sopra

[covin]

Finalmente arrivera' su pc un fps con i contro maroni a differenza di un condenmed o qualsiasi altro fps uscito fino a poco tempo fa, ma sappiamo come i pcisti siano razzisti in confronto alle console.
Spero solo che io possa ricomprarmi una scheda video prima di poter provare questo gioiellino.
Ma non ho capito una cosa, se halo 2 e' vista only, richiede minimo le dx 10?

[Gyppi FX™]

esagerato
covin hai ancora la tag "banned" te la vuoi tenere a vita?

per ora non è stato specificato se serviranno le dx10 o no, sembra solo che sia necessario Vista.

Identico alla versione X-box, da notare che il tipo gioco di sicuro con un pad ...

[Gyppi FX™]

guarda che lo avevano detto che loro proferivano il pad...

mi sembra anche che il giocatore sia mezzo ipacciato, io col pad vado molto meglio di quello
