PS5 Fans Believe Halo Could Make Its PlayStation Debut

Halo on PS5 is bordering on absolute at this point. The console wars are over and have been for a long time.

I would however wait for a sale to buy them. In my opinion, the earlier games that everyone raves about really have not aged well. And the later titles seem to be the very definition of 7/10 from what I've experienced of them.

Always found halo to be overrated tbh. Doubt I’d be interested in going back even if it is on ps5.

Halo died 14 years ago when Bungie left. The current studio can change it's name and the engine it's running on, but maybe it's better for them to stop animating it's corpse.

Just port Halo MCC. With who is leading the project today, the series will continue to be butchered.

I bought original Xbox before PS2, after a long stint with PS1. Halo 1 was one heck of an experience and quite a jump from games I was used to playing on PS1. Reviews were unanimously overwhelmingly positive and there were webpages dedicated to its lore. I also played Halo 2 and Gears of War 1 on Xbox. Loved them! Then I moved to PS3 and future playstations. I definitely miss Halo and Gears of War franchise. They also remind me of a time when I had a lot more spare time for gaming. Would love to experience both games from the time I left them (even if just remasters). I hope all these speculations turn out true.

Where's the "I already play all of them on pc" option. Regardless naming 343 to the halo studio is a great way to polish a turd of a company that doesn't understand halo. They need different leadership because nothing they've made is good besides cortanas redesign in 4.

As someone who just bought his first Xbox ever about 6 months ago and has now played through the entire mainline series up to Infinite (saving Reach for last!) I can say that I would be quite happy if this happened.

There were bits I didn’t care for, including locking a lot of context/story behind other media. Plus I have exactly zero interest in any multiplayer, I’m here for the story only. But yeah…if they ported the MCC over, I’d buy it again, along with 5 and Infinite. I’ll reward good behavior.

I echoe the above. Ive completed 1-4 and whilst they were ok i find them completely overrated when you consider the pedestal that some sit them on. The MCC would defenately be the way to go with ODST included(was it origionally included?) Id be much happier knowing Gears of war 1-3 was coming to PlayStation.

It's just a matter of time.

MCC Please and the Gears games and Sunset Overdrive and Rare Replay ta.

Played one on Xbox, never finished it. Tried master chief collection. Same.

Would try again as still plays quite well, and the main problem for me is that I never got on with Xbox controller. Feels to "hard" and "plastic-y".

the multiplayer would def benefit from being on all platforms

@Jrs1 the game I played the most on Xbox one... controller aside, pure gold ☺️

@RagnarLothbrok 343 Couldn't even get that right,. Microsoft have no one to port it I don't think

Halo 1 on original Xbox will always hold a special place in my heart as for 2 I only got into that game right at the end when the credits rolled I was like WTF. Halo 3 ended it just right for me and that's were it ended

But i thought Xbox had no games and the few they do are terrible! What happened to this narrative?

They'll bring state of decay 2 once it gets it's final update and starfield to PS5, people been saying they'll bring halo and gears of war for a literal year+ and it hasn't happened, literally makes no sense business wise unless they get game pass on PS5 because Microsoft still intend to make consoles, but why would they further kill their sales if they can't get game pass on Sony's platform?

Literally the reason I bought the original Xbox when my playstation broke. But like others have said, it's now a grave of a series. Bungie was the reason it was so good.

I just had a dream about playing Halo on my PS5. If it gets announced at any point in the remainder of this year, I'll be convinced that I'm a prophet.

I'm fine with that. Any excuse to play halo again is fine by me.
Halo 1-3 are some of the best FPS made in general and double so on consoles. ODST and reach were great as well.
4 was ok 5 was absolutely awful then infinite wasn't to bad I definitely enjoyed it more than 4 and 5.

343 have destroyed it but most of the staff is gone and it's nice it being on unreal as long as it still feels like halo

Give me Forza Horizon already, dang it! I want to be able to replay that one WITHOUT having to manually delete my cloud data everytime!

@Deityjester I mean it makes sense to bring it and gears to PlayStation as it will potentially open up a pretty damn big market. And fresh monies

If they could capture the first Halo's novelty and the Halo 2's multiplayer, I would definitely buy! I just don't want a remake or remaster. Focus on the story and make it co-op!

Xbox need to innovate....but I don't think this is the answer!

@Frmknst How is Master Chief dumber than, say, Bubsy or Leisure Suit Larry? Or frankly, more seriously, even iconic characters like Mario or Sonic? And how do you know anything about the character if you haven't played the series, hmm?

I really liked 3 and Reach, didn't like 4 much, but even if I loved Halo I still think it should be Xbox exclusive. It doesn't make sense to me to port it to PS when it's one of their established titles. If MS made a decent Halo again, if Fable is really good, and if they made a decent Gears game again, they'd start selling a lot more consoles I think. When I had a 360, my dad had a PS3, I'd just play all the games with no real preference for either console. PS4 became the main, Xbox one was just a Forza box to me, and the only thing tempting me to XSX is Stalker 2 and Avowed. Considering Stalker 2 is rumoured timed exclusive, and 2 Obsidian games are already on PS5, I'm in no rush to pick up a XSX.

IMO Xbox really need to figure out what their strategy is, and focus on making good games that sell consoles. I miss the 50/50 days

I’d like them to release the Master Chief Collection first. I wouldn’t be there day one for a Halo 1 remake, however I’d easily preorder the Collection at 100€ if I must.

Wait, so, Microsoft, you have idTech7 and still went with UE5?
Are you high or dumb?

@TedLassoNikes you could say "This isn't it chief"....

As long as 343 are in charge of the Halo IP, I won't be purchasing anything Halo related.

Of course MS is going to bring it over. They'd have 5-10m sales inside of a week with something like Halo: MCC, I reckon.

@Yousef- I’m definitely enjoying my series X! I love my PS5 far more, but the whole backwards compatibility thing is pretty sweet. It amuses me that the series X can play the original Assassin’s Creed game, as well as all three Final Fantasy 13 games.

Is that Master Chief with UE5? If yes then why he looks like an action figure? The model doesn't look natural.

As for the poll, i played & finished Halo: Combat Evolved on PC like eons ago just to see what the fuss about. I personally kinda enjoyed the game but i much prefer other FPS like Doom. So i voted no, Halo isn't my cup of tea.

I still remember being absolutely blown away when Halo was in GameStop. I can't remember if it was a demo or the full game (thinking demo?) but the part available was The Cartographer, when you're dropped in and just charge forward. Absolutely stunning visually and it was tight gameplay wise. When I eventually got an Xbox I realised how great the story was too.

I wish the console wars were raging still because competition breeds innovation, but I'm all for Halo on my PS5.

@LowDefAl

For me this all started half my life ago, but back then I loved Halo. I was 16 years old when the original xbox came out, got a part-time job in a restaurant where I worked (too much) after school. My parents didn't have a lot of money and for the first time in my life I could affort buying my own games. And hot damn I bought a lot of them.

My friends got into Halo big time so every weekend we set several xboxes into network mode and carried way too heavy tv's around so we could play Halo in multiplayer.

When Halo 2 released it was like this big event, we all subscribed to xbox live and played the game every night.

I bought my first surround set a week before the Halo 3 reveal trailer came out. The big bombastic music still gives me goosebumbs this day. The launch was a big event where our local gamestore did a midnight launch for the first time. Standing there with a lot of people was a super fun experience.

Halo 3 was so much fun! I've put thousands of hours into that game.

I miss those days. I get that all of this reeks of a nostalgic middle age view but back then, gaming was a lot more fun. Better? Probably not. But certainly more exciting.

@Frmknst You couldn’t be more wrong about Master Chief.

@Overmind Halo Re-animator 😀

I hope it never comes to PS nor do other big Xbox exclusives. Those wanting to play it should just buy a Xbox one to play the MCC. Its one of the cheapest way to play it.

I bought, and stilll have, my OG xbox just to play Halo. I then bought a 360 just to play Halo and was dissapointed with Halo 3 that I gave up on the franchise, though Reach was good.

It would have to be more like the old school Halio to reignite my interest but I can see where a WarHaloFrameDestinyDecendant might be of interest.

I have both consoles. Would be strange if Halo was on Playstation. Perhaps, Sony could come to an agreement with Microsoft. God of War for Halo, or something like that.

I'd definitely support this if it came to Playstation. Same with Gears if War and Fable.

The one franchise (well, plus Gears but less so) that I truly mourned having to leave behind when I switched back to PlayStation for the PS4. It was cushioned a bit by the fact that Bungie was no longer involved, but I’d be there day one for Halo on PS5 (as long as there’s a meaty campaign).

Halo isn't the major player it once was. If it comes to Playstation it'll serve as proof that the same can be said about XBOX in general.

Lacks a vote option: I played Halo years ago and have no interest anymore

After skimming the comments, I just want to add that Halo Reach was the best of the Halo games.

I'll play the halo series again no problem. I'd much rather have gears of war or forza but halos nothing to be sniffed at.

If they actually did port Halo to PlayStation, I’d honest see it as a confirmation of MS not knowing what to do anymore and slowly cease the console market. I mean sure, they have other exclusives like Gears and Forza, but if they move they’re bread and butter, Halo, which has been in severe decline, to PlayStation, then what’s to stop porting other games and even continue console development? My brother had absolutely no interest even in an Xbox zone, but bought one just to try Forza Horizon 3, then got more games later. But it’s true, exclusives help sell consoles. If I want to play like Ratchet & Clank or Mario, I’ll buy the consoles those games are for. If Xbox has no exclusives anymore, why even make a console?

@Vaako007 Somehow I think it’d be cheaper to have a port on PS than buy an entirely separate console just to play the MCC…

And I say this as someone who bought their first and likely only XBox ever this year to play the XBox only games he’d missed over the years.

You can rename 343 studios as many times as you want but it doesn’t change the fact that 343 has never made a good halo game.

There was a time when I would've been completely on board with this. However, I lost interest in Halo years ago and have no real interest to ever revisit the series. I tried the MCC on PC and didn't really get into it.

I might be biased, but i feel like Halo was really only good because it was the first, and only, good FPS on consoles.
It cant measure to the likes of half life.

Keep it xbox, give us Forza Horizon!

No PC option on the poll? I'm offended and outraged.

@Fartingale It's not only a "rename" though. Whole management layer of 343 was fired in 2022 and if you checked a list of devs from Halo Infinite vs. now (in senior positions) there are only a few from "old guard" who are still there.

So it's basically a new studio. And veterans who stayed from 343 are basically guys who "saved" MCC after disastrous launch, like Hintze or Szlagor.

@NEStalgia You're on a PlayStation fan site

@SleeplessKnight But the poll has an Xbox option!

@NEStalgia Aren't they (Xbox and PC) basically the same thing these days?

@SleeplessKnight Lol, close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades 😂
