Dream Games: Halo
Dream Games is a new weekly column where we explore a game we'd love to see on the PSP. Feel free to check in, and comment, every week.
Halo
Sure, pigs may turn into flying unicorns before this ever happens, but hey ... that's why we're dreaming, right? Halo is easily Microsoft's largest franchise, and it would make a perfect home on PSP. The FPS game has you playing as Master Chief, a soldier in a war against "The Flood," and became one of the single best reasons to own the original Xbox.
Why PSP?
A portable version was considered by Microsoft, but for a much less capable platform: the DS. The PSP, with its much more impressive tech, would be able to handle the processing needs of a Halo title much better. FPS controls haven't been perfected on the system yet, but that certainly didn't stop Goldeneye from becoming so popular back in the single analog stick era. A version of Halo for the portables would be well-suited for the older, hardcore PSP community, in either a FPS, or Halo Wars-style RTS game. Also, online would be a bit more fun without those silly friend codes. Unless Microsoft is making a portable Xbox, Sony's handheld is where they can go to cash in the big bucks.
Is it possible?
No. Even though it would make a ton of money, it will most likely never happen.
