Does anyone know if Perfect Dark Zero is ever going to be released for PC.

nope, sorry.

Not gonna happen.

I'm going to say yes, why wouldn't microsoft spread their product, if it does i can tell you one thing it will be for a very long time.

Nobody knows for sure, but it probably will.

Extremely small possibility.

Like a 2% chance.

How so?

Becase from the looks of things its very much a console shooter. I mean heck, I thought Halo for the PC wasn't a patch on the console version.

Microsoft would not sell as many Xbox 360's if games like Halo 3 and Perfect Dark Zero were also for PC, so I doubt that will ever happen.

The technology in the 360's GPU is so unique
that no PC has the capabilities to run most
of the games yet. The RAM is only 512, but
the actual GPU made by ATI supposedly won't
be available for any computer until about
late 2006 or early 2007. Even then, the card
will cost about double the price of the 360.

Plus, Rare is contracted to Microsoft, so
they won't be able to release it without MS'
permission, and as mentioned in an above post,
they're in busness to sell the 360 AND the
games. So if they released the games for the
PC, they'd only get money for the games, and
not the systems + games.

So to answer your question; no.
You'll just need to get a 360.

That's where XNA comes into play.

No. Rare is not contracted to Microsoft. Microsoft owns Rare. Rare is under Microsoft. It's different. Microsoft knows that (most) PC gamers are too stubborn/loyal to buy a console just to play that one game, so why not send it on the PC-- the PC's that use your operating system?

I know that Microsoft are supposedly losing money on the consoles but if they can supply the 360 for this price, how come graphics cards to match the 360 cost so much for PC owners?

oh well i guess i will have to buy a 360 when they drop in price alittle bit.

Because they're interchangeable parts.

I could be wrong, but since when do Rare develop for PC's? Plus they're owned by MS, although they may be making DS and Rev games. Oh I don't know, stop bothering me..
