Halo 4 Will Work With Surface Tablets !

While the whole gaming industry and the game lovers are waiting for the next part of the popular game from Microsoft the  “Halo 4″.The question came into many of the minds about would the upcoming Xbox 360 title work on the recently announced Surface Tablets ?

Well,here’s the answer from the officials,Yes,Halo 4 will work with Surface Tablets.As reported earlier by Venturebeat,talking with Don Mattrick Microsoft’s president for interactive entertainment business,who indicated that Halo 4 will certainly work with the upcoming Surface Tablets based on Windows 8 operating system.

But,he didn’t elaborate in detail about how it will work with the Surface Tablet.Since we already got a demonstration of the Xbox Smart Glass at E3 event,allowing some extra information on the games on popular platforms like iOS,android,Windows Phone 8 and the upcoming Windows 8 devices.So its quite unclear at the moment if the gamers would indeed get to play the game on their surface device or not.But there is definitely something in the works for the same.Stay tuned for more coverage.

    But you know what will not work on Windows 8/Surface?

    The existing desktop user base.

      Why won’t people who use desktop applications not be able to use Windows 8?

      • SvalinnAsgard

        Metro. It is clunky and backwards for us long time desktop users. It ought to be an option, not forced upon us.

        • kfield

          You don’t have to use Metro. You can stick with desktop applications. You’re only going to use Metro for searches….

          • SvalinnAsgard

            That is true, but the fact that it is there at all, whether one likes it or not, is what bothers me. Also, I am thinking a few years down the line–it is quite obvious that Microsoft intends to completely kill of the desktop fast. It is too early and too sacrificial, all in the name of pandering to new-agers and trying to compete with Apple.

            Competition in the marketplace is great, but not when that means the sacrifice of an established multi-million-user consumer/corporate base.

            If MS is gong to kill the desktop, they’d be killing the goose that laid the golden egg. It’s the mere existence of Metro that has some people wondering if the desktop will survive.  MS has to enter the  tablet/hybrid market because business people are now purchasing iPads. They have know choice. If they can develop that also works just as good as a laptop (hybrid, transformer etc.) then a touch interface is necessary. They tried the desktop interface as a touch UI and nobody bought those tables. Apple did invent the tablet, MS did. With windows 8, that legacy gets to hitch a ride with Metro. Consumers and business people are going to love this because of the value that convergence represents.

            This idea that everyone is going to love Windows 8 as it brings us altogether holding hands is just silly. Does anyone really think that corporations with long standing methods and workflows are really going to adopt something like metro? There is a reason why nearly every office I have been in is still using XP. Microsoft marketed Vista as a super powerful productivity enhancer that would unite the world and kill Apple… and look how that turned out. Even Windows 7, which is regarded as much better than Vista, has yet to see mass adoption in companies. Last year, I built a few computers for a company and some relatives, and ALL of them requested XP. They even asked me to strip the bloat off of XP, and I gladly did… at least XP allows me to do so.

            There is but one group of people who will like Windows 8. NEW AGE NARCISSISTIC FACEBOOK SLAVES.

            You’re way too cynical. Things change. XP is dated, the UI and the code just isn’t keeping up. 

            “Even Windows 7, which
            is regarded as much better than Vista, has yet to see mass adoption in
            companies”

            This statement is a flat out lie and you know it. It’s depressing to think that even IT people are no longer interested in the field they work in.

            You know what I don’t like?  The color green.  I’ve sent Microsoft e-mails asking them to remove it but they keep on including it in Windows.  Damn you Microsoft!

          • SvalinnAsgard

            skruis you are a crazy man. Metro and a color are not at all comparable. Metro redefines the way modern desktop computers work in a negative way.
            I know what you are getting at–no I am not whining about not getting my way, no I am not anti-Microsoft (supported them since the mid 90s, been a loyal Windows user since). This is merely the concerned opinion of a paying customer.
