Microsoft executive producer says Microsoft is considering micro-transactions for Halo 4.
“I think Halo certainly has the potential for those kinds of things,” Dan Ayoub told Digital Spy [via MCV]
“We don’t have too much to talk about in terms of our plans down that line, but it’s certainly something… we’ve seen the fans of Gears are enjoying, and if it’s something we think our community is going to enjoy, it’s something we’ll seriously talk about.
“Obviously our commitment is always that we’re going to make sure there’s something for people to do on Halo, whether it’s playlists, or new maps or new content, something like that.
“We can’t say too much about the specifics we’re planning, but what we can say is we don’t take that commitment lightly, and people should keep their eyes open for cool stuff.”
Micro-transactions were already introduced by Microsoft to Gears of War: Judgment, where players can purchase a host of skins for their characters and weapons, so the possibility that Halo 4 could receive the treatment does not stretch the imagination.
