Halo 1 and 2 being remade?

[Ridgemo]

I don't see why it matters. If you like it, like i do, then you can spend your own money on it. No law against it.

Likewise, there is no law requireing you to buy it. So if you don't like Halo, just ignore it and get on and do your own thing.

But then, i forget, whenever Halo is mentioned you have to bang on about how bland it is.

When I saw this thread my first reaction was also, sounds like Microsoft. I think that this says more about this rumor than anything. I have to lump this in with the stereotypical "another sports star in trouble for rape" story.
It just sounds like Microsoft would do it.

I love Halo:CE I'd buy it when it got down to 20 bucks.

 

[The Rascal King]

It sounds cool, but I am sure as hell not buying it for 60 dollars. I can go buy Halo:CE for cheap and have my own fun.

 

[DelphiSantano]

Hopefully not, they're good enough as they are thanks.
At most, a re-release on current-gen (like they did with God of War) might be good but thats about it.

 

[Elvoret]

I don't really care about the series, but my friends had fun.

It's a bit too soon though, a lot of people will have played the origonals and may not bother spending monies to do the same.

all i want to know is what the hell is bungie doing

 

[coldshadow]

not going to lie, I would buy halo 2 again, especially if it gets
online

 

[Shining_Pyrelight]

I'd like a remake. I really enjoyed the first Halo and wouldn't mind playing a nice HD remake.

Besides, it would be more material for Roosterteeth to work with. More Red vs. Blue is always good in my eyes.

 

[Tomo Stryker]

I would love to see a Halo: CE remake, but I want Bungies approval sticker. Seriously, they made this cash cow and it was good because 'they' made it. I felt the same way about Halo Wars until I actually played it, so until Bungie gives their nod then you ain't getting my hard earned dollars.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

This is pretty old news, but whatever.

I'd be interested in a CE remake, but terribly disinterested in a remake of Halo 2. I had very little fun with the second game, and I consider the weakest title of the Halo (core) series. That being CE,2,3, and Reach.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Not big surprise. Halo is way too popular to not have a remake made.

[sub]Still won't buy them.[/sub]

As for your thinly-veiled pop at Microsoft 'milking' the Halo games: it would be nice if Microsoft, and other publishers, put more stock in original titles, but none of them do. To single out Microsoft for something that the entire industry is guilty of is to show how blinkered you are. Hell, by the same standards, Valve has milked every last drop out of the Half-Life cashcow. So far, we've got Half-Life, Half-Life: Opposing Force, Half-Life: Blue Shift, Half-Life: Decay, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, and an upcoming (at some point) Half-Life: Episode 3, as well as Portal and Portal 2, which are part of the game universe. Makes Halo seem almost restrained by comparison...

I know the entire industry is guilty for doing it, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, But Halo is the one I am most familiar with.

 

[Irridium]

Unsurprised. Thats how I feel about it.

They do this while they could be making the Timesplitters games backwards compatible.

Microsoft doesn't own Timesplitters, last I checked that was EA.

They don't own the vast majority of games that are already backwards compatible, so... yeah.

Not surprised and actually looking forward to a Halo CE with Reach level graphics. Sure everyone is going to moan about how it came out ten years ago and doesn't need a remake but when you think of how far graphics have advanced in that amount of time and how beautiful the levels in CE were when it was released you can't help but get a little excited imagining the levels and characters with current level graphics.

In my opinion Halo 2 graphics haven't aged to badly but I would gladly shell out cash for one on par with Reach...
...
crap, I'm the target audience aren't I?

 

[William Dickbringer]

all I gotta say is that there better no changes (other than graphics) and that halo 2 includes it's map packs and that they are both sold together (I don't care if they are separate discs just not sold individually) but seeing as how this is Micro$oft we're talking about only one of the three things may happen 2 if lucky
but it would be nice to play halo 2 online I missed out on that seeing as how I never had money to afford live and I want to play CE online
