Halo: CE remake coming out this november

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Great. My dad and I used to play CE co-op when we first got the Xbox. His birthday is in december so this'll make a perfect birthday present...Unless he reads this forum, in which case, I'm still buying it.

I hope Microsoft don't F*** with the formula. Same game but with updated graphics. If they change ANYTHING other than the graphics, then I'm switching to MAC

Ahem... REMAKE MARATHON

A Durandal graphics update is not enough!

I can't deny that this seems like a far better and more appropriate option than another generic sequel. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this. Has been a long while since I played Halo: CE, but does this mean they will be remaking Halo 2 as well considering it was also on the original X-Box.

Seriously, the way Microsoft goes on about CE remakes is as if the first one was in retro, for crying out loud it still plays and holds up perfectly well compared to modern day standards.

An overhaul of the best game in the series, I like.

I some what wanted to chew your post up, spit it out, piss on it, and then feed it to a homeless man who wouldn't even eat it because he somehow knew that the content of the post was a mixture of insanity and human feces.

I think people are confusing Custom Edition with the actual Single Player Halo, both are two different things.

Doesn't CE mean "Combat Evolved", the subtitle of the serie which was later dropped in Halo 2+ ?

CE can stand for "Combat Evolved" but also for "Custom Edition", the latter being a popular PC mod of the game that allows such extensive modification of the game that it puts Forge to shame a billion times over.

CE means two things (Thank goodness they didn't make it confusing >.>)

Custom Edition

And Combat Evolved

From what I can tell it seems like they will be taking and trying to intertwine the two.

And I would want a remake of that game why? It ranged from totally bad (The Library) to mediocre (everything else).

Although I still can't figure this one out:
Nintendo re-releases an old SNES game on a disc for the Wii with other included goodies for Mario's 25th anniversary, everyone hates it.
Microsoft is going to have Halo completely upgraded to be a current gen title, everyone hates it (at least that's what I've seen so far).
Sony has a bunch of PS2 games not fully upgraded to be current gen, but just pushes the upscale + widescreen button and sprinkles on some trophies, putting their level of effort somewhere between Nintendo and Microsoft. Everyone loves it. WTF??? I guess I'm the only one who sees Sony as shifty bastards who are just trying to milk people after removing PS2 BC from the PS3 that "only does everything" while probably turning down lots of developers who are pitching completely new and original game ideas to them (they can only publish so much, they don't have an unlimited money pot), effectively adding to that stagnation people whine about when they talk about getting Call of Duty, piles of sports games, and Guitar Hero every year instead of new stuff.

I refuse to buy any further Halo game not made by Bungie, and I refuse to fund Microsoft continuing to milk it. Just let Reach be the end. Let it the fuck go. It's better to burn out then to fade away.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I'm really skeptical about this. Sure I'd love to see a updated Halo CE but seeing as Microsoft is more likely behind this(not Bungie) I fear they're just milking it.

But I will hold my final judgment until I actually see the game. That said, I hope they add the other Covenant species(but change brutes designs back to H3), their weapons, and their vehicles.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

Please 343, please please remake Halo 2 with multiplayer. Pleeeease!

Your best friend forever,
Metallica

I'll have to investigate it before I put down any coins to buy it. I mean, I already have Halo.

 

[Drentics]

What I'd like to see is a System Shock 2 remake...with new voice actors for the audio logs.

 

[Kingsnake661]

Huh. I might get this, I guess, although it seems kinda.... um... is "superfluous" the word? CE is only 10 years old.

Why remake? Halo CE is a pretty good game. And not only for xbox/Halo fanboys.

Seriously, there are game that need a remake way more than this one.

WHY remake it? Shameless cash grab. They know it'll sell, and it's prolly alot less work then building a new Halo game from the ground up. And people WILL buy it. It's easy money... can't really blame them, even though i'd like them working on something NEW. Companys need to make money. A sure bet like this, well, is a sure bet, so why not?

I, for one, don't mind remakes honestly, I've played alot of them over the years, because alot of old games i liked are just hard to find, or play, now a days. Lunar, FF's, Shining Forces, Wild Arms, ect, all have had remakes or updates on newer systems.

So i don't hate remakes on princable alone. I just hate crappy ones. So... I'll resurve judgment until I've played it. (If i play it. I'm a lukwarm Halo fan at best.)

 

[Revie]

Obiously some heavy cashgrabbing going on. However Halo:CE with Xbox live mutliplayer is what a lot of fans would really want.

As long as it is reasonably priced and they don't totally ruin the engine then I'd get it.

With a massive resume of WIll rock and and the craptastic Timeshift, Saber Interactive deserves this honor how? I can only see the Halo CE remake sucking bawlz. And for all you Halo fanboys, Halo CE was the only good Halo title and that was because of the amazing story line, not the crappy multiplayer.

I didn't find the multiplayer crappy at all -- If the multiplayer was crappy it was at fault of the community not having enough creativity.
