Stop with interesting news. I need layoff first to restore balance.
Anyway, I had a feeling it would take place there.
It’s Halo CE, and having to do with E-sports so I have already checked out.
I guess we’re all expecting Halo CE remade in Unreal Engine 5 with Xbox, PS5 and PC announcement, maybe even Switch 2! At this point I’m in for the ride (thank you Gamepass!) and I’ll definitely be replaying it when it comes out.
It makes sense to start talking about it for next year’s 25th anniversary! Really wonder if they could time a new console launch next year as well and fix the mistake they did with Series X and at least launch with a Halo game this time around!
As someone who played through all the pre-Infinite Halo games last summer, im looking forward to Halo: Combat Evolved Remake because the original for me was an 8.0/10 and if anything, overrated. However, playing it over two decades later is obviously not going to have the same impact or feel compared to if I played it back in 2001 or at least within a few years of release.
Yep, to me it was close to a 10/10 game, coming from PS2 shooters like 007 and others (and games from other genres) this was my first Xbox game and it was crazy, kinda felt like a game from the future.
Open world map with great gameplay, vehicles, insane physics which gave us some fun moments with the grenades, lots of enemies… we console players were definitely not used to that, kinda like what Oblivion did for open world RPG’s a few years later.
One of my best coop experiences, but yes if it’s a remake fixing graphics mostly, it won’t have nearly the same impact since we’ve had that same experience and even improved in the next Halo entries, but it’s a good chance for younger audiences who haven’t played it, or even new audiences with Playstation (or Switch 2?) players too.
And it should be a good chance for Halo Studios to get used to UE5 and at the same time, not take a lot of years to develop their next game after Infinite and all they’ve gone through with the layoffs etc, it’s a smart move imo.
I wouldn’t be against a remaking of all games prior to 4 to be honest, especially Halo 3. Halo 4 on Series X looks incredible to be honest and even Halo 5 holds up well. Reach and ODST, while good, are not ‘‘main’’ titles I guess.
Original Trilogy is worthy of a UE5 remake though. Like make all 3 games and at the end you can even double dip with an extra trilogy package for sale.
Yeah, I can definitely see Halo CE being amazing back then. It’s a perfect example why I personally rarely play decades old games. I know that they won’t resonate with me like they may have back then.
As for the Remake, I could make driving the Warthog better (seriously, that ending close was driving me nuts…I came very close to just dropping the game and never going back), add the grappling hook, aim down sights and more.
I want this to be the debut of Halo 7. I have played CE and CE Anniversary and CE via MCC enough.
I have not a lot of excitement for a Halo remake. Granted the artstyle of Halo Anniversary could use a makeover. But so long as i can play the original in 4k60 all is fine on my end.
I’ve enjoyed 343’s stewardship of the Halo franchise (even if there have been missteps here and there) and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next. Infinite in it’s current state might be my favourite game in the series.
I just hope for the CE remake that they also update some of the level design. Some of those copy/paste corridors just don’t cut it anymore.
Honestly, I’d prefer a ff7R style Halo remake. More of a reimagination.
I want a continuation of the Silver timeline in game form.
This would be awesome, they should go all in on this remake, Halo CE Anniversary was already just a new coat of paint, it would be preferable if a remake would add some new stuff like improved gameplay and level design.
