  • Its so unfortunate that 343 messed up CE Anniversary so badly. But at least they did a lot better with Halo 2 Anniversary (though that is also not without its issues).

    Now with a rebrand to Halo Studios, which was 100% caused by their poor stewardship of the series and the ruining of their own reputation beyond redemption, 343 will have to super-over-deliver with whatever they come out with next.

    And I pray it is not a CE Remake. They messed it up already once before, just leave it alone and do something different with Halo. Make ODST 2 or some new story about a new Spartan entirely, I am tired of my favorite characters and stories being butchered these days.






  • Good. I heard this version was pretty faithful to the original and did not opt to censor anything from the original.

    That is how games that are remastered or remade should be done: as faithful as possible to the original with the absolute minimal changes necessary.

    If developers want to have a remade story that makes a lot of changes, then include it as an alternate mode. As long as the original is faithfully recreated, I have no problem trying out a new way to play. But only including the new way to play rubs me the wrong way. Its like someone in development said “I know better than the original team, and my ‘better’ version is the only one people will get to play.” I steer clear of those.

    Resident Evil Deadly Silence did this, where it had its own “Rebirth Mode,” along with “Classic Mode.” Literally all remakes and remasters should have this.
