    Wait. Didn’t Halo: The Master Chief Collection already have a remaster for Halo 1??

      The MCC Halo had a graphical remaster on the original engine, that’s why you could swap between original and remaster visuals on the fly. The upcoming project is a remake on a new engine with changes to gameplay and design.

      Yes, but there are a lot of complaints. The classic visuals were missing effects present in the original xbox release, and the remade visuals lost an enormous amount of personality and detail. I don’t think I would buy halo 1 again (certainly not for more than $10) but it would be nice to have a definitive version

    The original magic and talent behind the Halo series is long gone. All that’s left is a corporate shell with billions of dollars to burn on a soulless cash grab for those looking back at the series with nostalgia.

    This feels sad for everyone involved.

    There’s so many okay games that could be remastered into excellent ones.

    If I didn’t have the Master Chief Collection, I would obtain my copy before Microsoft makes it have an “accident”.

      343 needs to go back and rewatch the VODs Bungie put out explaining their weapons triangle, and the reason for shields and armor

    The bar was set so low by the remaster that this will undoubtedly do well.

    My prediction: Minecraft crossover DLC within a year of release.
