[360] Rumor: Halo 1 remake

[Twigg4075]

I heard about this on a podcast earlier and it was the first I had heard of it. I googled it and found several articles.

It seems like a good idea, especially if they include multiplayer. But not including the second game in a packaged deal, ala God of War, seems dumb.

Anything more than $20 would be a big mistake.

This has zero to do with Activision or Kotick. This is 343 Industries and Microsoft. They own the rights to the Halo franchise.

I was refering to the annualization of the halo franchise

I hate Kotick/activision for introducing the concept of annualization into the non-sports related genres, Kotick/activision have proven successful in the short term with this concept and now the rest of the gaming industry is on board as if to say "me too", burned out franchises be damned...

this is like When Puffy took hip hop mainstream in the 90's, and every1 followed suit until creativity became saturated, and it all became a joke you just wince at...

All in all...

Fuck you Kotick
Fuck you Puffy...

Very cool as long as its not sold for 60 bucks.

NICE!!

Halo 2 > Halo 1

Noone will agree with me and I expect a groan or two out of it, but it is true.

edit: If they did a Halo 2 remake I will be at best buy buying a 360 on release day.

If I had a plasma sword Id slice mmbeer and primetime in half for those blasphemous comments.

Halo 2 was the first time I actually felt the developers kick me in the balls in a non football title.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

:nope: Seriously? Lockout, Midship.

Only things wrong with the game were modders at high levels, and the bxr rrxyrrx glitches. Other than that the game was flawless imo

I have quite a few MMers here that can back me up that I could skullfuck anyone in team snipers, only person that could compete with me was MVPete.

Fuck I loved that game. In its heyday I had 3 roommates and we had a 4 TV LAN setup, it was a blast.

Now I'm old and have responsibilites

wouldnt a better analogy be something like fuck you jason especially since your puffy analogy isnt accurate at all

idk who this kotick is, but what are these activison games u are talking about? i assume the COD franchise....but again, its false because games were being done annually before COD. Go back to the 80ies and you will notice a little midget plumber game that is still being done today

id dont have a problem with remakes of great xbox/ps2 games because they were great games, and because its really only been done with one other game, GOW. As far as annual-izing goes, i dont mind that either if the follow up is a solid follow up.

with advanced technology the costs for development increases bigtime so these devs have to make a solid flow of cash to stay alive. and people want those games annually anyways

I assume by activision he meant things like COD and Guitar Hero.



twigg they released NBA Jam as a standalone game for $50 when it supposed to be a freebie in a $60 game what makes you think Halo 1 will be $20? It wouldnt be worth more than $20 but i severely doubt it would be priced that low.

The campaign sucked all kinds of ass.


Annuals remakes etc...All I want is awesome. If its not an absolutely kick ass game then dont bother. It does seem alot of these annuals can just be expansion maps/packs. But 60>20 I guess.

Ah, I never even tried the campaign. I don't care for any campaign in any FPS.

 

[Primetime]

Superbouncing FTW. My friends hated me so much in custom games.

 

[mgoblue2290]

The idea of playing 8 v 8 CTF on Blood Gulch again is so awesome. We used to do 4 Xbox LANs and I still remember the near brawls that would break out over accusations of screen looking.

Halo lolol

For one, that Jam comparison is not the same at all. EA was obviously trying to entice gamers to buy Elite because they knew they had an inferior product and the nostalgia factor alone of Jam would help with sales. Plus the Jam they were going to include with Elite was very stripped down. The one that I bought comes with tons of modes and is worth every bit of $50. Actually someone could easily argue that you were paying $30 each for Jam and Elite. But of course Elite ended up getting canceled because it was such trash.

As for this game, there is no way they can charge more than $20 if they are in their right minds. But this is M$ we are talking about and this is their flagship franchise. I could definitely see them charging upwards of $40 just because it's Halo.

But I came to the $20 price because I was comparing it to the GoW collection, which is obviously what MS is trying to model. They see how successful these HD remakes are and they want to get in on it, which makes sense. But of course if this is true they are going about it their own way and it will probably be greedier. Instead of releasing both Halo 1 and 2 on one disc for $40 they will release both individually for $40 and also make sure that there is some sort of Halo game released annually.

Plus, I have a feeling this might be a download only title because MS loves digital distribution. Which is all the more reason I think it will be $20. But with the popularity of Halo and the fact that less than 50% of 360 owners are on Live (I just found that stat out a few weeks ago) MS would be losing out on a ton of money if it was digital only. We shall see.
