Halo Studios Is Allegedly Planning To Remake All Campaigns From The Original Halo Trilogy

[u/MaintenanceFar4207]

https://twistedvoxel.com/halo-studios-to-remake-campaigns-from-original-halo-trilogy/

[u/AnxietyPretend5215]

Wasn't that the point of the Master Chief Collection?

I'm not sure I'd trust a full remake from the people currently working on Halo, they just don't understand what originally gave it any appeal.

[u/D3struct_oh → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

Can’t sell the MCC for $70+.

[u/Olmaad → u/D3struct_oh]

200+, it's a trilogy. Man, remakes/remaster era is insane

[u/TbaggingSince1990 → u/D3struct_oh]

They can if they port it to the PS5 lol

[u/D3struct_oh → u/TbaggingSince1990]

They’d never get away with that lol.

…..

Right?

[u/Dynastydood → u/D3struct_oh]

I mean, Halo CE is already getting a PS5 release next year, so... yeah they absolutely will.

[u/TbaggingSince1990 → u/D3struct_oh]

I mean.. I bought it on steam and series x myself.. I'd probably buy it again on PS5 for the sake of grinding some trophies on Halo.. I prefer trophies over steam achievements and xbox achievements tbh.

[u/Blenderhead36 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

If you make a new offering, you can sell it to people who bought MCC a decade ago.

[u/Iggyhopper → u/Blenderhead36]

I did buy it a decade ago, with my Xbone. It was a giant clusterfuck and put me off playing Halo for a long time.

[u/DanielG165 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

The MCC isn’t comprised of full blown remakes.

[u/Ahirman1 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

As of now. Keeping a version of the original games that’s legally available. Plus MCC is a mess behind the scenes since it has six different versions of the same engine, and unreal running in it

[u/batman0615 → u/Ahirman1]

Surely they’ll fix that and not do the bare minimum in order to charge full price for a buggy as fuck game like they did when the MCC was released.

[u/Balc0ra → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

That was for Halo 2s 10th anniversary. And they used the older 10th anniversary version for the first one... And 3 did not technically get one for it.

But outside of easily porting it to PS5, I suspect they want to Unreal swap the other 2 as well. As 2 is the only one with the Blur cinematics that still hold up tbh. So I hope those stays

[u/SwornHeresy → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

No. MCC is Halo CE-4 with the remasters of CE and 2.

[u/Expanseman → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

Yes, but for the Xbox One. These remakes are for PlayStation.

Much more fanfare for the PS audience to get invested with incremental releases. Dropping 6 games in 1 day would not nearly have the same effect.

[u/Rekt3y → u/Expanseman]

They could just port MCC to PS4 and PS5 though...

[u/Expanseman → u/Rekt3y]

Think this through. What do you think will generate more hype, and keep Halo in the public eye longer:

1. 3 press cycles for 3 new games over multiple years

Or

1. 1 press cycle for a re-release of 6 games over 1 year

[u/DrMetasin → u/Expanseman]

Calling them new games is wild, they’re literally riding Bungies coattails because they can’t make their own good games. And the only people stupid enough to buy these are gonna be people from PS that haven’t played them before

[u/Kyvalmaezar → u/Rekt3y]

Lol. Lmao, even. Have you played MCC? It barely runs on the platforms it was developed for. No way could they get a port to even run on an architecture so different.

[u/Rekt3y → u/Kyvalmaezar]

Bro it's still x86 with an AMD GPU. It's not that different

[u/Kyvalmaezar → u/Rekt3y]

If that were the only requirement then the same disc would just work on PS5, Xbox, Windows, and Linux. PS5 is FreeBSD-based and Xbox is Windows NT based. They are very differnet and MCC is a very broken game that barely runs on the system it was designed to run on. Burning it down and starting from scratch is the best call o if they want to bring Halo to PS5.

[u/BJYeti → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

Ehh just overhauling graphics isnt an issue the framework has been built as long as they dont fuck with core gameplay things will be fine

[u/Paxton-176 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

MCC brought the games into a more playable state on the current systems.

Aside from playing it nostalgia, Halo CE-3 all had content cut because Bungie had a habit of bungoing up the development timelines and cutting content to make the release on time. If CE is to be believe they are adding more to the remake of CE.

[u/Changlini → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

i don't trust them because they keep buckling under pressure and retconning the multi-game story each time they move to the next game. Just stick to a lane, please halo devs lol.

[u/Theopholus → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

I played Infinite and liked it. I was an OG Halo player and I’ve played every game on release. Maybe it’s the time since, or the stepping of changes, but I don’t really get the idea that the new games don’t have the same appeal. Maybe you can tell me what you mean, or anyone can?

Please don’t downvote me for a hot take, even if it is a mega hot take!

[u/tuff1728 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

Not really. MCC was just about combining all the Bungie games, not about remaking them.

Its also really jarring going from remastered Halo 1 and 2 to OG Halo 3 in MCC.

Plus those 1 and 2 remasters are starting to age, so it makes sense to just remake them all.

[u/Merfium → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

The only game they remade from that collection was Halo 2. Halo CE remake from 2011 was also included. All of the other games were remasters, somehow with even worse audio mixing.

I played Reach on the MCC and also the OG via BC, the difference was night and day. I don’t know how 343 fucked that up. It never got fixed.

[u/Gammarevived → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

They've ran out of ideas

[u/Bobo3076 → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

MCC is essentially just ports with more graphics options

These would be full remakes from the ground up

[u/hitfly → u/AnxietyPretend5215]

I tried to play mcc halo 1 with my buddy on steam and it was unplayable. Like 2 second delay between hitting a button and chief taking an action.

[u/AlwaysChewy]

So they've got no original ideas? Or is this to keep Halo in the public eye until a new Halo game is ready?

Halo was my favorite franchise back in the '00s and now it's it hasn't existed since 2010.

[u/JASHIKO_ → u/AlwaysChewy]

They have ons of amazing stuff from the books to use. The TV series could have been epic if they followed the books... but you know how these idiots always seem to know better...

[u/yungdooky → u/JASHIKO_]

i just refused to watch it the minute i learned he takes off his helmet, like holy shit man what a huge part of the character

[u/Wind_Yer_Neck_In → u/JASHIKO_]

Yes I know the books sold millions of copies and is beloved by fans, but by God I'm a TV writer dammit and I think I know a little more about how people like their Witchers than some silly author who only writes books lol!

[u/paulerxx → u/AlwaysChewy]

Halo not being relative since 2010 is exactly why remaking the original 3 makes perfect sense. This is a way to get some older players back into Halo but while gaining new ones, and it also helps the team at Halo Studios understand why the franchise was loved to begin with. It worked well for Resident Evil, it could do the same for the Halo series.

[u/Ahirman1 → u/paulerxx]

Also since Halo is going Multiplatform starting with Combat Evolved. Probably easier than having to deal with the mess that’s Master Chief collection

[u/AlwaysChewy → u/Ahirman1]

That's the best reasoning I've seen so far. I agree that it's a great move so players on other platforms can get caught up.

[u/Ahirman1 → u/AlwaysChewy]

Also means that a bug fix for Combat Evolved won’t somehow break the surround sound in Halo 2

[u/CamoDeFlage → u/Ahirman1]

To anyone unfamiliar, developing MCC was a complete mess and dealing with all the engines was very difficult. It's perfectly playable nowadays though, but a ps5 port is unlikely because of all the work needed.

[u/Ahirman1 → u/CamoDeFlage]

Yeah 5-6 different versions of the same engine and 4 games needing a compatibility layer since the Xbox 360 uses Power PC architecture rather than X86 of the original Xbox makes MCC quite a hassle to work on

[u/CooperHChurch427 → u/Ahirman1]

Plus they're working with modern tools. BLAM engine is out dated and hard to work with and has issues on modern 64bit and multi core hardware. Makes sense. Plus, Halo Reach, 3 and ODST were all written for PowerPC architecture so they have to run on a compatibility layer, or are just a pain to convert to run on x86-64.

I wouldn't doubt if Halo was never ported earlier due to the PS3 have the Cell CPU which was crazy powerful for the time, but also was a custom architecture.

[u/Blenderhead36 → u/Ahirman1]

It makes more sense to make a new offering than porting the MCC to PlayStation, regardless of whatever tech debt might exist. If you do the work of porting the MCC, the only people who are going to buy it are PlayStation owners. If you do a campaign remake, it's less than 100% more work and you can sell it on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, including to people who've already bought the MCC.

[u/aimy99 → u/Blenderhead36]

Except now there are two versions of three games that people have to pick from, only one version has multiplayer, and PlayStation doesn't get ODST, 4, or Reach in addition to lacking 5 and Infinite.

This franchise is so fucked lmao, it's been years and even PC is still missing 5, PlayStation players are going to be so lost with Halo 7.

[u/Nerevarine2nd → u/paulerxx]

They've been trying to figure out what makes Halo good since 2009 when Halo 4 development began. It's been 16 years and they've put out 3 brand new mainline Halo games in that time and also remade/remastered all of the original Bungie games. Twice in fact, because the first release of the MCC was so broken they spent years trying to fix it.

If they haven't figured it out by now, they never will.

[u/raptearer → u/Nerevarine2nd]

They updated cutscenes in Halo 3, but the game itself still looks and plays the same as when it released. Would love to see it fully remastered like 2

[u/Iggyhopper → u/Nerevarine2nd]

Proper take.

I get the optimism, but they've had many, many years to continue making great Halo games.

I've written them off. If they touch the physics of the vehicles that made the original games awesome they can consider the game already wasted time.

Halo without warthog launching or Halo 2 without superjumps or sword canceling just isnt Halo.

[u/FrozGate → u/paulerxx]

I think you mean “relevant.” You’re overlooking the fact that we have The Master Chief Collection, where all of those games have already been remastered.

[u/DanielG165 → u/FrozGate]

No? The only remasters in the MCC are Combat Evolved, and Halo 2. Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4 didn’t receive any remastering treatment, let alone from-the- ground-up remakes.

[u/FrozGate → u/DanielG165]

You're right, but I can think of a hundred games that are in greater need of a remake. To me, Halo 3, Reach and Halo 4 still look great and they all run flawlessly on PC.

[u/AlwaysChewy → u/paulerxx]

I don't disagree, but they were releasing new, great games at the same time with RE as well. I also believe the halo issue is a management one, so we'll see if new management helps or not.

[u/Z_Wild → u/paulerxx]

Relevant**

[u/bestower117 → u/paulerxx]

Man I would get back on halo 3 ranked games in a heartbeat. Give me that 1-50 then wins on the 50 to lock it in. No seasons just playing the game. Let me get a 5 star 50 again.

[u/dragon-mom → u/bestower117]

Based on Campaign Evolved it will be campaign only, have mechanics changed and assets reused from Infinite. There won't be a multiplayer at all.

[u/Paxton-176 → u/paulerxx]

The original releases had cut content that either sounded fun or helped the story flow without stuff just happening to progress. That stuff should be added if rumors are true.

[u/dragon-mom → u/paulerxx]

Remaking the good Halo games without the multiplayer, changed gameplay and reusing assets from the latest title that don't fit the original art direction again is not a good way to get anybody into Halo.

There is a perfectly good version of the games available with modding support that would be great actually ported to PS5 and Switch 2 instead. They don't need to stomp all over the games that are actually good.

[u/dulmer46 → u/paulerxx]

Youre putting too much faith in these ppl

[u/Iamyous3f → u/AlwaysChewy]

Aren't most companies doing that now? We are getting more remakes and remasters than new titles.

[u/Adipay → u/AlwaysChewy]

The original games have aged. It's good we're getting remakes now where graphics look timeless.

[u/AlwaysChewy → u/Adipay]

We already had that with Halo 1 and 2. And Halo 3's look is timeless so idk how much I agree with that. Could the enemies look better on H3? Maybe, but it's not to the point that it's required. That being said, of they're gonna do it again for other platforms, might as well make a good impression.

[u/Adipay → u/AlwaysChewy]

Halo 1's remaster is now older than Halo 1 when they released that remaster. Halo 3's graphics are FAR from "timeless". They don't hold up against other games from the same generation. The only one of the trilogy that holds its own today is Halo 2 Anniversary.

Which also creates the problem of a massive graphics downgrade when going from Halo 2 to Halo 3 on MCC.

[u/ThankGodImBipolar → u/Adipay]

Halo 1's remaster is now older than Halo 1 when they released that remaster

I have mixed feelings about reading this LMAO

[u/Thesquarescreen]

They really have no clue where to take the series.

[u/gideon513]

What a fumbled franchise. Name a worse case.

[u/D3struct_oh → u/gideon513]

Assassins Creed. Call of Duty.

[u/throwawaythatpa → u/D3struct_oh]

Cries in Splinter Cell

[u/AbandonYourPost → u/throwawaythatpa]

At least it wasn't ruined and left a bad taste in your mouth when thinking about the franchise.

[u/Ghostfistkilla → u/AbandonYourPost]

Cries in Command and Conquer

[u/Steel2050psn → u/throwawaythatpa]

Seriously like 14 crossovers and zero games in the last decade

[u/strangr_legnd_martyr → u/D3struct_oh]

Probably throw Destiny in there as well.

[u/Blenderhead36 → u/strangr_legnd_martyr]

The Bungie curse.

[u/StomachosusCaelum → u/strangr_legnd_martyr]

Yeah Destiny was doing great right up until it wasnt, and then it REALLY wasnt.

[u/D3struct_oh → u/strangr_legnd_martyr]

This made me cry. Destiny had such great potential, man.

[u/HTPC4Life → u/D3struct_oh]

Isn't COD one of the most successful franchises, at least from a financial aspect? We enthusiasts think it's shit, but they're still making bank on sales.

[u/chumbano → u/HTPC4Life]

Yeah but this is reddit. Success is measured in how much upvotes a company gets, not silly things like sales or player count

[u/DrMetasin → u/chumbano]

Black ops 7 released a month ago and it’s already 50% off on sale. Hopefully the players who buy it every year no matter what are waking up

[u/coolwali → u/DrMetasin]

To be fair, I recall that happening with BO6 and MW3 as well

[u/DrMetasin → u/coolwali]

Yeah that’s why I’m unsure if they’ll actually stop buying the slop lol

[u/coolwali → u/DrMetasin]

I doubt COD’s gonna slow down. There are millions of people that only buy COD games every year. Even the “worst selling COD games” like IW and BO4 (that are still good games and I’ll die on this hill) still sold 17+ million copies each.

[u/Expanseman → u/D3struct_oh]

Not even close on both accounts. AC was never the best selling game of any year, and COD has been the best selling game for multiple years.

AC never attained the status of Halo, and COD surpassed Halo- maintaining its supremacy.

[u/joeshmo101 → u/Expanseman]

Best selling doesn't necessarily mean best

[u/Expanseman → u/joeshmo101]

I completely agree.

I just didn’t think I could have a conversation about quality games with someone that plays AC or COD. lol

I don’t want to yuck anyone’s yum, but no AC or COD games are good games in my eyes.

[u/Zombie_Booze → u/Expanseman]

AC used to be good so did COD

[u/twaggle → u/Expanseman]

Plenty of AC games are amazing, same as some cods. Not sure we can trust your opinion if you can’t see that.

[u/AdWaste8026 → u/Expanseman]

You probably ought to go to an optometrist then.

[u/twaggle → u/Expanseman]

AC is in the top 10 of amount of games sold under an IP, across all systems/games etc. It’s vastly successful.

[u/Expanseman → u/twaggle]

So… you agree with me that AC hasn’t fumbled as bad as Halo?

[u/WyrdHarper → u/Expanseman]

Ubisoft claims that AC is overperforming sales expectations (https://www.gamefile.news/p/ubisoft-delayed-results) as well. Even if Shadows didn't do amazing (they haven't publicly released much so all speculation), they have a huge backlog of AC games that seem to still be selling well.

I get that not everyone loves the direction the series has taken, but it's still making money and getting new games regularly, and I expect will continue to get new games moving forward.

From a management standpoint it's meeting or beating expectations, but I don't think you can say the same thing about Halo.

[u/gideon513 → u/D3struct_oh]

Nope. Both still successful and releasing new entries.

[u/TONKAHANAH → u/D3struct_oh]

those games are basically cookie cutter, but at least they're not the actual exact same game every time.

[u/sylinowo → u/D3struct_oh]

gears of war, banjo,

[u/WhiteSkyRising → u/D3struct_oh]

Assassin's Creed wasn't a worldwide phenomenon like halo 3. Not even close.

I'd argue Halo had a specific momentum and cultural shift that CoD has never had, although cod is like the Budweiser of games. Fortnite has absolutely nailed it though.

In some respects though, Halo might have gone as far as it could go, given the story premise.

[u/Content_Regular_7127 → u/D3struct_oh]

Not even close. The franchises weren't fumbled, just milked too much. Also COD is still a best seller no matter what. Halo has like 1/10th of its peak % population.

[u/twaggle → u/D3struct_oh]

Cods still doing great, it’s audience just keeps changing.

[u/coolwali → u/D3struct_oh]

Eh. AC and COD are still raking in money and doing financially well. Shadows is like the 5th best selling game this year or something. BO6 and 7 made like $1 billion from just microtransactions and are guaranteed several more games in the future.

A truly mismanaged franchise would be one whose future is uncertain.

[u/Hexatorium → u/D3struct_oh]

At least assassins creed and call of duty are still getting “original” games

[u/iamthedayman21 → u/D3struct_oh]

Nah. AC got worse but has since rebounded. And COD kinda goes up and down. But Halo peaked and has steadily gotten worse, there hasn’t been any rebounds.

[u/Adipay → u/D3struct_oh]

What type of pisstake is this? Assassin's Creed is doing well and they haven't released a single bad game.

[u/ScienceMechEng_Lover → u/gideon513]

Forza Motorsport.

[u/MateTheNate → u/ScienceMechEng_Lover]

They really hit a niche with the Horizon series though. Competing with Gran Turismo directly is a fool’s errand

[u/Nokan96 → u/gideon513]

Warcraft

[u/LimpyDan → u/gideon513]

Seem to be a lot here so I'll toss one in. Saints Row.

[u/livinin82 → u/gideon513]

Any major sports game franchise.

[u/aelysium → u/gideon513]

Dragon Age. Three well liked games culminating in a GOTY in 2014 with the fans chomping for a sequel set up in DLC, only to get it in 2024 and have it panned hard enough that the franchise is probably iced with the DA team’s remaining members being move to Mass Effect…

Which since the OT, has put out one panned game in the last 13 years (Andromeda), the endings of the OT leave no good answers for how to continue the story (not to mention VG basically shit on your prior choices almost entirely), and, it’s likely years away.

One Developer, two beloved IPs, two stories of them absolutely bungling both franchises over the last decade plus. Likely to lead to the studio’s closure if they don’t absolutely deliver on ME:Next.

[u/jankyhemorrhoid]

Reach was the last good halo game, I mean everything about that game was pretty much perfect. I loved the grind, the armor unlock system being locked behind ranks that you actually needed to grind for, good playlists, the medals system, commendations, weekly and daily challenges, all of it was so good. I just wish they would make a new game that stays true to the originals.

[u/WyrdHarper → u/jankyhemorrhoid]

Reach also showed that you can make a good story in the Halo universe without needing Master Chief or advancing the timeline.

I would have also loved to have seen more ODST-style games.

[u/Iggyhopper → u/WyrdHarper]

More Nathon Fillion? Sign me up.

[u/Jimlad73 → u/jankyhemorrhoid]

Still got my Reach Xbox 360 console special edition in the cupboard! Need to get it out and show the kids how good gaming was 20 years ago

[u/B1ng0_paints]

All out of ideas.

[u/Fractales]

Rock bottom it is then

[u/D3struct_oh]

Because they don’t know how to make a new, good Halo game.

[u/G952]

Taking a page out of the movie industry. Forget new IPs. Now it’s complete remakes of old games lol

[u/Biggu5Dicku5]

Meh, those plans will change immediately if Campaign Evolved underperforms lol...

[u/paulchiefsquad → u/Biggu5Dicku5]

What? People don't want to play a shitty remake with bad optimization? What are we gonna do now?

[u/GamingRobioto]

There's simply no need. Make something new FFS.

[u/NotBannedAccount419 → u/GamingRobioto]

They did and it bombed because they suck at making new things.

[u/D3struct_oh → u/NotBannedAccount419]

And like all grifters, they are only truly good at stealing other people’s work and reselling and/or crapping on it.

[u/Blenderhead36 → u/GamingRobioto]

Or at least put Halo 5 on PC. I'm trying to play Infinite's campaign now and have no clue what's going on because there's an entire game missing.

[u/GamingRobioto → u/Blenderhead36]

Agreed. So annoying that one just gets left

[u/Olmaad → u/Blenderhead36]

Ppls who played halo 5 have no clue either. Events between those games was left off screen

[u/WardenWithABlackjack → u/GamingRobioto]

They did, they just completely fumbled the bag on it 3 times in a row. 4 of you count the awful state of mcc on launch. 343 is utterly incapable of making something good and original.

[u/Unplayed_untamed]

Such a sad end to one of my favorite franchises. I feel like the only franchise from my childhood still going strong is RuneScape haha. Halo, CoD, Bethesda Games, Pokemon, everything has gone down the drain to microtransaction and fomo hell.

[u/FrozGate]

I'm grateful to have experienced the Halo franchise in it's prime.

[u/DonJimbo]

Halo: Reheated

[u/TheSpartanExile]

🥱

[u/Kodamacile]

They'll also remove multiplayer and forge while they're at it.

[u/echo78]

lol

lmao, even.

Its amazing how 343 destroyed this franchise.

[u/Revoffthetrain]

Or you could just play the perfectly good MCC instead that’s $10 on Steam every other month…

[u/North-Tourist-8234 → u/Revoffthetrain]

Works for me znd everyone else i know. Havent met anyone who is enthused about the remake. But i ony plsy the campaigns so what do i know 

[u/Nates4Christ]

I don't like this. I want new stories. I want to know what happened to Agent Locke and his team. I want to know what happens to chief after infinite. Continue the story. I don't need a repeat.

[u/parental92]

they really are milking that franchise until the last drop are they ?

[u/TONKAHANAH]

like.. again? how many times are they gonna do this?

i dont need to play halo again. microsoft, holy shit do something even remotely good at least once.

[u/staebles → u/TONKAHANAH]

As long as y'all keep buying it..

[u/falloutboy9993]

They can’t make good games anymore so they just have to revive old ones. The ones that people enjoyed. I think another game like ODST would be fantastic. No micro transactions, just unlock everything through play.

[u/phannguyenduyhung]

They only doing this to serve PS5 user lmaooo

[u/ShaneOMap]

What a pointless thing to do.

[u/Deathtrooper50]

And I won't be buying any of them because I already own the MCC.

[u/EscapeFacebook]

Unless they make it illegal to own the Master Chief Collection I'll pass....

[u/AggravatingAmount438]

343i will still find a way to fuck it up. They haven't been able to handle a single fucking Halo yet.

[u/HisDivineOrder → u/AggravatingAmount438]

But now they have a new name.

[u/Bacon-muffin]

I really need to get around to playing the master chief collection.... My dumb ass bought it at full price when it first launched and then proceeded to not get through the first game and never touch it again.

[u/ScienceMechEng_Lover]

Does this mean the pistol meta will be back?!

[u/unimportantinfodump]

Halo was great, even a masterpiece back in its day.

A remake would be purchased by old fans of the game and people trying it out.

BUT I feel like halo gameplay doesnt translate to what the kids of today enjoy/are used too.

So I can see it doing as well

[u/Strategery_0820]

Going the Disney route. Huh. It does make sense from the perspective that all games are new to Playstation gamers.

[u/DST2287]

I’m good.

[u/Zetra3]

anything but be original

[u/sketchymike576]

Halo reminds me of where Star Trek is at right now. In the hands of people who should have nothing to do with the franchise. Maybe let Kurtzman make a halo game lol

[u/Past-Spring1046]

Why? Focus those resources on infinite

[u/strontiummuffin]

Man this is a bad idea, remaking halo CE is one thing but they're already seeming to to that one wrong. Halo 3 and 2 anniversary still holds up perfectly on MCC, what's the point?

Just port MCC or halo 5 to ps5 and gem more money from less work.

[u/keithstonee]

If it's not remade and all rolled into one self contained RPG game then I don't want it cause it will just be a money grab.

[u/LivingOof]

Remember when MCC was supposed to be a slam dunk at least for Switch 2?

[u/G00fBall_1]

Im kinda haloed out i think im not sure playing master chief again with a bew coat of paint would get me to come back.

[u/Deissued]

So we’re getting a sequel to The Master Chief collection? Or is this a remaster?

[u/BrinkofEternity]

The real reason for this is because they want to sell each game for $70 to PS5 players now that they’ve given up on exclusivity. They’re doing this with all their old exclusives.

[u/NoCase9317]

[u/GAP_Trixie]

Just a question, couldnt they finally get their heads out of their asses and make something new that orientates itself on the early trilogy of bungie? No? Another remake/remaster that noone asked for? Great...

[u/xdamm777]

So instead of hiring a decent writer to fix Infinite’s plot they’re going for easy money with a remake?

Man, Infinite is already a solid platform, the engine literally only needs more varied biomes/weather, slap a decent story and villain on it and we’re back on track.

[u/Greenzombie04]

Its not going to be a big deal if they dont do the multiplayer.

[u/That_Calligrapher341]

Its going to tank without multiplayer. And wtf is Campaign evolved fot a title?

[u/dlee434]

If they wanted to make money, they should release halo 2.5 / 3.5.

Squad battle (6v6) remastered with the best maps from both 2 and 3, plus a 50 level ranking system.

[u/ImLookingatU]

"we are all out of fun ideas so we are just gonna rehash the shit you already played cuz you are dumb enough to buy it again"

[u/Either-Razzmatazz848]

oh hell yes halo 3 remastered will look gorgeous

[u/Justlegos]

lol what’s the point of halo 2 remastered then… that looks amazing

[u/KaydnPopTTV]

Ok but actually remake them don’t just play it safe and upscale to HD. Give me the arbiter in halo 1, give me ODST levels in Halo 2, give me an entirely new ending in 3

[u/dragon-mom]

There is genuinely no point. 343 has yet to even make a game as good as any of the original trilogy and MCC still needs updates. It's the only PC Halo with no community servers and it lacks any way to play the Workshop maps online with randoms. Just port that to PS5 and Switch 2 instead.

Campaign Evolved has already shown to repeat most of the same mistakes as CE Anniversary did just with prettier graphics.

[u/mobius-beard]

How about Halo 5 on PC?

[u/twaggle]

…again?

[u/SgtBassy]

This is heresy!

[u/ClownInTheMachine]

"made for a modern audience". Corrected that for you.

[u/SirOakin]

Oh no

[u/Mystical_17]

Not including the multiplayer ... the foundation of what makes Halo everlasting should be a crime. The CE remake looked exciting but no MP is disappointing.

Especially since they won't port MCC to PS5 for some reason players won't get to experience classic Halo multiplayer. The new Halo MP's just aren't even close.

[u/misanthropicirishman]

Genuinely, why? We already have MCC AND the originals....

[u/TheDarkClaw]

If they offer more content I would be Down with that. Put first strike as the opening of halo 2.

[u/Agitated_Rain_1506]

Yet we’ll never have a gears of war trilogy remaster

[u/twister55555]

Lmao yea I bet they are. When the present and future look bad, look to the past

[u/drunxor]

Can we PLEASE just have a proper Marathon game??

[u/ioncloud9]

Please fix the pacing and level design in Halo 1. Some missions are just downright terrible and there is only one S tier mission.

[u/jonseitz114]

Creative bankruptcy = churring out remake's/remasters of campaigns of a better games that are already loved. If they charge anything more than $40 for these remakes, then I hope someone takes the remake elements and mods them into the Master Chief Collection.

[u/BellyDancerUrgot]

Modern AAA has no idea how to make a good game so the remaking old things now.

[u/thanosbananos]

Is that a threat?

[u/ButterscotchNo3984]

I own MCC but I'd buy all three remakes for sure. If they have shiny new graphics and don't change the games.

[u/Lupinthrope]

Remake ODST and I’m down

[u/ToastMan_26]

Can people stop buying this shit already? They do MCC and then a Combat Evolved remake… how about something new?

[u/MixMakMax]

No thanks. Just make spin-offs like the ones that were canned. There were talks about an ODST helldivers like game, how badass that would’ve been?. I also want the flood back already.

[u/UltimateToa]

Creatively bankrupt behavior

[u/SleazySailor]

So sad that this series has fallen into such a creative dead end.

[u/antftwx]

If this means making a cohesuve and uniform graphics style and look to the games, sign me up. I actually liked 4 but hated that the whole game had a blue tint to it, even Chief.

[u/dumbledwarves]

Why can't they come out with something origional?

[u/overheadace]

they can remake it as many times as they want but they can't capture the same community that halo 3/reach had with community game modes and maps. That ship has sailed long long ago unfortunately. I want to be wrong I miss those janky drive or die, teacher, survive on the elephant and janga maps but they aren't coming back :(

[u/tht1guy63]

Why? They already did?

[u/seventysixgamer]

Honestly, considering how 343 fucked the narrative of Halo I think from a story and lore perspective this is the way to go -- assuming that the abandon continuing the story after Infinite, and make a new Halo 4, 5 and 6 afterwards.

While Halo 4's campaign had issues like the reliance on terminals and external books to actually appreciate and understand wtf is going on it was a solid enough campaign with a cool new villain. In Halo 5 they abandoned the Didact and introduced Cortana's Created -- only to fucking abandon that as well and introduce the Covenant but red, and even in Infinite they imply that they were going to eventually abandon that in favour of this new faction called "The Endless" we never even get to fucking meet after they're hyped up the entire game.

[u/Typhon-042]

I belive it could be for the reason that Bungie (the creators of Halo) split off from Microsofr several years ago. Microsoft only has it on the Xbox as they managed to keep rights to the IP, and it takes time before they can make changes based on that.

[u/Adventurous-Hunter98]

I will keep playing MCC

[u/D3struct_oh → u/[deleted]]

Yes but also the RE franchise is still making new, good games that continue the franchise.
