Lots of people have been talking about Marathon lately (not that there's anything wrong with that), but what about PID? I recently came across a VERY specific guide to the whole game, and decided to read it. PID's storyline is as good as Halo's hands down, as well as Marathon's. It is unfortunate only one game was made. Wouldnt it be awesome awesome/cool if PID was brought back with Halo 2 graphics, and they used the same thing of needing to talk to dead people??!! God, Bungie kicks so much ass. The more I learn about them, the more remakes/sequals I want of thier older games.

The problem is you coudln't really do a proper sequel to PID - the story is completely wrapped up as far as the same type of gameplay (dungeon crawling, talking to the dead, etc) is concerned. I suppose you *might* be able to do something set two years later in '96 involving the Jjaro's "more permanant measures"...

the truth is, gaming culture these days is more run around and blow -blam!- up. most lil kids (who are the big game buyers) aren't interested in story, they like explosions and graphic detail. the other major consumer of games these days, believe it or not, is middle aged women (house wives) who find they have little to do so they play games :P
sure it'd be good for bungie to rerelease all their games, but it probably wouldn't work, and reworking the game may even ruin it for people who played it originally.
The closest thing you'll be able to find to a re-release of any bungie games is the uncoming mod for Unreal Tournament (the original, not 2003/2004) called Marathon; Resurrection.
