orignial campaign with a graphical upgrade
I almost laughed. Can you please define graphical update? What is Bungie supposed to do, hit the graphical update button? No, it's a lot more complicated than that.
You can't just copy and paste the geometry into Halo 3. Why? Because then it's not Halo 3. Go look at Chill Out. Then go look at Cold Storage. CS makes the geometry on CO look like a bunch of boxes - that's how detailed it is. And what about textures? Xbox 360 and Halo 3 are in an HD environment. There are a million other issues like weapon placements. Will it not have the entire Halo 3 sandbox? Then what about the new weapons - the Halo 3 MA5C isn't the same as the Halo 1 MA5B? The bottom line is that it's not that easy. You can't just do a 'graphical update'.
Good idea, and I agree - I would certainly buy it. I think it would be great as well, it's just not as feasible as a 'graphical update'.
ok, escape from butcher bay was re-released recently, and they did that really well. ordinary people can do some pretty amazing things with old games just by doing little things. you should check out some half life mods that are out there. they are a lot more pleasing to the eye just because people have upped the brightness a bit, or changed the skins a bit. if ordinary people can make older games look decent, then i think that a huge company full of highly trained and intelligent people like bungie could do something pretty impressive.
i do not mean by 'graphical upgrade' to completely bring the game into the next gen by porting it somehow into halo 3. i mean that the graphics could be improved by just 20-30% or something and it would breathe new life into an old classic
