Also, for you Stalin, do you really think that Bungie would screw up their own game? The main problem is that they created these games before the event of modern consoles, and therefore the graphics are subpar by todays standards, and the games themselves are unknown to the larger audience. It would also be a smart financial move by Bungie to do this, as the games would sell extremely well, and they wouldn't have to worry about making the story or designing the levels. They'd just have to update them.
Yes, sorry, I did not take into consideration that Bungie would be remaking their own game..... Also it was a mistake to compare the Videogame industry to the Film industry... While the mainstream film industry has become (mainly) about profit margins and corporate awareness, the video game industry has not. Not yet, anyway. So perhaps it could work, maybe I was wrong.
I do however still think a remake would be a mistake... I mean do you complain that the special FX in The Terminator, for example, are 'Subpar by todays standards' and The Terminator should therefore be remade? I think not. I would be so angry if this happened, as the film would be made WITHOUT the Governator. A BIIIIIG mistake.
The game may have primative graphics by todays standards, but this fact is highly endearing. It brings back memories of days of old, etc etc. It is a retro game- the beauty of retro games is that they are ugly, and dont give a damn.
Remeber un gato, beauty is only skin deep. It is what is inside that counts.
