I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.
Of course they'd wreck it. Combat Evolved as a remake would be mundane compared to the expectations we have now. The game would have to rely really, really heavily on re-invented encounters to make the game anything more than just a re-release in a new engine.
I wouldn't be surprised if they went and retconned some new content into it, though, and that would be really, really stupid. I say leave old classics that have such establishment alone. CE was at the helm of the XBOX experience, which is why it was so amazing for most people. Recreating that feeling has been a huge challenge for Bungie, and one that they never truly ever could. That age of hype is gone, and I think 343i needs to recognize this and just continue to evolve the franchise.
Chronicles would have been a turning point in the franchise's evolution if it had come to fruition, for example; expanding it into an interactive storytelling environment. They've been doing a fair, albeit risky job of this via Waypoint thus far. Recycling old content for nostalgic value should be held off for awhile if this franchise is to be as large as they apparently think it is going to be after ten years.
