Subject: Dont be close minded about the remake.

Browsing through these forums im seeing a lot of comments saying things like the remake of CE will immediately be inferior to the original simply because its a remake.

I think thats a very closed minded way of thinking. You cant say CE was perfect if there are things that could be improved about it. ex of this would be graphics updates, more game modes, more maps, XBL. The gameplay formula might be excellent but simply additions like these could only make improve the game overall without having to tamper with anything else. Hypothetically if that was all that was added to the remake, then the remake WOULD be better than the original.

Nostalgia is a very influencing factor so im sure many will disagree but i think we should all look at this remake with an open mindset and the possibility that this game could be better than the original. Or it could be 1000x worse but going into it thinking that remakes are instantly inferior to originals just because they are remakes.

Love,

ps - im also not completely convinced there will even be a remake (please dont pull up the same joystiq article thats been regurgitated 1000 times to try and prove me wrong). Its just a rumor until its confirmed by devs. Still i am hopeful and would be disappointed if it turned out to be untrue.

Rumours are rumours.

However, discussing the possibility is not terrible. Unfortunately they are bound to change things were they to do this, and that would negatively affect the feel and handling of the game.

A remake is inferior when:

1) It sucks.
2) Is made different from it's artist original design.

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

I`m looking forward, even if 343i tweaks it but only a little.

Jesus loves you! But I think you're a -blam!-

I guess we'll see at this years E3.

Not my first B.Net account obviously

It won't be as good as the original, but I want the remake because there's less of a chance 343 will make a good game if they already have something to base it off of rather than making halo 4.
