Lol :)

I still wonder if they show us the CE remake,how much will it cost,will it be free???I mean revealing a game close to it's release isn't a good idea ,i think .

What? This again? That's fourth thread already... -.-

Sigh...

It is merely a rumor. Does it means you can take it seriously and as fact? No.

I seriously doubt that will be Halo game. Even Frank said that it will be no Halo games in this year. >.>

Don't you understand any part of what frank said?

I can understand if he says that,cause he doesn't wants to spoil anything.

Just like how Bungie said Johnson wouldn't be in ODST,jsut like how they said there wouldn't be spacebattles in Reach,...

It's just because they don't want to spoil it ;)

Why would they turn a highly anticipated sequel into a novel? That would alienate a large portion of the fanbase.

  • 06.04.2011 5:07 AM PDT

I'm still not sure they'd release a CE remake in November. It'd be going head to head with CoD and Gears, and that would lose it a good few sales.

Halo 1 being developed with HD graphics does sound tantalizing, and I certainly wouldn't pass the opportunity the play it. However, I am desperate to see the continuation of John's story following Halo 3. Therefore, a Halo 4 announcement by 343 Industries, would be much more appreciated.

Consider this: a Halo CE remake is the perfect way for 343i to test themselves. You have a source material ready to go, yet you get to delve into a new engine, play with it, build a multiplayer community and overall ensure what you're testing yourself for is ready to go for the REAL treat: Halo 4.

IGN has a list of the live demos they'll be doing and there's something interesting there...
http://games.ign.com/articles/117/1172302p1.html
"# Gears of War 3 (Campaign) | 5:00pm
# Forza Motorsports 4 | 5:20pm
# Super Secret Remake | 5:40pm
# Ms. 'Splosion Man | 6:00pm"

Kinda odd how inbetween 3 MS published games there's an unannounced remake,I can't imagine what it could be....


Wow how did I miss this? haha Well I think it's quite obvious now!

First of all; I never said this was fact this is just a discussion. Second Microsoft is the WORST at keeping secrets; remember the 360 Slim? Worst kept secret of all time. So would I be suprised if the CE remake Rumors were true? Not at all. Third Just because they show something at E3 does not mean it will come out in 2011. Frankie said no Halo game this year...ok...what about next year? What about 2012? It's not that far away and an announcment at E3 is a perfect time for them to build up hype until then. So I completely understand what Frankie was saying; and so do all of us. However this isn't the first time we have been fooled by what they have said.

  • 06.04.2011 8:27 AM PDT

A remake is looking quite likely now. With the whole "super secret remake" thing, then Waypoint haven't updated the schedule to say what they will feature next week, plus the Halo CE figures (that are totally unrelated to anything in Halo CE...).

  • 06.04.2011 8:28 AM PDT

Idummo, I find the Remake to be slim to none of being true.

Why? "No new halo games in 2011."

and "We would be incredibly lazy and unimagitive if we didn't add questions/details to the halo lore." (Said by Frankie)

A remake adds NOTHING to the lore, and is a "new game". So basically you are saying Frankie outright lied to the community? :P.

First Frankie said no new game in 2011; that does NOT mean that they can't announce one for early 2012. An E3 annoucment would make sense if it were to come out in early 2012. Second A remake opens a huge door for developers; they can test a new engine, MP mechanics, and other interior things we don't even notice. It could also hold a beta key for Halo 4 (which is likely). On top of all the other proof in my original post I am 95% sure an annoucment is imminant.

You're true in the sense that a Halo 1 HD remake would provide the perfect staging ground for 343 Industries to test their talent and experience, and see how the community responds to their work.

However, simply remaking a video game that was released nearly ten years ago, does not add to the lore and fiction of the Halo universe. So, from a story perspective, I'd definitely feel more inclined to see a Halo 4 announcement.

You are right though, in terms building a higher-quality product. The Halo 1 HD remake could certainly lead to a better designed, and better executed Halo 4.

  • 06.04.2011 9:34 AM PDT

The problem with doing a remake first. It doesn't show us that 343 can add to the lore in a good manner. It just shows they can rehash an older game.

Either way, you'll have massive hate and love for it. New engine, old engine, gameplay will be affected, and so will some things. Thus, they'll tick off a chunk of the community, while getting praise from another.

I mean, sure if the CE remake did a few things I wouldn't mind it.

A: Fixed the pistol to be a pistol.
B: Show Master Chief's troubles and thoughts.(Would help with the idiots believing he is unstoppable) Show him having to adapt to being alone.
C: Add in scenes/levels from the book, like the raid on the PoA for supplies, alpha base, etc. Scenes could be a mini cutscene when he finds the marine in the library, or the encounters with the spec-ops elite hunting him.

the reach engine isnt quite perfect, the halo 3 engine would have been better, and was made to run a6 60fps, but was capped at 30fps for some reason. the reach engine is designed to run at 30fps, but is still a good engine. but coming from a pc gamer, it feels very sluggish, and i do think they would use Reach's engine for halo 4

I know it does not add more to the Lore, however there are also suprisingly a lot of people that haven't played Halo 1, this could be a fresh new experience for them, as well as a fresh new outlook for people like us who played Halo 1. It makes sense fir them to make a remake; plus all of the hints at it make it seem like a no brainer.

the Reach engine is amazing! I don't know what you are talking about. The engine looks like CG multiple times throughout the game.

am I the only one who thinks square enix makes terrible halo character replicas?

Square Enix is more powerful than everyone else combined... so...

You may want to keep that to yourself.

From what I was told by a guy who worked at 343 (yes, he's legit), 343i haven't actually started work on their first game, and won't be unti 2012 so it certainly won't be Halo 4, but I have my doubts that they'll have been the ones working on the remake of CE, especially since they're still trying to hire people (and are still very small).
