We all know that Cortana will remain as glorious she was in her original appearance if playing anniversary in older graphics layer, but what about when you swap to new
I'm all for change of certain things like how well it seems 343 have done with increased geometry and texture quality, when it is you look at the new layers, but will this also extend to completely changing Cortana as well here
The original Cortana had these amazing freaky eyes and short hair. She acted so much more erratically as well compared to later Cortanas and that fit very well with her almost tomboy look she had. The old Cortan is one of the many reasons i love Halo1 and it does concern me 343 will start getting too creative with things that should surely remain as they were. A bit like when films or soaps change characters for whatever reason- replaced with a new character that just doesn't feel right
Personally i think it's very possible 343 could drop the ball here concerning this- in the anniversary video, was that hideous Chief with the long visor really not meant to be there for example like they said? .The music as well of course, it's really very posible something like this could change
absurd for some perhaps when looked at it this way but she is such an important attachment in those glorious cutscenes that it would be badly jarring if she's no longer Cortana as we knew her to be- much like when the change characters for film sequels or soaps- it just doesn't feel right anymore. For many this would be a massive betrayal
Some may prefer later versions of Cortana but this is supposed to be a full fan service for those that love the hell out of Halo1
What do you guys think? and if you do have concerns like mine, please say something over at the anniversary homepage
