Ever since my time playing Marathon: Durandal on a demo I fallen very much in love with Bungies revolutionary classics, however some of them have simply been lost in time. I cannot play anything previous of Marathon 1. I find this a shame, as well as the fact that Marathons story and universe is just as expansive as Halo's. It's also quite unfortunate that the masses of today can't or due to lack of appeal or exposure, don't want to see or play these games.
So, would you want a reboot (full graphical overhaul) or even just a practical port (with new UI etc.)
Please leave [intelligent?] feedback below, and a constructive breakdown on how or not this would be possible due to legal or technological issues.

Oops, totally forgot Oni, that game looked the shiz when I was young, never got the chance to play it.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

No, I'd only like to see a Halo 2 Anniversary by 343i in a few years. Maybe when Halo 5 comes out.

Was that sarcasm? I have to ask.

Nope.

Fair enough, thank you. Though this is a thread on past Bungie games, not 343 industries future projects.

I've noticed that Seal always has his grouchy pants on when we don't talk about forthcoming Halo awesomeness.

I would personally love to be able to play Marathon, Infinity, Pathways... pretty much everything... on the 360. Or even if they just came out with a big, honkin' pack of everything pre-Halo:CE for the PC. I'd love to be able to live through Bungie's history from Gnop! onward.

That doesn't sound mutually exclusive though. Any old Bungie games related to Halo most likely would be a 343i game. Bungie certainly won't be working on them. And I agree that I would love to see a Halo 2 remake. From an art-design standpoint, it's the best looking game in the series- several varied environments that defined the universe's visuals more than the original, H3, etc.

I'm not an RTS guy, so I can't really desire a remake of a game I know relatively little about. If Bungie did remake the Marathon trilogy I would certainly be interested but I'd like to see them take a more serious tone Bungie's never really done before. Even Reach's attempt of making the covenant fearsome failed. They were voiced by people speaking gibberish into a mic rather than making them sound like aliens which shouldn't be that hard (use distortion effects and mix in animal growls like any decent movie does).

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'd like to see a PiD reboot.

Hahaha grouchy pants.

OT: Yeah I'd like to see that because I haven't played most of the older Bungie games. Would be good If you could buy them as a pack. Like Valve's Orange Box.

Haha, where'd you come to that conclusion? I wasn't being grouchy in this thread; just answered my thoughts. And I don't ever reply in any Myth or Oni threads. Not that there is any anymore.

I know it's not necessarily "grouchy." But it's no secret that you're less than pleased with Bungie and are here for a place to discuss Halo that is not, in your own words, "poopy."

I just figured that characterizing it as having on grouchy pants would serve dual purposes, circumventing the eventual "Why are you here?" series of questions while simultaneously making people laugh at the phrase "grouchy pants." Keeps the mood lighter, ya know?

Edit: Also, it keeps the conversation from drifting to Reach, which, as you and I both know, has a tendency to devolve into a catastrophic nightmare on par with Ragnarok.

Yeah, that's all well and good, but don't act like you know me. You clearly have the wrong idea about me, but whatever -- Ignorance is bliss, they say.

I would not mind this at all, if they did it well. I haven't played much of Halo CEA, I need to.

This is very much true.

On topic:

I'd rather see Bungie do something new and creative than to have them reboot one of their classics.
Speaking of their new project: when the hell are we going to hear more of it? Here's hoping E3 will shed some new light on what they're doing because they're taking a bit too long in the dark for my liking.

When I just came to these forums I even suprised myself thinking "I used to come here daily...now I almost forget about Bungie"

Usually when I put a '/' in between something I mean 'or'. So, I don't know how you read it. Consider it a typo if so.
OT to the other guy's, I understand by what you mean with 343i's Anniversary editions this thread was for singularly Bungie games prior the Halo generation.
