Read an interesting article about the Halo:CE (original Halo) being remade into HD quality for Xbox 360, but with online multiplayer!! To me, Halo 1 is still the best Halo! My friends think I'm crazy for even considering paying over $30, but the fact is, I would pay $50-$60 for a Halo 1 HD remake! I love this game, and I'm glad they're finally getting around to do it.
Halo: Combat Evolved
Game » consists of 17 releases. Released Nov 15, 2001
One of the launch titles of the original Xbox, Halo: Combat Evolved is a sci-fi first-person shooter telling the tale of an advanced cybernetic super-soldier known as the "Master Chief".
Would you buy Halo 1 HD remake for $60?
I wouldn't. If it's completely redeveloped in a new engine/Halo Reach engine, I might, but just an HD version of Halo 1? Not a chance. Halo 1 doesn't really need the graphical update like Halo 2 would, and I don't care to play it online at all.
Nope. I'm not paying full price for an up-res'd version of a game released ten years ago. I might buy it for 15 or 20 bucks but no more.
They should release all three games in a trilogy box instead with Halo CE and Halo 2 remade in HD. I'd pay full price for that package. Only paying $60 for CE in HD? No. $20 download tops.
If they full on remade it in a new engine so that it looks like a completely new game and they added XBL supports I would have to say yes.
" They should release all three games in a trilogy box instead with Halo CE and Halo 2 remade in HD. I'd pay full price for that package. Only paying $60 for CE in HD? No. $20 download tops. "Ooo, that's very interesting!! Maybe that's why they pulled the Halo 2 servers?
" I would, yeah. Halo: Reach didn't cut it. "I totally agree!!!! It's like the uncanney valley effect. The closer they get to making a game like Halo 1, the worse it is for me... because all I want is Halo 1 damnit!
I would pay $20. I would also pay $40 if they included Halo 2.
The exact same game? No, but if they completely redid it and didn't just upres it maybe. If they add maps, features from newer games (not armour abilities), every map from a halo game so far, more weapons, and more it could be awesome. Honestly, I think Halo 3 was the peak of halo, basically Halo 2 gameplay with HD graphics. Also, CE is so unbalanced if you play it, the pistol three shots people across the map and voids the viability of every weapon. This post is a little rambly but I'm not gonna fix it.
Nope, even if they added XBL support I still wouldn't pay more then £20. Better halo games and specifically better Halo Multiplayer components have come out since then. They'd have to completely re-tool the maps and add all of the current vehicles, which I doubt they can be arsed to do.
It's story is the only reason I played, not that it was the best story ever, but it filled a big gap for me when I was still relatively new to Halo a couple years ago.
I am still of the opinion that the sequels to Halo CE are infinitely superior, so I don't understand why people would pay anything for this.
" I would pay $20. I would also pay $40 if they included Halo 2.That makes sense. $40 dollars then would make the most sense to us as consumers, but I'm curious what makes the most sense to M$.Let's look at it this way. HD remakes is no where near worth the $60 price point. Why do you think the God of War collection was $40 when released. Same with...-Sly Collection-Tomb Raider Collection-Prince of Persia Collection-The soon to be Team Ico CollectionI mean, if I notice Microsoft charging $60 for a Halo HD, then I know they're just taking advantage of their consumers. Unless the game is a complete remake from top to bottom. Then I could understand them charging $60."
" Absolutely. I'm 20 so Halo: CE was one of the first "new" shooters I ever played, so I have so many fond memories of that game that I'd absolutely sink down $60 for an HD remake, as long as it had the Halo multiplayer suite we're familiar with in Reach and 3. "I completely agree. The nostalgia alone is worth the price of entry.
