Eurogamer:
"Four major Halo remasters are included in The Master Chief Collection, but the Halo 2 Anniversary Edition is quite the package itself - a fitting tribute to a classic game celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. Saber Interactive returns from Halo Anniversary duties to handle the re-mastered campaign, while Certain Affinity, formed by ex-Bungie employee Max Hoberman, is tasked with remaking six of the game's multiplayer maps. On top of that, Blur Studio has recreated key cut-scenes as high-end CG renders, while 343 Industries facilitates the whole project. So what we have here is one game featuring three engines and four developers - five if you factor in Bungie's work on the original game. What could have been a disjointed mismatch of elements is anything but: the results are remarkable and the package is a significant leap over what was achieved with the original Halo's Anniversary release on Xbox 360."
While players have begged for Master Chief Collection mods on Xbox, Halo Studios has confirmed its not possible right now.
Yes PS5 version confirmed 🤣
Is what daylight observer would say then comes obscured and say dream on fanboy. 🤷🏿
Sony's recent State of Play inspired this feature on video game remasters. How the industry is changing & how much they still benefit players. Mike @ Thumb Culture
At the rate in which we have been getting them, and the selections such as TLOU and Horizon and other similarly unnecessary remasters, no.
In terms of reintroducing classics and making them available again at a reasonable price where as previously they were locked behind ridiculously priced physical copies, yes.
agree with the Horizon but TLOU - I've never played it and the remaster it's quite impressive graphically so for someone who never played the original game it's a treat to enjoy such quality!
There a plenty of gamers who switch platforms and so I guess the remasters are meant for those
There is a new crop of gamers every generation that didn’t play the originals and some of us older games want remasters of older games to play them on current hardware. Overall I say yes it is good. Nobody is forced to buy them.
They can also gauge interest for older IP with remasters and it could lead to a new game in the series. Remasters aren’t for everyone but no game is anyway
Chances are their parents did... and may still have them. That's how I introduced my kids to gaming. They played what I had and worked their way up. They learn to appreciate them better that way.
I don't have an issue if they don't take away from developing new games. It's always nice to revisit a game you loved in the past with extra shine
remasters of older games absolutely.
but i dont see how a 4 year old game needs a ... Remaster. a upgrade update should do the trick
bjt i guess for newer players its a good option.
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
I really despise when DF does these so far prior to launch. There are still patches coming before launch, really makes little sense to analyze now, perfect or not.
Sure, it is still a very positive wrap-up, but that doesn't change the fact that it is totally bogus to review the tech behind a game before the full finished product is even available.
Xbox 1 to Xbox One... Had a good laugh out of that.
Man Halo 2 looks REALLY good for a decade old game.
Looks like the multiplayer/ campaign can drop to 52 fps but mostly holds a 60 FPS, so overall really good.
Can't wait to play this on PC.
