It is arguable that without Master Chief, you'd be able to carry eight bazookas, a dozen submachine guns, and 42 grenades into battle in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So the next time neo-Communist troopers grind your hero into the front lawn of Main Street USA, put blame where blame is due.
And just why is the celebrated Spartan at all connected to Infinity Ward's billion-dollar shooter? Because aside from Nintendo's Super Mario Bros., no series has shaped videogames quite like Halo.
GOG appears to be teasing potential re-releases of Konami's survival horror game, Silent Hill, and Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved.
It's crazy to think that GOG will have Silent Hill 1/2/4, Dino Crisis 2, and Resident Evil 2/3 before the PSN. What the actual fudge is Sony even doing over there?
I will probably pick up Silent Hill 1 right away if GOG gets it, I grabbed BOF4 as soon as it was released, haven't picked up Dino Crisis yet since I already bought it on PS.
Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.
No official update on anything?
They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite
The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.
I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again
Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...
The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.
Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.
And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.
Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.
They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.
Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh
Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo
I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline
Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks
I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
A new Halo Combat Evolved glitch has been discovered that allows players to control the iconic Halo ring itself.
Modern Warfare and Killzone are nothing like Halo, yet this guy says they're playing catch-up? That's a little arrogant.
Then he has the balls to say Halo has great narrative that stands above other games? Really? Talk about bad taste. There has been games with more complex narratives way before.
And why is he claiming that controls from other FPS games were all taken from Halo?
Maybe devs did things a certain way because it made sense?
Yeah, they're all trying to be space marines with cartoony gameplay.
Sure we owe it all to Halo. Halo is the standard to everything. Halo started everything... /s
It's like this dude started gaming in 2001 and ignored everything else to write an article and completely ignore all the games that helped shape Halo what it was.
GTFO!
I personally love the Halo series and although I wouldn't say that it is the epitome of FPS, it's a brilliant series. My only regret with Bungie not making more Halo's is that I really wanted Bungie to keep the Halo story going. I love the whole setting of it plus the storyline. There are so many opportunities and the way Bungie is incomparable to a book. For that reason, I really want Bungie to continue Halo. If not for its great gameplay, it's immersive story.
Sorry, I'm a big story buff, and I always feel dissatisfied after a great series ends. Leaves a hole in me for the next few days. After looking at the end of Reach, I felt that it was a great way to end Bungie's development of Halo games.
But Bungie, if you see this, please continue Halo!
More "halo" influenced everything" bullshit like the PC FPS doesn't exist..
