Strange Countdown Clock on Developer's Website that could be Halo:CE HD

A countdown clock counting down from 117 days that could be counting down for a Halo: HD release, has appeared on a website of a shell developer of Bungie maybe 434 Industry's doings as it started with 117 days to go which is the Master Cheif's service tag. Under the clock is a looping message stating Please Wait... Incoming Transmission... Reviving Distress Signal... this could be relating to the Pillar of Autumn from Halo Combat Evolved.

The countdown is set to end on 10th anniversary of Halo:CE

PLease Tell me a reason why I should spend 60$ on a remake of the first Halo Game Knowing I can plug in my Original xbox and play it please someone tell me...

lochdoun5476d ago

It WON'T be $60.
$30-$40 for a fantastic game with updated graphics.
And hopefully they'll throw in Halo 2 as well.

AngelicIceDiamond5476d ago

Updated Graphics?... I can get that by buying a a remake of old game on the XBLA.

artsaber5476d ago

The 1st two Halos were the best games in the series IMO.Several great games of the past were limited by tech of its times, etc. Where ideas and vision may have exceeded capability.

metsgaming5476d ago

didn't they shut down the servers for the original xbox? I heard only a few people played halo 2 and they dropped the server and there was articles about it awhile back.

SixZeroFour5475d ago

-yes, they did drop the original xbox live servers
-no, not only a few ppl played halo 2, there was plenty of ppl playing halo 2 before the servers got dropped and it was the #1 top live activity game for the original xbox games up until the servers dropped
-the article you are prolly talking about was the last 12 or so ppl that continued to play halo 2 AFTER the servers got dropped...they were able to continue playing even after the servers were gone as long as they didnt quit the match or turn off their xboxes

user8586215476d ago

Why should I buy ps2/psp games remastered knowing I can play them on my ps2/psp please somebody explain to me

Giant_Chibi5476d ago

Because it will be in 1080p resolution with anti-aliasing and it will have ps3 exclusive content, the game will be transferable between psp to ps3, it will have 3d support and the most important feature of all, a second analog stick through DUALSHOCK 3 SUPPORT.

I know you're question may have been rhetorical, but hey, you asked.

Menech5476d ago

Remastered PS2 games are often in 720p on the PS3.

If you want 1080p you need PCSX2 for the PC, and before people go "WHINE PIRACY" I own the original PS2 and games I just play them with updated graphics.

RockmanII75475d ago

I think it's more for people who didn't get the game on PS2/PSP and would rather play the upgraded version than the original.

tplarkin75476d ago

Commence Halo shovel-ware. Sequels should always stop at number three.

Giant_Chibi5476d ago

But, by that logic, we would have never gotten resident evil 4.

user8586215476d ago

and we wouldnt have got ff7 9 or 10

Convas5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

Great! Won't be seeing you in God of War 4 or Metal Gear Solid 5 threads then right?

SixZeroFour5475d ago

kinda curious as to what your favorite series is now

RockmanII75475d ago

No Super Mario games after Super Mario Bros. 3
No Legend of Zelda after Link to the Past
No GTA after GTA3 (No Vice City/San Andreas)
No Mega Man after Mega Man 3 (No X series)

The list goes on

guigsy5476d ago

The same reason people bought the Resident Evil or MGS Twin Snakes for the Gamecube.

The fact that Halo CE didn't have online multiplayer would be a big incentive to remake it. Plus the obvious graphical leap (if they intend to convert it to the Reach engine).

SonyNGP5476d ago

Don't. Nobody's forcing you to do so.

LocO_o5476d ago

Halo: CE redun on the Reach Engine and online multipayer : )

Solidus187-SCMilk5476d ago

Im not really excited about it but I would actually consider buying it if it has online multiplayer and online co-op.

I always loved halo 1 multiplayer on xbox but it didnt have online. Playing online vs my friends who I used to play split screen halo 1 with would be pretty sweet.

otherZinc5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

I'll gladly pay $60, especially if:

Online campaign co-op is in
Online multi-player is in
And
Firefight Mode is in

This would be well worth $60!

Muffins12235476d ago

re ramped graphics,more features(4 player co-op) more missions or different missions compared to last ones.New features.Vie it in theater.And have a whole new multi-player.

lategamer5475d ago

Updated Graphics, Online Co-Op, Achievements, and Classic Xbox Live Multiplayer? (I would assume they would put those in, if not fail, unless it contains some new Reach mappacks ala ODST)

hoolesy5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

Omg please yes. Make it so. Bit not just an HD uprate. We want the Reach polygons all over halo! Imagine the Silent Cartographer's beach or the Control Room's vast snowy banshee flying. Bring it on!!

Raven_Nomad5476d ago

I cannot wait! It turns a mediocre year for 360 core fans into an amazing year. Halo CE and Gears Of War 3... Who could ask for more? Would love to play some Halo CE online!

LocO_o5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

"It turns a mediocre year for 360 core fans into an amazing year"

You should also change your mediocre football team or send an email to the GM asking him to fire Flaco.

Go Pats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raven_Nomad5476d ago

Ya, I wish my team could blow the best record in the NFL year after year.

How many SuperBowls have the Pats won since they got caught cheating? Oh yeah, zero.

As for my team, I hardly call 3 straight playoff appearances and 4 playoff road wins "Mediocre". I seem to remember the Ravens STOMPING the Patriots two years ago in New England.

I will take a 25 year old Flacco over a 35 year old Brady any day kiddo.

AngelicIceDiamond5476d ago

See nobody can tell me its ridiculous. Its a HUUUUGE waste of time and money Make Halo 4 and I'll buy that. A Halo 1 remake is a way to steal you're money.

Munky5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

Don't buy it then, it's that simple. The millions of fans that do want this game will buy it.

AngelicIceDiamond5476d ago

Fair enoough a Halo 4 is more worth an announcment than a simple remake but I'll agree with you're comment.

Munky5476d ago (Edited 5476d ago )

We don't even know what this countdown is for yet, it might even be for H4. One thing is for sure, Halo:CE HD and Halo 4 are coming eventually and as a Halo fan (not just games but fiction) I'm very happy.

CherryLu-Chan5476d ago

Dear Lord this has made me excited.

One of my top 5 games ever, with a potential remake. I'm excited to see if they can conjour the same magic that the original exuded, how they can push it further with new polish and sparkle.

And announcing it 117 days early. Perfect.

Can't wait. Really can't wait! ^-^

Goodguy01216d ago

I expect this to be announced pretty soon. Can't wait, this game was awesome. I wonder how of a remake it'll be though, hopefully not a remaster because we already have that lol.

S2Killinit216d ago

It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else its not my cup of tea.

hennessey86216d ago

it will be running on unreal engine 5, so it will look good. The question is will it run as good as it looks

GenoPurpel216d ago

I think they teased it a few months back when they announced Halo studios. It does look quite incredible graphically but as Hennessy says above, how it runs is gonna be a different story given UE5 track record.

darthv72216d ago

it would probably be like the gears of war reloaded. Which was a remake of the remaster of the original.

...this gen is getting confusing with so many re-whatevers.

1Victor215d ago

@S2K: “ It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else it’s not my cup of tea.”
I completely agree with you and would add a VR mode as well🥺

gold_drake216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

oh yeh, theres like a showcase soon, maybe they'll announce it there.

or at the game awards

but ue5 only looks pretty. the games run ..
abit weird.

Notellin215d ago

It's being shown at the Halo World Championships which they had already announced a few weeks ago.

RaidenBlack216d ago (Edited 216d ago )

Better reboot than another re-touch (remake after an already remaster) .... but 343/Halo is incompetent now, so .... guess this is best they can do with help of Coalition

pwnmaster3000216d ago

So much memories with halo.
The original Xbox was my first console (actually 64 but barely played) and the first game was halo. Me and my brother use to play coop almost everyday.
We eventually traded in for a PS2 because of kingdom hearts lol

maximusprime_216d ago

I played the first 2 Halo games. That's Bungie's Halo.. I do not know whether 343's Halo is as good as Bungie's.

Either ways Halo is one of Microsoft's big franchises. So many rumours so it's becoming more likely it'll come to PS5

darthv72216d ago

Halo 3 is Bungie's game... so is Reach and ODST. 4, 5 & 6 (Infinite) are 343's. They aren't bad... just different. The original trilogy story ended and should have finished there. But MS wanted to 'Star Wars' this franchise and came up with new stories that sort of just sit there.

TheColbertinator215d ago

You haven't missed out much since Bungie left.

Halo CE Mod Adds a New Way to Play Co-Op in the Worst Way Imaginable

This Halo CE mod allows a new way to play co-op, but probably in the worst possible way.

spicelicka411d ago

This looks like cursed halo at its finest, love it. They need to bring mods to consoles.
