THEY FLY NOW???

hey! listen!

Was waiting to see how they’d fumble this one.

"you get used to one thing and then something scary and unexpected happens" is like, the biggest thing halo 1 does well compared to the other halo games, turning those moments into Tutorials is crazy man

Rewriting Cortana’s lines to make her talk to the player like they’re stupid told me this was gonna be a hard pass. It couldn’t be more clear Microsoft had lost sight of what made Halo appealing in the first place.

And even the dialogue that hasn't been changed or recast has been rerecorded to sound smug and/or "he's right behind me isn't he"

Noooooo it got Marvel’d

Yeah, I was skeptical of this remake needing to exist from the moment I heard about it and boy has everything I've seen about it warranted that skepticism.

Reminds me of the Sequelitis video on Mega Man. You can see the thing happening so you don't immediately need a verbal tutorial. Let the player feel smart!

holy shit what? The best part of Halo 1 was that there were these moments of blind panic as your brain tried to absorb new information from the environment or a different enemy while trying to stay alive. And then you could stand there and take in the sights and sounds... This remake shit is nasty!

The funniest thing is putting red ui markers on them. Like, statistically, your main player base is going on forty. You don't need to do this.

Increasingly coming in on the side of "all remakes are at best fundamentally unnecessary and at worst actively terrible". Every big budget remake makes 1 million little compromises on cool shit that served as part of the original identity in favour of "modern game design" and "quality of life".

We are forever doomed to repeat the same old issues

I'm so unplugged atm that I didn't even know this thing was coming out, and I just fixed my OG Xbox and played the original game. I felt no need for *any* changes other than a more stable frame rate
