• Halo Combat Evolved Remake is being made the same way Oblivion Remake
• They've been hiring people with knowledge on old Halo game engines

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Stutter evolved

 

[Mr Moose]

Oh... Oh no.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

 

[DeepEnigma]

So this will be the PS5 version and not the MCC.

Feels bad man.

 

[darrylgorn]

 

[Skifi28]

The ten year plan this time around will be to keep patching the performance issues.

 

[Scrawnton]

Oblivion remake was garbage. Expecting the same here.

 

[Senua]

Just keep remaking classics we've all already played before instead of new games because you don't have the talent to pull it off. Lame

 

[Mister Wolf]

That means it will run like ass. Shader and Traversal stutter. Why not use Id Tech and make it in house.

 

[Embearded]

Virtuous is the new Bluepoint

 

[Sephimoth]

That can't be true, their entire studio is obviously hard at work fixing the Oblivion remake issues.

/s

 

[Fermbiz]

This is going to be a stutter, technical mess....

 

[Braag]

Dunno man, I've enjoyed both MGS3 and Oblivion remasters, don't mind them touching up more older games.

 

[Artistic]

If it's a true remake, has potential.

 

[Saber]

Oh yeah, the excellent and so trustfull Virtous.
I feel pity for Halo fans. They are in for decades worth of waiting for patches to fix the game.

 

[mayham2199]

Never played Oblivion but yea I enjoyed MGS3.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

Oh they'll touch it up alright...

 

[Codes 208]

I'll give it a fair chance. (Especially if that means we're getting our first modern mainline halo game to have flood since FUCKING HALO 3)

Oblivion was stuttery af but lets be real, running like shit is bethesda's bread and butter

 

[Senua]

I'll give it a fair chance.

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I mean, can't be worse than Halo Studios/343i right?!?

 

[Sticks]

 

[rm082e]

I guess the hope is there are enough PlayStation fans who've never played Halo, who will be curious/excited enough to buy this for PS5? That seems like a bad bet for a game that old.

 

[AJUMP23]

Didn't they already remake Halo. We need to have a new good Halo.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Wish they were remaking a good game instead.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Halo is dead and buried and no one gives AF about it anymore. No one gave AF about the shitty paramount show, no one wants to play anymore of 343 studios shit tier games, and no one gives AF about a nostalgia trip for a series that has sucked ass for years. Move on.

 

[Fake]

Holy shit is keep getting bad.

 

[th4tguy]

Should have remade 3. 1 already has been remade.

 

[Senua]

Didn't they already remake Halo. We need to have a new good Halo.

That's too hard

Wish they were remaking a good game instead.

 

[Codes 208]

Halo CEA was a remaster

And it was a shitty one at that

 

[DeepEnigma]

Virtuous is the new Bluepoint

Bluepoint's games are optimized like a dream, however.

This is the Temu version of them.

 

[March Climber]

If MCC comes to PS5 think at least 1 million PS5 players will show on the first month. Some out of curiosity, some due to nostalgia, and some because they switched after the 360.

 

[poodaddy]

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph Microsoft....it's like you're looking down a checklist at all the ways you can destroy what little bit of credibility you still possess and just chicky checkin them boxes all the way down with a big fuckin smile on your face.

This is becoming more fascinating than sad at this point, and I kinda wanna see where this dead engine plane lands.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

I still wonder what it will take to truly break the toxic positivity gamers. You know, the ones in total denial at how bad the state of the industry is in 2025. The ones who say "it's never been a better time to be a gamer" despite actually good games being so few and far between that entire years to by without so much as single 10/10 game, the likes of which we used to get multiples of PER YEAR from 1995 to 2005. What the fuck even happened? Is it graphics progress putting too much of a strain on dev times? Is it outsourcing to India and other 3rd world countries? Is it extreme political activism being shoved into games in unfun ways? Probably all the above and then some. All I know is, I'm 38 years old and there's never been a worse time to be a gamer. I truly feel for the younger kids growing up in this era with absolutely nothing to be excited about.

 

[Thebonehead]

Not withstanding the technical Issues on the Oblivion remake.

I feel like Oblivion remake for me was remembered better than what it actually was, which was proved when trying to play with those antiquated systems.

Halo:CE and all the tracking back on yourself will be the same

 

[clarky]

Wish they were remaking a good game instead.

Tag checks out.

 

[HYDE]

Stutter evolved

Combat devolved

 

[Shifty1897]

That would explain the rumor about two engines happening.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Virtuous is the new Bluepoint

No. Bluepoint makes quality remasters.

That being said I absolutely loved MGS Delta. Oblivion ran so badly on PS5 that it made me feel nauseous and I dropped it after 2 hours or so.

Those gamers aren't playing these games nor are they focused on just these games. They're not solely sticking to AAA and big I.P. and they aren't waiting on those old guard companies to hand them scraps of content. They have moved on.

What the fuck even happened? Is it graphics progress putting too much of a strain on dev times? Is it outsourcing to India and other 3rd world countries? Is it extreme political activism being shoved into games in unfun ways? Probably all the above and then some.

Xbox as a whole has had a direction and management issue for years. Someone else can answer the rest of this, I'm sure they will give the usual cultural talking points that will be a satisfactory answer.

All I know is, I'm 38 years old and there's never been a worse time to be a gamer. I truly feel for the younger kids growing up in this era with absolutely nothing to be excited about.

The younger kids aren't paying attention to this and they don't care. The only reason they even hear about some of it is because our generation (their parents and uncles/aunts) is using most of our energy to complain about it.

 

[Syphon Filter]

how many times are they gonna remake CE. no creativity...

 

[Mister Wolf]

Most of us have played through Halo 1 so many times solo and co-op. Finding it hard to care about this. Out the gate I would only consider it on a deep sale. $25 - 30.

 

[IDKFA]

So this will be the PS5 version and not the MCC.

Feels bad man.

Maybe. It could be both.

Next month, Halo Studios are revealing the Halo projects they have in the pipeline.

Halo Studios Teases 'Deep Dive' on What It's Been Working on at an October Panel 'You Won't Want to Miss' - IGN

Halo Studios looks set to unveil more of what it’s been working on in October.

www.ign.com

It could be this remake, as well as the MCC collection for PS5 and Switch. Maybe a surprise as well like Halo Wars 3.

 

[Codes 208]

yes, the anniversary remaster ran pretty poorly with its stutter issues and it was using the pc version as a basis which had issues with its ui compared to the original xbox (plus missing effects in classic graphics mode)

On top of that, I hated the artstyle. They made the backgrounds busy and darker with that blue filter, and enemies frequently blended in making focusing difficult.

Whenever i play cea on mcc (which performance wise runs waaay better) i just stick either classic graphics for the aforementioned reasons.

Halo 5 also had similar issues, too much shit happening on screen at once with overly complicated designs in the background

I like your optimism.

I just don't have much faith in this industry at the moment.

To be honest, I have never believed that MCC would make it to the PS5.

Nate the Hate did say it would happen, but I don't think he's right 100% of the time and as it stands, he might have got the MCC rumour wrong.

We'll find out next month. If it doesn't get announced at this event then it's not happening.
