In Response To: Re: To laugh or to cry (AfroRyan)

: My dream "next-gen" Marathon game involves a REMADE version of the
: original trilogy. Basically the same exact game[s], except with a new
: engine. Heck, they could use the Halo 2 engine (or Halo 3, whatever).
I would consider this a waste of ten years, which could be spent making games that *haven't* already been made. Like Duality, or a Marathon sequel trilogy.
Not to mention that remaking the game would prove to a lot of people that the original was somehow deficient; that Bungie needed next-generation hardware to truly be able to bring their story to life, establish a variety of moods and atmospheres, and create an addictive gameplay experience.
Alternatively, I don't like the implication that developing a modern game (regardless of target platform) is such a long and expensive process that you can't possibly risk wasting it on anything but a tried-and-tested concept; in other words, a sequel, adaptation, or remake.
: Heck, simply releasing the original versions on Live Arcade (with online
: multiplayer) WOULD ROCK!
Agreed. Though it's easy to let that succumb to feature creep - I don't suppose it would be possible to let scenario authors get their works published on XBL alongside the trilogy, or to make Xbox versions of Forge and Anvil? Also, would there be legal issues with the GPL?
