Re: Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake

In Response To: Re: Ten Suggestions For A CErtain Remake (Pkmnrulz240) : Actually, I think I would like The Silent Cartographer more if it had : sharks. Especially sharks with friggin' laser beams. That'll teach the : Covenant. As long as they keep the pesky cyber bees out, I'm fine. : And as logical as your point about not having online multiplayer is, I : completely disagree. Halo:CE fans missed out on multiplayer the first time : around because Xbox Live was non-existent with it first launched. Halo PC : was a smash hit. To deny people the ability to finally play Halo 1 : multiplayer over Xbox Live would be cruel and unusual. And Reach isn't an : old game. But if everyone flocks from Halo Reach to the multiplayer in a : Halo:CE remake, perhaps that would say something about what people really : think about Reach. : Nelson's XBL popularity rankings be damned. Split the Reach population by : adding multiplayer into a Halo CE remake. Sure, neither Reach nor the : remake would ever make the #1 most-played spot again, but I know I won't : lose any sleep over that. If there is going to be a Halo CE remake, then : they need to have full multiplayer over XBL for it. I don't doubt you would love to have an online Halo CEmake multiplayer, but I just don't see it happening. Imagine all the maps they would have to remake. If they use the Reach engine, then Reach players would then demand to have the maps too for Halo: Reach via download. Then we'd be stuck with a bunch of Reach DLC. All kinds of issues then start cropping up. If you want to see things from a Microsoft loves money way, Reach is the multiplayer money maker. Keep Reach's multiplayer alive means sustaining a revenue stream for future revenue generation. Decisions are often made based on money and I think money would dictate the case with multiplayer. : That, or make the game $20 w/ FF like ODST. I'm somewhat content with paying : $60 for a title like Reach because with multiplayer there is tons of : replay ability. ODST, however... I mean, the campaign was great, but : there's just not enough there to warrant its $60 price tag. If you remake : Halo:CE and don't add in XBL multiplayer, you had better think long and : hard about the price tag. There will already be a large number of people : upset with whatever price tag you give the game because its a remake from : 10 years ago. To then deny them any sort of added functionality (XBL : multiplayer) will only make them angrier. With ODST you have a single player experience and a Multiplayer experience. If CEmake came with the Complete Halo: Reach Multiplayer Experience disc, then I'd argue it would be substantially more valuable to the average consumer than ODST was. They should charge more for it. =P : "Dialogue can be updated and rewritten but adding new characters, scenes : or levels is a serious risk to the integrity of the original game. " : No, dialogue can *not* be rewritten. Obviously I would like them to redo all : the voice recordings, preferably with the same voice actors (though I : understand some might not be interested, and so close substitutions would : have to be made). But I do not want them to change a single scripted like. : Combat dialogue can be changed (as long as my wort-wort-worts stay. I'm not too concerned for script changes. I'm sure if they changed the script, they would have good reason to do so or why bother to change it at all? And besides, if you could change a Halo script, wouldn't you be tempted? Personally, I'd go back in time and delete "To war" if I got the chance. =)
