Master Chief to return in Halo: Combat Evolved remake? - Gaming
I am one all for a re-make/update of the first two halo games. This is very exciting news even if outdated.
Six Halo titles down the line, it’s probably fair to say that some Xbox 360 owners are sick to the back teeth of Microsoft’s flagship shooter.
However, with longstanding Halo studio Bungie officially no longer connected to the franchise, it falls to spin-off developer 343 Industries to pick up the highly acclaimed mantle and deliver something fresh.
Sadly that looks somewhat unlikely. More pointedly, a rush of thoroughly unsubstantiated ‘industry chatter’ has emerged suggesting that the next Halo game will be a complete remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved that launched iconic Spartan warrior ‘Master Chief’ on the Xbox.
Rumours of a Halo retread have emerged via the latest edition of UK print publication GamesMaster, which offers that the Xbox 360 remake is likely to run on the same engine that powered Halo: Reach and could arrive in November of 2011—the tenth anniversary of Halo.
The magazine also suggests the game is likely to precede a 2012 sequel to Halo 3, which currently stands as the final series chapter centred on Master Chief.
GamesMaster’s report follows hot on the heels of tantalising comments made by the head of Xbox UK, Stephen McGill.
Speaking in a recent Eurogamer interview, McGill said: “I think some people want to go back to older games and see them revisited and I think a lot of developers want to see that too.â€
