Would be hilarious, in light of sonys recent decisions, if it required a Live account to play.
- Well if they include multiplayer then it will definitely require that.
Bruh, another game that has been remastered twice.
This would be a re-remaster (re-remake?) considering Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary released in 2011 was a remake of the original 2001 game.
- Is he now the remaster chief?
- And it plays great, too.
  Unless they're going to completely redo every model and make the tedious levels less annoying what's the point in a remaster?
  Obviously it's money. But it's gotta cost a lot to make it.

  They'd better not touch the Library!
I'm a huge Halo fanboy and even I don't need this.
I can't believe they're remastering Combat Evolved again, but not Halo 3.
Well, as long as they do a better job than the original CE Anniversary, I'll probably play it.
- Honestly, 3 doesn't really need it. The art direction is excellent and just inceasing the render resolution works great. Same with ODST and Reach.
  
  I tend to agree, but it would be nice to play with the nice, rich visuals of Halo 2 Anniversary. And not have to look at Lord Hood's craggy visage or the slightly polygonal Marine heads.
  Reach, on the other hand: no remaster would improve how that game looks. Still a stunning bit of work all these years later.
  
  I would like them to fix the 60 fps cutscene issue. None of the original cutscenes were designed for that high frame rate, they just artificially sped them up which makes a lot of the Halo 3 cutscenes look weird. I'd at least like a proper port, kind of like what Nixxes has been doing for Sony games on PC.
I swear they've already done this at least once.
- They did. It was based on the PC version that Gearbox fucked up and it took ten years for the classic mode graphics to be fixed. The remastered graphics were a lazy mishmash of Halo 3 and Reach models haphazardly thrown together. The remastered level geometry also didn't match the actual geometry, which resulted in things like invisible trees blocking your bullets.
Who wanted this?
- Me
  
  Well I've got news for you. They already remastered CE years ago and it looks great.
