My brief overview of the new Halo remake. It’s genuinely fun but doesn’t give me high hopes for Halo Studios going forward.

    They changed A LOT in this remake and it’s just so bad it detracts from the core experience of what the original game was. I’ve seen YouTube breakdowns of the changes in level design, mission structure and design, and dialogue changes and it’s pretty bad.

    I mean, I guess it’s still Halo, the gunplay and combat is timeless, but the overall experience is definitely tarnished for an old player who loved the original.

      I can definitely see that perspective!

      For me, the campaign evolved title was enough to set my expectations in a way that I didn’t feel this was aiming to be a 1 to 1 remake.

      To me it feels like a team of modders got a 50 million dollar budget lol
