Halo CE Remake coming this horiday season

[Pikachu]

Joystiq has learned that the previously rumored remake of Halo: Combat Evolved will indeed launch this holiday season for Xbox 360 with a full visual overhaul. Sources explain that the re-release is not Bungie's 2001 Xbox game simply running at a higher resolution -- it's being remade with new art assets. While Halo's audio will likely remain unaltered, the controls will allow for more recent Halo configurations.

The Halo: Combat Evolved remake is allegedly being developed by New Jersey-based Saber Interactive, the company behind TimeShift and Namco's upcoming Inversion, but we've been unable to confirm the nature of the engine powering it. We understand that it's something other than the Reach engine.

The Halo: Combat Evolved update, one of two Halo games currently in development under the watchful eye of 343 Industries, is expected to support 1080p resolution and 3D televisions. Details on multiplayer are supposedly still being worked out, but we understand the remake will likely feature online co-op (the original game supported two-player split-screen co-op).

The game is expected to re-evolve on November 15, 2011, ten years after Halo: Combat Evolved launched alongside the Xbox. Our sources didn't know of any plans to similarly upgrade the recently disconnected Halo 2, but it's hard to imagine Microsoft playing favorites with its biggest franchise.

Well Damn, I didn't expect that. Not sure how I feel about that either... I feel nostalgia for Halo 1 because of how it was, I think I would like it kept that way. I guess we'll see.

Well I hope the only thing they change are the graphics. Nothing else. It was perfect.

Even a graphical change could ruin it. It WAS perfect, in its imperfections. 10 years ago those graphics were astounding. We don't love the game just for its story or uniqueness (at the time), we fell in love with the look and feel and sound of the amazing world that Bungie created. The only thing that can come from a remake is sadness.

That said, I will buy it.
