Halo: Anniversary - The Halo 1 remake (fuck anyone who calls it "halo ce" remake)

[ejburke]

Discussion like this is typical of a prerelease game. Once it's out, everyone will take for granted whether it looks good or not. Both awe and disgust tend to get rapidly shoved to the back of the brain and filed away.

I am looking forward to two more weeks of being able to post stuff like this:

You guys can hate on the new mustache all you want, but at least a few of you didn't think he originally had a mustache, so how good a job was that old smudge doing of conveying itself? Rhetorical question. It wasn't doing a very good job at all!

Keep it going.

At first I was like "What's the point in arguing and bickering about it if it doesn't fix anything?" and then I realized "Wait, this is all about venting our frustrations. Rather yelling over the internet than committing mass homicide."

Mustache rides: Two at a time. No weight limit.

Do you guys think you'd be as happy with the final Chief if they had never shown the E3 one? Great bit of psychological manipulation if that was calculated.

[Hotrod]

Right, then why did they make the shitty version in the first place? Just to troll people? Someone at 343i had to think it was passable or a good idea.

That sounds about as legitimate to me as Bungie's claim that the Pistol got 'changed at the last minute'. Bullshit. Those guys balanced it for Campaign and never once considered how effective it might be in Multiplayer. They just didn't want to admit that to the people complaining about it.

They said they had spent several months getting the Chief to look right, so maybe it was just what they were using as a placeholder until they got something better. It's the same thing as having the MA37 as a placeholder for the MA5B until they got the MA5C model from Halo 3.

In plus, this just goes to show that 343i listens to what the fans have to say, which is a good thing if you ask me.

Yeah, definitely, I have this feeling that Cortana is going to have nipples or something which will send this entire forum into a massive nerd rage.

Cortana is the exact one they used in Halo 3. Which is stupid. Becuase she looks NOTHING like that in H1.

Even with all this mustache stuff, when someone posted a side-by-side comparison imo the old and new faces are almost identical in terms of placement of features, skin tone, and overall shape :s

Even the mustache color and width is the same, it's just got thickness now because the engine's capable of it now. :/

H1 Cortana had proto-human facial features and she had that classic early 2000's "We can't technologically make good hair yet, so here you go"-hair. Why do you think they changed her in the first place? The whole point of Anniversary is not to make things look the way they did in Halo 1, it's to make Halo 1 look like an Xbox 360 game. There aren't many 360 games that try to pass off monkey-faces and claymation hair as adequate.

Even though the hair sucks, I like the attempted hairstyle they were going for. I also prefer the pink/purple to the blue.
