Video Games - a general discussion thread — Page 309

Honestly, I wouldn't have any interest in a '1:1 improvement' and I don't think many other people would either.

Firstly - I can still play Halo 2 on my xbox 360.

Secondly - the visuals were pretty lacking in Halo 2 the first time around. If I can play it in the 'classic' mode without popping textures and jagged edges I will be a happy man.

I'm not entirely sure but it seems like the comparison shots that are circulating are both from the xbox one version. That isn't really a true indication of the difference.

They aren't 'changing' the ending - but they are adding things - there will be a new epilogue [and prologue, i think] as well as terminals.

It's no secret that Halo 2 had development problems and a lot of stuff got cut out. The game was a lot of fun to play through but just didn't feel satisfying afterwards. I look forward to a more fleshed out story, even if it's not what Bungie originally had in mind.

And yeah, the abilty to jump directly from Halo 2 to Halo 3 without waiting 3 years is a nice touch ;)

Well then I guess I want that line to be crossed.

As I said, we can play the original in it's original form AND there were things that disappointed me in the original.

With this special edition I / We can have the best of both worlds.

I'd love to see a fully realised campaign with all the cut ideas incorporated but I guess that is wishful thinking.

I don't mind SEs as long as the originals are still out there.  it's why I don't mind the HD versions of TOS or the EEs of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films,so I have no problem with this.

Yeah, this was my line of thought about it.

The Anniversary Edition is, for all intents and purposes, the same as the Star Wars Trilogy's SE, only less egregious because you can still access the original edition - at the simple push of a button, no less. Would if we had that same ability with the SE. I certainly would enjoy the SE a lot more if I could just press a button and see the original film.

If they were changing the graphics permanently and not allowing you to play the original version, then I'd be upset.

 Yeah that has always been my feeling.  I really hate it when a movie is remade and the studio stops putting out the original version on home video.  thankfully nothing like this seems to be happening with Halo and this is just a fun way to put the games out on the new systems and I have no problem with that.

It has begun!

Steam summer sale - June 19 - June 30.

Hide your wallets!

I've been playing lots of Stronghold HD, BORDERLANDS 2, Retro City Rampage, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Trilogy and many other games. Oh yeah, DARK SOULS & ALAN WAKE.

ALAN WAKE PC > XBOX 360.

Ah Stronghold,when you want to fire a cow through the air that is the game to play.  I love playing against the Rat because it is so much funny watching him go down.

Too bad I don't have a system that will run the game,or any cash:(

On the up side I just got Dragon Quest IX for seven bucks brand new and sealed,I have never played a Dragon Quest game before but I am on an old school RPG kick lately so i am looking forward to it.

Oh I thought this game was only coming out for the PS4 and Xbox One.  I didn't know it was on any other systems.  then Heck yeah i can get this game I have both a PC and a 360.  Thanks for letting me know that.  This game has just moved to the top of my wish list.

Google killed my family you sick monster!

So this is what my living room looks like now:



Mrs. O'Five was tired of taking turns, so she bought an Xbox One of her own.

 I guess the first step is admitting you have a problem.

FYI - My xbone gets upset if I put anything over the grill on the topside.

Re: Alien Isolation - it seems like more of a F*ck You to people who don't pre-order rather than a sweet bonus for those that do.

As interesting as the game looks, We know that Amanda Ripley died as an old lady. That kind of seems at odds with her dropping into these insanely dangerous situations..
