Pgh. Movies. Halo. Cars. Anti-fascist.
I write. I draw. But I rarely post.
Otherwise this just feels like what 343i was always good at: taking a step back without taking two more steps forward.

"Halo Studios" don't know what to do with the franchise, so they're falling back on an old trick. This feels much more like Combat Evolved Anniversary 2 than it a Halo: CE remake.

Two ways to go about that:

REmake all the assets with the same art direction as the original but without 2001 limitations. Make it play and sound the same, but better.

OR

reMAKE a brand new adaptation. Nothing is sacred. Keep the rough story, but design completely new areas, characters, & dialog.

We've had a fairly irreverent remaster of this game, which left the exact bones of the original covered in newer textures/assets.

So now we're getting that again?

There's evidence that the horror tone will at least be truer to the original. But why not REMAKE the game if you're REMAKING the game?

Rewatching this for the first time and I'm just in awe. Obviously feels so Spielbergian - if any movie can be called that, it's this one. But also new and fantastic.

In a time when I'm worried about the future of cinema, I watch Nope and know it'll all be okay.

Oh here's a Star Wars take: it's not science fiction.

Every comment section being filled with "this is what I voted for."

Yes. We can tell by your red hat and sunglasses.
