We may have halo CE anniversary and halo 2 anniversary but in since these games are remake 10 years later to see how much graphics can change and both of these games brings but a lot of memories and the swithcing backwards and forward in graphics but, more importantly will 343 be remaking halo 3 anniversary or will they just stop I want them to remake it casue they did an amazing jobs with the other two games lets see if they can do the same thing again
I really hope they do. Halo 3 was a amazing game better then CE and 2 in my opinion.
I just want to see all the games remaded because it just shows how much graphics have changed

You can already see that by comparing Halo 3 to later titles.
Perosnally I do not want to see anymore remakes. I would prefer new entries in the saga.
I’d buy it, Halo 2 anniversary was great.

I would argue and say why not have both. As long as it doesn’t hurt development by allowing another 3rd party developer to produce it, I say the more halo the better.

Why not have the 3rd party develop new games instead of remaking an old one?
It doesn’t feel like more Halo, if I have already played the campaign and much of the multiplayer.
I think any more remakes at this point is silly. If Halo 3 is remade, does this mean ODST will be as well? Reach next? At a certain point remakes need to stop. Stopping at 360 era Halo titles seems to make the most sense to me.

For me they can stop with Halo 3. I hope they will do this remake

Well my point is that I would like to see both****happen. Have remakes but still keep new iterations come out. Why not have 343 and not just one other 3rd party developer but multiple developers working on these games so that we can keep enjoying new games but also have the anniversary editions coming out as well.
Also due to the success that remakes have seen over the past few years, I see this is as an ongoing trend. It’s just good business to keep remakes going and makes sense from a business standpoint as game consumers are buying these anniversary editions. Even from other 360/PS3 era games such as Gears or War and The Last of Us. But the real question is, will the 360 era Halo games have enough pull to still make people go out and purchase anniversary editions of those games? I say yes but only if those anniversary editions have a “significant” graphical or other visual improvement. That is why we most likely won’t have the same time tables as Halo CE and Halo 2 did for their anniversary editions.
Which is why I predict that with the advent of VR, this will make these games come out close to or not very far away from these time tables. Although it won’t be much of a graphical enhancement, I can see the average consumer picking up a 360 era Halo game if they can experience it in VR. This way, it could also be a testbed for VR to see if it will be successful for Halo due to the fact that it most likely won’t require significant development from the part of the game developer unless they do heavy graphical enhancements or other major conversion developments to have a game like Halo 3 be converted to VR. From this, you can have a Halo VR game come to market but without the heavy development time and costs that would require to have a new installment of Halo come out for VR. And if it flops, your bottom line won’t be as high so your profit losses will be lessened.
I’m interested to see what others have to say about this as I have not seen a lot of talk about how VR will make it’s way into Halo.

By not remaking titles you can release more newer titles. Even with multiple devs, if you have one dedicated to remaking Halo 3, you could always have them work on a new title instead. Regardless I’m sure there is a budgetary limit for new titles, and I would prefer all new content as opposed to remade content.

Remakes don’t really see the same success as their original iteration. Halo CEA and MCC combined sold less than the original Halo CE. After a certain point remakes become tiresome and unnecessary.
As I stated above, it seems silly to continue remaking titles past Halo 2. The MCC already features a touched up Halo 3, which still looks pretty damn good. For Halo 3’s anniversary it would be pretty cool to see some classic content for Halo 5, but a full blown remake seems unnecessary.

I can see your point with having an original iteration instead of an anniversary edition due to gross in sales being higher for new games rather than remakes. But the thing is that its not the fact that the originals have grossed more money, it’s the fact that there is a market for remakes of them as we have seen other games such as Gears of War and The Last of Us have taken Halo’s lead in selling remakes of their games. And with the cost of development being less for these essentially “touched up” games and without significant development cost that you would see from a new game, there is only profit to be had from selling an anniversary edition.
It’s all about profit margins which my main point. If they see that the cost to develop an anniversary game and the profit they will gain upon release based on the consumer want for one is at such an amount that will earn them major profit, they will make it. It’s now just a question of “if” their is want for an anniversary edition to come out, which leads to my next point below.

I do agree with you that at this point in time, the graphical improvements would most likely be next to negligible. And I think that your idea of introducing classic content into the on-going franchise is also a way to go. Which is why I think if we are going to see a full anniversary remake of any of the 360 era Halo games in the near future, for it to be justified, it would have to include an improvement other than the graphics. In this case: Halo 3 Anniversary VR as a possibility. This I feel, would justify the want from the average consumer and effect their profit margins enough to have them release the game.
I would buy a Halo 3 Anniversary in a heartbeat. However, I don’t care so much about the graphics as I do getting another cycle at a great Halo game.
If I was in charge of Microsoft I wouldn’t have even made the MCC. I would have focused solely on Halo 2 Anniversary and given all 20+ multiplayer maps a reskin. I forget exactly how many that is with vista and DLC. I would have given Halo 2 a whole plethora of playlists to give the classic experience we got in 2005 during its peak. Halo 2 would have been the only game brought to Xbox One at that point. That being said, the MCC was obviously the right decision when you look at sales figures and it made the One much easier to market.
For Halo 3 Anniversary I would selfishly want the same thing. Instead of just one or two dedicated playlists added to MCC I would want at least 10 brought back (Halo 3 must have had ~30 during its lifecycle). Preferably social and ranked versions of the more popular modes. Even bringing back double EXP weekends, Infection, and the old ranking system. I would prefer Lone Wolves not come back and be replaced by MLG FFA which featured 8 player FFA and BR starts. I would even be cool with a new game mode like Warzone featuring Scarabs which would allow for microtransactions. REQ skins would be cool as well because anything that would justify development costs would be okay for me. However, I’m a realist. The best we will get is a campaign remaster and I honestly think its highly unlikely we see anything. I think 343 is going to focus solely on Halo 6 and adding new REQs to Halo 5 because that’s what brings in the most money.

I agree with the last part you said they probably won’t remaster it because of halo 5, halo 6 in the making and not to mention halo wars 2 so they have a a lot to do if they do make it
No, Halo wars 2 is in progress I believe and I don’t want money spewed on advertising for two titles only for them to be mediocre.
343i puts too many projects in their hands, once they’ve settled and prevent similar occurrences is when they should release another remastered title.
