Joystiq: Halo being remade by Saber Interactive

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.

Same point as PS2 HD releases, except this one 'may' be using Halo 3/Reach engine.

 

Alright, hope they do it right though..not inclined to buy the box for this remake but the first one sure brings up the best memories for me,

+1, definitely the best in the series. I hope its a proper remake and not just upscaled/cleaned up version. Oh, and with Achievements :D

 

Remake yeah right. They will just remaster it - the gameplay is perfect.

 

The music oh the music in glorious HD

No, they cannot get away with remastered version, it's gonna tank. Also, unlike other remastered games on PS3, Halo CE is available/playable on 360, retailing another upscaled version won't do.

And why to do a lousy job when it's a sureshot 3mil+ sale?
