See ive been thinking about getting the reiagined halo games.. is it not worth it if I have the master chief collection?
Probably not worth it at full price. On sale why not. But it'd have to be a pretty good sale, since
MCC has been down to $10 pretty often in the last 6-7 years. I'm certainly not grabbing it until it gets super-cheap. I've played all the
Halo games to death since 2001, the remake is still essentially just
Halo 1 all over again, with some new elements and a few new missions. That's not worth $50 to me. And this would be the 2nd time they've done a graphical "upgrade" to the game (first time with the
Anniversary remaster, which is also in
MCC), so that in itself isn't something new either. I'd be playing the game just to see how UE5 and the lighting, art, and engine differences change the mood, atmosphere, and gameplay experience of a game I already know well. I'm sure I will appreciate changes like the ones made to the infamous level
The Library. And I'm interested to see if 343i/Halo Studios/whatever-the-f*ck-they-are-called-now can capture the Bungie magic of stuff like the weapon feel and gunplay on a completely different engine.
There's also been some complaints about various things with the remake here and there, like this recently:
https://www.eurogamer.net/halo-camp...ons-are-making-the-42-skull-grind-a-real-bore
Or how the NPC AI is worse (which is understandable considering programming legends like Chris Butcher were not involved in this remake).
As for first-timers who have never played
Halo 1 or any
Halo game, again it's hard to argue against the value of
MCC. I would tell them to just go grab
MCC on sale instead.
