The very definition of milking a legion of willing and desiring sheep.


No, that would be Activision.

Halo and Halo 2 have been  very long-requested remakes--I'm surpried they held out this long.


Wrong. FF7 is a long requested remake. Halo CE: emake is just another quick cashin. TBH, with the remakes and a brand new Halo trilogy, I doubt that the universe will ever have any chance of becomming the top dog of FPSs ever again. Just admit it MS, you are doing it for the money, and if the first remake sells you will remake the second one to...

Obviously they're doing it for money--no corporation is a philanthropist.  You think if FF7 was remade, they'd be doing it 'for the fans'?  No, they'd be doing it for the dollars.

You and I agree that the franchise's days as the top-selling FPS in the industry are over.  Fans have been asking for a remake of the first Halo, with Live support, for a long time.  And if they're going to make that one, then that would make Halo 2 the only game in the franchise that has not appeared on the 360--that would just be stupid.

Also, it's not like Microsoft is the only company that's enjoyed putting more spit and polish on an old game this generation.  God of War Collection (two of them actually), Metroid Prime Trilogy, Splinter Cell HD Collection, Final Fantasy 3, Final Fantasy 4, Prince of Persia Trilogy, Mario All-Stars Wii, endless New Play Control games--this is only the first (and now possibly, second) time Microsoft has done this (with the exception of a couple XBLA N64 games).

Again, obviously it's for the money, but that doesn't make Microsoft more 'greedy and evil' than any other corporation.


I totally agree with you. I just hate the attitude of companies when they try to make it out like they are actually doing it for the fans. Do you honestly think that anyone would be offended if they would simply admit that they are doing it because its a good financial decision? Hell no! IMO fans would love it even more, mainly because they would get treated like adults and not brainless idiots
