Wow people are giving MS a hard time for doing a single remake and maybe hinting at a second? This is the first remake MS has ever done for a game besides some XBLA's. How many times have Sony and Nintendo especially Nintendo have done remakes before?




Are you talking about the HD ports? You realize the majority of PS3 owners can't play PS2 games, so HD ports of said game are welcomed.

Whatever buddy, make it jusifable for Nintendo and Sony to do ports/remakes, but MS does it once and they get backlashed for it.  Who fault is it for not letting games be backward compatable on Ps3? Umm Sony and they charge you $60 for it every time they do a collection. Stop acting like Sony is gods child and MS is evil because both have the same exact intentions.   

$40 not $60.

And they are usually a collection meaning more than one game.

Not to mention Sony has made only two collections yet, God of war collection and sly cooper collection and they did it before God of War 3 released, [and before the new sly cooper is released] so it actually made some sense.

And they are doing the same thing with Ico and SOTC collection before The Last Guardian.

MS has also done Perfect Dark HD haven't they? So this isn't their second.

And MS is only making Halo remakes nothing else. I mean they are pretty much making only Halo outside of kinect right now, hard not to get critcised for that.

And,...Halo is available for purchase on the XBL. And playable on the 360 as well. Now this wasn't the case with the PS3 collections. And they were cheaper too.

Add to that God of war 2 was released when the PS3 was just released. It should have been on the PS3 from the start but it wasn't. They just put both to get people excited for the third. I wouldn't have probably purchased the third if it wasn't for the collection.

MS has no such reasons.

Whatever the pricing is off, my bad.

Sony plans on doing two more collections ICO&shadow along with PSP collection of God of war this year so a total of four.

It also makes sense to do a remake of CE because Halo:Reach ends right where CE starts. 

Like I said in a previous post MS has done some remakes on XBLA that cost $10 like Perfect dark.  

MS is only doing one game, but they are adding a lot new content like co-op over XBL, Kinect feature, Achievements, adding terminals, 7 Multiplayer maps and using the Reach engine so I think that warrents $40.

MS does have a reason behind this because fans of Halo have been asking for a remake for a long time so they are doing it as a fan service. Believe it or not there are a lot of people that own 360's that have never played Halo: CE and this would be the perfect time to jump on this. 

Don't get me wrong I have nothing against doing ports and remakes, but for people to say it's ok for Sony to do them and MS not to is obsurd.
