"The world is only three days away from Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, the complete high definition remake of the first Halo title. 

"It’s different from a standard HD collection or iteration, where the original game itself is upscaled to 720p or so. 

"Anniversary is the entire game rebuilt with modern technology, with the option to – at any time – hit a button and look at the original game, and how things looked ten years ago. 

"People may be curious just how different the original and its ten year counterpart are, and OXCGN has a load of exclusive screenshots to show you just this. 

"Be prepared: your jaw just may drop."

Well folks, that is how you do a remake... The fact you could toggle between remade visuals and classic at the press of a button is quite amazing as well.

I really hope to see more of these with other types of titles. Those HD ports need not apply...

It's amazing how far graphics have come in 10 years, and Halo CEA isn't even one of the best looking console games!

Amazing remake!

Man honestly I am impressed looking at how well the classic has stood up against the test of time. Yah the remake looks amazing but looking at how well the original looks in comparison is just down right jaw dropping. I mean the game came out ten years ago and it still looks pretty good, but you look at say ElderScrolls Morrowind and it barely looks playable. Halo held its own!

The game still looks pretty good on PC too. Same engine but running it at a high resolution (1440x900) doesn't make it look as ugly as it does on Xbox 1.

I really liked the look of the original, don't think the remake has as good an art direction. It's just too busy.

Meh, I'll wait for the 2021 xbox 1080 release.

The remake has a very 'Solid' look to it that I like... I'm getting very excited for this, those terminals shall be mine! delicious tasty extra bits mmmmmmmm.

Ummm, What?

i wish i had an xbox :( cant afford one
