Halo Combat Evolved vs Anniversary vs Campaign Evolved

Campaign Evolved looks like those stupid “RTX On” videos that flood youtube.

Halo's already playable on modern consoles, so I personally have no interest in this remake. In my opinion, remakes should be for games like Croc where it's a good game but the actual gameplay is held back because of the technical limitations when it came out.

So much this.

In a perfect world remakes would be about getting a chance to polish an imperfect "diamond in the rough" or a quirky, interesting idea that just wasn't ready for primetime with its original release.

As we should all know, in practice market forces don't work like that though.

Well-made thing sold big? Became popular?

Rerelease popular well-made thing, with a different coat of paint so people hopefully think you aren't completely shafting them!

Not to insult the devs - as an SE myself I'm sure they've put alot of effort into their work - but the push from the execs will be to put the least effort in for the most , and because it's already a "safe", "proven" IP the more passionate developers would likely find their more passion driven ideas falling on deaf ears....

Note: one big example of a passionate team really improving things for the fans is the kind of remakes / rereleases / modernised ports the likes of M2 do, in particular their Shottriggers series for Shoot Em Ups.
