Message: [QUOTE="Metroid_Hybrid, post: 356801, member: 40440"] What I find funny is that the original Halo trilogy was [I]kinda-sorta[/I] a "remake" to begin with.. It's no secret at this point to longtime fans of the series, but the initial Halo trilogy pulls [B][I]heavily[/I][/B] from Bungie's previous FPS trilogy: Marathon.. Now was it a straight 1-for-1? [B][I]NO![/I][/B] Sure, a bunch of names and enemy designs were changed, and several story elements were expanded upon. But playing Marathon would net you the lion's share of Halo's story. How is this relevant? After Bungie was finished with Halo, the next group put in charge of the series, 343i, were effectively starting from a similar place that the Game of Thrones show runners were in after they ran out of the original books to pull from. They had to start making up their own material, and although it wasn't [B][I]all[/I][/B] bad, both invariably ended in embarrassing disasters.. [/QUOTE]
