Halo: Combat Evolved – a remake is rumoured to be on the way (Xbox Game Studios)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Tuesday letters page is frustrated with the low-key reveal of Gears Of War<\/a>: Reloaded, as one reader feels The Last Of Us<\/a> season 2 has been a disappointment.<\/p>\n

The final straw<\/strong>
So we\u2019ve had Forza Horizon, now we\u2019ve got Gears Of War<\/a>\u2026 clearly it\u2019s only a matter of time until Halo<\/a> appears on PlayStation 5<\/a> as well. It was never really in doubt but now it\u2019s pretty much guaranteed. I think it\u2019s obvious that the rumoured Halo: Combat Evolved remake<\/a> is going to be the moment. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s been a date on it, but it\u2019s got to be something like one or two years out.<\/p>\n

At that point any pretence of the Xbox<\/a> being a rival to PlayStation will be over. Xbox consoles might continue to exist, as a novelty for hardcore fans, but it\u2019s obvious Microsoft<\/a> already sees them as irrelevant.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t owned an Xbox console since the Xbox 360 but I have very fond memories of that and so I do see all of this as a shame. Like another reader said, the plan for Microsoft now seems to just tread water for a few years, until streaming is viable for every game.<\/p>\n

Even if the quality isn\u2019t perfect, I\u2019m sure most people won\u2019t care – the general public always prefer convenience over quality. And then that will be the end of physical games and consoles and any idea of owning a game yourself. It\u2019s not a future I look forward to.
Aims<\/strong><\/p>\n

Publishers anonymous<\/strong>
So, Microsoft and Sony are in direct competition again, eh? Except this time it\u2019s to see who can have the most boring game reveal possible. I get that Microsoft don\u2019t really want to go multiformat, but they already are. The decision has been made and they need to own it.<\/p>\n

What made this worse is that isn\u2019t just a PlayStation 5 release, like Forza Horizon 5, this is a brand new remaster of an important game, that\u2019s also on Xbox and PC. And yet they still hide it away and refused to make a trailer for it.<\/p>\n

Are they going to be like this with everything? Is any game that is also on PlayStation 5 going to get the secret marketing treatment and hidden away on some blog somewhere? C\u2019mon, Microsoft. Bite the bullet and admit to yourself and the world that you\u2019re now a third party publisher.
The Bishop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Continued absence<\/strong>
So Microsoft announce a new game and it\u2019s a remaster of an old Xbox 360 title and it still<\/em> isn\u2019t on Nintendo Switch 2? We all knew Phil Spencer is full of it, but I thought they\u2019d at least do some minor releases, so they can pretend they made an effort, but nada.<\/p>\n

Maybe they\u2019re saving it up for a big Switch 2 exclusive Banjo-Threeie annoucement, but does anyone really think that\u2019s going to happen? I think the more obvious guess is that what\u2019s currently happening will continue to happen, i.e. absolutely nothing. Oh well, I\u2019m sure Nintendo will be able to live without them.

Marketing headache<\/strong>
I am never going to believe a Half-Life 3 game is really happening until I\u2019m actually playing it with my own hands. I\u2019d like to believe the latest reports, but I have a very hard time imagining how Valve is going to promote this.<\/p>\n

Is it going to be on consoles, where most people don\u2019t even know what Half-Life is? Even on PC it feels like it should have had an official remake of the first two. And yet a major plot change happened in the VR game, which almost nobody has played? The thing is a mess.<\/p>\n

I know Steam is a thing of its own, and PC gamers will probably just buy it for the memes, but in my opinion they waited too long, for no obvious reason, and the amount of people that remember anything about the plot of the originals got to be tiny by now.
