by Are you ready for a Halo flood in the next couple of years?
Details are vague, but sources close to Engadget are reporting that Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One will include revamped HD versions of Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4. With a box title like The Master Chief Collection the point is to center on the namesake’s character, and as a result Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach probably won’t be included.
In a previous story, we mentioned that 343 Industries General Manager Bonnie Ross had said that [The Halo] journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than a small step.” Is it possible that The Master Chief Collection is the giant leap rather than the rumored Halo 2 Anniversary Edition being the small step?
What of those vague details mentioned above? A developer hasn’t been named yet, but since Saber Interactive helped 343 Industries with the Anniversary Edition of Combat Evolved, the company is likely a good candidate for project as well. Microsoft, who hasn’t addressed anything, hasn’t provided any details regarding the media type (i.e., disc or download) or the frame-rate or resolution. Since Microsoft was bragging that Halo 5: Guardians will have a 60 fps, we can hope that The Master Chief Collection will boast the same.
Also, a release date hasn’t been revealed, but since Halo: The Master Chief Collection is meant to remind gamers of their fond Master Chief memories, it’s pretty obvious that this box is meant to come out before Halo 5.
