They’re aren’t something ”you’d put on the front of the box,” but he doesn’t want to ”downplay it” either. It’s ”awesome” like Kinect’s ”voice on Netflix” is; it enhances.
”I don’t think it’s going to be something that people need to be hyper-excited about,” said 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor. ”It’ll be cool, but it’s not something you’d put on the front of the box.” Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary releases on Xbox 360 November 15th.
”I don’t want to downplay it, but I think of it like this - I use voice on Netflix and it’s awesome, and that’s what this’ll be. Something that enhances you overall experience.”
The rather mysterious Kinect features are entirely optional for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, as it was their goal never to force it on fans for the Halo celebration.
”Our mission, from day one, has been to deliver a faithful recreation of the original game, and we remain dedicated to seeing that through to completion,” said developer 343.
”We don’t even have a date pencilled in for that announcement,” added O’Connor. Will you be picking up the HD remake of Halo: Combat Evolved this November, videogamer?
