For example, as described on the Halo Reborn website, some backtracking sections will be cut in order to develop the maps in a more intelligent way. This means some sections from the first three games will appear in different places. Halo Reborn will also utilize a new system called IHUD (Immersive HUD) that aims for a more cinematic experience, similar to whatGhost of Tsushimaaccomplished. Fans can get an idea of what some of this will look like in the Halo Reborn gameplay trailer, which showcases a section fromHalo: Combat Evolved. The iconic mission revealed is more immersive than ever before, featuring higher quality textures and revamped environments while still maintaining the iconicreplay value thatHalo: Combat Evolvedis known for.
The work-in-progress build of Halo Reborn opens with Master Chief stepping off the crash-landed spaceship and onto the ring’s biome, which emits a new sense of wonder and exploration compared toclassicHaloon the original Xbox. This is achieved thanks to the updated visuals while remaining familiar to players of theHalo MCC,only now with an added level of fidelity inHalo: Combat Evolved.
It’s not specified if the cutscenes will be adjusted, although they already look fantastic inHalo 2 Anniversary, so whether Halo Reborn will be on a similar level of quality is to be determined. Either way, this is an impressive undertaking and responsibility for fans to essentially remake the first threeHalogames under one unified experience. On the Halo Reborn website, the team expresses that it cannot promise the project will be released anytime soon, but assures fans that it is utilizing its time wisely by taking advantage of certain assets from theHaloMCC.
