That&rsquo;s the case with Halo 4, apparently, because the other games weren&rsquo;t amazing or something.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of the key things with Halo 4 is going back to what made it amazing for people playing the first Halo,&#8221; Microsoft UK entertainment director Stephen McGill tells <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcvuk.com\/news\/45186\/Halo-franchise-targeting-new-generation\" target=\"_blank\">MCV<\/a>, dropping a rare bit of info about the game.<\/p>\n<p>The same big idea is behind the company&rsquo;s recent confirmation that they&rsquo;re remaking the original game for an HD relaunch later this year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The tenth anniversary is huge and is a product of great passion. It&#8217;s important we celebrate this &#8211; the game itself was a huge milestone for us and kickstarted the platform in a lot of ways.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But the platform has evolved dramatically in that time, so it&#8217;s worth going back to show how it still stands up as a product made today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The people who are 18 years old now were only eight when Halo appeared. They probably didn&#8217;t play it. That&#8217;s the opportunity the Anniversary pack and then Halo 4 have,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/15392-Halo-going-back-to-what-made-the-original-quot-amazing-quot-Microsoft?p=470470#post470470\" target=\"_self\">Discuss Halo 4<\/a><\/strong><\/span> in the forums<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roots, we have them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-xbox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12740","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12740"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12740\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
