$60 is $30 to high for a collection of old games... Will get when its cheaper.

If it were a single-game remake, I'd agree. For example, TLOU is a complete rip-off at $60... heck, when it was new on PS3 it was a rip off at $60 (no MP). That was a $45 game to begin with, and the remake on PS4 should (at most) be $30.

But in the case of the MC collection:
4k gamer score.
4 titles, spanning well over a decade.
Completely remastered content for TWO of them
High grade technical improvements across the board (1080p/60fps)
Over 100 MP maps with 4 distinctly different flavors of MP code, hot-swappable, etc.
Dedicated servers for all

$60 is a bargain.
 
I'm fine with it, seems like a stupid crazy task to facelift 4 full games and then have a AAA title within the next year, probably of the biggest AAA titles as well.

Thats true, compared to any other reboot, this is a freaking steal. Halo 2 versus TLoU by itself is arguably a similar task, not to mention you get 3 other games. I don't see naughty dog redoing every texture like 343i is having to do with an original xbox game with h2. 100 maps too? lol

TLOU has MP. I agree about this collection though. Great value.

I'm thinking Orange Box in terms of total value for the purchase. I can't wait to play Halo 2 remastered...!!!

Oh, that's right, it did... not very memorable MP, though. :)

Actually it was pretty good and given that it is only a year old and it comes with the DLC $60 isn't totally unfair for that either.

So you get to play each title's MP as it was?

Only am expecting it because of the price.

well, Tlou is $60 right? I don't see them updating much other than resolution and fps. Halo 2 is getting that AND new textures.

+3 more games, AND most people haven't played halo CE online, AND 100 maps, AND most have never played these games at 60fps. Seems like one hellva of a value, even for a below average halo fan.

Hell, Halo CE remake was $40 lol

I didn't realize it either unless I just thought about what most remakes actually are and what they charge.

Honestly though as great a value as this is, I would rather every single person that is spending hours on this remake to be spending those same hours making Halo 5 incredible.

Thats just me.

My only worry is the number of players. I worry that basically 4 different MP games is going to splinter everyone.
 
343 talked about how it is done, if you look online I am sure you will find
how they explain the match making
