Remake “a project of passion not business”.
There used to be breathing space between Halo games (Halo 1 2001, Halo 2 2004, Halo 3 2007), but in recent years Microsoft has been flinging the IP at us: Halo Wars 2009, Halo 3: ODST 2009 and Halo: Reach 2010.
With the E3 announcements of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (Halo 1 remake) coming this year and Halo 4 in autumn 2012, has Microsoft adopted an annual rhythm?
Microsoft Game Studios head Phil Spencer dismissed the proximity as coincidence, not master plan.
