They put trees in the landing\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/m9xNFIBL7S<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cantworkitout\/status\/1981927318752039135\">October 25, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"see-more__filter\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Commenters gathered in the replies to compare the new footage with their experiences of the Xbox original. Washington Post games critic Gene Park <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/GenePark\/status\/1981944703789469778\" target=\"_blank\">concurred<\/a> with Griesemer&#8217;s note about the Warthog: &#8220;That&#8217;s why I felt like my runs were so short. Because they were just drivable. Those rocks were part of the rhythms of the adventure, forcing us to walk and explore and be intimidated by the slow-moving, hulking hunters.&#8221; Griesemer <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/32nds\/status\/1981959132082274764\" target=\"_blank\">replied<\/a>: &#8220;It\u2019s like the dance remix of a classic song that skips the intro and the bridge and just thumps the chorus over and over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When other posters pointed out it was possible to get the Warthog past the rocks in the original with some finagling, Griesemer <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/32nds\/status\/1981997262046933115\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> it just wasn&#8217;t the same: &#8220;That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s fun You got one over on the Mission Designer! The remake wants to show you how clever the MD is. It steals the fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s easy to see his point. Marketing a new spin on a game as celebrated as Combat Evolved with &#8220;enhanced level design&#8221; comes off a bit like hawking Starry Night with &#8220;improved brushstrokes.&#8221; It might be possible, but the risk of undermining its original appeal seems perilous.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a risk run by any remake of a classic game, and Grisemer had plenty to say about remakes in general, as well. In <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/32nds\/status\/1981934406303703219\" target=\"_blank\">one post<\/a> on his earlier thread, he sympathized with the developers involved: &#8220;Remakes and remasters are soul-destroying and I feel for any dev working on one. They can\u2019t win and even if they do they won\u2019t get credit. Bad situation unless you are getting paid $$$.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to Halo specifically, he said he doesn&#8217;t quite see the appeal. When one commenter asked if Griesemer thought Halo: CE would succeed in today&#8217;s market, he <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/32nds\/status\/1981969408525578526\" target=\"_blank\">replied<\/a>, &#8220;Probably not. But I\u2019m not sure what the point is of a &#8216;remake&#8217; anyway. Nostalgia A new generation of fans?
