Our Take
With the prevalence of upgrades and remakes to previously released titles, it's easy to forget that they aren't all the same. Having seen the improvements to Halo 2: Anniversary first-hand at Gamescom, I'm curious to watch this for two reasons.
First, I'm interested to get a sense of the manpower, timeline, and budget it took to overhaul the visuals and the audio. Second, I imagine there will be some discussion about covering the gameplay originally designed to run on the Xbox for compatibility with the Xbox One. This is a documentary, so much of this is likely to be sanitized, but it's more than we often get.
