Looks like Halo: Combat Evolved for the Xbox 360 is going to be a reality and shown off at E3 2011, as well as the first look at Gears of War: Exile. This has been unofficially confirmed by the upccoming cover of Xbox 360 World magazine.
Gears of War: Exile has been rumored to be Epic Games Kinect game, after Cliff Bleszinski constantly hinted at the developer considering Kinect for a Gears title. Our guess is that it’ll be a rail shooter much in the vein of Child of Eden.
Meanwhile, the Halo HD remake has been rumored for the past two months. Halo: Combat Evolved 360 is expected to support 1080p resolution and feature stereoscopic 3D. Whether it’ll include multiplayer is unknown, but it seems it will not feature online competitive multiplayer, just online campaign co-op, which the original allowed in split-screen offline play.
Microsoft’s press conference will be on Monday, June 6 at 2PM EST (11AM PST).

I’d like to see how they’re going to do Gears with Kinect.

If 343i doesn’t include online multiplayer, they’re fucked.

If Halo HD does not have Multiplayer, they may as well drop the game and work on Halo 4. They will half the sales if it has no matchmaking.

You’re assuming it isn’t some $29.99 budget game or download.

If 343 doesn’t put Multiplayer in the Halo remake, it will fail Horribly. That’s what MADE Halo so popular.

Why would they put competitive multiplayer in? That would cannibalize Halo: Reach’s MP. They’ll include campaign co-op, and probably make it like Reach’s in which you can score for how well you do.

It’s Halo. They could put a blank disk in a cover with HALO and it would sell.

Untrue. Halo fans tend to be fairly picky. For example, Halo Wars sold less than 2M if I recall.

halo fans aren’t just picky, they’re even more retarded than the dumbest of the sonic and pokemon fanbase. even the DREAMCAST TWO IS COMING people don’t compare with the stupididty of halo fans.
that being said, i am a halo fan.
i hope that HCE HD will remain a rumor. if 343 spends a single second of the time they could’ve used working on Halo 4 for HCE HD, I will doom their forums with an army of trolls.
