Original Xbox HD Remakes Not Happening Unless They Can “Provide Real Value To The Customer”

The original Halo in Hi-def? How about the Crimson Skies?

Sony has proved that remaking classic tiles in HD like the God of War collection and The Sly Collection can be a worthwhile endeavor. So has Ubisoft with their upcoming Prince of Persia HD.

So where’s Microsoft’s stance on this?

Speaking with IGN, Microsoft has said that they’ll do it if it can “provide real value to the customer”.

“We obviously have a lot of new things going on, so the thought of re-doing a bunch of things is probably difficult to just weave into the overall portfolio. If you can provide real value to the customer, there could be possibilities for that, but I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it,” Microsoft corporate VP Phil Spencer told IGN.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad idea,” he said. “I’m going to think about it from the customer’s perspective, and are we really delivering something of value to the customer at a price that they want?”
