As Halo 2 was never released on Xbox 360, it isn’t compatible yet. That has since changed, with Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 4 also available. The acclaimed shooter was praised for its “definitive” conclusion to Master Chief’s story (that didn’t last long) as well its excellent online multiplayer component, but up until this point, the Xbox 360 version of the game wasn’t available through backward compatibility on Xbox One - users had to purchase Halo: The Master Chief Collection instead. The announcement comes just a few days after Halo 3 celebrated its 10th anniversary. Schell Games’ I Expect You To Die, previously released on Vive, Rift, and PlayStation VR, will also support the platform, as will media platforms like Hulu. Other titles already announced for Windows Mixed Reality include Ark Park, a spinoff of the smash-hit survival game Ark: Survival Evolved. No word yet on when this fan remake will launch and just how comprehensive it will be, but it’s one we’ll certainly be on the lookout for.“It’s a fun, brief introduction into the world of Halo,” Kipman said.Īs it’s a free title, we don’t expect too much from Halo: Recruit, but it should, at the very least, help show the potential for the series in a virtual reality or mixed reality environment. Nimsony has a Patreon account if you want to support his work. Imagine playing through this classic campaign, jumping into Warthogs in first-person and tossing frag grenades with our own hands. There’s plenty of potential for this project, though it would require a heck of a lot of work to bring Halo fully into VR. And, yes, that includes using two pistols to fill Grunts with bullet holes. You can see him running around one of the series’ classic multiplayer maps, wielding iconic weapons using two Touch controllers. Nimsony is keeping a detailed blog of his work on the project, and this week’s update just hit.
Now Nimso is working on bringing the original edition of Halo: Combat Evolved into VR too, which should come as great news for anyone let down by the five-minute Recruit experience. In early October we reported that indie developer Nimsony had converted a classic Sonic the Hedgehog level into VR using a run-on-the-spot locomotion system. Halo Recruit may go down as the biggest disappointment in VR this year, but one fan is making up for Microsoft’s shortcomings with a VR remake of the original phenomenon.
