But what if 343 and Microsoft had embraced their story, showing off what was actually in store for fans of the overall Halo narrative?...

Many Grand Theft Auto fans have been around much longer though, leaning more towards classics such as GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, endlessly wishing for some sort of remaster or remake....
