now that the last couple of necessary 360 exclusives are being saved, what are your most wanted back-compats?
Microsoft just recently updated the Infinite Undiscovery trademark so, hopefully before E3 it comes through fucking underrated game
gimme Max Payne 3 and hopefully with online multiplayer again, it would be glorious to see those servers full again also Stranglehold, Asura's Wrath, Binary Domain, El Shaddai and Resonance of Fate (yes I'm mad)
i bought this game and have been sitting on it for 2 years now along with a handful of other games like. >Ninety nine nights1/2 >Kingdom under fire circle of doom >Armored Cored 4/5 >Soul calibur 4/5 >crackdown 2
Even when Xbros have the fucking chance to resuscitate some of their actual exclusives (I mean can you get stuff like Steel Batallion or Gunvalkyrie on any other system?) they are STILL clamouring for shit that runs better on PC.
Honestly, maybe the death of Xbox wasn't an accident. It may have started out bad-ass but clearly with the 360 and ONE and all the fans of these that just want castrated multi-plats Xbox just became a honeypot to attract the retard gamers.
Damn Xbros, I pity you so much. You are all so chill yet so retarded.
Dylan Green
the best 3 Soul Caliburs are on the One X already Crackdown 2 and NNN2 are shovelware-tier

>Steel Batallion Without the controller it's pointless
it's more about the simpler times. i have a bigger list of a bunch of games i want to buy and play. i'd just play them on 360 but the pile of shit broke and i ended up getting another one from gamestop and the drive didin't even fucking work
I've not played it so I can't say how easy it would be to translate the controls to a more popular input device (2 flight sticks maybe, if not just the ONE controller) but it's still clearly an example of the unique kinds of offerings Xbox should be glorifying if it wants to be more than a multi-plat box.
Brody Nelson
This can't happen. But if they did it (even if obviously they will not be able to sell it) I will buy a xbone in a heartbeat
I hope that we can transfer our entire X1 library over to the new Xbox on day one. I wonder if MS will update the enhanced games even further with a more powerful console, but I know a majority of the enhanced titles are already running 4K/60fps.
I'm serious. Outside of a few glitches in the breifing movies sometimes it's perfect and runs far better than my legit PS3 version (although the framerate still tank in the same situations)
I never understood why Square never bothered to re-release Infinite Undiscovery, but considering the weird manuvers they did for The Last Remannt in order to port it on a modern system, i shouldn't be surprised.
That's on RPCS3, not Xenia. Both AC4 and ACFA run on Xenia. ACFA has bugged colors on the mechs though but it's the only bug. youtube.com/watch?v=3HAShRft3HA
ACV's first level run as well, with unlocked framerate
Easiest emulator to set up, just load the iso and plug a controller. Be sure to get the DirectX 12 version on xenia's website, NOT Vulkan (which has better performances but much more bugs for now)
its premise is legit kino it only suffers from all the cringe any 7th gen JRPG does
Matthew Long
I'm fine with just a PC port, honestly, but if they decide to go for the remaster treatment, fine by me.
Justin Hernandez
why did they remove DOOM 3 and Deadly Premonition?
Jaxon Hughes
Fatal Frames 1&2 for BC damn it
Carter Powell
You can still play with a physical disc but you cannot buy them digitally, probably a license issue
Charles Thompson
It's about choice, user. On PC you can choose from where to get components, from where to buy your games, and if you can't choose and you are not happy, just pirate it.
On consoles either you suck it up or you don't play at all. It's a shitty form of contract with no sidelines to walk in. That's why they suck. That and, of course, paying for the right to use the internet connection you are already paying for.
So during the 360 era I played Blue Dragon and liked it but with the spring sale I got this game because I see a lot of praise for it. Does it play similarly?
I just want them to X enhance New Vegas. Also, 50 cent blood on the sand.
Eli Green
I thought they already did that along with Fallout 3
Julian Martinez
Theres no rumble on PC nigger
Jaxon Hernandez
through BC? absolutely never. if they foot the bill for all its licensed music they would surely port the game to modern platforms instead of just releasing the emulated hueg version.
Xavier Lee
I unironically want this backwards compatible so it can reduce those fucking load times
Also just the rest of the Sega catalog in general. Otogi and Gunvalkyrie come to mind
Bethesda did X enhancements for Morrowind, Oblivion, and Fallout 3, ehich all use the same engine. New Vegas also uses the same engine but was made by Obsidian, which is why New Vegas was missing from that crop of releases. The good news is that Microsoft bought Obsidian, so they have no excuse to not X enhance it.
Nathan Perry
The first 3 splinter cell games would be nice Even though they play better on pc, having them all on one console is just comfier. SC1 and 2 have missing graphical effects and certain real-time shadow effects on pc that you can only partially mod back in so having the original Xbox versions run in 4K would make them the best available. If they’d make the OGXbox version of Double Agent BC as well, it’d be a dream come true desu. Also pic related is very janky but a cool game nevertheless. The coop servers are still running after almost 12(!) years so maybe they’re keeping them running for the eventual BC version?
Yes licensed music is what prevents a lot of games from being re-released. Not to game devs: dont license music! It has long term consequences........
For example Forza Horizon 1 is backwards compatible and X enhanced but the music licenses expired and Microsoft cant legally sell it. The only way you can play is via game disc. Knowing that the future of gaming is digital distribution, it is troubling how many games will be rendered unplayable in the future. Buy your discs while you still can boys.
a lot of games work solely using xbox live services and have no dedicated servers from the developer or publisher, and thus will work as long as live for 360 works
Luke Allen
I was very pleased that they released the last 3 on BC this week.....shows that the franchise isnt dead.
Tyler Howard
Thank god live for 360 still works....kind of amazing actually. I just played GRAW 2 multiplayer last night for the first time in over 10 years.....and it was like i never left!
Joshua Young
the "they" paying for licensed music is each game's publisher, one game doing something has no bearing on others. double fine is content to mostly release emulated games digitally instead of making new ports, sadly. i weep for people that bought the emulated PS2 version of psychonauts. sega wants to get their games to as many people as possible, and most people that would buy a rerelease of JSRF do not have xbones. if it happens, i'm sure it will be available for xbone, sega loves supporting it in the west, but it would not be xbone exclusive.
Zachary Ramirez
Maybe they can make it BC but for physical only, that way they aren´t selling it but i dont see Sega doing that
Carson Kelly
>Resonance of Fate
It's on Steam already, and runs in 4K
Luis Gray
They are weird picks I realize, but I’d really love for Sonic 06 and Destroy All Humans 4 to become backwards compatible.
Ryan Parker
microsoft will make disc-only 360 games compatible but not hueg games, presumably because all hueg games are out of print and not profitable but some disc-only 360 games still sell at retail.
Asher Wilson
I want Sonic 06 too. But getting Sega to acknowledge it is gonna be tough
Jeremiah Hughes
sega's current PR for sonic games eats up ironic humor so it's a wonder they don't drop it on some april fools day
Isaac Taylor
Bayonetta already is bc user. Has been for ages.
Nathan Myers
I played both adventure games, Shadow and Heroes but never played 06. It’s like I know it’s gonna be shit but I still wanna complete my collection
If you played heroes it won't be that bad. The hub world is the only unbearable part, so be sure to use a guide to talk to the right people get through it as quickly as possible
Asher Murphy
>saved It's not saved until they port it to PC so you can download a version of the game modded to work on Windows 15 in the future when they take the game down after Koei Tecmo goes out of business >x-xbone... I still have a functioning 360 with the two or three Japanese exclusives you guys pretend like you actually played and didn't just download the demo to play once or twice in between your Halo and CoD marathons
Jose Morgan
I also saw Far Cry 3 and Red dead with the same type of case and label

Are you some kind of internet super hero? You sound like a huge bitter faggot. Find some joy in your life and never click an Xbox thread again.

>please please please i need to make daddy phil happy
Michael Garcia
I swear i read one time that Max Payne 1&2 were BC, was it a dream?
>Outrun 2 Based, which version you like more? There are like 3 on the og xbox
Owen Cook
i hope that "greatest hits" shit is a sticker that comes off
Bentley Bennett
I have it on PS3, how good is it compared to the first one? I loved the first Sigma
Mason Garcia
They printed them on the box art... they did sell a lot of copies tho, quality is a whole different thing
Ryder Price
I only had outrun 2 and outrun arcade though i hear 2006 is best version. Currently only have 2 since my xbox with arcade was stolen and i forgot that i bought the game with an ex gfs account and the game is no longer available to buy.
Nathan Hall
If they wind up doing that, I hope they also consider the combo disc with SEGA GT 2002.
Xavier Brown
>Saw that the Staircase fight for the X is damn near locked at 60fps >Decided to see how it ran on the 360, because I heard it was painfully slow >It runs at a nice 10fps On one hand it looks cool that they made it a locked 60fps, but on the other hand, it looks like pure kino playing in slow-mo
Isaac Peterson
outrun 2006 is the version most people prefer. It has the most content by far. outrun 2 xbox is based on outrun 2 arcade, rather than outrun 2 sp arcade. that means some mechanics and graphics are altered. If you never played the arcade versions you won't care. Apart from that there's like two bonus tracks which are missing from the 2006 version.
