All this OG XBOX talk.

We all thought 360 BC on Xbox One was impossible (or improbable at best).

The same is often said about OG Xbox.

Could MS deliver it?

Rare Replay and the work they did to 'port' the 360 games helped MS build the emulator for the Xbox One.

Could Phantom Dust do the same for OG XBOX?

Am I setting myself up for disappointment?

 

[ReBurn]

please?

I bought it when it was on sale a while back in hopes that it will eventuality happen.

 

[Hitta93]

Saints Row 1/2 were great, I preferred the more serious tone of those games over 3/4.

Plus the MP was actually fun as well.

 

[jelly]

Is that Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Remember that being surprisingly good.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I played Conker: Live & Reloaded on the OG last night and was surprised at just how good that game still looks, at least on a CRT. A shame it wasn't part of Rare Replay.

Likely my fav. Conkers game. I remember playing for hours on xbox connect...(xbox connect was like a free online way to play on the og xbox back in the day, not sure if still exists. basically youd log into a server on your computer and then move over to your xbox on the same network and the server would pop up in your L.A.N. server list) i was like 14-15 years young and my parents wouldn't pay for online but i needed other people to play conkers (and battlefront) with....come to think of it both games had somewhat similar MP.

OG Xbox emulation on XBO is technically easy.

It is the IP licensing that would cost $$$.

Would be SP and local MP only tho as the OG Live is no more.

 

[Izuna]

I thought Brute Force did have 4 player co-op.

It did? Oh...

Hmmm

 

[yankeehater]

Not sure why so many people like that game lol.

Best maps of any mp shooter. My wife and I have been playing it every night since it came to bc. It is such a great game.

 

[Backlogger]

Agreed, was my favorite COD game for MP. Never really got into any others. I may have to pick it up again someday.

Better maps than MW 1/2?

I always preferred IW CODs over Treyarch in almost every aspect.

Conker is in the rare replay bundle.

The OG xbox version isn't, which is what he's talking about. Would have been nice to see it get the Grabbed by the Ghoulies treatment.

So it's the N64 version? That'd explain why it felt different control wise

 

[fernoca]

Yeah. The Xbox version is a remaster of sorts with improved visuals, more censorship and a different multiplayer mode.

Yes overall I would say it has the best maps. I really don't think there is a bad one in the bunch. Even Nuketown can be really fun even though it is so small. I could play raid and hijacked all night long and never get bored of them.

 

[scitek]

Why the FUCK are the Project Gotham games not backward compatible yet?

Even the worst maps in BO2 are about as good as the decent maps in from any other COD. The DLC is really good too.

 

[Sunset Samurai]

Too much nostalgia and child hood memories i love it

 

[willbsn13]

Licensing

 

[im_dany]

BO2 was too much spray and pray for my tastes, and I hated how they tried to force us that crap 3-lane map design when it clearly wasn't working in COD.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Plus Activision.

 

[TheKeyPit]

Remember me, pls.

 

[Black Mantis]

Microsoft own the PGR IP outright, how could Activision be a factor?

[maxcriden]

I was interested in playing Dust: An Elysian Tale and just saw that it is on 360! Is it compatible with XB1? And if not, any word on whether it will become so?

 

[Izuna]

Can't wait for Ninja Gaiden 2 tomorrow!!

 

[meirl]

I loved PGR3. One of the best racing games I ever Played.

 

[Thanati]

One of my favorite original Xbox games. Such a great game!

 

[Bizzquik]

Ugh.
Please STOP posting original Xbox gifs and boxart. ...Its hitting me right in the nostalgia pangs and causing me to dream dreams that cannot be...

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

I think OG Xbox would be ports if anything, not actual direct emulation. Hopefully with the work they have done on Phantom Dust they have developed a simple pipeline for converting the games.

 

[KingV]

It did.

And that Buffy game is much better than that gif is making it seem.

Yes. Buffy had very solid combat for its time.

Without question. I would gladly buy a remastered version that is just NGB with no other changes.

Forza 2

Forza games? Licensing hell with cars
Crackdown? That'll happen just before 3 releases. They're holding those 2 back intentionally is my guess.

Surely they have the licenses in place already form Horizon 3 and Forza 6, Horizon 1 got the BC treatment

 

[Izuna]

I imagine those games pushed the hardware in many ways that require more than standard BC work.

As for licenses, I don't know. Would love to seem them, though.

Did the older Forza Motorsport games have licensed music?

Hardware being pushed? You do know Horizon is probably pushing the 360 to it's absolute limits so I really don't think that's a problem.

Sure, but from what I can gather from the podcasts, the emulation is customised on a per game basis (at least in many cases). The solid 60fps Forza Motorsport games could be taking up every scrap of resource on the 360. How efficient they are at ddoing so doesn't matter.

 

[Synth]

The first 4 Forza Motorsports games have a bunch of licensed music also.

There it is. There's the GAF i love....
