Honestly probably the best of the post-Team Silent games in my book. Just some technical jank and weak monster designs but definitely worth a play.

Should we do OT3 or wait for more info ?

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Free BC games from various regions!

Good question; personally, I'd wait for more info mate.
I'm more than happy to contribute or create a new thread as this seems to be the only Xbox-positive thread on NeoGAF. Personally, I'm platform agnostic (I own everything) and the Playstation moderated centralism of this forum dissuades me from generally posting here. But the back compat thread is a cool place to hangout and read for game lovers with no plastic allegiance

yeah we should wait. Also, there is a general Xbox OT.

Make sure you stay in the regions I linked. You'll have to go through the checkout process on those pages, they should be 100% off. Might be a Gold-only thing? Also, might be fixed by now!Not for me.

Ah, they finally merged the stores. So you can now "buy" free xbox 360 games from all regions without the need to get through the old store-pages with the need to get a regional account.
Well, I guess this is why all the delisted games get listed again. More or less an error in the system I think. I doubt they relicensed music etc.

It really is looking like they are going to pull the plug on the entire 360 store. I wonder if they will still provide access to previous purchases on the 360, I'd think they would have to?
I wonder how many of those units are still functional.

The Durandal listing is messed up. Showing End War screens I think.

Seriously, don't bother with these. One is a game made by msft interns and the other is a Doritos licensed game promotion thing.

On Xbox I've been going to Store>Browse games>Add ons>Top Free Add-ons (show all)
and claiming the rights to all the free dlc from 360 games that have been popping up. Most are probably free normally, just been grabbing them in case any of them are an error or relisted. There were a couple that had a price on them with 100% discount.
Just select "Get" and then hit the X before it finishes downloading so you don't have to clean it up later.

Got an email saying they refunded the purchase for Silent Hill: Downpour. Digital rights revoked and all.
You?

Well, it's been a few weeks since they refunded / removed Silent Hill Downpour from my account, but this popped up today
So that's kinda cool, I guess.

no, it seems they're slowly starting it up again, they even take suggestions again I think.
most of these updates are performance optimisations usually.
the emulator gets better and better and over time basically all games get updated one after the other.
I remember one day like 1 to 2 years ago or so, where I literally had 40 back compat patches at once. (I have 2 2TB external drives hooked up, so plenty of stuff is always installed)

So downloaded the Gold free Xbox game Armed and Dangerous but it’s not showing up that I own it like other past BC games, it is showing a Gold symbol on it and giving me option to buy for $10 to own it. Did they change the 360 and Xbox originals policy where u only now can play them only if you have Gold or Ultimate ?

this might be a side effect of them natively integrating back compat games into the current Microsoft store. before they had a weird system where the Microsoft store talked to the 360 store or some shit.

Is MS patching Original Xbox games to display in wide-screen? last time I tried Indiana Jones and the emperor's tomb on my OG Xbox it didn't support wide-screen but it does run in wide-screen on Xbox Series X.
Xbox Series X screenshot
OG Xbox game running under emulation on PC with the eeprom set to widescreen, see how the game stil displays in 4:·3 (same on original hardware)
That's the reason I created a widescreen hack for the game a while back since I wanted to play it in Widescreen on my original xbox.
Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb (PAL/EUR) TitleID=4c410007
This is the result on original hardware after aplying my patch.
So basically it looks the same on Xbox Series X, so I assume they created a patch for the game.
The question is. has anyone elese noticed more games with widescreen support added that didn't support it originally?

It is a quake3 engine game. So widescreen support shouldn't be such an issue if you have the original "decompressed" file for the game. Should be not much more than an entry in a cfg file.Is MS patching Original Xbox games to display in wide-screen? last time I tried Indiana Jones and the emperor's tomb on my OG Xbox it didn't support wide-screen but it does run in wide-screen on Xbox Series X.

And yes, they once talked about stuff like that, as supporting 16:9 for games that can support it.
I retried the game a week ago and it is still a nice looking game (for it's age). But the controls didn't age that well.
