Speaking of EDF and being a lifelong Xbox whore, if there's an announced EDF for PS5 but not xbox unfortunately I know the choice I must make.

Did 5 or iron rain make it to xbox or were they ps4/pc only?

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

I'll save up and wait for the X.

I have a fair few disc based games and I use my current Xbox One as a blu-ray player.

This still appears to be the thread for New Xboxen? Goodie. I have two questions.

1) Could someone who has one (S or X, don't care) AND has Earth Defense Force 2017, pop it in and see if it fixes the slowdown issues that were on the 360? (Or maybe these were resolved with 2013-2020 xbox models?)


I just fired it on the Series X, only played the first level and I can't remember how bad the slowdown was on 360 (and never played it one One X), but at least on the SX (using the scientific method of looking at it and going "yeah that feels like 60fps") it didn't seem to be hitching at all.

Didn't have my saves on the cloud so only had level 1 to play with, but it was fine with me diving into a wall of ant-blood while blowing up some buildings at least: https://gameclips.io/DancingRobotBob/3019c0a2-14b4-45eb-87e9-2d4a2874fab6

I agree with the above answers. I don't think getting a One X over a Series S at this point makes much sense.

Maybe watch this thing DF released yesterday that I think shows well how the S is a solid machine with certain caveats:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94O6o6yOGgA

The Series S not getting the One X patches is a HUGE drawback IMO. The uncapped framerates that the One X patches brought to the table were such a big transformation. Hopefully they can redo those patches without the 4K resolution,

Does anyone know how to switch between the 4k and 120fps options on Master Chief Collection? I go to settings and only see HDR settings.

PC and Ps4 only. Iron rain was meh, but I played the poo poo our of 5 and it's the whole reason I got a Ps4. Thankfully there was some other fantastic games on there as well which to be honest the Xbox ecosystem has been severly missing quality first party titles.

2) I'm fairly sure there's no answer to this, but I, a previous Xbone owner, would like to know what games I have rights to before I consider buying a new Xbox. I have no current xboxes outside of a 360 in a literal box in the basement. I'm looking for somewhere online to see this. https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders/ shows orders (ie you paid $$) but NOT entitlements such as free GwG stuff. I can find no such current functional URL For this, and I'd rather not buy a new xbox just to find out what games I opted in to when I had gold.

Thanks!

So never having an Xbox one, I'm actually kind of disappointed in the backwards compatibility. A fair number of the Xbox games I play on my 360 are not compatible with the series X. Why the hell can't I play Vice City on my super new ultra mega box?

I guess I just expected the backwards compatibility with og Xbox games to be the same.

A large chunk of it is licensing, because Microsoft requires anything that's BC on Xbox One (with a couple exceptions) to be sold on the Microsoft store. In the case of Vice City, there's definitely song license issues, as the game was pulled from Steam for a while when they rebuilt the game and removed a bunch of songs. It's not as easy (or I don't even know if it's POSSIBLE) to do that with original Xbox games, so many games with licensed soundtracks are going to be an issue to be resold on the Microsoft Store, and therefore won't be made BC.

I love that every time BC comes up someone (probably you or I) just bangs the table and asks for burnout 3 again.

the Paradise remaster was perfect in terms of comparison to the original game, at least from what I played of it (more than the original Paradise at least) its just a very 'ubisoft' game and lost too much of what made the original games so popular.

e: I just got confirmation my series X ships on the 20th and the first thing I will do for you, American McGay, is play Burnout Revenge on BC.

I'm really hoping with how hype the dualsense is, that they'll final respond and update the drat controllers. I need gyro, so I'll immediately switch to the Nintendo version of a game if it gets a port, like spellbreak and rogue company did. Apex soon.

It's bizarre since Rockstar did actually go out of their way to release Vice City and much of its PS2-era catalog on PS4, even adding trophies (and I believe they did the soundtrack edits there too). On the Xbox One they just did San Andreas because an actual 360 port was made for it (and while you can play San Andreas with an OG Xbox disc it just loads the updated 360 version).

According to leaks Capcom is working on Marvel vs Capcom 4 and thankfully 3 was remastered but I really wish MvC2 was available somewhere. Sucks that the game was pulled for sale from everywhere and there isn't even emulation for it.

Maybe we'll get lucky and Capcom will be able to sort out the licensing issues (I think it's X-Men licensing that's the problem) and be able to compile a collection of sorts like the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary one with all the old 2D MvC era games (even X-Men: Children of the Atom and X-Men vs. Street Fighter).

Burnout Revenge is great via BC and EA gave us good (albeit basic) remasters of Burnout Paradise and NFS: Hot Pursuit (which is Burnout with cops, basically) so it's not all bad. I think the XB BC team said that they'll be resuming BC additions soon as well now that the new Xbox consoles have been launched and they're free to resume the program. People make a lot of noise about Burnout 3 and Jet Set Radio Future so I assume those will be high up on the list of what's remaining.

I played MVC Infinite on gamepass and... it wasn't good. I can't explain why. I loved MVC2, MVC3, and really it was kind of just MVC3.5 but I just hated it. I dunno if I'm convinced that they can pull off MVC4 even if capcom is good again, I feel like every videogame Disney touches is poo poo

MvCI lost the the third character, changed the art style, brought back the not good infinity gem system nobody liked or remembered from the ancient x-men game, and mucked about with damage values. Its a game that is fundamentally ok but doesn't have the spirt of its predecessors and doesn't really get to take advantage of the license its partnered with because Disney was throwing an X-men fit at the time.
