stepee Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Conker Live and Reloaded (prefer this to the n64 one in Rare Replay) Crimson Skies I guess Outrun 2 didn’t make the cut actually but Panzer Dragoon Orta is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jade Empire is on sale I am half tempted to pick it up but not sure if I want to play through it again I had a dream last night where I was in a store picking up some old titles Also I am assuming the best way to play Ninja Gaiden is still just buying the digital version of NGB? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Wow this thread is for me, as these games are pretty much all that I play. Blood Wake and Outrun 2 are not BC - I see both of those mentioned. From my perspective the most essential BC games, and those I'm most thankful for are: - Panzer Dragoon Orta, which runs at 4k/60, with HDR - Jet Set Radio, which is now sadly delisted - SSX 3, which runs at 4k/60, with HDR - Ninja Gaiden Black, 4k/60 - NiGHTS into Dreams, with HDR - Hydro Thunder Hurricane, which was developed by the creative team behind Blood Wake - Max Payne 1 + 2, which are both 4k/60 - Binary Domain - F.E.A.R., 4k/60, disc only - PURE, amazing ATV arcade racer, disc only - Split/Second - Geometry Wars 1-3 - Left 4 Dead 2 I will take a look at my library shortly and add some more. The Xbox BC program was pretty amazing. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if I ever get rich AF I'm starting a game studio and a heavily Split/Second influenced VR racing game will be developed by my team. Is there any way to play shoot Geomtry Wars outside of Project Gotham Racing? I absolutely love OG GW not so hot on the sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 When OG XBOX first came out, it was originally supposed to launch with online play: it was going to be like PC and just “work” based on the devs creating individual clients for their games. There’s early footage and interviews/panels talking about and showing off even Munch’s Odysee having online support. At some point before launching the XBOX, Microsoft must’ve decided to change the plan for online. Blood Wake got absolutely robbed by coming out before XBL, it was definitely meant for online play.

If MSFT planned it that way from day one then Blood Wake would’ve been a much better and more known title. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURE was developed by Black Rock Studio, who went on to make Split/Second a couple years later. I highly recommend finding a copy since you enjoyed Split/Second. It's a different game, but the same DNA is there. Geometry Wars 1 is available and is essentially identical to the version in PGR. Geometry Wars 3 I actually think is very underrated, and it's my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really into ATV games but I will see if I can grab a used copy to try it out at least. I will have to get 1 and I already have the other Geometry Wars me and @Chairslinger were near the top of the leaderboard on the original GW and I am pretty sure he got really high up on some of the sequels. Oh, I also picked up Control Ultimate edition since it was on such a steep discount while I already have it on PC from free giveaways my comp can't handle that and I've really been wanting to try that game out.

I do know that is why I had to troll you a little Those are my favorite consoles the original Xbox has several of my all time favorite games and got me into online multiplayer games. The 360 generation had a lot of bangers but also Live Arcade which really got me into indie games.
