M$ does deserve a lot of credit for their BWC efforts ever since they did the whole 180 damage control manoeuvre before Xbone came out. Old games really do deserve preservation.
Nintendo used to be the kings of BWC up through the Wii U. The loss of VC on Switch, and being unable to use Wii U discs with Switch really pains me. ๐ข
@jrt87 Timesplitters 2 always had an overly sensitive crosshair. It's not a "generational" thing. They fixed that problem with Future Perfect. Honestly, 2 is great but Future Perfect is the much better game. Why these writers always overlook #3 is whack. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@InterceptorAlpha ๐ณ I played all 3 maxed out on Steam. Lol, remastered is much more than a "lighting update". The new re-texturing is a night and day difference.
@themightyant Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply everyone was terrible. Certainly not the case. However when articles like these get posted, one side gets game x where the other doesn't, it often devolves into a cesspool of tribalism and ignorance. I strongly dislike it, but I understand it, cause I was that way in my teens, and I can't believe how dumb I was back then to hate an entire platform and miss all of its positive offerings.
@themightyant Agreed. All these fan sites are toxic. Sony's show was really good. Xbox has some excellent releases this year. Metroid Dread is coming in a month. Good times all round. ๐
That's actually awesome to just include 2 discs. Like how 4K bluray movies include a regular BR disc as well. I'd wish Capcom had done this with RE Village. ๐ข
I grabbed Daytona USA recently. Sega Saturn classic Guardian Heroes is 50% off now too. Seeing all these XBLA retro classics still available in 2021 and BWC makes me so happy. โบ๏ธโค๏ธ
Saints Row 3 was over the top goofy. This Reboot still looks like it'll be goofy to some degree, and unlike many, I won't pretend I've mastered the game based on a couple minutes of footage while spewing dumb, modern buzz words.
Screw these influencers and douchetubers. They all seem like carbon copies of each other nowadays; same editing style, same look, same delivery. Blah.
I got some free things back in the day, but I never copied anyone else's style, and only covered things I genuinely liked or was interested in talking about.
I got a 360 Slim in 2010, an Xbone Gears/Halo bundle that was on sale in (I think?) 2018, and a Series X on launch day (that I actually got for $0 due to a pricing error ๐คฃ) Xbox is a very good platform with good services like GPU, and the BWC is awesome. I'm playing the 360 version of RDR now and it runs amazingly well on XSX.
@GamingFan4Lyf Since when did Wii U have demo limits? Are you sure you're not confusing it with the 3DS? That was notorious for having limited 30 use demos.

Re: TimeSplitters Has An Aiming Issue With Xbox Backwards Compatibility
Even the original release of TS2 has overly-sensitive aiming. TS3 improved on virtually everything from 2, including controls.

Re: Xbox Says โGatekeeping And Elitismโ Have No Place In Gaming
Have various accessibility options in your games (easy mode, invincibility, etc...), and let people play it how they want. Gaming is for everyone.
