The Adaptive Joystick looks so much like a Wii Nunchuck.
NGL It would be interesting using that as a one-handed controller, which is very popular in Japan for visual novels and RPGs, for a variety of reasons, some of which I can't talk about.
But the general idea is that one hand plays the game while the other takes notes on a notebook or writing an actual journal when playing RPGs or other games that require taking such notes, especially in the olden days.
@anoyonmus Yeah. There was Snake getting into Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which was a personal request from Kojima to Sakurai.
And Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes was coproduced by Nintendo, with Shigeru Miyamoto himself serving as an executive producer. Kojima was a producer but he didn't direct The Twin Snakes.
Morrowind.
It’s one of my favourite games and it’s still the best out of every modern Bethesda/Todd Howard game.
Even better than Skyrim, Starfield and Fallout: New Vegas (which, yes, wasn’t from Todd Howard or the main Bethesda studio, but it’s practically an officially-licensed standalone Fallout 3 total conversion).
Are we all forgetting that MGS2: Substance was released on the original Xbox? And that the Xbox Substance release came out before the PS2 rerelease of Substance?
I personally love the RE4 remake, but it was the remake that was the least necessary. Code: Veronica would have been great with an RE2make/RE3make style remake. RE0 and another RE1 remake would be great with being adapted to RE2make, RE3make and RE4make's gameplay.
RE5 and RE6 could work well with RE Engine remakes with much better graphics, but most importantly, if they fix the stories with some rewrites and alterations, while bringing back the horror that was gone in those games. Imagine RE5 and RE6 but actually scary. That would be great.
I'm glad the RE4 remake was amazing. But RE0, RE1 (again), Code Veronica, RE5 and RE6 have more potential for improvements in their remakes.
@Kaloudz I prefer analogue audio most of the time, personally. And vinyl records can't really be listened to on the go. Cassette tapes are the best option for that.
I would personally pick Perfect Dark. It's just GoldenEye 007 but much better. I also hope that Rare Replay gets ported to PC, alongside a Nintendo Switch version which also includes the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy, the Donkey Kong Land Trilogy, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing (both OG and DS), Star Fox Adventures, and Dinosaur Land.
This means Microsoft is still working on FPS Boost and Backwards Compatibility updates for some games. I am hoping and praying that Sonic '06 gets updated to be Backwards Compatible, as well as Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Riders. Alongside Xbox One/Series X Enhancements for Fallout: New Vegas. (It has FPS Boost but not 4K on the Xbox Series X)
♪ We don't talk about '06, no no no ♪ Just kidding. I actually want to play Sonic '06 and it is probably one I will enjoy, especially since it is similar to the Sonic Adventure games which I really loved.
Still a shame that many Sonic games have not been made backwards compatible. Heroes, Shadow and '06 are in need of backwards compatible releases in Xbox One/Series. The Xbox Series X's beefed up CPU and SSD would finally fix the constant loading in '06 and make it a much more tolerable experience. Also, I am disappointed that they may never update New Vegas with 4K support. To this day, the game is only 720p even on One X and Series X. Only the PC version supports 4K and thank God and while I primarily play Bethesda games on PC, I really wish console players would get to play New Vegas in 4K as well.

@brn70121 Still waiting for Kojima to collab with Nintendo.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Game Would You Love To Play Again For The First Time?
@Reptilio It's really janky, much jankier than even later Bethesda games, but it turns into a masterpiece once you adjust to the jank.

Re: The Lord Of The Rings Gollum Publisher Had Dev Apology Written By AI, Claims New Report
Wow! The publishers forced them to churn the game out, and used ChatGPT to commit forgery.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (September 30 - October 1)
Is it considered an Xbox game when I'm playing Minecraft on PC through the Xbox launcher on Windows 11?
Since that's what I'm playing.
Re: Original Xbox 'Plug-And-Play' Adapter Delivers HD Gaming This October
The Retro GEM is better.
This is still analogue Component video converted to digital, but the Retro GEM has pure digital output.

Re: Best Resident Evil Games Ranked - Which Mainline Entry Is Number One?
Great ranking, except that OG RE1 from the PS1 was forgotten for some reason.
RE1 HD Remaster is a remaster of the GameCube remake.
Re: Hardware Review: Thrustmaster Forza Horizon 5 ESWAP XR Pro Xbox Controller - A Unique Option For Racing Fans
I wonder if this allows you to swap the D-Pad and Left Stick’s placements for a PlayStation placement much more suited for 2D games.
Re: Starfield Rated 'Restricted 18+' In Australia, With Drug Use Deemed The Biggest Issue
And yet The Elder Scrolls games get rated MA15+ [R] (and the older ones were just M [PG-13]) even with drugs like moon sugar and skooma.

VHS is overrated. LaserDisc is where it's at.

Re: Xbox Exec Talks The Struggles Of Adding Games To Backwards Compatibility
Still holding out hope for One/Series X Enhanced for Fallout: New Vegas.
And more backwards compatible Sonic games, especially '06.
Re: Xbox Exec Kills Hopes Of Dragon's Dogma Getting An FPS Boost
This means Microsoft is still working on FPS Boost and Backwards Compatibility updates for some games.

We need an entire planet of salt here.
Todd Howard is infamous for lying.
Re: All Games With FPS Boosts On Xbox Series X And Xbox Series S
Disappointed that Final Fantasy XIII has no FPS Boost but its sequels do.
Re: Surprise! Sonic '06 Has Been Relisted On The Xbox 360 Marketplace

Just kidding. I actually want to play Sonic '06 and it is probably one I will enjoy, especially since it is similar to the Sonic Adventure games which I really loved.

Just you wait until the Knuckles series goes ahead and beats this.
Re: The Internet Is Fur-eaking Out About Those Sonic Xbox Controllers
The controllers look like they would be really comfy and good on the hands.
We need to make furry controllers a big thing.
If Microsoft releases these controllers widely, I might replace my main DualShock 3 for my PC with one of these.
Yes, I use a DualShock 3 for PC gaming.
