The last Christmas gift I received from my grandparents was the original Xbox. I loved that system so much. I brought it with me to my two deployments to Iraq and still have it to this day. I have been an avid Microsoft supporter ever since I first fired up that console.
I’ve owned a Series X since day 1 and I’ve had my disc drive crap out on me once already, so I would definitely love a solution that sees me running to the store and popping on a new drive over ordering, waiting, and installing a new disc drive in the system.
@DoctorJohnDisco I didn’t see this somehow until just now. Apologies. Part 1 is backwards compatible, but part 2 is not, so I’d love it if they would go back and include 2 as well.👍
I own both SoD games and they have both fallen victim to the dreaded backlog. I’m hoping to spend at least a little time with part 2 before part 3 comes out…I’ve heard the first is a little rough around the edges.
@Kezelpaso I always wondered that as well. The original Condemned blew me away when I first played it and I loved the 2nd one as well. Damn shame that one made it to backwards compatibility and not the other, but I’m grateful we can at least still play the original.
I remember, at one time, there were rumblings of a part 3, but nothing ever came of it.
For me, I guess price would be the main determining factor. If I’m shelling out $70, then hell yeah, the game better run at something more than 30 fps. If it’s something more akin to a budget title, then I wouldn’t expect as much. I’m not too picky on this stuff to begin with as long as it looks and plays halfway decent, so I may not be the best person to ask.
I absolutely loved FH5, but I would have preferred something that hasn’t been done before. Don’t get me wrong, I love Hot Wheels, but something different would have been cool.
I was just wondering about this! They announced that partnership a long time ago now. Psychonauts 2 would be amazing! Curious to see what it’ll end up being
@PhileasFragg good looking out! I’ll have to check as I honestly am not sure. I can say that those are the only two that I own that I have issues with. The strangest thing is that they both played one time in my Series X and then they never played again. To me, that is the most confusing part of all.
It’s funny. I own about 25 4k blu rays and only 2 of them won’t play in the Series X- The Shining & Batman ‘89. Fortunately, the regular blu rays that come with them play just fine.
I honestly thought QD had been acquired by Sony at some point because of their stuff never really coming out on any other platform other than PC. Heavy Rain was really good when that came out, but never really played any of their other stuff. Interested to learn more about this
Shocked to see that I’m not the only person who voted for part 4! Lol. Not the best game, but I have fond memories because I got my launch 360 while deployed in Iraq and this was one of the only games I had to play.

I wouldn’t buy a roll of toilet paper from Microsoft at this point lol
Re: Pneumata Promises To Deliver 'True Survival Horror' On Xbox This Friday
I’m getting Condemned vibes from this. Not a bad thing as I always loved those games and thought they deserved a remake or sequel.
