Title: OH MY FUCKING GOD
Post by: Saint Cornelius on April 19, 2007, 01:48:23 PM
Hello Esper,

I have not use the forum's Mass Email option before, but this is BIG
NEWS. Phantom Dust is now backward compatible on the Xbox 360! That's
right, we've shouted for it, and MS has listened. As I write this the
auto-update was not available on Xbox Live, but I am sure it will be soon.
All you should have to do to get the update is put Phantom Dust into
your Xbox 360. If you want to download the update, burn it to CD, and
update the 360 yourself, like I did you can grab the update here:

I hope to see you online soon!

I'll wipe the floor with him.  ;)

Nah, just kidding - I was in awe of how he got all the skills before anyone else. I haven't played PD in so long that I'm not even bummed I have to start all over.

I had an arsenal of nothing but holes. I'd join a lobby, people would go "oh you're that fucker with the holes!" and I'd get kicked.  :D

Yeah I basically just removed everyones ability to use skills and had skills that just made people jerk and fall out of the air. I also had the suicidal Judge of Anubis which could one hit kill people at full health haha.

Apparently a ton of games work now, like JSRF, Panzer Dragoon orta, SFAC, and UC2!  I'm all over this when I get home from work today.

Game is tight, I gotta get my copy back. Dunno if I want to play through it again when I got other things to play now.

The emulation looks good, the game never supported 720p so widescreen just isnt gonna happen I dont think. Orta however had some artifacting and washed out colors in the backgrounds. Its move to 720p was definately not graceful imo it looks worse.

Oh FUCK YES Unreal Championship 2 is region-free!!   :D :D :D :D

The game needs a 360 sequel so bad...there's nothing else like it.

I think I'm fucked on Phantom Dust (need a Japanese copy).  Neowave isn't in stock around here either, although I'm gonna go looking at all the game stores this weekend.  Next up is JSRF...one store has it in this whole fucking prefecture.
