Not a bad starting lineup. I’ve been meaning to replay Bloodrayne 2.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #2 on:** October 23, 2017, 10:29:14 AM »

Dead to Rights, lol

I will actually play a few of these.

You can buy these on the Xbox 360 Marketplace right now, they're about $10?

KOTOR comparison

Mochilador · « **Reply #5 on:** October 23, 2017, 11:10:36 AM »

Looks like these games will be region locked. =/
They are not available in my country.

Who cares. Play new games

Come on Rallisport 2. Would love Burnout 3/Revenge but no hopes.

I honestly feel Orta is the only XB game I would replay. Hope it gets BC.

I’d rather them make 360 Burnout Revenge backwards compatible.

I’m glad to see Star Wars in there. I hope we get Republic Commando.

Wasn't Spencer teasing some new feature for these games a few days ago? Did that wind up being anything?

I thought that was part of the original pitch. Whatever.

I hope JSRF shows up.

Yeti · « **Reply #17 on:** October 23, 2017, 07:09:02 PM »

KOTOR looks pretty good

I didn't even know this was coming.

Is Grabbed by the Ghoulies any good? I bought it years ago but never bothered to play it.

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch · « **Reply #18 on:** October 23, 2017, 07:12:31 PM »

The three I want most, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Darkwatch, and The Thing, will likely never be made BC due to licensing and rights issues

Sugar Pie Honey Bunch · « **Reply #19 on:** October 23, 2017, 07:13:42 PM »

Also that Buffy the Vampire Slayer game

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #20 on:** October 23, 2017, 07:15:37 PM »

Updated visuals and framerate is pretty impressive and it's a decent enough lineup to kick things off. Might actually get an Xbone one of these days if the price comes down and they add a lot more games.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #21 on:** October 23, 2017, 07:16:50 PM »

I'd bet anything they'll have a $199 XB1S Holiday deal.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2017, 08:12:20 PM »

I bought one last year as a gift for $212 with an extra controller and 2 or 3 games (BF1 and MGS5, maybe another). So, definitely.

Beezy · « **Reply #23 on:** October 23, 2017, 08:42:55 PM »

If you have the original disc, that will work too.

Ninja Gaiden Black, JSRF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and Gunvalkyrie are the only OG Xbox games I still own. I hope they add the rest eventually.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #24 on:** October 23, 2017, 08:52:14 PM »

I might have to pop NG in as soon as I'm done with Wolf/Mario

This was a pet project of a dishonest and completely incompetent executive at the USA Namco office, so I always root for its failure and mockery.

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** October 23, 2017, 09:08:33 PM »

Thats a shame because its not a bad game. Never played the sequel.

I understand it's one of the first games to use a cover-fire system. I liked the idea of a detective-and-his-dog. That guy was responsible for the worst experience in 20 years of game development though, so I'm still raw.

Is kotor any good?

demi · « **Reply #29 on:** October 24, 2017, 08:23:04 AM »

Yes, I think its great. Holds up well. Its also available on iOS/Android(?) if you want to play it on an iPad or something.

Honestly if you're interested in Ghoulies, just buy Rare Replay.

Courage · « **Reply #31 on:** October 24, 2017, 10:17:20 AM »

I'm pretty pumped to replay NGB. I re-bought a 360 just to play through Ninja Gaiden II again, and was gonna run through Black next so this is perfect.

cityhunter · « **Reply #32 on:** October 24, 2017, 12:12:30 PM »

I'm interested in the reborn duke controller with dat dere LED/LCD thing in the middle. Would be pretty badass if it can display all sorts of animations and moddable to display different stuff if it's connected to PC

Is this technically going through the 360's emulator? Not that I care, I'm pretty flabbergasted I can stick a 16-year-old disc in my Xbone and have it go.

DTR was 2.8GB

Ninja Gaiden was 6.7GB

KOTOR 2 is better, but only if you're playing the PC version with fan patches that fix a bunch of stuff and put in a lot of the cut content.

benjipwns · « **Reply #41 on:** November 04, 2017, 10:28:48 AM »

Giant Bomb played a bunch of them:

3:30 Black
34:36 BloodRayne 2
52:44 Crimson Skies
1:05:40 Dead To Rights
1:16:45 Fuzion Frenzy

1:39:32 Prince Of Persia
1:53:31 Red Faction II
2:01:48 Sid Meier's Pirates!
2:16:41 Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

Though it took twenty minutes or so in Black before anyone remembered Jeff can't see red to see all the stuff to cause the sweet explosions.

Is Morrowind the GotY version, or the really buggy original?

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #48 on:** April 10, 2018, 07:29:20 PM »

Went ahead and added Conkers to my collection today, since it's not likely to drop in price any time soon.

Second batch is out today. Hopping into Battlefront and Battlefront 2 just reminded me of how badly EA fucked up the new series. They literally could have just remade BF2 with a higher player count and prettier graphics and would have been much better off for it, haha.

Should’ve been a GTA-killer franchise. EA/Pandemic totally fucked up the sequel.
