The latest 360 bc update is fucking AWESOME. I won't be needing my Xbox anymore and once I get my 360 I'll just put it in the closet. My favorite Xbox games are on this list.

Panzer Dragoon Orta
Phantom Dust
Spiderman 2
SFAC
King of Fighters Neowave
Mercenaries
JSRF
Breakdown
Soul Calibur 2
Murakamo

Now if only they'd get us a lil' SNK lovin' and Outrun 2. But whatev.

If I cared about bc that much I would buy an xbox for around 50$

However JSRF

SC2 has been BC for some months now. Props for Orta and Phantom Dust, but I dont see RSC2. Fail.

Shit, I need to pick up a copy of Phantom Dust still... never got around to it. But fantastic news that PDOrta, JSRF and SFAC are backwards compatible... any word on Outrun 2 or Silent Hill 2?

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #8 on:** April 19, 2007, 04:50:15 PM »

Phantom Dust is thankfully still kinda easy to find used. Orta ill have to pick up again tho.

JSRF = fuck yea.

Shuri · « **Reply #10 on:** April 19, 2007, 08:31:20 PM »

i dont wanna replay the entire boring as hell single player portion of phantom dust

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2007, 08:34:41 PM »

Phantom Dust single player has pacing issues. You find yourself doing tutorial missions for forever.

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #12 on:** April 20, 2007, 01:35:22 AM »

Orta BC has some artifacting in CG movies, and some of the colors look washed out, im at 720p tho

Ichirou · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2007, 11:41:58 AM »

Looks like I'm buying an Xbox 360.

For anything specific?

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2007, 04:10:10 PM »

So do Xbox games really look better on the 360 because they are rendered at HD resolutions? My friend borrowed all my Xbox1 games when school started so I don't know how well 360's BC works.

bork · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2007, 09:49:45 AM »

Seems to depend on the game. Most of the recent BC games I've tried have, unfortunately, either small graphic glitches, slowdown, or both. I also hate how the non-widescreen games don't have an option to be stretched; boarders suck. $:-\$

Nikashi · « **Reply #17 on:** April 25, 2007, 01:25:43 AM »

This is the update that shows they are definitely listening at the very least. I've been having a HUGE blast playing SF 3 online again, and there's tons of games to be had, all 360 owners.

I haven't given PDO a try yet, maybe later though.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2007, 03:22:47 AM »

Can someone please post some pictures of PD:Orta in HD? I want to see what it looks like before trying to hunt down a copy. My friend said he can't find my copy. I would have beaten his ass down if not for the fact that I traded in some of his xbox1/dreamcast games in the past.

Panzer Dragoon Orta, Blue Dragon (US version), and a few other upcoming games.

I'll definately get a 360 once I get a decent TV. 360 will look like absolute dogshit on my flats old 60" rear projection number.

JSRF

Ninja Gaiden is BC right? Any news on Sigma going to 360 lol

MrAngryFace · « **Reply #21 on:** April 26, 2007, 01:36:39 AM »

PD Orta looks worse IMO

bork · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26, 2007, 01:51:58 AM »

MAF, what does Orta look like when you change the 360 settings to 480p?
