Flojomojo Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I'm still hoping that Tron and Obi Wan get added to the list, but since no one like them but me...it probably won't happen These are on my "old XBOX" shelf along with Midway Arcade Treasures, Outrun 2, and the Starfighter games. If they all got added, I wouldn't have anything else to complain about in terms of backwards compatibility. It's not like I play Powerdrome anyway. The performance of some BC titles is not perfect, but it's good enough, especially considering the increased graphical quality. I'm surprised to see people complaining as loudly as they are about some titles -- makes me wonder if their machines are in good shape. I suspect that support for the bundled JSRF will come along soon. Still no Morrowind. Even if they got it perfectly emulated, it'd still be crashing all the time and it'd never get past quality control. True enough. Oblivion gives me what I wanted out of Morrowind, with better graphics and none of the slow loading. A better way to play Morrowind would be to rip it to a modded XBOX's hard drive -- or to play the Windoz version. What a treat to find out that Spider-Man 2 is supported, right after watching the Spider-Man 2.1 movie DVD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 True enough. Oblivion gives me what I wanted out of Morrowind, with better graphics and none of the slow loading. A better way to play Morrowind would be to rip it to a modded XBOX's hard drive -- or to play the Windoz version. Oblivion is a good game but it is not Morrowind. These games are vastly different. While the Oblivion expansion brings back some of the look of Morrowind the mechanics, lore, unique items, etc. are still missing. Oblivion improved on Morrowind in many ways on the exterior with better graphics, sound, dialog, and ease of play. But, for the hardcore fan Morrowind surpasses Oblivion in so many ways. That is what happens when a game is made more friendly to the mainstream. They took out the things that took time to master. One of the biggest things though is walking into a cave, having my ass handed to me, and returning later for sweet revenge. That is something simply missing from Oblivion due to the complete leveled system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightSprinter Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Despite the difficulties jumping (I have the PC version), Tron2.0 was a wonderful FPS-style game and really did a good job of being a sequel to the original movie IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately though both games are coming to Live soon. Check it out: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/785/785312p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moycon Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Very nice. I have yet to use this feature...but I might for Morrowind. I never did finish that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Wow. I'm not impressed by the titles which have been added, but that's more of a function of the original X-Box's lackluster library rather than the list itself. These updates are few and far between. I definitely thought the one before this would be the last one. Looks like I was wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHufnagel Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I figured that there would be a couple of more updates. I didn't think that the next one would happen this quickly. I thought it would be in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 So roughly what percentage of the X-Box library is playable on the 360 now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeGuyWithDSL Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 So roughly what percentage of the X-Box library is playable on the 360 now? Extremely roughly? 60% 383 compatible out of about 600 US releases (according to the only list I could find). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 It was ~40% before this update, I doubt this pushed it to 60%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeGuyWithDSL Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) It was ~40% before this update, I doubt this pushed it to 60%. The list of BC titles at Xbox.com contains exactly 383 titles. I was estimating a total of 600 US titles for the original Xbox, based on the only list I could find, which results in 63.83% of the games being compatible. Pony up a different figure if you disagree ... I really don't care either way, just trying to be helpful to the guy that asked for a rough figure.

Atariboy Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) Nothing I'd consider definitive, but Wikipedia stated it was about 40% before this update happened (Not exact wording but I only remember the figure) when I checked it after reading this thread at Digital Press... http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103035 And now Wikipedia is stating 42% after this latest update. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_...e_with_Xbox_360 And I didn't mean to stir anything up, I'm just repeating what I've read.

Oh you didn't stir up anything bad. It would be interesting to see a numbered list of retail Xbox game titles released. That's one thing that wikipedia entry seems to lack. If it's 42% now then that means more than 600 US Xbox titles were available for sure. There a list here with about 1,000 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games Unfortunately it looks like it contains many cancelled and never released games on the list.

Hyper_Eye Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 This update is awesome. An update that contained nothing other then Morrowind would have been awesome but this update also contains Doom3: RoE and Silent Hill 2 which makes it one of the best updates so far.

Flojomojo Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm happy to see Outrun 2, and I'm sure those with the Jet Set Radio Future combo pack with Sega GT will be pleased. I'm still waiting for Voodoo Vince, Tron 2.0, Yager, and the Midway Arcade Treasures sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuddWakkr Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Does this update work with the Jet Set Radio combo pack? WOW. I'm gonna try it out now. That's what I've been waiting for. Good deal on getting morrowind in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 No Tron 2.0 Glad to see that they are still updating the list though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
