Mike D from GoozerNation posts his thoughts about the re-release of X-Men Arcade on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Sure, there was online gaming back in the day but the modern age of online video gaming began almost twenty years ago with Xbox Live 1.0.
Haha. Yep. To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today.
That is arguable seeing as how good similar PC services are these days. The lack of cheaters on console is the closed ecosystem rather than extra effort by MS/Sony
"To be fair, I feel that it was actually worth it because it kept a good minimum standard. There was horrible lag back in the day and a lot of cheating/hacking. More so than today."
The horrible lag back then was due to peole not having the speeds needed to run games, peoples internet speeds were all over the place. Hacking is as bad today, if not worse than back then. People now have access to sophisticated hacking programmes that were nowhere near as prevalent as they are today. Anticheat software was also available way before Xbox Live and the paid online services became a thing.
I gamed online a lot from 1999 onwards and had great times playing without having issues with people cheating and no one had to pay for an online subscription.
Pre-orders for the Arcade1up X-Men arcade game open on July 15, also includes Captain America And The Avengers and Avengers In Galactic Storm
cuz baby you're a firework
lol the only good review? aren't other sites giving this game low reviews?
All we need now is the Alien vs Predator and the Simpsons arcade games released on XBLA
I can't believe sites are giving this game low marks.
It's a perfect port of one of the greatest arcade games ever made. It has online co-op, (ps3 has 6 player local co-op), voice chat, etc. Yet people still complain about how mindless it is......NO SHIT.
It's called a BEAT-EM UP. That's why they are fun, you get together with friends and you just beat the crap out of everything on the screen for an hour.
This generation of gaming has been the worst by far out of any generation as far as complainers go. Rarely are people satisfied with anything anymore. It's funny too cause the stuff they're happy with are just yearly rehashes of $60 games that feature the same bugs, the same cheaters, etc. Oh but, they have new map packs!!
I want Sunset Riders. Not the most amazing game, but it's my "arcade imprint" from when I was young. Unfortunately, it's so little-known that I doubt it'll get a remake.
