is never 100% perfect. This goes for all emulation, not just the Xbox. Personally I am suprised they got the games to run as efficiently as they did in the first place. Considering the old Xbox has such a different GPU than the 360.
Overall they did a good job.
LOL @ disagrees, can you name me one emulator that emulates with 100% efficiency at all times with steady framerates on all games???
when I read this story because the person would have to infect the hard drive before it was even packaged. Perhaps they work for Seagate??
You are correct. I think people these days forget that Next-gen doesn't only mean great visuals.
And thanks for bringing up all of the old great P&C adventures. I would just like to add Policequest to your list.
today just look for any negative aspect of something that is doing well. Mario Galaxy is a great game. And that is pretty much the general consensus.
Sometimes I think that people forget what gaming is truly all about...Fun.
Miyamoto has always made great games, and Nintendo is one of the pioneers that has made the industry what it is today. Great visuals will only take you so far, Great gameplay will stand the test of time.
for Microsoft. The simple fact is they already have paid people to emulate these games for backwards compatibility. This is a good way for them to recoup their investments in that. I'm sure it was costly bc I read before that each title had to be emulated separately using different software bc the original Xbox GPU and the 360 GPU are completely different.
This is a good choice bc there are a lot of 360 gamers who more than likely owned a PS2 or even a Gamecube last gen and ...
My account did get banned because someone posted a BS story about me and it actually hit the front page. Not to mention that there were over 200 comments on it laughing at how it was such a good story. Shouldn't these people also be banned for displaying such a level of immaturity?? After all if nobody had commented on it it wouldn't even have hit the front page at all. Not to mention I didn't post the story or comment on it.
I'm sorry I can't be as self-righteous as you ev...
to see the Xbox 360 outsell the Wii at least throughout the Months of Oct, Nov, and Dec. These are after all the hottest shopping months of the entire year for consoles.
Not to mention that the 360 starts at just $280, and the Wii at $250. No ill feelings towards the Wii. It is just that Halo 3 seems to be pushing 360 hardware sales tremendously, Mass Effect will most likely push some consoles to an extent also. It will be close though bc Super Mario Galaxy will push the Wi...
Link to the Past is also my favorite Zelda game. That and Ocarina of Time are pretty much tied for first. I am pretty confident that if Nintendo was doing a remake that Miyamoto would be heavily involved in the project, and it would more than likely be excellent.
You are correct that an EA console would suck. And I know that you are a hardcore gamer bc abviously you dislike their subpar rehashes.
But sadly, most people that buy games are not True gamers like the people who frequent N4G and are interested in the industry.
For those who didn't know EA had a hand in the ill-fated 3D0 console. I don't think that EA would ever enter the hardware busines bc it loses money at first for years. Software is where the real profit...
it is the Peter Jackson project. Microsoft really needs a game like Banjo Kazooie to diversify their line-up. With the whole "family" and casual gaming push cancelling Banjo really doesn't make sense.
Not to mention that Peter Jackson is now working on a new film and the studio behind the new Halo game had just been started.
Overall it is still just a rumor anyways.
Every thread I see you in you post something that makes me laugh. + Bubble for you.
And yes Microsoft is doing better in Japan. They will never be as big as Sony or Nintendo there. But they have done a good job in securing exclusive games that have Eastern type themes.
This podcast also contains a lot more subject matter than 360 sales in Japan but I am sure it will be overlooked.
this game looks amazing. I only wish the other developers would make Wii games that push the Wii like Super Mario Galaxy does. This game reminds me so much of Mario 64, which was one of the best Mario games ever.
Nice job Miyamoto.
most of the people commenting in this thread aren't even 360 owners, or even fans. One can't even comment in a 360 thread anymore on this website.
And in regards to Alan Wake being cancelled. There is an official reply from Remedy posted that it hasn't been cancelled for the 360. What more evidence do you need?? Not to mention Alan Wake is a 3rd party title. Microsoft is only the publisher.
Project Gotham Racing 5. Maybe when they are referring to a game long in development, they are referring to the previous games in the series. It is only just a rumor though.
Bizarre Creations is after all owned by Activision now.

obviously have no respect for women. Maybe if you guys weren't so communistic in your approach to gaming more women that you know would become involved in it.
I know lots of girls who enjoy gaming, and I'm sure there are some female gamers who are members of this website. Its kind of funny how in your eyes only obese basement dwelling women can be gamers.
for the really funny cover picture. And in regards to the story, the whole situation is pathetic. You shouldn't steal from your grandparents(or anyone for that matter}, not to mention you should respect your elders.
Ubisoft and Jade both know what they are doing. Jade is attractive, and they both know it. They just feed off of man's animalistic instincts.
There is no reason to act like an idiot over her though, that is exactly what people in marketing want to happen. Chances are that nobody who frequents this website will ever meet Jade. So who really cares. The simple fact that these types of articles get posted just means that their marketing is working.
There are...
No, the game industry hasn't been the same ever since Sega left the Hardware business and went software only. Let me guess, it would be much better if only Sony made hardware, Correct??
how all the PS3 owners can only comment on what the 360 owners are going to say and not the article itself.
I realize what I say and what others think isn't going to sway peoples opinion, but the article only states the truth.
Based on grading for "this year" on all the different variables the article is spot on. Seems to me some people just can't deal with it. Who knows what the future holds, the article is basing things on the present.
