I just want to see them continue to support the things that do work. I wish backwards compatibility would work with the Kinect, as my kids still request Kinect Party all the time. And if licensing won't let Dance Central transfer the music over to Spotlight, at least let me use the discs I own on the new system. I could pack away the extra camera on my TV if they'd allow that.
Another thing I wonder is if anyone will (seriously) miss it. I work with people with devel...
The thing I want I know I will never get. The titles that are off the Xbox 360 store. TMNT, Simpsons Arcade, etc. Unfortunately, even though they could be in our "already purchased" list for download just like they are on the 360, they'll forever be locked on the old console, I'm sure.
2 was the best: it was our "new year's eve" game two years in a row, that's saying something.
3 and 4 were very blah, thanks to the split off of SingleTrac. I much prefer their other two games that utilized the same engine. Rogue Trip was interesting, adding even more dark humor. And whilst not given as much respect, I loved the slow pacing and capture-the-flag attitude of Critical Depth.
While it won't get you any "feel" for Twisted Metal, it's fun to see the byproducts of the series. When SingleTrac went off on their own, Twisted Metals 3 and 4 were made, and not anywhere near as good. But, they went on and used their engine (without the license) and made Rogue Trip, which was darkly comical, and Critical Depth, the Twisted Metal Submarine game. Slow, but intense. Both worthy to dig back up.
2 is by and large the best. It was responsible for the entirety of two New Year's parties in a row...that's saying something for my crew.
Once, my wife and I went to a giant junk sale. We were broke, so we each said we would get five bucks. I had both in my pocket as we got out of the car.
I got distracted by the first place we were walking past. The guy was still throwing things out of his car. A box contained an original 8-bit NES and a pile of Atari games. I nonchalantly asked him what he wanted for it. He said "oh, a dollar." I tried to contain my energy as he put down another box, full of the NE...
Looking forward to going home and checking on the download. My biggest hope is they threw in a few more BC titles for testing.
Kingdom Hearts Pi?
I don't care about the style switch. Just make the Shyguys turn into Goombas, or let them get squished in other modes. We already have the doors showing up in Mario 1. It could be done.
I just wish the Xbox official hard drive could, say, download the 360 edition games that are b/c for X1, but be hot-swap transferrable. You know, like that way I could have all my 360 games downloaded/installed on one data pack, but pop it out and plug it into a 360 to keep playing. Make it so easy to take things to friends houses, or the spare TV in the home or such.
The way this is titled, could it be an expansion for the original at a discounted price, or is it just flat out another game?
So are these titles "Confirmed backwards compatible by preview members" or "just on the list" now? There's a huge list of rumors, but still only like 20 or so that have shown up as B/C.
I can't wait until full release. Yes, my electronic titles show up as downloadable, but the disc based ones are hit and miss. I'd love a notification that says "that game you have an achievement on is now B/C!" so if I have the disc I can download it. ...
Hold the phone: Child of Eden? Regardless of game quality...that game's Kinect! I thought Kinect couldn't be run on the new system!?!?!?? When did this happen???
You don't need to "download" them, but I can only assume due to what I've heard about how the BC works, you will be installing them, still taking up the same amount of room?
I'd be patient with a download, but hopefully there's some sort of fast, per-game install so you can up and download as your system has space.
I want to know if Kinect based items will work, and utilize the Xbox One Kinect. My kids love Kinect Party, and I'd love to snap into the original Dance Central songs...though if the licensing issue is there, I may lose out. After all, the original thought for Spotlight was "get all the old songs over" and it hasn't happened.
I know this is the definition of "gift horse in the mouth", but any odds of the OG Xbox emulator for 360 getting the upgrade, thereby allowing the original discs modern access? :)
I'd say they still will be able to upgrade remasters, as well as the whole "sell to people who don't own it already" line. Unless they start pressing old 360 code on XBone discs. :)
Been meaning to ask this for a while: PSTV. It's got the Vita and memory card slot.
PS4 remote play allows you to stream PS4, also allows you to mirror the screen.
Is the PSTV very "PS4"ish or very "PSVita"ish when it comes to how it links? Can it (or would it be easy to) "remote play" a PSTV with a Vita, allowing big screen gaming, and still having the touch functionality you could look down and use if necessary? Even if it...
Please no. Oversaturation is what killed the market once before. Mass consumer thinks that video games all require fifty $10 action figures, they're not about to pick their kids up a new system.
Twisted Metal 2: LA
Katamari Damacy-one of the long ones that you start with bugs and end with buildings.
Everything or Nothing-liked it a lot, the theatrical level that ends with the skydive.
Ridge Racer Revolution: the game is centered around repeating the same levels and striving for perfection.
Personally, Sunset Riders lvl. 1: "Bury me with my money..."
Plenty more I'm sure.
