Is there a list of digital exclusive 360 games that aren't backwards compatible?

I really hope they make it relevant again.

Outside of going back to older Battlefields(I play 4 regularly still) or something like BattleBit Remastered, there is just an empty void that Battlefield used to fill.

Honestly been an absolute blast. And gave me what I wanted from my OG Battlefront 2. Higher frame rate and controller support. All while getting rid of that awful Vaseline glaze that was over everything.

Being able to play XL modes on console is amazing.

I do wish they had made some fundamental changes like adding Battlefront 1 maps to 2, and adding vehicle huds to the second.

Also using the 2 player split screen the PS2 had instead of the four player split screen the OG Xbox had is just silly.

Yessssss Lego 2K Drive.

I was hoping it would be like Lego Racers from back on the PS1 and N64. And sure enough, the racing is just that.

Super Hot is best as a VR game IMO so Imma skip that one though.

Really need the announcement and sell of the new controller before I can justify getting another. Hopefully they carry these colors over to them.

Glad to see Lego Rac.... I mean Lego 2K Drive is coming.

Been yoyoing on the decision to buy it recently.

A mixed bag of game really.

Helldivers 2,
Battlefront Classic Collection,
Kingdom Hearts,
Diablo IV,
And Battlefield 4.

Not gonna lie, a handheld has no place in my life if it isn't a convertible like the Switch is.

I wonder if this means they will be going the route a of 2nd party developer. Similar to Helldivers' Arrowhead studio.

I'm 99% sure I own this. But gonna double check. Hooray for the notice though!

@UBERSICKO To be fair, they DO have a much larger potential audience on Playstation.

Oooooh. I missed this back in the day. Seems like as good a time as any to get into it.

That is gonna be absolutely wild to see.

Definitely picking this. Looking like it is gonna be an absolute blast.

If they put half the effort into their games that they do into redesiging rewards over and over, I feel like Microsoft would be in a totally different league for gaming.

I've been hype for this since playing the first. The unlocked 30fps that drops into the low 20s though kills it for me.

The first one was awful at 30fps with all the action going on.

Hoping they add a 60fps mode down the line, but I'm not holding my breath.

Definitely glad to hear the rest of the game holds up too though.

I don't think AI is going to help an extremely basic text search.

What WOULD help is every game only having a single entry and every edition, DLC, etc, under that. Instead of showing 7 editions and 100 dlc when you type a game name.

Gonna need Rendezvous added to the Firefight Playlist ASAP.

Now THOSE are some patch notes.

Gonna have to fire it up again after this update and add to my 200+ hours in it. 😂

Well dang. That's a nice list. Glad to see they are indeed supporting post launch.

Still wild that Toriyama is gone. Doesn't feel real yet.

Will forn sure be picking this up.

I'd be very interested to see how the certification process went on this.

Were all three sent to Microsoft for review the same day?

Or is this an example of their inefficient review process? In that multiple patches were sent over a period of time only for them to not be reviewed until later. After all had already been sent to Microsoft.

Maybe they will start licensing Xbox Wireless. Getting old seeing viable thrid party alternatives just for them to be wired only.

Excited for this.

But I'm also worried since I played the game solo I won't have ay recourse in beating it unless they increase the player level cap.

Had it been dropped on Gamepass the day of launch I would have played it. Was super excited seeing it looked like old school Diablo instead of that trash that was 3

But seeing how Blizzard repeatedly fumbled it, I'm decidedly way less excited

Control was weird.

After Quantum Break it just felt like their budget was quartered and aside from raytracing, most things felt like a step backward.

The story was great though.

That wouldn't have been an issue if the first season hadn't been made and they strictly started with the book the Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. Instead of whatever that fanfiction BS is was.

The second season's writing really is no better.

If the network overhaul to fix the issues that have been present since 2022 is similar to what we tested in the flight I don't have much hope. It helped some, but both my Series Xs still showed wildly different things at the same time due to the awful desync.

That being said, Squad Battle update will be nice. IMO that is THE PVP mode to play on Halo.

Fancy photo modes that capture higher than running resolution, etc, don't really do anything for me.

All I want/need are brightness and blur to mimic ISO and shutter speed, then depth of field to mimic aperture.

Does it have 4 player split screen?

@ParsnipHero Yea....sadly gonna get worse and worse as GaaS becomes more common.

Release date: 2014( ewww skip)
Release date 2014, 2024 Edition(YAAAAAS)

Especially on Xbox adds to all the kerfuffle with the store where each version of a game, DLC, premium currencies, etc, still have their own entry instead of it all being under one game listing.

If I type say "Forza Motorsport" literally the only thing that should come up are game entries with the name. After selecting an entry, AND ONLY then, should you be brought to a page that shows different editions, DLCs, etc.

@UndyingInsurgent95 I still play the original Battlefront 2. Both in 2D and VR. Definitely still holds up. And tons of full servers on PC even prior to this release. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it.

@Fiendish-Beaver Yes. You have solo story modes that go across the time line. And you have galactic Co quest which is you versus an AI taking turns attacking a planet and fighting for it until someone occupies all planets

Played a few hours yesterday. Man, turning up to 200x AI makes it feel chaotic like a WWII shooter should be while still feeling grounded.

Hopefully can see some of those servers fill up as, atleast last night, was playing with like the same 4 people

@awp69 higher resolution textures and higher frame rates. And ideally a removal of the Vaseline filter.

For example BC version is 30fps. This version is 60+. Hoping 120 is an option.

@FatGuyInLilCoat Starting? Sony has been putting their games on PC for nearly a decade now. Starting in 2015.

I hope beyond hope that I'm not getting too excited over the Battlefront re-release. All I want is to see some full 64 player servers and I'll be happy.

I hope beyond hope that when the new controller revision drops, that all these will be compatible with the new model.

Definitely gonna wait then if I wanna play it on Xbox to see if they add a performance mode.

The first one was absolutely awful at 30fps.

The uncapped frame rate is confusing too. Sure if there is a mid Gen refresh or someone plays it on next Gen, it'll help. But for now, unless the Series X is running it fast enough for VRR to help, seems kinda pointless.

@Fenbops Why do you think it wasn't a day one PC release like say, Helldivers?

That is the downside to developing for PC. You can't optimize for one or two things. Which is why late generation you normally see consoles running things the specs have any rights to run.

My brain still hurts that we had things like Crysis and Witcher 2 on 360.

What's better is that is Playstation is actually one platform.

Meanwhile if they did an Xbox releases that's atleast two drastically different sets of hardware between the Series X and S alone.

Really getting that 4 disc Lost Odyssey treatment, huh?

Only thing that would make this list include the resolutions each consoles is running that 120fps as well.

I know some things like Battlefield 4 still run at their original 720p. Would still just be nice so if someone just wanted a high framerate game that doesn't look like you're playing through a screen door.

Man. The number of times I almost bought this in the last couple months. So glad I held off. Heard nothing but good things about it.

@The-Chosen-one Why would there be? This is for consoles to get on the same level as PC as the current builds are capped at like 900p.

Depends on the age of the game and what it meant to me. Something like Last of Us? Nah, too recent.

Something like the re-release of Battlefront? Day 1.

This is legit exciting. Gonna get me back into Xenoverse for sure.

I only use it for local network streaming. So I can sit in my office up stairs and stream from my Series X.

Makes sense. I have to have a PSN account for Helldivers 2.

Absolutely. Rarely do I do this, but getting this day one.
