HappyConsoleGamer [Coury] Thank you so much for being a part of it! It really means a lot - I would've had no idea where to have even begin with Shenmue 2!
SEGA's only on Xbox range: Shenmue II (ignoring the Eyr DC version for amoment), Outrun 2, OhToGi, OhToGi2, Jet Set Radio Future, Crazy Taxi 3, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Gun Valkyrie, Toejam & Earl III, Headhunter Redemption, Phantasy Star Online, House of the Dead III, Spikeout, Iron Phoenix, Sega GT 2002/Online And that's not counting the Sega 2K sports love or any of the other games that appeared on other platforms too (Various Sonic games and collections, Super Monkey Ball, Puyo Pop, Outrun 2006 etc...). In my opinion, the original Xbox (in all but name and hardware vendor) pretty much WAS the Dreamcast 2 so many Sega fans wanted all along. Loved it!
Right? There's a video on youtube called "the original xbox is the sega dreamcast 2?" where not only are the games for the DC on the Xbox, but also the hardware itself is similar to the sega arcade machines. This is the closest thing we have to the dreamcast 2 for better or for worse (i personally say for the better)
Eh, sorta. Most of em were meant to be on Dreamcast in the first place. Some actually were. So it's more like ports with slight updates due to a little extra time spent on them. I still think Sega needs to make a new console. They definetely could now.
This was a great video! The fact that Sega went with Xbox and it pretty much being the successor to my favorite console ever was why i fell in love with the big green. Hell, i even started a review show devoted just to xbox last year! Lol Now, after seeing this, i need to cover more sega stuff. Thanks guys! :)
Great Video! Outrun 2 does look really good, I'll have to track down a copy. Also love how straight faced Joe is at the end talking about Ryu on the toilet.
Sega stopped making consoles is one of the saddest days in my life, but Sega did go on to make some great games made exclusively on Xbox, and it's sports division, Sega Sports, continue to make great sports games like NFL 2K and NBA 2K (until Electronic Arts signed an exclusive license agreement with the NFL and NFLPA and Take-Two Interactive buying the rights to the 2K Sports games from Sega such as NBA 2K).
Another fantastic episode, and loved the cameos from some of my favorite youtubers! This has become a Friday morning tradition of sorts for me. Really helps kick off the weekend in a great way (not to mention, lift my mood before heading off to work). Keep up the great work, really looking forward to the Panzer Dragoon Orta episode.
megamanfan1500 [Coury] That is exactly what we're going for. We want Friday morning to become a tradition, so that people can feel like they always know an episode is coming then. I actually had all of Panzer Dragoon Orta captured and ready to go into this. But then I realized that there are just too many awesome parts in the game that I could spend all of 10+ minutes talking about it.
Strekks [Coury] I had it lined up for a long time. A full playthrough recorded and everything - then I decided that its too good of a game and I love it too much to just give it 3 minutes in this episode.
I'm glad GunValkyrie kinda started to click with you. It took me awhile to understand the control scheme, but when I did, It's become one of my absolute favorite games! I'm sad it's not understood better, though!
Great bunch of games! Great episode. I can definitely say that Gunvalkyrie is so fantastic once the control scheme "clicks" in your head, and you can manage to never touch the ground. Amazing game, I was sad that so many people wrote it off without giving it much of a chance.
marcus ford [Coury] it still amazes me that I finally started to get it right during this time. I'll definitely be coming back to finish it in the future.
Jason Rushing [Coury] Thanks! It was great having those guys on the show, especially since they have a much deeper love for Shenmue 2 than I do. But I think something clicked with it for me, recently.
The fast way to initiate drifts in Outrun 2 is just to throw it down a gear and then immediately upshift again to top gear. Will take several seconds off a good run just by doing this in place of ineffective brake drifting.
Very awesome episode! Since I've subscribed a week ago or so I've been watching almost all your stuff. High quality, informative and hardcore. Continue and you will easily break 100K subscribers!
Man this video is awesome! I played all of these games when they came out and loved them. Gunvalkyrie is one of my favorite games with a huge payoff for gameplay if you can master the controls.
Great episode! Seeing that Swedish Fish shirt pretty much cemented it as a great one and the rest didn't disappoint! Made me remember that I have Gunvalkyrie, Otogi 1 (which you showed in that stack of games briefly), PDO, and OutRun 2! ... But only 2 of those is actually beaten.
Sobou [Coury] Funny enough, the reason those two games are in that stack at the start is because this episode was actually going to be about 5 mins longer because I had segments for Otogi 1 and 2 shot. Decided to cut them out as I felt like the episode was long enough. They'll show up in a "MORE! Sega on the Xbox" down the road.
I love the original Xbox. Possibly my favorite console, the Sega games play a big part. JSRF, Crazy Taxi 3, Outrun, Otogi, Panzer Dragoon Orta... I’m gonna play Xbox after this episode.
Gunvalkyrie looks sooooo good for me. And Panzer Dragoon Orta, in fact all the Panzer Dragoon series, always looked like something special and unique, it's a shame that I dont't have an Xbox or a Saturn, but I had the opportunity to play the firts Panzer Dragoon on PC, I love it.
Thank You for another amazing video. I'm not the biggest fan of SEGA within our galaxy BUT Panzer Dragoon ORTA will always be among my most beloved games :)
Michał Marek [Coury] Seriously, PDO is so amazing. I had intended for it to be in this episode, i had a whole playthrough captured...then realized I could easily, and wanted to, talk about it for an entire episode. It definitely deserves it.
car1it0sWAY Calling Sega a failure is wrong. Sega had a very strong presence in the arcade market, they made many of the best and most inovative arcade games in history. They had sucess in Europe and huge sucess in Brazil with the SMS and Mega Drive.
Awesome episode guys! Totally loved it! Maybe it'll be cool to do episodes of Sega jewels on other platforms such as the beautiful Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3.
Great episode Coury. Looking forward to the Orta one. Suggestion: SEGA on the GC and PS2, combined, since they didn't get as much love as the Xbox. VF, SMB, SC5, Shinobi. Ooooo, what fun :)
Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Yakuza 1 and 2, Nightshade, Astro Boy, Virtua Quest, Billy Hatcher, Ferrari 355, Rez, Ecco, Virtual On Marz, Sega Rally 2006, Bass Fishing Duel, several Shining games, Beach Spikers, F-Zero GX, Skies of Arcadia. Lots of Sega to go around!
love your chanel guys! the mix of easy to understand info and tech understanding is what you guys are best.I was wondering, and a sugestion if you will.What if, ps3 Xbox 360 d developers didnt go HD 720P, and keep the standard res.Should games take advantage of the lesser "stress"
[Try4ce] Well, setting those consoles to a lower resolution, like 480p, doesn't seem to affect performance, because the game is rendering at the higher resolution regardless. Some PS3 and 360 games do render at sub-720 resolutions to save on performance, even if the output signal is still 720p. Personally, much as I enjoy 60fps or whatever, I'm quite cool with a solid locked 30fps with a nice clean image.
I bought an xbox last year just for Outrun2 and mostly because it included the Original Outrun as an unlockable. Now I find out Panzer Dragoon Orta includes the Original as an unlockable as well. Love it when they do that.
I actually found a real life, arcade cabinet of that Outrun sequel! It was awesome! Of course, I’m terrible at arcade racers, and I only had enough change for one go, so I couldn’t even beat the first level, but it felt so good to play that I’m totally buying an Xbox to play it on. I think I probably could’ve beaten the first level, but the wheel wasn’t working right, so with a controller in my hands and more than one try at it, I’ll probably get pretty far. If anyone wants to the the machine, it’s at Alum Bay in the Isle of Wight. Speaking of the Isle of Wight, there’s another ancient cabinet, from 2000. This one is of an F1 Racer game, and it has real, working CRT monitors! In 2019! That was so awesome! It’s at the White Mouse Inn, but it wouldn’t work for me as the coin slot was damaged.
Captain N [Coury] I plan on covering PSO at some point - I put over 200 hours into the the Dreamcast version (version 1) when I was in college - absolutely loved the game.
Juan José Rivas García I’m not sure if any Xbox’s support RGB, however the best way is to use YPbPr Component, as I believe you can even get HD resolutions, definitely 720p at least for most games.
@@justanotheryoutubechannel I already have both models of the official Component cables, they are up to 1080i, but just for a couple of games. But I want to try RGB using CRT screens cause it will be better that 480i trough a component cable with a CRT tv; the reason is RGB has better luminance than YPbPr, just by a few , but still better.
Crazy Taxi 3 is missing the Around Apple map from Crazy Taxi 2...it only has the Small Apple Map, so you also and still need Craxy Taxi 2 to experience everything that's Crazy Taxi
Can't wait until the Orta episode! Sega's games were the reason I picked up an xbox a few years in and it has pretty much remained the reason I keep the system hooked up considering how many of the other great games on Xbox got pc ports.
viewtifuljoe99 [Coury] Yep! PDO is far and away my favorite game on the system. I hadn't played through it in about 6 years (after doing everything 100% when it came out). Coming back again just drove that point home - I couldn't just talk about this game for 3 minutes and not come back. I could talk about levels 4 and 5 for longer than that! I needed its own episode.
Hi guys! great episode. I love talk about a very forgotten console like Xbox original plus all SEGA classic games. Hope someday you make an episode about Xbox RGB (if its possible) or how to get the best quality image from, modded and via special cables. Thanks!
Hey guys! Can you recommend me a good quality original Xbox component cable? I seem to have trust issues in most of them, after going through some truly terrible cables with a lot of noise and weird colours, but you guys must know what's worth getting.
+overcooler [Try4ce] I'm not sure what cable Coury is using, but to tell the truth, I just have a really cheap generic component cable for mine. You can see the results in the most recent episode on Conker Live & Reloaded. It looks really good (I think), but the left and right audio channels are flipped (I just swapped the cables) and there is a minor buzz that I can hear if there's no other sound. For now it's fine, but I might look into heftier cables sometime to eliminate the audio issues. I believe there are official Xbox cables with a breakout connector for fiber optic audio, but I don't know how much they cost.
I remember that day, I was working in video game retail and the Dreamcast was still a hot seller. Anyway, history is history, we got some great games from them on XBOX, PS2, NGC, GBA, NDS, Wii, 360 and PS3 in the past decade. Also, I've been playing PSO2 for on PC and Vita close to 15 months now, great game.
***** [Coury] Hey I was working retail at the time too! Electronics Boutique! The Dreamcast felt like it was selling well still, but right after that prices of the games went through the floor. Yeah, at the time it was depressing, but its amazing how they really rode the wave after. I think most fans were ok because their output was so stellar.
***** Let's hope that their recent announcements for changes will bring them back to their glory days: www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/07/sega_sorry_that_it_betrayed_fans_hopes_to_win_you_back_with_a_new_game_announcement_this_september
Hey My Life In Gaming, since you guys have done ways of getting the best picture for Nintendo hardware and Sony, could you guys do a video on getting the best picture for the Original Xbox? Thanks. :)
Some people today wouldn't get why Sega made most of their early 2000's games exclusive to select consoles. Aside from exclusive deals and marketing purposes, Sega developers of the early 2000's were still acting as if they were still in the console business. They made games designed for specific pieces of hardware. This also comes from Sega's legacy as a maker of arcade machines. Back in the day (and pretty much up until the 8th generation), consoles were highly customized machines and were very different from one another. Making multiplatform games often meant sticking to the lowest common denominator, which is often why exclusive games on more powerful hardware looked better than most of anything on the market at the time. By focusing on specific hardware without making compromises by porting, you often got better quality games.
Back then, the hardware was also sufficiently different. There was the Xbox with its potent shaders and fast CPU and ample memory, but inefficient DirectX which caused high per-object overhead, and slow memory. There was the PS2, the fillrate monster with programmable vertex effects and multi-faceted hardware that you can, no, have to, micromanage. And there was the GameCube, which segmented the memory such that effectively you'd have a lot less to work with than in either, but otherwise offered a balanced performance. If a title developed exclusively for one of these systems was ported afterwards, it would be a cumbersome process and degradation would usually result. The next generation over, the consoles shared the same main CPU cores, and had high-midrange PC GPUs. The hardware micromanagement was mostly gone, Microsoft got its API overhead better under control. The systems differed just enough on paper, but practically, the differences were minor - while Xbox 360 worked mostly like a PC, albeit with an embedded framebuffer to alleviate memory bandwidth issues, and the PS3 had only a singlecore CPU with a DSP array hanging on it, practically the damage from porting a title developed originally for the other system was minor. The CELL SPE DSP engine was majorly used, for one, to merely cover up the shortcomings of PS3's GPU performance, doing the work that would be done in shaders on Xbox360, or for other, executed tasks that easily found home on the 4 extra hyperthreads of the Xbox360 CPU. And yet there was one system that didn't share technical traits or the library with these too, the Wii. But whether that's a system of that generation, or an in-between of that and the prior one, is debatable.
Yeah. I've heard the stories about the developers who ported Resident Evil 4 the the PS2. It might have been the game's producer who said that at the time, they weren't even sure if they could do it. That was a game made with the GameCube in mind. Still, I think Sega had a good strategy then. They could have chosen to put all their eggs in one basket and develop exclusively for the PS2, but I think by doing what they did, we got better games out of it and the developers were happy. I think there was that short period between 2001 and 2005 where Sega was still putting out quality games and still taking risks. I thought they were going to be a great third party developer.
Will there be an episode of getting the best video on xbox or was the short version to get either the HD component av cable or to have the xbox360 emulate the original xbox? I have the HD AV cable already.
+Teng Chang [Try4ce] Yep, there definitely will be an episode sometime. But in the meantime, yeah, component cables are probably the short answer, or at least a very good answer. We'll have to test out all of the possibilities more thoroughly before we're ready to actually do an episode, but even cheap Xbox component cables should work pretty well.
Cory you forgot to mention Fantasy Star Online 2 which Sega also brought to the Original Xbox. The biggest addition to the xbox version was voice over communication which was something I believe the other versions (Gamecube and Dreamcast) lacked.
Manuel Lopez [Coury] I tried to, for the most part, stick with games that were exclusive to the Xbox (at least at first) in the US. I'm a huge, huge fan of Phantasy Star Online - putting in over 200 hours into the original Dreamcast game, so when I eventually do future installments, I'll put it in there if I can. I've heard its impossible to play the Xbox version these days unless you have a GamerTag already installed on the system - and since I got this one second hand (after foolishly getting rid of my original about 10 years ago), and the death of the original Xbox servers, I'm not sure if I'd even be able to play it. It might seem more appropriate for the eventual Sega on the GameCube.
I was always fascinated by Sega on the 6th generation post Dreamcast. I thought the Xbox got the most unique games of the bunch. Gamecube got Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatchet and of course, Sonic (techincally Heroes should've been in this episode too but I digress), and the PS2 had... Virtua Fighter? That's all I can remember vividly. Excellent video as always!
***** Additionally a reimagining of Shinobi (which is fantastic) and a follow up to it (that I still haven't touched) Initially it really seemed like Sega was firing on all cylinders. OH and Sega also had a hand in Odama and F-Zero GX on the 'cube
Coury.......... I must say I got all of these games on the list except the Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. I must say I never experienced these games in the past.
House of the Dead never gets any love. I was hoping 3 would be mentioned even though I think it's the weakest in the series. Maybe Sony VR will get a new one or a compilation.
SEGA released so many great games on the Xbox, too bad a few years later they started to sink in quality. I really do yearn for those early 2000s era of SEGA games again. I beat Gun Valkyrie and while I struggled with the controls for about an hour, after that it was smooth sailing, I feel a lot of people over exaggerate how difficult it is to control. This video makes me want to go back and play it again. Every game list here is of such high quality, and of course the ones that weren't mentioned were really excellent as well. Do a video on the remaining games such as Spikeout, House of the Dead 3, Sega Soccer Slam, Toejam & Earl III, and more!
Oh, how terrible I feel...I got my Xbox a little more than a year ago now off some guy on Craigslist, and I was finding a lot of games for it for cheap. I ordered a CIB Panzer Dragoon Orta off a seller on Amazon for about 8 bucks, and I had no idea that my system was one of *those*. You know, the model that glitches certain Sega games when running progressive scan? The disc didn't work on my Xbox, but it did on my 360, but I didn't want it to run on a system that could glitch it through emulation, so I returned it. Later, I found that all I needed to do was just turn 480p off, and it would work. Nowadays, I want it back, but I'd have to pay at least double to get it in the same condition I got it in a year ago...Yeah, I know that still isn't a bad price, but I had it for cheaper, and I got rid of it due to my lack of knowledge on the console.
ShogunGino [Coury] You know, it wasn't until recently I found out that certain games wouldn't play in 480p on certain models. I'm glad that I lucked out and got the unit I did from Goodwill randomly.
***** Yeah, later models like mine don't have the capacitor problem, but they have the aforementioned glitching. It begins glitching right as the the logos pass before you get to the start menu. None of the visuals work right.
Sega rules, I wish they would still make home console hardware but for now I'll just have to enjoy my Saturn and Dreamcast. I saw Outrun 2 at an arcade recently and I'm still kicking myself for not playing it since I really like the original 1st game (probably my most addicted game on the Saturn), hopefully it'll still be there next time I visit.
FUN FACT: The creator of Shenmue intended QTE to stand for "Quick Turd Event" but people never got it right and the term "Quick-Time Event" has been used ever since.
***** [Coury] Well, since this episode only focused on the original Xbox, it didn't quite make it. But expect to see Rez appear in a future episode along with this pseudo sequel, Child of Eden.
Always felt like the Sega Xbox games were the last time they were really being consistent. And yeah, Outrun 2 is amazing. Practically flawless. I really liked the Xbox Live version they did on 360 too but Outrun 2 is so good it's the only one of all those Sega games I kept. Well, other than the OTHER Sega game you forgot. Toejam & Earl 3. That game is disliked by quite a few people but I think it holds merit. I mostly only kept that though due to nostalgia for the Mega Drive games.
Mellow Gaming [Coury] Yeah, there are several that I left out for this episode. I had 3 segments I cut, Otogi, Otogi 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta. The latter will get its own episode soonish, the other two will appear with several other Sega games I left out on this one, in an eventual "MORE! Sega on the Xbox" episode.
I would like to ad to this list Otogi 1 and 2 which are without a doubt the best hack n slash games on the Original Xbox (excluding Ninja Gaiden of coarse) and some of the best looking games on the Original Xbox.
The jumping taxi isn't that unrealistic (or crazy, w/e obvious joke), it is a lowrider after all. There's videos showing it (I can't paste a link apparently) /watch?v=c8IJXhJLNR8 Enjoy the channel guys, it'd be cool to see you guys cover some European exclusive games. Always cool for me to us what people on your continent think regarding scenes.
Jet Grind Radio? You actually call it by it’s butchered American title!? *Edit:* Oof, I literally posted the exact same comment both now and 3 months ago. Sounds about right.
I love all of these games but one of my favorite Sega franchises started in that era on the PS2: Yakuza. So I have a bit more love for the PS2 as far as Sega is concerned.
***** no its the same layout from 3 but part 2 has another stage. the main stage i think is called around apple its like downtown new york with the bridge and everything.
***** i forgot which ones called what but i remember one map has the big park in the middle and the other one has the really long bridge but yeah the first two games each had to completely different maps in each game
oh my god Out Run 2 had math levels? I haven't gotten that far yet. Dang. Now i can finally learn basic addition and subtraction :-) if it throws in division i'll turn the xbox off i swear!!!!
I've said this for a while but the Dreamcast lived on in spirit with the original Xbox. Loved it.
Thanks for having me in the episode! ohh and that Joe guy too....
HappyConsoleGamer [Coury] Thank you so much for being a part of it! It really means a lot - I would've had no idea where to have even begin with Shenmue 2!

That Ryo toilet game was brutal, you had to take some laxatives you had to win out of the vending machines. Made it easier.
Awesome video as usual! So great to see all the love for Crazy Taxi, Shenmue and OutRun!
Awesome mashup of some great TH-cam content creators! Thanks for the show fellows\m/
Jason Rushing [Coury] Thanks! It was great having those guys on the show, especially since they have a much deeper love for Shenmue 2 than I do. But I think something clicked with it for me, recently.

The fast way to initiate drifts in Outrun 2 is just to throw it down a gear and then immediately upshift again to top gear. Will take several seconds off a good run just by doing this in place of ineffective brake drifting.
Spikeout: Battlestreet is so underrated. One of the better beat em ups, especially in the 3D department.

"I have faith...do you?" My faith has waivered since 2006 or so. If you could get the right people in there it could happen, but I'm not hopeful.
I love that period of Sega! Now I go to get OutRun 2006 Coast 2 Coast
This and Twisted Metal were so good back then
Great episode! Seeing that Swedish Fish shirt pretty much cemented it as a great one and the rest didn't disappoint! Made me remember that I have Gunvalkyrie, Otogi 1 (which you showed in that stack of games briefly), PDO, and OutRun 2! ... But only 2 of those is actually beaten.

woah wtf, how come i never heard of Gunvalkyrie??? I wanna play it now, it looks awesome!
Did the Panzer Dragon Orta episode ever get made? I can't seem to find it.
I love the original Xbox. Possibly my favorite console, the Sega games play a big part. JSRF, Crazy Taxi 3, Outrun, Otogi, Panzer Dragoon Orta... I’m gonna play Xbox after this episode.

JSRF is backwards compatible with 360, but it has a crazy amount of lag

I wouldnt call Sega a complete failure. Sega almost had an esoteric feel with consumers.
car1it0sWAY Calling Sega a failure is wrong. Sega had a very strong presence in the arcade market, they made many of the best and most inovative arcade games in history.
They had sucess in Europe and huge sucess in Brazil with the SMS and Mega Drive.
They were never a failure. To think so because they're not making consoles any more is ridiculous.
so what happened to that Panzer Dragoon Orta episode?
Awesome episode guys! Totally loved it! Maybe it'll be cool to do episodes of Sega jewels on other platforms such as the beautiful Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3.
Great episode Coury. Looking forward to the Orta one.
Suggestion: SEGA on the GC and PS2, combined, since they didn't get as much love as the Xbox. VF, SMB, SC5, Shinobi. Ooooo, what fun :)

Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Yakuza 1 and 2, Nightshade, Astro Boy, Virtua Quest, Billy Hatcher, Ferrari 355, Rez, Ecco, Virtual On Marz, Sega Rally 2006, Bass Fishing Duel, several Shining games, Beach Spikers, F-Zero GX, Skies of Arcadia. Lots of Sega to go around!
f-zero it's nintendo exclusive games.
Yeah, but F-Zero GX was developed by Amusement Vision, a Sega studio. :)
sega got arcade version
Where’s that second episode? Waiting on Panzer Dragoon Orta & ToeJam and Earl 3
love your chanel guys! the mix of easy to understand info and tech understanding is what you guys are best.I was wondering, and a sugestion if you will.What if, ps3 Xbox 360 d
developers didnt go HD 720P, and keep the standard res.Should games take advantage of the lesser "stress"
[Try4ce] Well, setting those consoles to a lower resolution, like 480p, doesn't seem to affect performance, because the game is rendering at the higher resolution regardless. Some PS3 and 360 games do render at sub-720 resolutions to save on performance, even if the output signal is still 720p. Personally, much as I enjoy 60fps or whatever, I'm quite cool with a solid locked 30fps with a nice clean image.
Good episode! Great to see what games were released after Sega switched consoles. 👍
I bought an xbox last year just for Outrun2 and mostly because it included the Original Outrun as an unlockable. Now I find out Panzer Dragoon Orta includes the Original as an unlockable as well. Love it when they do that.
Where do I get all these Offspring instrumental versions?
Are they on the game disc?
[Coury] Nah, I just found them online. Looked for karaoke versions.
I actually found a real life, arcade cabinet of that Outrun sequel! It was awesome! Of course, I’m terrible at arcade racers, and I only had enough change for one go, so I couldn’t even beat the first level, but it felt so good to play that I’m totally buying an Xbox to play it on. I think I probably could’ve beaten the first level, but the wheel wasn’t working right, so with a controller in my hands and more than one try at it, I’ll probably get pretty far.
If anyone wants to the the machine, it’s at Alum Bay in the Isle of Wight. Speaking of the Isle of Wight, there’s another ancient cabinet, from 2000. This one is of an F1 Racer game, and it has real, working CRT monitors! In 2019! That was so awesome! It’s at the White Mouse Inn, but it wouldn’t work for me as the coin slot was damaged.
I had a lot of fun with Phantasy Star Online. tho, i played the GC version, not the XB version.
Captain N [Coury] I plan on covering PSO at some point - I put over 200 hours into the the Dreamcast version (version 1) when I was in college - absolutely loved the game.
A video about best quality on original XBOX? Is there any way to pull out RGB from and NTSC XBOX?
Juan José Rivas García I’m not sure if any Xbox’s support RGB, however the best way is to use YPbPr Component, as I believe you can even get HD resolutions, definitely 720p at least for most games.
@@justanotheryoutubechannel I already have both models of the official Component cables, they are up to 1080i, but just for a couple of games. But I want to try RGB using CRT screens cause it will be better that 480i trough a component cable with a CRT tv; the reason is RGB has better luminance than YPbPr, just by a few , but still better.
Crazy Taxi 3 is missing the Around Apple map from Crazy Taxi 2...it only has the Small Apple Map, so you also and still need Craxy Taxi 2 to experience everything that's Crazy Taxi
This video is almost a decade old so I'm sure you already know this 😅
The jumping started in Crazy Taxi 2, so why so surprised it came back for 3?
How do they do to avoid the reescaling image of lower resolutions??? All the videos of all games looks very sharp.
+Helí Suárez All of the games in this episode were recorded in 480p and upscaled using a XRGB Mini Framemeister.
After 3 years, I'm still waiting for panzer dragoon orta special video 😅
Can't wait until the Orta episode! Sega's games were the reason I picked up an xbox a few years in and it has pretty much remained the reason I keep the system hooked up considering how many of the other great games on Xbox got pc ports.
viewtifuljoe99 [Coury] Yep! PDO is far and away my favorite game on the system. I hadn't played through it in about 6 years (after doing everything 100% when it came out).
Coming back again just drove that point home - I couldn't just talk about this game for 3 minutes and not come back. I could talk about levels 4 and 5 for longer than that! I needed its own episode.
Hi guys! great episode. I love talk about a very forgotten console like Xbox original plus all SEGA classic games. Hope someday you make an episode about Xbox RGB (if its possible) or how to get the best quality image from, modded and via special cables. Thanks!
+Héctor Torres [Coury] Xbox is definitely on the list, its just a matter of time!
Hey guys! Can you recommend me a good quality original Xbox component cable? I seem to have trust issues in most of them, after going through some truly terrible cables with a lot of noise and weird colours, but you guys must know what's worth getting.
+overcooler [Try4ce] I'm not sure what cable Coury is using, but to tell the truth, I just have a really cheap generic component cable for mine. You can see the results in the most recent episode on Conker Live & Reloaded. It looks really good (I think), but the left and right audio channels are flipped (I just swapped the cables) and there is a minor buzz that I can hear if there's no other sound. For now it's fine, but I might look into heftier cables sometime to eliminate the audio issues. I believe there are official Xbox cables with a breakout connector for fiber optic audio, but I don't know how much they cost.
There is a HDMI converter for Xbox on Amazon. $25. works great.
I should not be this happy about that Swedish fish shirt. Video was great as always, but that shirt! -Matt
Shenmue 2 and Outrun 2/2006 were my favorites of Sega's Xbox lineup.
I would totally play Rational Taxi.
AFAIK most of these game work on the Xbox One under backwards compatibility now, and with enhanced graphics on the Xbox one X
3 of my favorite TH-camrs in one video /nerdgasm
I remember that day, I was working in video game retail and the Dreamcast was still a hot seller. Anyway, history is history, we got some great games from them on XBOX, PS2, NGC, GBA, NDS, Wii, 360 and PS3 in the past decade. Also, I've been playing PSO2 for on PC and Vita close to 15 months now, great game.
***** [Coury] Hey I was working retail at the time too! Electronics Boutique! The Dreamcast felt like it was selling well still, but right after that prices of the games went through the floor.
Yeah, at the time it was depressing, but its amazing how they really rode the wave after. I think most fans were ok because their output was so stellar.
***** Let's hope that their recent announcements for changes will bring them back to their glory days: www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/07/sega_sorry_that_it_betrayed_fans_hopes_to_win_you_back_with_a_new_game_announcement_this_september
***** That announcement is exactly the reason I said what I said at the episode! I'm really, really hoping its something special.
Hey My Life In Gaming, since you guys have done ways of getting the best picture for Nintendo hardware and Sony, could you guys do a video on getting the best picture for the Original Xbox? Thanks. :)
Binary Domain for PS3 by Sega is pretty awesome game!
[Try4ce] I finally got around to playing it earlier this year. I really enjoyed it!
It is? Oh i appear to have it on Steam. BRB installing.
Never gived much credit to BD, but when I had the opportunity to play it, I instantly loved it. It's an awesome and underrated game.
Some people today wouldn't get why Sega made most of their early 2000's games exclusive to select consoles. Aside from exclusive deals and marketing purposes, Sega developers of the early 2000's were still acting as if they were still in the console business. They made games designed for specific pieces of hardware. This also comes from Sega's legacy as a maker of arcade machines. Back in the day (and pretty much up until the 8th generation), consoles were highly customized machines and were very different from one another. Making multiplatform games often meant sticking to the lowest common denominator, which is often why exclusive games on more powerful hardware looked better than most of anything on the market at the time. By focusing on specific hardware without making compromises by porting, you often got better quality games.
Back then, the hardware was also sufficiently different. There was the Xbox with its potent shaders and fast CPU and ample memory, but inefficient DirectX which caused high per-object overhead, and slow memory. There was the PS2, the fillrate monster with programmable vertex effects and multi-faceted hardware that you can, no, have to, micromanage. And there was the GameCube, which segmented the memory such that effectively you'd have a lot less to work with than in either, but otherwise offered a balanced performance. If a title developed exclusively for one of these systems was ported afterwards, it would be a cumbersome process and degradation would usually result.
The next generation over, the consoles shared the same main CPU cores, and had high-midrange PC GPUs. The hardware micromanagement was mostly gone, Microsoft got its API overhead better under control. The systems differed just enough on paper, but practically, the differences were minor - while Xbox 360 worked mostly like a PC, albeit with an embedded framebuffer to alleviate memory bandwidth issues, and the PS3 had only a singlecore CPU with a DSP array hanging on it, practically the damage from porting a title developed originally for the other system was minor. The CELL SPE DSP engine was majorly used, for one, to merely cover up the shortcomings of PS3's GPU performance, doing the work that would be done in shaders on Xbox360, or for other, executed tasks that easily found home on the 4 extra hyperthreads of the Xbox360 CPU.
And yet there was one system that didn't share technical traits or the library with these too, the Wii. But whether that's a system of that generation, or an in-between of that and the prior one, is debatable.
Yeah. I've heard the stories about the developers who ported Resident Evil 4 the the PS2. It might have been the game's producer who said that at the time, they weren't even sure if they could do it. That was a game made with the GameCube in mind. Still, I think Sega had a good strategy then. They could have chosen to put all their eggs in one basket and develop exclusively for the PS2, but I think by doing what they did, we got better games out of it and the developers were happy. I think there was that short period between 2001 and 2005 where Sega was still putting out quality games and still taking risks. I thought they were going to be a great third party developer.
Will there be an episode of getting the best video on xbox or was the short version to get either the HD component av cable or to have the xbox360 emulate the original xbox? I have the HD AV cable already.
+Teng Chang [Try4ce] Yep, there definitely will be an episode sometime. But in the meantime, yeah, component cables are probably the short answer, or at least a very good answer. We'll have to test out all of the possibilities more thoroughly before we're ready to actually do an episode, but even cheap Xbox component cables should work pretty well.
Cory you forgot to mention Fantasy Star Online 2 which Sega also brought to the Original Xbox. The biggest addition to the xbox version was voice over communication which was something I believe the other versions (Gamecube and Dreamcast) lacked.
Manuel Lopez [Coury] I tried to, for the most part, stick with games that were exclusive to the Xbox (at least at first) in the US.
I'm a huge, huge fan of Phantasy Star Online - putting in over 200 hours into the original Dreamcast game, so when I eventually do future installments, I'll put it in there if I can. I've heard its impossible to play the Xbox version these days unless you have a GamerTag already installed on the system - and since I got this one second hand (after foolishly getting rid of my original about 10 years ago), and the death of the original Xbox servers, I'm not sure if I'd even be able to play it. It might seem more appropriate for the eventual Sega on the GameCube.
I was always fascinated by Sega on the 6th generation post Dreamcast. I thought the Xbox got the most unique games of the bunch. Gamecube got Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatchet and of course, Sonic (techincally Heroes should've been in this episode too but I digress), and the PS2 had... Virtua Fighter? That's all I can remember vividly. Excellent video as always!
***** PS2 also got Space Channel 5, Headhunter, F355 Challenge, Ecco the Dolphin and Rez (and GameCube also got Skies of Arcadia)
Well I know my stuff but I am not one to recite everything perfectly. I don't even know F355 even exited to begin with.
***** I' wasn't dissing you, just informing you. And F355 is a fantastic racing game from Yu Suzuki (Shenmue, Virtua Fighter, OutRun,...)
The Movie Planet
Sorry if it came off that way, I wasn't feeling bad, lol. I am just saying I am only human. :P
***** Additionally a reimagining of Shinobi (which is fantastic) and a follow up to it (that I still haven't touched) Initially it really seemed like Sega was firing on all cylinders. OH and Sega also had a hand in Odama and F-Zero GX on the 'cube
Coury.......... I must say I got all of these games on the list except the Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio. I must say I never experienced these games in the past.
5:25 that was a very bad joke lol
Didn't know why you forgot to include the Sonic games because to be honest they did release on the original Xbox.
Thanks
my panzer dragoon doesn't work on my old xbox!!! HELP ME PLEASE. I even modded it to run it off the hd and it still hangs at the beginning
I’ve always looked at the original Xbox as the next Dreamcast under Microsoft’s name. Games had that Sega feel.
It's all about a game of Lucky Hit
Shenmue on the dreamcast is an amazing game.
House of the Dead never gets any love. I was hoping 3 would be mentioned even though I think it's the weakest in the series.
Maybe Sony VR will get a new one or a compilation.
SEGA released so many great games on the Xbox, too bad a few years later they started to sink in quality. I really do yearn for those early 2000s era of SEGA games again.
I beat Gun Valkyrie and while I struggled with the controls for about an hour, after that it was smooth sailing, I feel a lot of people over exaggerate how difficult it is to control. This video makes me want to go back and play it again.
Every game list here is of such high quality, and of course the ones that weren't mentioned were really excellent as well. Do a video on the remaining games such as Spikeout, House of the Dead 3, Sega Soccer Slam, Toejam & Earl III, and more!
Oh, how terrible I feel...I got my Xbox a little more than a year ago now off some guy on Craigslist, and I was finding a lot of games for it for cheap. I ordered a CIB Panzer Dragoon Orta off a seller on Amazon for about 8 bucks, and I had no idea that my system was one of *those*. You know, the model that glitches certain Sega games when running progressive scan? The disc didn't work on my Xbox, but it did on my 360, but I didn't want it to run on a system that could glitch it through emulation, so I returned it.
Later, I found that all I needed to do was just turn 480p off, and it would work. Nowadays, I want it back, but I'd have to pay at least double to get it in the same condition I got it in a year ago...Yeah, I know that still isn't a bad price, but I had it for cheaper, and I got rid of it due to my lack of knowledge on the console.
ShogunGino [Coury] You know, it wasn't until recently I found out that certain games wouldn't play in 480p on certain models. I'm glad that I lucked out and got the unit I did from Goodwill randomly.
*****
Yeah, later models like mine don't have the capacitor problem, but they have the aforementioned glitching. It begins glitching right as the the logos pass before you get to the start menu. None of the visuals work right.
How do you know which xbox you got? I got outrun2 it works fine.
Sega rules, I wish they would still make home console hardware but for now I'll just have to enjoy my Saturn and Dreamcast. I saw Outrun 2 at an arcade recently and I'm still kicking myself for not playing it since I really like the original 1st game (probably my most addicted game on the Saturn), hopefully it'll still be there next time I visit.
FUN FACT: The creator of Shenmue intended QTE to stand for "Quick Turd Event" but people never got it right and the term "Quick-Time Event" has been used ever since.
Sega GT was hella underrated
what pout phantasy star online?
And I did play Shenmue 2 on Dreamcast. I dont get why you guys saying there wasent one on Dreamcast???
They're speaking about a North American release. The states didn't get it on Dreamcast.
should havê talk to Adam koralik about the shenmue pary
Indeed. He's the biggest fan of Shenmue by far.
agreed. make it happen internet!
What ever happened to the sonic games on the xbox
Dreamcast 2?
But Shenmue 2 was released on Dreamcast...
Love it
Shenmueeeeeeeeeee i loved it so much
Ah i wished i would get a glimps of REZ in this video.
***** [Coury] Well, since this episode only focused on the original Xbox, it didn't quite make it. But expect to see Rez appear in a future episode along with this pseudo sequel, Child of Eden.
***** Oh yeah. The "Xbox" part of the video somehow skipped my mind :P
Always felt like the Sega Xbox games were the last time they were really being consistent. And yeah, Outrun 2 is amazing. Practically flawless. I really liked the Xbox Live version they did on 360 too but Outrun 2 is so good it's the only one of all those Sega games I kept.
Well, other than the OTHER Sega game you forgot. Toejam & Earl 3. That game is disliked by quite a few people but I think it holds merit. I mostly only kept that though due to nostalgia for the Mega Drive games.
Mellow Gaming [Coury] Yeah, there are several that I left out for this episode. I had 3 segments I cut, Otogi, Otogi 2 and Panzer Dragoon Orta. The latter will get its own episode soonish, the other two will appear with several other Sega games I left out on this one, in an eventual "MORE! Sega on the Xbox" episode.
Oh yeah... Otogi. I still have one of those too. Man... I've gotta keep track of my games more.
Shenmue II didn’t come out in the USA? Shame we had it.
[Try4ce] On Xbox, but not Dreamcast.
My Life in Gaming in Europe we had it but it had original Japanese dialogue.
I would like to ad to this list Otogi 1 and 2 which are without a doubt the best hack n slash games on the Original Xbox (excluding Ninja Gaiden of coarse) and some of the best looking games on the Original Xbox.
I agree I have both. I wish that game caught on like their dark souls series.
oh god the aliasing
I wish they would re-release Outrun2!
The jumping taxi isn't that unrealistic (or crazy, w/e obvious joke), it is a lowrider after all. There's videos showing it (I can't paste a link apparently) /watch?v=c8IJXhJLNR8
Enjoy the channel guys, it'd be cool to see you guys cover some European exclusive games. Always cool for me to us what people on your continent think regarding scenes.
OTOGI... you forgot OTOGI 1 and 2 :D
Well, Sega didn't actually develop that one so I guess it doesn't count?
Yeah you are right its made by From Software the games on the list here are only published by SEGA as well.
Jet Grind Radio? You actually call it by it’s butchered American title!? *Edit:* Oof, I literally posted the exact same comment both now and 3 months ago. Sounds about right.
I love all of these games but one of my favorite Sega franchises started in that era on the PS2: Yakuza. So I have a bit more love for the PS2 as far as Sega is concerned.
Tanerion [Coury] I've been thinking about these a lot. I really want to play them, but just haven't committed.
***** Now's the time.
Jet Grind Radio? You seriously call it by it’s butchered American name!? Jet Set Radio sounds so much better!
All those games were suppose to be dreamcast games, you know crazy taxi 2's big apple map is not in part 3
+STAXONDECK1 [Coury] Wait, really? The Small Apple map in 3 is a different layout than the Dreamcast CT2's?
***** no its the same layout from 3 but part 2 has another stage. the main stage i think is called around apple its like downtown new york with the bridge and everything.
*****
i forgot which ones called what but i remember one map has the big park in the middle and the other one has the really long bridge but yeah the first two games each had to completely different maps in each game
Searched everywhere for Dave. I get that he's not viewed as being big on Sega but man...........
oh my god Out Run 2 had math levels? I haven't gotten that far yet. Dang. Now i can finally learn basic addition and subtraction :-) if it throws in division i'll turn the xbox off i swear!!!!
Swedish? Awesome!
VanillaFejz [Coury] Swedish FISH! My favorite candy!
