    I wanted to be clear, the 10 games that I showcase on their own are all playable at 4K on Xbox Series X. The Xbox 360 games shown in the montages on screen aren't all backwards compatible or 4K.
    Still had a blast putting together this list for everyone!

    I had Forza Horizon on disc and popped it into my Series X not knowing that it was backwards compatible. I could not believe how good it looked! "There is no way it looked like this on my 360!" Ah, it's been enhanced. That explains it! Wait a minute... now I can use my G920 steering wheel! Wow, that's right - any racing games for the 360 that are playable on the Series can use newer wheels! That in itself is a major upgrade over the old 360 force feedback wheel (which I still have). So for free on Horizon you get: 4k graphics, better frame rate, better sound, new peripheral support! OUTSTANDING.

      MS wanted to do more, but they can't due to licensing complications in some cases or even not knowing who to contact to get a licence where a developer has long since folded.

    Great video.
    As an OG gamer since ps1-ps4 days , i ended its run on the ps4 and got tired of all the low quality, boring, bad graphics , unfinished next gen games and I never needed a ps5 till a game I absolutely wanted. After being scammed into mw2 with its broken gameplay, I knew mw3 was going to be bad so I didn't bother with it. My ps4 slim does everything a ps5 can do and I don't need spiderman 2 or hogwarts, or any other boring exclusives.... and ps5s library is nothing but remastered ps4 genes anyways so This videos overview of 360s best games is partly the reason why I got my series X. I loved my ps3 and ps5 can't play ps3 games or sell ps3 digital titles and with ps3/360 having essentially the same game library collection, played the biggest part of me getting the X over the 5....

    • @thegamethrifter
      @thegamethrifter  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The backwards compatibility and the chance to take my library with me played a big role for myself as well. I think the best games were from the 360 era, and honestly I own so many games from that time that I haven't even played yet. I mean HUNDREDS of games because I constantly buy when I see them for a good price.

    Sony has been bad about backwards compatibility for quite some time now. Only careing to put older games on their bad streaming service. But since the Xbox is behind PlayStation they have had to try a bit harder so it's impressive what they have done with backwards compatibility. One of the best looking 360 games on the Series X is Final Fantasy 13. Like the game or not it looks amazing. The 360 version was always inferior to the PS3 one. But playing it again this year this year on my 4K set up alongside and directly comparing it to the PS3 version,which I still have set up and play,the difference is night and day. On Series X not only is it in 4K but it also uses HDR and the frame rate has been increased. Not only that but all the cutscenes were also improved which is an impressive extra mile they went to. Digital Foundry was right. They could repackage the game and call it a remaster. It's that good.

Digital Foundry did an indepth video talking about how much work was done on it. It's really something and shows just how good 7th gen games can look. Much like Nightdives work on Turok 2 or the Crysis remaster for the Series X. Actually it's much like releasing older movies on 4K like Blade Runner. When they want to put the work in the results can be impressive.

      Yes, they are also 4K and 60 FPS enchanced on the Xbox One X. Most games run the same, but in some games the frame rate can dip on the One X as it has a weak processor. So the Series X is the better option, also because of the faster load times from SSD, but One X is good too if you only have that.

      That was BEFORE they owned Activision. They've already said they want to get all the old Activision games into Game Pass. I'm sure some of the hold up is license issues that they're trying to work out currently. What good is it owning all those games if they can't put them into Game Pass? Just my thought on the matter.

    I love my old 360 games. Backward compatibility was one of the reasons I got a Series X. Then I bought a game and tried to play it and ran into a bug. If someone ran into the same issue and found a fix i'd be eternally grateful if you could tell me.
    It prompted me to download my profile but failed telling me it can't connect to Xbox Live. Try as I might I cant find a solution. So I can never play Fallout New Vegas again. Well I can play it, I just can't save my game. Maybe I could try a permadeath playthru. I've never done that before, but I doubt my nerves could take it.

      That's weird, I haven't heard of that problem before. Although I will say the Xbox 360 service has been down a lot recently. So if you tried recently and got an error it could be that you just needed to wait for the service to come back up?

    Definitely a good topic of discussion. The Xbox 360 was Microsoft's best console, hands down. They may have been able to keep that momentum and keep up with Sony if not for Don Mattrick and his ridiculous, anti-consumer plans for the Xbox One.
