My weakness for the for backwards compat is overwhelming. Wish Crazy Taxi, Iron Phoenix and the first Mech Warrior could get supported. Love to see the True Crime games get some love, too. We have a lot to be thankful for as Xbox fans. We need your positive vids.
@@RetroMediaRoom I'd be curious to see your thoughts on it as well. I think some of the art in the game was lost from low resolution back when it came out vs how it looks now. I was blown away playing it on SX and OX like I was 1st playing it 20 years ago all over again!
Only 40 seconds in and regardless of the rest of the video, I'm throwing a like for your steadfast refusal to use AI voicing! Hate that crap. Stand strong my man! We know it's easier and takes less time. It also comes across as lazy and lacking the personal touch that makes many of you so endearing to watch/listen to. Beyond all of that though, I just have zero interest in listening to robots narrate scripts. Even the ones modeled after real voices seem sterile and emotionless, as if we need more of that. This "you'll own nothing and be happy while we AI all the things" is not the future I want.
@@David_Philologos All you have to do is watch my older videos that are more raw with less cuts and you can 100% tell it's just me on my phone and that's it's my one and only voice, anyone with a brain can tell the difference.
@@RetroMediaRoom Meant no disrespect. It is a genuine question nowadays, and anyone with a brain and individual thought should be asking these questions. AI will soon be and probably already is indiscernible to the human brain.
I think they were going for realism and immersion with the reload focus in BLACK. You would have to actually focus on your weapon to perform a reload in a firefight so it does really add something unique to the gunplay in my opinion. I feel ya tho, it can be a hindrance and should have probably been a toggle option.
Black used the game engine from the Burnout racing series. It was one of the earlier titles when you can make cars explode and kill enemies. I am satisfied with the titles you listed, yet surprised that you did not include Ninja Gaiden and Burnout 3. They both looked and ran incredibly on Xbox.
All of SEGA's arcade games look incredible. Daytona USA in high res but with even better texture filtering than the Xbox One (which had better texture filtering than the 360) makes it a visual splendor.
I think the blurry background during reloading in Black is actually realistic. You can only focus on one thing at a time in real life; reloading or the background.
@TheGunnyBadger03xx I agree. Having played it through twice in the last 12 months. Your central focus in on what action you are performing. The hot round thing is true though. They should also let you do simple reloads while not looking at your handgun. I think most trained personnel could reload their gun by muscle memory alone.
Thanks for another selection! RDR and Indy are great games for sure! Do you get into any sports games? I'm really only about skate games as far as sport goes - TH, Skate series etc. Look forward to your next showing!👍
The blurry background while reloading wasn't to focus on the gun at all. It was implemented to say "Hey, you can't focus on action while reloading in real time." I remember EA explaining this when they demo'd it at E3 (2005).
IIRC, Emperor's Tomb was only 4:3 originally on the original system and on 360, unless there was a setting I was missing. So seeing it in 16:9 is really cool!
I don't know how that could be because it's not compatible, I just tried it with the disc to confirm. From what I could find it was only backwards compatible on the Xbox 360.
Sort of, they initiate a download and act as a license to play, I haven't tried any without internet connection to say first hand how many are able to play offline.
You know what pisses me off about modern gamers it's 60fps. When I started, it was two tanks and barriers on 2600. When I saw the play on a nes, it was game changing, and again, the ps1 and n64 with 3d. Rather than moan about frame rate be happy that you got shit hot games now. I don't care what anyone says. The greatest game of all time is megaman 2. Peace
While I appreciate as smooth of a performance as possible in general, I grew up playing DOOM II on my Windows 95 desktop at less than or barely double digit framerates and loved it anyway. I do get annoyed when people say things like "30fps is UNPLAYABLE!!" which is just ridiculous.
Indiana Jones & Black aren’t AAA? Well the production values on those games look pretty high to me especially Indiana Jones, you’ve got a Hollywood legend doing the score to your game, they definitely spent some money on those games.
Emperor's Tomb is along the same lines as Star Wars Bounty Hunter, not Knights Of The Old Republic which is actual AAA. Halo, Metroid Prime, and Killzone are AAA, all of which released before black, so no, it's not AAA.
It's getting harder to tell, they're probably AI more often than you realize, it's becoming more prevalent all the time. TH-cam has been developing AI detection tools and as a creator I have to tell them if my content is AI altered, why would they do all that if it wasn't becoming a thing? Why am I getting multiple comments telling me how sick they are of AI narration?
A list of pretty good original Xbox games, as I played all of them back when they came out, But BLACK is definitely 1 of the most overrated shooters in history, The original Xbox has countless superior shooters than Black.
Not only did I like and subscribe to your YT channel, but I also spread the video on Twitter/X and Instagram. Hoping that more people will see it and help you reach a higher subscribe count. Btw, imo, you deserve 100k subs, if not WAY MORE!

Panzer Dragoon Orta also looks and plays stunning on One X and Series X
It absolutely does, on my list of games for another video 😀

Conker live and reloaded and Crimson Sky both look amazing on Series X.
I covered Crimson Skies on my channel here: th-cam.com/video/mwvkeJ6L-ZA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X_Xh1sVzt6umwTJI
Panzer dragoon was a major step up even on one x its an unbelievably good upgrade
It's absolutely a showpiece and will be on the channel in the near future.
Thank you. Such a great idea for a channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you! Editing my latest video now 😀

Absolutely a toggle option would have been a good idea, I always go with player choice.
Wow, Dead or Alive 2&3 looks absolutely phenomenal
How can you not like the xbsx? Old games looks better with auto hdr,higher frame rates,resolution etc. Super good machine🎉
Oh yeah it's a fantastic machine, it's my primary current console, even with also having my PS5.
Gun was the best western game from back in the day imo
It was ahead of it's time, I covered it in an older video.

Oh there's always more to come 😁
Funny how this generation is all about playing old games with better quality
Yep, not to say there's none, but I don't care for newer games much of the time.
That's every generation with every thing. Look at General Electric.
Curious thing I admit.
I didn't realize Eed dead revolver was backwards compatible.
I will buy it today thanks
And that's why I do these 🤝
@Ronsilk-pu5hr Neither did I. Heard it was a really hard game though.
@@Frank-x1g Not really, I've never had a problem with it's difficulty.
@RetroMediaRoom OK. May have to grab a copy. It is one of the few OG titles I have not yet tried.
Looking forward to more DOA videos on your channel. I love the whole series as they are all finely crafted fighting games.
They're so polished and fun! 😀
All of SEGA's arcade games look incredible. Daytona USA in high res but with even better texture filtering than the Xbox One (which had better texture filtering than the 360) makes it a visual splendor.
Oh yeah tons of great Sega games are thankfully backwards compatible 😀
I think the blurry background during reloading in Black is actually realistic. You can only focus on one thing at a time in real life; reloading or the background.
I mean, how "realistic" should one expect the likes of Black to be? I just found it annoying outside of an ultra realistic style tactical shooter.
@TheGunnyBadger03xx I agree. Having played it through twice in the last 12 months. Your central focus in on what action you are performing. The hot round thing is true though. They should also let you do simple reloads while not looking at your handgun. I think most trained personnel could reload their gun by muscle memory alone.
@RetroMediaRoom This is also true. Maybe they want you to take cover to reload. Excellent question for the devs.
Been playing jade empire xbox series x looks so amazing like pc emulator, they should make a console that plays old ps2 xbox and cube in 1080p HD
That of course would be amazing if it were possible officially 😔
Its a shame that microsoft abandonded bringing more games from the OG xbox to newer systems
Agreed, I have a hard time believing that they couldn't bring over anymore titles, they need to expand the list more.
I had no idea Red Dead Revolver had multiplayer with bots! 😲 I'll have to check that out.
I've loved it since I was a kid, so much fun with so many characters to play.
No idea how this came up in my recommended but deffo gonna check some of these games out!
You should, it'll be a good time 😀
Awesome channel, I just found your videos and subbed.
Thanks!! Happy to have you ☺
Fantastic video, my friend! Love to see love for the OG Xbox games. Cheers!
Thank you! 😀
Red dead revolver needs to be remastered on a physical disc.😎
It does! 💪
I have most if these games on my xbox but i just can't get over the dated graphics thanks for the Video
Some people can't, too bad 🤷🏼♂️
In 20 years time you will also look dated.
Black is the Michael Bay of video games
That's actually pretty accurate 😅
Well I have a good and ever growing collection of XBOX and 360 games but no Series X yet... I guess I should get one one day...
Oh yes you absolutely should, especially with the new 2tb model they're putting out!
Now I need to play Red Dead Revolver again 😂
Same, I want to unlock all the characters now 😄
@@RetroMediaRoom Yeah,I never focused on that. The challenge would be worth the effort
Thanks for another selection! RDR and Indy are great games for sure! Do you get into any sports games? I'm really only about skate games as far as sport goes - TH, Skate series etc. Look forward to your next showing!👍
I actually do have lots of classic sports games, even though I'm not into much sports in real life 😅
Great video! Dead or Alive games look and play good on series x in 4k resolution
They're fantastic 👏
The blurry background while reloading wasn't to focus on the gun at all. It was implemented to say "Hey, you can't focus on action while reloading in real time." I remember EA explaining this when they demo'd it at E3 (2005).
Sure if they said so, I still don't like it 😅
@@RetroMediaRoomDon't get me wrong, neither do/did I. I still play it on my Series X as well.
@@bryanwarner561 I enjoyed checking it out :)
Check out Advent Rising if you haven’t already. Talk about an upgrade!
I bet, I'll have to check it out

Damn i Love your Intro!!!!! :) Also great Video!!
Thank you!! 😀
Love this video we need more !
Absolutely! I've completed updated my style and will be building on this, more to come 😀
I want a WWE Smackdown vs raw backwards compatible on xbox series consoles
That would be sick!
Punisher looks stunning on Xbox One.
I don't know how that could be because it's not compatible, I just tried it with the disc to confirm. From what I could find it was only backwards compatible on the Xbox 360.
@@RetroMediaRoom I am sorry. I must have remembered wrong. It was the 360.
Red Dead Revolver is still superb
Absolutely! It's a classic game 😀
still waiting for more original Xbox games for backwards compatible?
I sure hope they do, that would be awesome!
I still have my red dead revolver
Sweet! 😀
Do these run from the disc?
Sort of, they initiate a download and act as a license to play, I haven't tried any without internet connection to say first hand how many are able to play offline.
@ thanks, I am looking to build my Xbox collection
is there a list of backwards compatible games?
There's multiple ways to look at them.

Mannn the game black 🔥 😮💨
It's pretty fun, I really did love the shotgun 😀
So you can play using the disk?
Sure can, there are even games that are disc only because they're delisted from the store, that's going to be my next video.
How many players can play locally in red dead?
Up to four can, which I've never tried originally but on Xbox Series X it'll run smoother than ever 😀
Ninja Gaiden Black looks like a 360 game on the series X
It was next gen level at the time.
@@RetroMediaRoom it came in 2004, more than one year before the release of the 360 and it ran well on the original Xbox.
@@dustyattenborough4007 Team Ninja knew what they were doing, it and the Dead Or Alive games were beautifully optimized.
Sadly no BC for DOA Beach Volleyball
