Thank you so much for covering the Xbox One X -- Giant Bomb is my no.1 resource for VGs. Please continue the coverage and I'm looking forward to more :D
I realize that Cel Damage is already available as a digital purchase but it would be nice if they supported this as an original backwards compat title so you don't have to buy again. That was a fun original game, same with Munchs Odyssey.
Black is the only one I've tested so far. Thought it would be an good excuse to go back and try to get gold weapons. Compared to my OG version, it looks and plays a lot better. Controls are weird tho, but it's still fun and has not aged as badly as I thought it would do. Less can be said for it's "sequel" bodycount. Now if the OG Mechwarrior games comes along. I'm all set.
That Black game looks pretty cool, a little outdated but still worth playing it. Also chewing gun will digest right away, not in 7 years that is absolutely false, why are people still believing those fake ideas.
I played through Black when it came out then played through a few levels again some years ago and it's such an unintentionally surrealistic game. Your character's voice tone never matches what's going on in the game (everything exploding around you) or it's just completely disconnected dialogue that has nothing to do with what you're doing (making things explode around you). and the music would be a better fit for a WWII FPS and not one where a lone man is sent to kill a small country and shoot guys wearing hockey masks (while everything explodes around you), and then there's also half the game being completely silent except for some sequences where it does bother having a soundtrack. Almost as if Doom 2016 had the Doom Marine monologuing about the human condition while chillwave played during the battle arenas. I'm convinced they wrote and recorded the level intro/epilogue cinematics and voice acting a month before the game went gold. Bodycount was even worse and you wouldn't even know the main character's name or the setting unless you bothered to read developer interviews pre-release.
32:44 Man, did criterion just get some clips of random military radio chatter and throw them into the game haphazardly? "2-1 this is 3, message. Over." HE NEVER SENDS THE MESSAGE
That black intro/idle screen is kind of odd if you look at it... They start with a lefty AK then later with the MP5 at 5:40 ish they fire a shot THEN show it switching from safe to full auto but it was already on single shot in the last clip when they fired the shot? If your thing is going to be pseudo gun fetish porn gotta make it make sense.
Still have dead to tights in My bookshelf i think. Fuck that game sucks shit. I thought that when it was new too. Just gotten an Xbox and i wanted games...no TH-cam back then to tell me not to buy it...so fucking bad..
These guys are supposed to be experts. No one told them the Xbox one has an app so you can change control schemes and motion sensitivity? Some games have options to make changes but that app let's you change everything. The app came out when they released the elite controller. But even on normal controllers you still have very granular controls. I suspect that would have helped playing these inverted old school games.
he plays off Jeff really well i think. nice and goofy, like i like it :) he does need to do a little vocal training i think if he's going to be on camera as much as he has been. He just needs to enunciate a little better sometimes. uses the back of his mouth a little too much :/
God I miss having the gang all together under one roof in person.

scarfire87 thank you kind sir!
i want Vinny to know that even when he's not here I'm thinking about him
I like how in Black even the health pickups have a gun cocking sound effect.
Black is actually really good. I recently replayed it
Understaffed Giant Bomb is the best Giant Bomb.
FACT: The same amount of polygons that went into a car in Burnout went into a gun in Black.
can i just point out that Ben has buttoned his shirt using his collar button... the lovable buffoon :D
Really hope Sega puts its original Xbox catalog for this, as they made some of the best games for the system, also free Metal Wolf.
g1nobleteam I’d love that, I hope they do
Why is that AK ejecting shells right in your face? That would start to be a problem real quick.
X-treme gamerz love hot lead in their face.
I am surprised there is no Blinx?
that’s definitely stimulating my economy
ashamed to admit how much time i spent playing Fuzion Frenzy back in the day, twisted system was the best minigame
It's just not the same without a giant slab of plastic in your hands...
Did Black also sound the death knell for stoned interns voicing videogame protagonists?
This is why i love this site. Only they would do something like this!
"Cult of Kagan's gone multinational, huh?"
Ben: I don't know what any of those words mean
Man, this was a great Demo Derby.
Love the video description
Well BAM
You guys playing old CD console games is the BOMB
Some of the later levels in Red Faction 2 were actually quite good.
NEED TO GET THAT OPERATION FLASHPOINT ELITE RIGHT QUICK
Prince of Persia was really good.
Black's dev team put so much work into the guns but managed to put the charging handle/bolt on the wrong side of the AK
ben i'm upset at your takedowns of the classic video game black
dead to rights was so fun back in the day. I really want to play it again
Red Faction 2 on Xbox is alright. Takes some time to get used to.
Black was my favorite game back in the day

black still looks great man.

Laura Bailey voices Rayne in BloodRayne. I want to play that now!
I love Bens production 😁 take your time Jason
The Black menu's looping AK drives me crazy, it's backwards. The AK charges and ejects on the right side -_____-
I need to know if Timesplitters 2 runs on this thing.

As for OG Xbox games to bring to XO...
1. Sneakers
2. Azurik
3. Bloodwake
4. Brute Force
5. Batman: Dark Tomorrow
6. Kabuki Warriors
Lol 39:17 the nod of approval
That Black game looks pretty cool, a little outdated but still worth playing it.

Godsmacked or Disturbed or Drowning Pool......Which one of these bands is the best at fusion frenzy
I have never felt sick playing games. But black was one that i had motion sickness after playing for a half hour. But the game were great
the Xbox boot screen completely melted Ben's mind
Ben is a tranquilized orangutan but he's alright by me
LOL
My life is no complete until SUDEKI is released again
With the sequel, they put two Godsmack songs in there that just did not fit. The third game was more like the first.

_Gun Turismo_
Man ninja gaiden was so damn good. They couldn’t recapture that magic in ninja gaiden 2, that game was just unfair.
Not playing Breakdown is a crime.
Well you're in luck since that's out on XBO BC this week.

I loved bloodrayne, felt like a max payne esque to me. guess I was alone

Oh, I want Ninja gaiden and Panzer orta on pc.
Didn't even play any of the good minigames in Fuzion Frenzy.. for shame!
And major Nelson said it was impossible lol
DUUUUUUUUB!

The bomb is so giant.

Gun Turismo

Sweet sweet 360p. It's like I'm there.
Three hundred and sixty potato 🥔
Old 2D games have aged better than this generation too it looks like.
Maybe it’s just black.

We should just call it the Xbox ogc

Why tf ben look like a greasy mac miller
Well no neck tattoo, so not very greasy.
Ben's growing on me. I was a hater once.
same
yea people were just mostly salty cuz all the old people left.
i wonder how bens POV was back then.
he plays off Jeff really well i think. nice and goofy, like i like it :) he does need to do a little vocal training i think if he's going to be on camera as much as he has been. He just needs to enunciate a little better sometimes. uses the back of his mouth a little too much :/
no way! now that Dan is out east he mixes perfectly with Alex's "Eeyore" attitude - together they are stronger!!!
DamienJamesWebb that's still the main think for me. He's sometimes hard to understand and sounds bit drunk most of the time hahaha
Beep-bop beep-boop
Ben Pack is terrible. Tries so hard to be funny...and fails.
