Potential Next Wave of BC OG Xbox Games Appearing Online (Incl. Morrowind GOTY + Destroy All Humans)

[Dancrane212]

Spotted by Neon Noir in the BC thread.

Appearing here.

The last batch of BC OG Xbox games, ones not already included in the Games on Demand service on 360, were added to the 360 store the same way as shown in the image. Games already on that service like Halo: CE could be included in this upcoming wave, so it might not be limited to these 4 titles if that's all that's been added (and no, Orta isn't part of that existing list...).

Morrowind Includes the expansions as well according to the description on the gamepage.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Game of the Year Edition includes Morrowind plus all of the content from the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions. An epic, open-ended single-player RPG, Morrowind allows you to create and play any kind of character imaginable. You can choose to follow the main storyline and find the source of the evil blight that plagues the land, or set off on your own to explore strange locations and develop your character based on their actions throughout the game. Featuring stunning 3D graphics, open-ended gameplay, and an incredible level of detail and interactivity, Morrowind offers a gameplay experience like no other.

DESTROY ALL HUMANS?!? OH FUCKKKKKKKKK

 

[ZanderEzekial]

Wait...

They used to make MX games without ATV?

 

[Shuri]

OG gaffers will remember how tons of posters ended up "scammed" out of promised free copies of Destroy All Humans back in the days :lol :lol

 

[Madrugador]

Please give us Conker, please give us Conker...

 

[Deleted member 4970]

I'll take one Burnout 3, please

Pretty please!

MX Unleashed is legit, btw

THQ Nordic is doing good work

Click to shrink...

Yeah if my memory is correct there was a couple MX games before it became MX vs. ATV

 

[IfSleepoversCouldTalk]

Oh fuck Morrowind.
And MX Unleashed? Time to drive to edge of the world and get launched. I loved that shit.

 

[Judge]

Bloodrayne 2 also

Is that the one that was like open world? I remember there being one with monster trucks and shit that let you play in the world without racing.

Played it at a friends house a bunch but I never actually knew the name and that was made it hard to get a copy for myself on PS2 lol

 

[Dancrane212]

Bloodrayne 2 also

Click to shrink...

That was included in the first batch.

 

[toa95]

Please Burnout 3.... Please Burnout 3.... X purchase will be justified 10 times over if I can play Burnout 3 in 4k

oh my god I'm going to drop so much money on OG Xbox Games tomorrow. I thought I remembered planes too but I never used them myself.

 

[2Blackcats]

Wow, Morrowind.

Could it be a title with some extra improvements?

Be hilarious if I finally bought a One for Morrowind.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I hope it's more than those. Outside Morrwind it's a pretty weak list I feel. Especially when it comes to getting more exclusives on the service, which are the biggest titles that seem to be pushed for by the community. Why we still haven't seen the likes of JSRF, Orta, or Conker is beyond me.

All OG Xbox games get a resolution boost on XB1 (~900p) and XB1X (~4k) consoles.

 

[Majora's Mask]

FIFA Street (2012) when?!?! :'(

 

[bonch00ski]

Fuck yeah with MX Unleashed, I've spent many of hours roaming the maps just doing shit

 

[Gitaroo]

Hope those are not all. Really want panzer dragoon orta.

What happened there?

Click to shrink...

That was in a time where industry people actually hung out in public on GAF. There was someone from the team (cant remember the exact position) who came to the forums and I believe asked posters to vote for the game (i think?) in some goty online contest, and if the game won, the voters from the forums would get a free copy of the game.

The game won, but the guy never answered any emails or even logged back to the forum once it was done.

I bet Wario64 remember this.. It's been a very very log time.

 

[Judge]

So basically THQ fest

Sorry for mining you but have there been many bugs reported in games?

I wouldn't mind a glitch in Ninja Gaiden but I'd be extremely bummed if something went wrong in Morrowind a 100 hours in.

 

[headspawn]

Oh man. I'll literally pull Morrowind out of my OG Xbox and throw it in the Xbox One X sitting a few feet away. I'm happy already.

 

[AlexFlame116]

So are we only getting those 4 or are there more possibly coming tomorrow?

My bets:
Crash (free marketing for the remaster)
Halo because well duh
Splinter Cell
Spyro (free marketing again)
and Max Payne games

I have not heard of additional glitches popping up from the emulator. Mind you I recall Morrowind could get rough on the Original Xbox so, unless those were just performance issues that could be solved by the additional power of those new consoles, I would imagine it won't be perfect.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I'd hope there are more. Can't imagine doing an inside Xbox for the Likes of just these 4 titles.

 

[Deleted member 3925]

Morrowind huh? I'm down for that.

Destroy All Humans is great too.

 

[Judge]

Give me Zapper

Morrowind always had bugs, though the GOTY version had less full on gamebreaking stuff IIRC.

Save often and make a couple dozen saves if you need, whatever feels adequate.

 

[Yukinari]

Metal Arms would be more exciting than most of the choices on this list.

Like seriously whats the point of this when you wont even give us JSRF or something.

Stubbs the Zombie and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas as well, unless they've been delisted. I know I owned them from the digital store though.

Holy shit lmao what a con artist.

I wonder if he thought that it wouldn't actually happen or so many people voted and he realized he couldn't live up to his promise. What a fool! Just like those people who promise to donate like a dollar to a charity per retweet and then get 25,000 retweets.

Both delisted along with a couple others.

This is indeed a tragedy. I loved Stubbs and never finished it :( San Andreas got an actual 360 port/remaster thing in 2014 I believe, that's probably more likely.

 

[AlexFlame116]

I'd hope there are more. Can't imagine doing an inside Xbox for the Likes of just these 4 titles.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for too. Don't get me wrong, having Morrowind is awesome. I'm already wondering if I should try and find a GOTY version for Xbox when I already have the GOTY version on PC but I know I'll probably never get around to playing it on PC.

But I really do hope that they have more to announce tomorrow than just these four. I really want Burnout 3. But even if I don't get Burnout it would be awesome to get like 8 or 10 new Xbox Original BC games tomorrow.

 

[willbsn]

Please don't be the only 4 games.. I'd kill for Burnout 3. In 4K. Would be amazing.

 

[shiftplusone]

I can't imagine playing a non modded version of Morrowind in 2018. Shit is wild

I already wasn't a fan of the Xbox version in the first place.

I remember full spectrum warrior being fucking cool though

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

Morrowind? Fuck yes! Morrowind is nigh unplayable on my pc as everything is incredibly tiny. I look forward to this version as it should be readable and have proper controller support. Shame the combat sucks royally though....

 

[Deleted member 4260]

I hope Conker makes it...

I wouldn't jump on that just yet. The fact that there is only one version of Morrowind makes me think all disc copies will just grab the GOTY content regardless of it being it or not.

I'm totally cool with the bugs that were in the original release. I played through it when it came out on the Xbox.

I'm only worried about introduced bugs with the emulation. Like what happened on 360.

Click to shrink...

The emulation of OG Xbox on 360 was very sporadic and didn't seem to go through the same sort of Q&A it does on XB1. Not saying the emulation here can't cause it. But I don't think it'll even be comparable to the oddities that brought.

Back on 360 only Halo 2 felt like it was given a ton of love and care for BC.

 

[Brazil]

I had no idea there was an Age of Ultron game.

Ninja Gaiden Black is a great addition.

Edit: Well, this post is a mess. Time to grab Ninja Gaiden Black :P

It was such an impressive port at the time though.
And yeah, my save got corrupted near end-game on XB1.

Even Halo 2 had problems. There was that annoying glitch that left a graphic plane about about 50m from you. You had to quit yo get rid of it.

But if there hasn't any complaints so far and on your experience I'm optimistic. Will wait for some feedback though.
