Was bummed to fire up Crackdown to find my save wasn't where I thought I left it (10 years or so ago!). Maybe I uploaded the wrong one to the cloud, but it has basically zero progress :/

I had the same issue, but on the bright side, it gave me a chance to start the game over and hunt orbs again in 4K goodness.

So it's not an isolated problem? That's freaking weird. I suspected it may have been due to the DLC not being installed, but even after installing it my save was screwed :/ Might try firing up the 360, see if it's the same and maybe re-sync it.

Mine was correctly on the cloud, fully loaded agent with 4 stars on all skills 8-)

Crackdowns constant progression system is so good. I can't pick up that car, yet, but I can as sure as hell kick the crap out of it.

I suspect mine is more operator error, and that I didn't put the correct save in the cloud before I traded in my 360 years ago

Grab by the Ghoulies is still great. Never played it before, played the first two chapters earlier. Fun game, one of the few 3D titles by Rare on Rare Replay that still holds up today imo.

Interesting combat system with it using the right stick. Haven't seen many games do that.

Fuck yes thread title change!

Crackdown has me again, it looks so good. In some ways it is a bit basic but it is so clean and is essentially a vertical puzzle game with a mad combat and car driving experience thrown in. GOAT.

I approve of this title 8)


And a big applause to the Backward Compatibility team and the Advanced Technologies team!

Very intelligent gamers is what I'd say these guys are, and thats a compliment.



Bad news for both BC and ATG is, we'll keep nagging you guys for ever for more :D

But still, KRAZY KUDOS!!

Updates for mass effect 3, gta iv and battlefield bad company 2 this morning. I could see these being the next x enhanced titles.

I hope like hell they don't decide to start a save connected series like mass effect with the 3rd title in the series. I get that the multiplayer is popular for that game, but IMO they really should start with the first game and work themselves forward.

Agreeing on this. I kinda want the rest of the Gears games to get updates too, just picking one from a series is annoying. Both the Gears and Mass Effect series are trilogies you'd like to replay all the games in once they get enhanced.

One of these days, these will be able to come out of storage and then my drunk eBay purchase for the set won't seem so silly.

Is there anyone in the UK who'd be willing to buy me the Forza Horizon Rally expansion on amazon? I'm too lazy to fake an UK adress..

Shit that's the OG Forza Horizon game looking like that? Almost looks like a early gen XBO game, or are my eyes easy to please?

They did implement a cap for AC3 so anything goes now.

That's good news. I hope they do the same for GTA4.

Yeah, I played for a bit last night, and it's often smooth (and improved from the original BC version), but I don't love the jumps. I prefer it to playing on 360/PS3, but it's not ideal.

Yeah, I don't mind small drops but fluctuations ranging between 30-50fps are headache inducing, in my experence.

A 30fps lock would feel much better, in my opinion.

Yes, that's the original Forza Horizon from the 360.

The X emulator is "only" multiplying the original resolution by 3 on both axis (thus 9 times the whole screen), making this game going from 1280*720 + MSAA 4x + FXAA to 3840*2160 + MSAA 4x + FXAA.
It also force 16x anisotropic filtering, making distant textures even better.
Every assets and textures are the original ones.

Again, that's not really the case, each game is being touched up manually (or more precisely, the way the emulator handles it is being hand tuned, since the original code is not being changed). There's more to it than just increasing the resolution, and enabling better texture filtering, that's why releasing these enhanced Xbox 360 game takes so much time.

I know, he asked if it was the OG Forza Horizon, and to make it simple I answered that.
Note the "only" between quotes, the fact is that the game assets are the originals, as well as the code, so it's the OG Forza Horizon.

After spending significant time with Crackdown these past few nights, I really hope that Microsoft pushes out enhancements for the games that they published last generation. Specifically, I am hoping to see these titles getting upgrades soon:

Alan Wake
Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
Kameo
Viva Pinata 1 & 2

Additionally I hape they can sort out the licensing issue and make PGR (4 preferably, but 3 would work to start) along with enhancements available.

FWIW I played Alan Wake at 1080p/60 on PC and it's really something compared to the 360 version, which I also played.

Has anybody else noticed some bad stuttering Fable Anniversary since the X enhancement patch? It's much choppier than before the update.
