Probably to the latest version of the emulator which is packaged into each game.
The Kameo lens flare glitch seems to have been fixed in the newest update. Played through the tutorial castle and it's no longer in your face all the time.
Tons of BC updates here too. The first one I noticed was Alan Wake and I was hoping for a 4K update, lol.

Same, loaded up and had 20 odd BC games for updates haha.
I would definitely not guess that. These sort of large scale updates happen multiple times a year and are typically of little significance. They're just updating everything on older emulator versions to newer builds, many of which have been in use in other titles for months (looks like a lot of the new update batch is using a January build).
At most, expect minor bug fixes and small performance improvements.
Alan Wake probably needs it most out of the whole library too. It's like 540p, literally. Barely above gamecube resolution. lol
Absolutely, same with the Tomb Raider LAU games. They are like 600p.
Alan Wake we can at least hope for a remaster now since Remedy bought it back. Would love it in 60fps to get the movement a bitt faster and less sluggish.
Replaying Portal 2. I forgot how difficult the second half was. I literally cannot take the time to solve the puzzles properly or else I'll risk burning in the enormous reticule on my TV. I don't think I have a choice, but to play it with a walkthrough.
Got Max Payne 3 not too long ago and I completely forgot how brutal and sweet the gameplay feels. Also, the dude voicing MP is a treasure.
Not BC yet but it'll be :P

Yeah I see this often. I sometimes wonder if the emulator gets updated and it catches some of the games in there or something
I played through them again before Andromeda and it was great
It's great, especially on X. By the far the best way to play the series on console.
When the emulator gets an update, it seems every game has to update individually. I guess they're like self contained or something. This can have improvements in some games. Like Psychonauts having more stable frame rate, and sometimes there have been additions like KotOR getting DLC.
I can only imagine how amazing 3 is on X. What a great game. The gameplay I mean. Sensational
They're not doing any new BC games sorry, that team moved on to making everything they have already work on Scarlett.
Such a shame we never got X enhancements for the trilogy. I'm hoping we'll see them enhanced on Scarlet.
I bet they're doing more. Wouldn't be surprised if we see increased frame rates in games like mass effect 3
The emulator is individually packaged with each game. A couple times a year they'll go through a bump up a bunch to newer versions in large batches.
As long as they 4K-ify the following in the next half a decade, it's all good:
1. Prince of Persia (2008)
2. Remember Me
3. Enslaved Odyssey
4. Mass Effect trilogy
5. Lost Odyssey
6. Metal Gear Solid Revengeance
7. Bayonetta
1. Prince of Persia (2008)
2. Remember Me

And then BC releases will restart on Scarlett so there'll be new BC releases in the end ;)
You're right but part of me wonders why they said the BC program had ended and not "We're taking a year break to get scarlett working and then we'll be back".
Because it's no guarantee they're going to go back to doing it so why committ to it in words when they're unsure until after they complete their work on Scarlet.
How are the 3 running on the X by the way? Same original (720p) resolution but with lesser dips in the framerate?
Would you recommend a trilogy run on the X?
(I must confess that I ... played over 150 hours of Andromeda)
Yeah, the original resolution with all the improvements you would expect from X BC. Mass Effect 1 in particular shows the biggest improvement with a consistent framerate, reduction in pop-in, V-sync, and faster loading. ME2 and ME3 were always pretty solid on the 360, but playing on the XB1 removes disk swapping, which is a nice bonus.
VG Tech did a video on ME1 running on X when the system first came out. Since then, the game has had a few emulation updates (one not too long ago), but you can already see what an improvement it is over the original release.
So I just finished 2 & 3 on the X and they play great. You're correct same resolution but consistent frame rate. I'm now playing 1 right now and that is mostly stable but frame rate can tank when there are lots of mobs. Overall better than the 360. (Loading times are better for all three).
Thank you both!
The last time I played the original 3 was in 2008, 2010 and 2012, so I want to play them again. I could do it on the PC (I have the first 2 on Steam) but I really want to play them on the couch + the X + OLED.
My only concern is the risk of EA announcing a remastered trilogy 2 months after I start playing them again...
Can I purchase all 3 on the Xbox store or must I buy the physical Xbox 360 discs?
They were disc only at first (2 and 3 were that is) and for a while they were only playable without having discs if you were an EA pass (or whatever it's called) subscriber. You can purchase them digitally from the Xbox Store now. I'd wait for a sale, though.
X1X is definitely more stable and higher, but I can't believe the game still dips. Boy did that game run like ass. lol
That's how it had those insane graphics, I only played it back on the 360 but can only imagine what it must look like in 4K.
The Tomb Raider games just updated for me, and I'm happy to see that Anniversary finally has it's texture filtering fixed.
Sadly Crazy Taxi still isn't using 16X AF. I think the game might force bilinear filtering, and that might be the problem. No idea why they used such poor filtering on that game.

because it ended. not paused.
don't get fooled by others' wishful thinking....
Thanks for the info! Nice to see TRA get 16xAF.
I agree that the filtering in Crazy Taxi is horrendous. Is it what originally was in the game in arcades/DC?
Yea, the game is atrociously on 360. I wanted to play it on my 360 because I used to have a CRT that I hooked it up to for my arcadey feeling games and I thought JSRF would benefit from it immensely. It looked great but the lag was unbearable once I got to the second chapter
I'd say so, but I'm biased and loved the game enough to buy it new on release back in the day. Depends how much you value $10. I feel like most would say to wait for it to go 50% off which it likely will.
Thank you. I can get a physical copy off of Ebay for around CAD $7.
Can't see it in the store today. Was it suddenly delisted?
