/vr/ - Retro Games

>>7123523
But of course. What's your favorite game and why is it NGB?

>>7123523
Nice. When something officially becomes retro, it psychologically becomes a whole lot better

That was the worst console of all time. Timecat? Tao Feng? Oh yeah great games to play with a comically large gamepad. Lmfao, everyone who bought the Hexbox instead of the trusted Sony 2 was a complete idiot.

>>7123523
There have already been a ton of Xbox threads, dumbass.

>>7123925
>That was the worst console of all time
I disagree, since the Xbox 360, Xbox One, Atari Jaguar, The 3DO, the CD-i and a whole bunch of other worse consoles exist

I wonder if they'll have Chihiro working in MAME by 2030.

>>7123523
it's not retro bc the lighting effects are too good

we draw the line at doom 3, any console that can run doom 3 is not retro

>>7123925
>comically large gamepad
And then the Controller S came out and was the best controller of the gen. Wavebirdfags, don't bother replying. The GameCube controller is a joke.

>>7123523

>>7123983
The controller S is just behind the 360 pad as the greatest ever.

Ninja Gaiden, the list goes on...

The Xbox killed this game before it even released

>>7124123
seething nintender

>>7124046
Mix of great and real shit in there anon.

>>7123523
Twaz always retro cause the only good thing with this is emulation OK there wuz Shenmue and Fatal Frame that's all.

>>7124046
Is Buffy the Vampire Slayer really good or is it just a meme?

>>7123523
halo, ninja gaiden, the list goes on

>>7123523
Anyone know how to get ahold of the xosvp the shop page always says sold out and im trying to trade out my cheap amazon component cables

>>7123915
This, but unironically. The only X Box game I have ever played is Halo and yes, at this point it makes me nostalgic to think of it. Haven't played it since 2002, though. Good times. The interface impressed me a lot and when a friend put just any music through it too (not sure how he did that) at the time.

*at the time also imparted that it was a next-level gaming system
t. anon who has never owned one himself

>>7124673
I'd be interested in seeing your list.

I just played Blinx through BC on series S since I hadn't played that game since I was a kid. Boy is it fucking hard and the side/back flip is miserable. If it weren't for that and that final boss it would be a decent time, but I can still love it with those flaws. I wish they actually focused on making a better sequel instead of some weird stealth shit.

>>7123925
>comically large gamepad
LMAO, imagine being a handlet

>>7124341
At the time it felt like the best companion in video game form to the first two seasons of Buffy. I own them both since they were out and have not finished them. I am not a DMC/beat them up type of player. Didn't appeal to me because I already knew what was happening in the story because of the show and its a early 00 beatemup.

How many of you have a working duke from the original run? I have a non working one.

>>7125746
>I have a non working one.
You can probably fix it easily since it's so big and has lots of dead space.

>>7123523
One of the most shocking and unexpected moments in retro gaming was when a Microsoft platform came to the /videoretro/ board.

>>7123527
>this game and Ninja Gaiden NES are equally as retro in the current state of /vr/
what the fuck man

how much will it cost me to order a used xbox with panzer dragoon and mechassault? I was a ps2/gamecube kid growing up in the early 00s

>>7124318
why are you typing like that

>>7123527
This game needs a PC re-release. Sequel does to with fixed framerate.

>>7123523
i remember playing the rollercoaster tycoon port on this

it's just as awful as it sounds

>>7124046
>shadow the hedgehog
My sides

>>7123527
>>7125867
Wow Dark Souls runs a lot faster on PS5

>>7123523
The greatest of all time.

>>7123523
XBMC. SMB shares to your TV before anything else.
xbox you did well. plus metal slug 3, perfect port.

>>7124046
> Multiplats, bad installments and poor reboots


At least they have Blinx and Voodoo Vince

yes indeed it is. Halo is cool

>>7125867
>equally
no
>retro
yes
whats so hard to understand about that?

>>7123947
>Xbox 360
not enough JRPGs & fighting games?

>>7124341
I love it, but I will admit I'm biased.
>First two games I got for my box were Blinx and Buffy.
>Friend fucking stole it from me then dropped of the face of the earth.
>Have to live in absolute suffering until 2018
>On a whim pick it up at a used game store
>Beat it again
>Just as good as I remember
It's nice if you enjoyed the show and it has good atmosphere

>>7123523
As a kid I don't really remember the OG Xbox nor did I care for it the same way I did the GC or PS2. Only remember playing Blinx at Wal mart or Target?? and how hyped Halo 2 was. Wasn't until college I finally bought one and saw what I missed out on and Damn did I miss out. But are the S controllers not built that well or am I getting fucked over because both of mine are sensitivity to any movement and disconnect often. Still a great system I'm glad. Also has anyone tried to add an SSD onto it instead of an HDD or not possible yet.

>>7128135
i agree, 360 catalog is stacked. it's like saying the ps2 was a bad console (although ps2 had a much larger catalog still)

>>7124046
unreal championship is so weird to remember lol. you spawned with a rocket launcher right? crazy to think they were advertising that game with TV commercials

>>7123523
Well we’re getting to that time of year where ya might have to get out the old space heater! Seriously though, you could light cigarettes off this thing.

>>7123523
I used to have one. I mostly used it as a multimedia, multi emulation machine until a power surge fried it.

one of my biggest regrets is skipping the dreamcast and the xbox

Can't believe no one even remotely mentioned jet set radio future

>>7125867
Die hard was 16 years old when 4chan was created and The Matrix is 21 years old today.
Everything becomes retro newfag.

>>7127051
>Multiplats
Valid point there since Xbox versions of multiplats were were more often than not the superior version

>>7124046
>names a bunch of PS2 games instead

>>7124046
XBox as a proto-Switch confirmed

>>7124341
Jumping mechanics are pretty bad but it's a fun beat 'em up aside from that. It also came out in 2002 back when you could count the amount of good 3d action games on 1 hand. I haven't played it in over a decade since I gave away my hueg though

>>7128992
>Also has anyone tried to add an SSD onto it instead of an HDD or not possible yet.
it's possible with a SATA to IDE adapter. the minor speed gain is not worth the price difference for all but the biggest autists

I never actually played this game but remember it being advertised with the xbox all the time when it first came out. Was it a good game? Comparable to THPS?

>>7130129
it's a good game and the killer app for a lot of people.
>Comparable to THPS?
it's less score-focused and more of a collectathon platformer where you happen to be on skates doing tricks. some goals are based on score or tricks but most of the game is spraying over graffiti spread throughout a big map, then briefly fighting the gangs or police you pissed off doing so.

Just downloaded the HDD ready set for Xbox. I have a 1.6 xbox that's already softmodded. What do I gotta do to install a bigger sata HD?

>>7130112
Any modern SATA HDD is enough to saturate the IDE BUS of the Xbox, that's basically just a margin of error or just a really bad IDE HDD.

>>7130206
non-sequential reads and writes.

>>7130209
Sure, but for a system made to run games of a slow as fuck DVD it won't any difference. I bet the adapter plays a bigger role than anything.

HDD vs SSD doesn't matter even on PS3/X360, what are you guys talking about lol

>>7130231
the lack of seek time can make a difference. it's negligible on the vast majority of PS3/360 games and presumably even less on xbox/PS2 but some games have visible benefits of a second or more on each loading screen.
the people that spend money on this are their own kind of retard, but you're also a retard if you look at proof of it making a difference and say "nuh uh doesn't happen."

>>7130252
true, but you are a fucking retard if you get something like a SSD for 1s faster load times instead of a bigger HDD

>>7130315
yes, that's what this boils down to. even the people buying SSDs and recording tests with them probably primarily use an HDD unless they only play like 5 games.

>>7123925
I mean, Xbox had way better graphics and smoother gameplay though. Not to mention, it had the first real time dolby digital.

>>7130203
Use a program called Chimploader.

>>7123925
S controller was okay.

I didn't buy my xbox, I found it on the side of the road and I was glad to give it a new home. Great console.

>>7123523
Literally the console for 'big guys'.

>>7123523
Is it worth getting one in current year?

>>7131165
If you like action, FPS, racing, and mech games, then yes.

>>7131180
Is it easy to play games from a HDD on it?

The PS2 is an atrocious console.
All people who had actually sex bought an X Box.

>>7131209
Very. You'll want to replace the piddly 8GB hard drive with a new 2TB one (or 1TB, there's only so many games worth your time) and then most games just werk if you copy them over LAN with an FTP client.
Because the file system for DVDs allowed filenames that don't work on the hard drive's file system, some games do require patches, but they should be easy to find and odds are you'll find a rip of the game that's prepatched. 480i-only games are a similar story.
