1UP reports: For fans of oldschool shooters, Raiden should require no introduction whatsoever. As shoot-'em-ups go, it's among the more approachable series in what's a notoriously unapproachable genre for many -- with only a few types of weapon power-ups and a difficulty level that starts out simple and gets challenging on a nice, leisurely curve, it's a nice introduction to the genre as a whole. And Xbox 360 owners will have a chance to get acquainted very shortly -- Raiden IV developer Moss has announced a September 11 release date in Japan for the 360 port of their arcade shooter.
Carlos writes "Not so long ago we brought you our thoughts on the last set of backwards compatible titles to arrive on Xbox One as Microsoft closed in on the 400 Xbox backwards compatible games figure. This week has seen another fresh batch of games brought back, which now pushes that number up and over the four century mark. But, the big question is this - are they worth heading back to or should they be left in the past?"
Yup gta4 runs looks alot better on xbox one backsward compatible also because of 2 update patches along with red redemption
Who cares if they're worth the return? They're just adding games. That's what they do and it's admirable.
Yeah alotta gamers this is their first gen so these are all new games.
People act like everyone was old enough and already played all these games 10 years ago.
Fact is all the BC games ln xb1 are games that arent on on ps4 so their pretty much exclusive to xbox and add to the many reasons to own an xbox.
Its a great console with loads of games.
Fact.
Assassins creed 2 brother hood and revelations is available on PS4
Borderlands is available on ps4
Dark siders 1&2 available on ps4
So not all be games are exclusive.
Fact.
You triggered Goldby. Pretty sure he listed 4 separate remasters there like that's comparable
Also, I wouldn't consider BC games exclusive. Nice try though.
@Web,
no i was just correcting yummy
"Fact is all the BC games ln xb1 are games that arent on on ps4 so their pretty much exclusive to xbox"
he stated all games on BC are pretty much exclusive because they aren't on ps4, when some of them are.
that's true, they don't have to add the BC and although I'm into current gen there millions who enjoy going back and playing them all over again.
Microsoft dont own the rights to MGS collection im sure they try and probably couldn't make it happen im pretty sure a remaster will come at some point
Caladrius, the shoot-em-up with artwork by Suzuhito Yasuda (Devil Survivor) is coming to the PlayStation 3, along with Raiden IV.
GNT: Had a fast-paced and frantic day? Perhaps you need to keep that energy going? If you want fast-paced insanity, there’s no better place to go than this interesting shooter.
I’m talking about Raiden IV for the XBox 360.
It has no place on xbox live to the masses.That's the problem with xbox live and it's games, they have a 90% saturation ratio. The games on xbl rarely sell well for a number of reasons.
1 - They're too many of them
2 - you can only play them if you're online and partake in certain features
3 - They're too old and unfamiliar to most anyone who actually uses the xbox 360.
4 - 95% of the games on xbox live can be had for free if you know anything at all about emulation and so many people do.
PSN games, however, as few as they are at the moment are 95% original products. Qbert, MK2,Rampage,Rampart,Sprint car, are the only games that can actively be gotten on an emulator.
That is why the PSN is a better service in the end in terms of games. They're new games and they strive for a level of fun and interactivity most games on other services don't. Sure some suck, some are average and some don't last long enough but you can't argue against Everyday shooter, High Velocity bowling and a slew of others.
Not really news, we have known for a long time that this would be released in Japan, but hopefully it will be release in the U.S. also.
