theGamerBuzz writes, "Technology grows fast in the gaming world and it seems like just yesterday we were all playing our SNES, PlayStation, Gameboy or Sega Dreamcast. The Sega Dreamcast is one of those unique consoles that sort of did something special. Despite ultimately being Sega’s final run in the console business, it is still a sort of “cult classic” among many gamers. More importantly, the Dreamcast was the first game console with online capabilities out of the box. This would mark the beginning of a feature that would become a standard in most future game consoles."
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
It USED to be till about 2 years ago when Sony got close to the same service for free.
it never was pc online has always been free unless it was a sub for an mmo. psn is free and provides the same quality of service ive found on the 360. i have never paid for xbox gold i used up my months free then never went back on it. Sonys approach is far better.
i dont think its fair to have to pay microsoft so they can essentially "unlock" your internet. now granted there are some great streamlined features and the community aspect on the console it above and beyond the rest. yet, lets face it, everyone pays their subscriptions so they can play online. the streamlined and integrated features are nice but no one is rushing home to renew their membership just to check lastfm or facebook. especially seeing as how services like that are available for free already. somehow, combining a bunch of free items into one package warrants a charge and to me thats not ok. while they are nice features you shouldn't have to pay to take your games online. i guess its just way to profitable to throw on a few things and then charge the consumer for an already free service. microsoft should have packages or pricing for different features if the user decided to use them. thats just my opinion though.
I thought this article might offer an interesting insight as to why Xbox Live might not be worth the money, but no it's the old "PS3 and Wii have free online so why shouldn't 360?" argument, something that fanboys have squabbled over for 5 years now. What a waste of time.
Im happy to pay love the service.
