We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Thanks! Never would have imagined I'd play Star Wars Episode III in 4K lol. Also weird that Max Payne 1&2 will be 4K and 3 a blurry mess.
And you'd still be wrong as Beautiful Katamori was exclusive to the 360.
I forgot just how good Ridge Racer 6 is. I mean, I was super excited to see it added, but just played the first race and... man! The presentation, the soundtrack, and of course the gameplay... this game is incredible. We don't even get games like this anymore. Thank you, Microsoft!

Same here. What makes this even worse is that the PS3 version is a botched port, so I really don't want to play it on that either.
this just makes me even angrier. why the hell is the game not available in europe microsoft?
This person found a way around it. Not sure if that is doable for you. Just trying to help :)
A lot are indeed available (not Stranglehold or Conan though). Go to xbox.com and do some searches for games you are interested in.
Short version: Anything involving motorsport, real cars or real locations is hard.
Long version: Watch the credits of the racing game you're referring to. See how long the list of brands and partners is. Imagine that every single one of those needs to have licensing agreements renewed and royalty/purchase fees sorting out,
Not everyone of these games are available digitally and the same has happened before, so they are adding games, they can't sell. It's such a nice gesture!
Mother of god, Otogi 1 and 2 look beautiful. I put about an hour into each one just to see what they looked like and now I'm gonna spend the rest of the week playing through them both!
I have a strong feeling that the games which aren't avilable digitally were originally planned to be, but some aspect of the licensing fell through late enough in the process for it to make sense to release anyway.
I find it difficult to be convinced otherwise.
Yeah, it does work, I've done it befre but keep in mind that the game is region locked so you can only play it while your console is set to US region.
Damn. Thats cool. One of my favorite third person shooters ever.
Man, I just sold Mortal Kombat 9 at a garage sale 2 weeks ago. Sigh.
Hopefully it's available digitally at a reasonable price.

To sell, right? But like many of these clone consoles (Polymega, Analogue), nothing (aside from manufacturer/publisher goodwill) is stopping them from making playable via emulation, right?
Interesting topic, would love your insight.
Do Original Xbox Games On Demand bought on Xbox 360 not carry over to the new BC SKU's in the Xbox Store? I bought Max Payne 1 & 2 on Xbox 360 in like 2008 or something, and its not showing up in my install list. And the new SKU's in the Xbox Store shows buy only.
Same goes for Switchball.
I remember all that DLC. Namco supported the game for a while after it was released with all those licensed cars. I grabbed them all at the time, even though I didn't use them all. I think they're all still on my 360 hard drive.
Looked at the page and it says I own Death by Cube, but it's not in my library. MS vs ATV Alive shows the same way, but is in my library. Annoying.
Same. I own Death by Cube, have it installed on my 360 but it's wanting me to buy it on XSX.
In true MS fashion, this BC blow out has been a bit of a fail. Can't buy Otogi, RR6 is missing required DLC and games I own are not available to download for free.
What link did you use. I tried buying it from my xbox, but it gives me an error.
I thought they should, but not really my area of expertise. Definitely double-check you're using the same account as the first step.
Man this sucks, can't buy anything for hours with these Xbox store errors on both the console and my phone. Keep getting the same sign in error. I'm trying to buy new BC games!
Definitely the same account, I even found the games on my transaction history. Xbox Support said it might be a bug and told me to wait 24 hours and see if something changes.
Natively you can't, at least with the specific "FPS boost" branded titles. But you can through xCloud (if you're in the insider program). I just did that for the last couple of hours with my One X, connected thought ethernet (500/100 fiber). I tried Fallout 3, New Vegas and Gears of War 2 over the cloud.
I don't think I can put in words how impressive it feels when a game runs and looks better through the cloud compared to the native version. Of course that's happening because I'm a gen behind, but the One X is still a competent machine on its own. To see it being outmatched by a cloud-powered version is nothing short of incredible.
Fallout 3, in particular, felt surreal. 13 years ago, by this very month, I was in college playing this obsessively on my 360. To see the very same game (icon, 360 boot and UI) then load into this better-than-most remasters state gives me a very warm feeling inside. I non-jokingly think at this moment Fallout 3 xCloud looks and runs better than Fallout 4 natively on One X. What a time to be alive!
