Ok I won’t. My son and I are excited to play it. Good times.
PSI: Many OG Xbox games have a soft reset (return to start screen) by holding View and Menu for 5 seconds.
Playing KOTOR reminds me how games weren't afraid to acknowledge being games with their tutorials.
None of this hidden behind 'gameplay' just characters straight up saying you can do this by opening up this and so on.

Nice! Skate 3 was already a beautiful game, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks enhanced and everything.
Tried Gears and yeah MS have done a good job here. Looks really sharp and I need to replay that underwater section.
What they nees to bring back is the championship to xbox again.
We had 2 now finish it with the trilogy!

The first Unreal Championship was my first XBL game. Played the crap out of it until Halo 2 arrived. Would be awesome to see it revived.
I played through Saints Row 3 again recently on the S and just fired it back up again last night on the X for comparison. The most noticeable difference to me was a much improved frame rate. The S has a frame rate all over the place, but even in the middle of chaos on the X it holds steady.
I think it's awesome they made Persona Arena BC. I hope they'll add P4A: Ultimax to the list. I used to play that game so much on Live.
GTAIV on X.
Game has unlocked framerate so it hits 50-60fps quite often

You know what's funny and kind of sad, going back and playing the Force Unleashed 2 the rain effects in this game are better than 95% of current gen games, I think the original gears had better rain effects than gears 4 did too. I know it's just how they prioritize their "budgets" for games but most games this gen have those awful white toothpicks that don't catch any light and aren't transparent at all and most of them don't even have the water running down the walls anymore which was a pretty common thing last gen.
GTAV has great looking rain effects but those were brought over from the last gen version as well and UC4 has really nice looking rain/thunderstorm effects but many other games built from the ground up for current gen like The Witcher 3 and Gears 4 look great in many areas but the rain effects look pretty bad in comparison to what was done last gen and let everything else on screen down IMO. Good weather effects make a huge difference in the overall presentation of a game and I just wish more attention was paid to them than has been so far this gen.

Yeah I forgot about that one, MGSV and AC Black Flag had nice looking rain too. Another issue many games have is the rain seems to fall in slow motion or at least so slow it doesn't look natural and makes it stand out.Best rain I can think of was Arkham Knight.
The Force Unleashed 2 holds up really well other than it's resolution.
For those wondering why Halo 3 has much higher LoD on foliage on X over 360 it's because the game shipped with higher LoD assets for use in photo mode (meaning screenshots in theatre mode looked better than were actually being rendered) and the X is simply forcing maximum LoD at all times.
Bump i bought it and played it.
Its gotta be 720p or a bit lower.
Any mention of it getting enhancements?
At first I thought, "Of course not." But then I watched the video. I'm going to have to think about it.
