Why do I never see nostalgia for this game?
>>
>So you're telling me you used parts from the heavy mech to fix the light mech???
>>
Because only (you) played it

I have nostalgia for it. 2 as well. But most of /v/ hates original Xbox so you'll rarely see any threads about it.

Nostalgia for the Xbox in general is pretty limited, to the point that even a major formative game for the console like MechAssault (laid the groundwork for XBL, provided an exploit to softmod the console) gets relatively forgotten about. At least history has been somewhat kind to it. I remember people ripping on it for being a "casualized game compared to MechWarrior," but nowadays most people seem to agree it's just a fun little mech shooter.

I generally think it's because the Xbox doesn't have as accessible/traceable of a legacy to future platforms. A lot of great exclusives didn't get sequels on the 360, so you don't get that "well I gotta go back and play the first games in the series" that you do with other platforms. Others got ported to PC and are so ubiquitous there that people often didn't even know they were Xbox exclusives (e.g. KOTOR). Then the rest gets hamstrung by the lack of decent emulation up until recently, and even then it's got a reputation for being spotty.

It'll be interesting to see in 5-10 years if anything will change as Xemu gets better and better compatibility. All the exclusives people missed out on, and the potential to become the new default version of multiplats, given that the Xbox versions were usually the best but that reputation has been supplanted by the GCN just because it's easier to emulate.

Been waiting on 3.0 forever. I know nowadays I could play MechAssault online with Project Insignia, but Wolves would be so much easier to bug other people to play.
