It means once you do the humiliation ritual including making an MS acc, buying goy pass etc.. you can play the selective titles re-released by MS probably with worse experience. So basically the Tendo method.

Probably a paywalled option in goypass, something like 10 shekels a month.
Will be utterly mogged by Xenia.

You are here

>>723869920
some of them
not all are going to though, lots will get left because of licensing

>>723870657
Should have stayed on mac with marathon and oni.

>>723869920
Just Jez Corden having another one of his drunk rants on social media, means nothing. BC is only coming to the consoles meaning home consoles and handhelds, not the PCs, this is because those will have locked presets.

>>723869920
Well, to be honest, Xbox emulation is the worst compared to Sony and Nintendo consoles so this is a good thing

>>723870036
I mean, there's plenty to complain about Microsoft for, but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if it was just like the XSX where you don't have to buy anything if you have the original game, and instead you just slap in the original disc and it'll download the files
>but wouldn't they be worried about people mounting ISOs or using their own copied discs of games
I would imagine they'd actually "require" it to be through the Disc Drive, however they'd check that, and that the number of people of people these days that even have a Disc Drive these days would limit the impact of any piracy

>>723871012
Well in all fairness, Xemu has been making huge strides, and so has Xenia, somewhat. It's still not reaching the near-ubiquity you see with PCSX2-Nightly and Dolphin, but they're still far ahead of what you'd see even just 5-10 years ago, where everything was just about trying to get the right fork of CXBX to run JSRF and absolutely nothing else.

The big thing will be more in if this'll have any implication towards Xbox 360 being played online, although I somewhat doubt it given that Xenia-Canary might just be the upper end on efforts for that right now.

Wait, the PC might finally get the REAL Ninja Gaiden 2?????????

>>723869920
I don't understand why they would do such a thing. What's going on?

>>723869920
>Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey at 60 fps
Shit, don't threat me with a good time.

Either a port of Fission (official OG Xbox/360 emulator used for backwards compatibility) or actually letting us play exclusive Xbone/Series games on PC. Or even both.
What concerns me is that MS can actually easily make people switch to Windows 11 with this. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't want to switch to 11.

>>723870048
>Will be utterly mogged by Xenia.
Xenia is still lacking many basic features and after all those years can only run about 20% of the library with varying results. At this rate all the relevant games will be recompiled and ported to PC, like Sonic Unleashed.

>>723871012
Yeah, normally I hate this sort of thing but if microsoft doesn't go FULL retard it might be cool. Even if it sucks maybe the xemu autists can reverse engineer some of it.

>>723869920
Does that mean I can finally play fable 2 on PC?

>>723870657
>H1 MCC and H2 MCC based on Gearbox PC port codebase and not the original Xbox codebase
Gearbox was only involved with CE, 2 was ported by Microsoft's internal team Hired Gun.
Anyway, what did they do to the codebase?

>>723874037
The PC version of Halo CE was completely fucked in a number of ways, some of these problems are still in the game today

>>723874730
Apart from 2 missing colours for shields or some shit it's completely fine.

>Could finally play Ninja Gaiden Black on PC
>Ninja Gaiden 2
>Dead or Alive 2 Ultimate, DOA 3,4
fuck yeah I want it, but I doubt microsoft would be that based

>>723871856
You can already play those on PC at 4k/120 using Xenia

>>723870657
>Infinite is a total flop
thats not true
the rest is correct

You guys still believe in Microsoft?

Why emulation instead of ports?

>>723875373
It's cheaper to make one emulator that runs an entire library than to individually port games one by one

>>723875373
Because it takes effort and money to port, retard.

>>723875665
rude

>>723869920
>official emulation
All corpo emulators so far have been absolute garbage.

>>723875728
Deal with it.

>>723875780
i'm telling your mother

>>723875373
You only have to make one emulator, where you have to make a new port for every single game.

>>723875748
how is that possible when they have all the documents?

Xenia team said they were approached by MS a while ago. Not surprised.
The shutdown of the 'xbox' console line means this was inevitable.

If I can play infinite undiscovery, blue dragon, and lost odyssey on my PC, I will buy them all full price.
I bought all the dlc for phantom dust remake, ball's in your court MS.

Does this mean I can play lost odyssey again? That’s the only Xbox game I can think of id care to play that isn’t already on pc

>>723875748
I dunno anon, Xenia is really fucking bad.

>>723875845
because none of them are making them, they're taking fan-created ones. Konami is using jnes for the castlevania collection, ninty uses snes9x.
