Doom 3 on 360

[Richter Belmount]

Oh man I been waiting months for it , the best part is the bc team made the collectors version have all the features work (classic dooms!) its a great update for just the collectors version alone.

[heyricochet]

20 other games got added too, including lego star wars.

only 4 noteworthy I recall imo.

I never much cared for Doom 3 when it came out but I've been really trying to play through it so that I can play the expansion, which I hear is actually quite nice.

Since April (when I picked up the Collector's Edition out of the bargain bin) I've made it up to just past the monorail, so let's hope that I can actually finish this sucker before the end of the year and that I can progress on to bigger and better games (like Chronicles of Riddick!)

It's getting a lot better now, at least. A hell of a lot better.

Something I wish they had done was stick with a first person view like in Half Life and Breakdown instead of moving to a third person view for the cinemas. Even with the level design flow and game logic, that decision alone would have made the game substantionally better (especially if they went with the Breakdown route). Also, I really wish it had subtitles for the spoken dialogue. There was a mod for the PC version that added them (thank god!), but Xbox gamers are shit out of luck :(

...but yea, I'm going to see if I can pick up a new copy of Resurrection of Evil locally for like $20 new or something!

only 4 noteworthy I recall imo.

I hope you're including Minority Report, Lego Star Wars, Dreamfall, and Rallisport Challenge in that count!

For real, Minority Report was a damned fun beat 'em up.

edit - son of a bitch; reply != edit :( Oh well, first time for everything!

I'm SOOOO glad that they got Bad Boys 2 backwards compatable. What ever would I do without that game on my X360?

[norkusa]

So is this it then for Xbox games on the 360? I didn't read the Moore interview, but it sounded like everyone was saying he pretty much said that they are finished with the whole backwards compatibility thing. Could this be the final list update?

Kinda cool to see Intellivision Lives on the list.

[-hellvin-]

Wow.....

They added Fatal Frame and Silent Hill 4. I've been wanting to replay those since I got this thing at X-mas. Oh well, who cares now that I have another xbox. I wonder how they run though. Might check it out sometime when I have a chance.

nope http://www.joystiq.com/2006/06/13/moore-backtracks-on-back-compat-comment/

[PDorr3]

still no psychonaughts or panzer dragoon orta....oh well now I can finaly pick up lego star wars and play it on 360 :) im gonna go out maybe tomorrow and pick it up.

[meancode]

Yay, I have the DOOM 3 Collectors Edition! I will now pick up LEGO Star Wars and Silent Hill 4 too.

See, I am buying more games because they are back-compat, amazing isn't it?

Moore's comments might have been miss-interpreted, but man was that a PR nightmare for them!

If anything, MS knows there are a lot of people who want their Xbox 1 games back-compat.

[Sothy]

Do thay add stuff like support for 720p or 1080 i ?

[Howie6925]

Anyone know if call of duty 2:the big red one will be added?

[heyricochet]

I'm pretty sure they do, both rainbow six 3 and halo 2 are running in 1080i for me.

[MegaDrive20XX]

Wicked for Silent Hill 4 and DOOM 3 :)

[keiblerfan69]

I'm sad for no Unreal, Panzer or JSRF. But atleast we got DOOM 3 and Dreamfall. I rented Dreamfall yesterday. :)

I wish Id could get some developer to ahip up a port of a "real" version of Doom 3 to the 360. They could have it running in "true" 720p, with all the various visual effects of the PC version running on a top end PC. Sure, the Xbox 1 version will run in 720p on the 360, but it's just upconversion. It's not like it's real 720p or 1080i. It's just taking the 480p signal of the Xbox1 version and upconverting.


Supposedly Half-Life 2 is getting a "true" port to the 360, so why not Doom 3 as well?



I don't really care much about BC, but if there was one game that I wish was BC, it would be Need for Speed Underground, the first game. I still feel like it is one the premier Xbox 1 games of all time. Quite possibly some of the best graphics ever seen on the Xbox 1, and outstanding playability and production values. Should go down as one of the best Xbox 1 games of all time. Also, I hate NFS: U2. I only like the first one.

I also would love to see the Xbox 1 version of Outrun 2 supported with BC. Pure fun baby!

I was under the impression that the 360 actually renders the games at 720p instead of simply upconverting them, similar to how plugin-based Playstation and N64 emulators can render games at higher resolutions vs how pSX Emulator handles higher resolutions.

..and I can't stand 1080i. If I'd known that my tv converted 720p to 1080i then I probably wouldn't have bought it; the interlaced image bugs the hell out of me. I should see if there's anyway I can force my HD-DVR to run in 480p instead of 1080i.

Doom 3 on the 360? AWH YEAH!

Time to bring it on out and play with the chainsaw that is in doom 3... :evil laugh:

Oh wait, i don't have a 360 yet.

Any chance that Destroy All Humans! and DAH's sequel will work on the 360? Also how about Psychonauts?

[roushimsx]

Also how about Psychonauts?

Psychonauts is being worked on right now. Tim started a hip shot email campaign to get it added and offered to send over a few programmers to help out and the very next day Microsoft announced that they were working on it :)

LMAO... yes... possibly, an even bigger disappointment than Barbie horse adventures..LMAO...

[NEOFREAK9189]

does Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil work for x 360 ?

[Richter Belmount]

I heard it doesnt sorry

[Princess-Isabela]

and still no awesome Conker's Bad Fur Day compatibility on 360.

If a real 360 version of DOOM 3 with the expansion and all the old games came out on the 360, I would buy that game, a 360 Premium AND a TV capable of playing it day one. DOOM360 would be the game that makes me buy a 360.

Looks like Doom3 (and the rest of the backwards compatible games) run at whatever resolution you have your system set for (http://forums.xbox.com/1/4850634/ShowPost.aspx). I doubt they're ever going to go back and redo all of the textures and models and such to make an upgraded version of the game, but as it is, it looks like it plays smoother, loads faster, and looks sharp as hell.

Those BC guys are fucking ninjas with keyboards.
