Support NeoGAF

[grap3fruitman]

Dead or Alive 3 for me. It's a Tecmo game though and it'd be on those guys. So... Conker.

 

[Zeta Oni]

People forget how much SEGA supported the OG Xbox, the current Microsoft would do well to take note of that.

 

[Zutrax]

Only one right answer for this.

The amount of people not saying Metal Wolf Chaos saddens me. Most Xbox original titles can be purchased on Ebay for less than $30 and played on the original console or Xbox 360 fairly easily. I'd love some of these titles as much as the next person.

But I've wanted to play the absurdity of Metal Wolf Chaos for almost literally a decade now, and the only way I can do that legally is purchasing a $200+ copy on ebay and a somehow finding and importing a Japanese Xbox. I want an easy way to play this game so badly.

 

[McMoneyman]

I know it's not a Microsoft title or they even got the right. But the only OG Xbox game I played was Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, so do that!

 

[LandStalker]

Blinx the Time Sweeper!

 

[Mobius01]

Then you add in the fact that the OG Xbox almost always had the technically superior versions of multiplats, near universal progressive scan support, and robust audio options... it's a beast of a console.

Things like Colin McRae Rally 3 and Splinter Cell in full DD5.1, the per-pixel torchlight cone and 60fps in Silent Hill 2 and listening to your own CDs in PGR and Quantum Redshift. Such a monster of a console it it's day.

 

[InfernoNR]

I need Deathrow back. Deathrow 2 would be even better.

[The Broken Ska Record]

I want a Sega Pack: Panzer Dragoon, JSRF, and Crazy Taxi 3.

I would have said Shenmue II, but that seems to be coming.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Simpsons hit & run


Probably no chance :-(

 

[Crayon]

Orta!!!!

 

[KonradLaw]

Crimson Skies: HRtR

 

[nillapuddin]

Oh pretty pretty please: COMMANDOS

LOVED commandos

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I feel like lots of OG xbox games I love would not scale up well. That being said from what was published by them I'd personally think the below make the most sense
-Crimson Skies
-PGR2
-Mech Assault 1(2 is great too but for some reason I just prefer to replay 1)
-Kingdom Under Fire: Heroes(another hidden gem that people seem to forget exists, has room to be monetized like Phantom Dust as well)
-Conker Live & Reloaded(still looks great visually, I'm actually surprised it wasn't on Rare Replay though). I wish we could get an answer as to why that never happened

For reference here is what they have. Honestly most games don't make sense

Ninja Gaiden Black, Steel Battalion, Gunvalkyrie, and Breakdown would rule.

Steel Battalion would be a controller mapping nightmare but I'd still like the option, lol.

 

[Tain]

I want a Sega Pack: Panzer Dragoon, JSRF, and Crazy Taxi 3.

I would have said Shenmue II, but that seems to be coming.

I think Crazy Taxi 3 actually already has a Windows release. Never heard much about how it runs.

 

[Madrugador]

Give us Conker Live & Reloaded!!!

I've always wanted to play it and never had an OG Xbox. Please!

 

[Danis Saur]

I want a Sega Pack: Panzer Dragoon, JSRF, and Crazy Taxi 3.

I would have said Shenmue II, but that seems to be coming.

This 100%.

 

[RowdyReverb]

James Bond games are probably off the table due to licensing I guess? Cause 007: Nightfire was probably my GOTG next to Halo, and the console version is very different from the PC version

 

[a Master Ninja]

Ninja Gaiden BLACK

Write Koei Tecmo a darn check already.

 

[Unreal Champ]

I want a Sega Pack: Gunvalkyrie, Panzer Dragoon, JSRF, and Crazy Taxi 3.

I would have said Shenmue II, but that seems to be coming.

FTFY

 

[Crankshaft]

Mech Assault 1 and 2

 

[ThEoRy...]

Otogi?
Otogi 2?
Panzer Dragoon Orta ?

You, I like to you.

Also, fuck otogi.

You, not so much.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Halo 1 and 2 still need good ports...

Mech Assault is the first that comes to mind though. Xbox had a ton of great third party games but those would be a liscensing nightmare.

 

[-Setsuna-]

Tekki is also an awesome game, but impossible to port.

 

[Tain]

Tekki is also an awesome game, but impossible to port.

Functionally I think it would work with comprehensive keyboard mapping, maybe it could even suggest a gamepad + keyboard combo. It would lose some of the appeal, but the core game is fucking fantastic and if the only way for some to play it would be with more conventional controls than so be it.

 

[Clearos]

Loved this game.

 

[Grettir_the_Swole]

METAL WOLF CHAOS

This game needs a physical release in the west. What otherwise could have easily been a mediocre Armored Core clone turned into one of the best god damn games on the Xbox. Think this is some silly hyperbole? Go ahead, fight me; Fight America.

 

[TheAdmiester]

Outrun 2006 is already on PC.

As for OG Xbox games, Rallisport 2 and Midtown Madness 3 make the most sense. The franchises are dead, both have entries already released on PC, MS (not the developers) still hold the rights to both, and both are fan favourites from the Xbox.

 

[Gitaroo]

Probably only ms published games?

 

[Iva Demilcol]

Probably only ms published games?

I said that on twitter but still asked them for Panzer Dragoon and Jet Set Radio because why the fuck not.

 

[Stormhammer]

Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II :3

 

[GlitchyDegree]

Wow there are a lot of request for Metal Wolf Chaos on Twitter.

 

[killroy87]

Gunvalkyrie is 100% my answer. Absolutely no one would play it, but man alive do I love that game.

 

[Kastrioti]

Jet Set Radio Future
Panzer Dragoon Orta

A new generation of gamers need to experience these

 

[Tain]

Metal Wolf Chaos is seemingly the most popular in the responses to that tweet, bummer.

Game only stands out at all because of the theme. Once you're beyond that it's a thoroughly okay third-person shooter.

 

[Contica]

Loved this game.

This was glorious. Especially with custom soundtracks.

 

[StrangeRoboMemory]

Metal Wolf Chaos and Panzer Dragoon Orta for sure!

Let us dream

 

[SimonM7]

I think Crimson Skies has to be it. I feel like there has to be a mix of single and multiplayer modes to make it worth singling out like this. Stuff like Orta and JSRF should absolutely happen, but that should probably be Sega's own responsibility, and probably hit all platforms, honestly.

 

[TheYanger]

Loved this game.

Too bad the real boxart sucked way more than that.

One of the most underappreciated games of all time.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Orta
Otogi 1/2
JSRF.

Start there.

I endorse this post. Strongly.

EDIT: Seeing all of the Metal Wolf Chaos mentions on Twitter is something else. That game really took off in popularity. Hope From noticed that and allow this to happen.

 

[Sinatar]

One of the most underappreciated games of all time.

That game was so fun. Man I remember EGM giving it like a 3/10 and just being utterly flabbergasted.

 

[BurritoBushido]

Say it with me now

[FinaruDensetsu]

Panzer Dragoon or Knights of the Old Republic.

 

[Imbarkus]

Galleon!!!

You all posted some good responses but unfortunately there is only one right answer:

Also acceptable. Used the Halo engine too so should be easy.

 

[epmode]

Rallisport Callenge 2 is probably my favorite racing game ever AND IT NEVER GOT A PC PORT. So do that one. I might even buy it on the *shudder* Windows 10 Store.
