The PS2 had many of these.

It looked like shit but was fun. Ended up rebuying for 360 though.

That was my first time playing Just Cause. Then I got it on 360 eventually and the difference was night and day. Finally the water I could see through it.

...

The absolute state of late gen dvd games on 360.

I do enjoy playing lesser version of games, just to see how they got it working.

...

I have MGS2 Substance for the OG Xbox. I had no idea how obscure a copy it was. I just saw it at EB Games and picked it up after having played the original on PS2.

I really want to try this but it costs more than the X1 & PS4 version.

It came with a DVD Movie of the first games main plot points.

Dragon Age Inquisition for the 360 and PS3.

I got it when it came out. Only had a PS4 next gen console at the time. It is actually one of the best looking 360 games but I believe they use video footage of the Xbox One version for the cutscenes...and all on one DVD.

Alien Isolation on PS3 is decent.
A bit brighter in places than the PC & PS4/X1 verison because of the lack of dynamic lights.

And for some reason, it was the only version to come with physical Manual.

I would say Cod Advanced Warfare and onward, Black Ops 3 in particular it looked like MK9 on the Ps Vita port tier.
They stopped giving a fuck at that point, shit framerate, shit graphics.

Advanced Warfare is ok. Black ops 3 on 360 is like the made half of the game and thought that'll do.

Skimming through checking out Just Cause on PS2 it looks, damn good for the console, reminds me of GTA San Andreas.

You just reminded me now that I have the Dolphin bar I can actually emulate the better looking Wii version.

Have you tried playing local multiplayer with people against bots?
>smaller maps
>fewer ai somehow
>resolution so bad it hurts my eyes
>framerate is shite

At least on PS2 they had the balls to lower some stuff in videogames to make sure it was playable.
Unless I am confusing AW with Blops 2. Or 3 even....

This has full colour FMV videos on the GBC.

>Strange and unexpected ports
The first Mercenaries Playground of Destruction was amazing. I wish they bought it back.

They Hunger on DC.

Not a port as such, but the fact that Bully & GTAIV were re-released in Xbox One cases baffles me.

this is actually a completely different game to the normal WAW, and the campaign is better.

I work in retail and pass by Electronics a lot through out the day.

The majority of 360 games that are backwards compatible have been repackaged as Xbone games.

oh shit i need this one, still got my xbox

>They Hunger on DC.
what the fuck

...

This is a better game than the full PS3 / 360 version It's an isometric top down shooter.

...

Lets take a fast play portable game and make it unportable with long loading times.

I saw Just Dance 2018 for the fucking Wii at a Walmart a while back.

Killzone did the same thing.

This is a very different game to the 360 version. Different story, still fits in the FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR STONE line.

There are people that still use their Wii as a Just Dance machine.

...

This is a homebrew port IIRC,

...

...

...

The last Physical PSP game in Europe if I remember rightly. To receive a proper full release anyway.

...

Now this is fucking great. Recreates the majority of the main game with Graphic Novels, wit full voice acting.

Really disappointed in you guys for not posting >pic related

Game play was a little janky but yeah, really surprisingly great port.

This is less a port and more a brand new game that happens to share the same title

My nigger

Does it have split screen and is it fun? I’ll definitely download this for my ps2 iso collection

They got Doom running decent on GBA, but somehow horribly botched this.

It has the exact same story and gameplay though. Plus it's better than it has any right to be

Strangely enough, Rayman ws actually developed for the Jaguar, the other versions were ports. But for various reasons, the PS1 edition came out first and the rest is history.

The Jag version has a couple of minor exclusive things.

I meant levels** not gameplay. My bad

Do you still have to download the game?

This travesty

Yep. You get a 360 disc in the case.

Re-uses the maps but has a different story. Can't even remember it.

...

...

The Legend of Spyro - The Eternal Night

An underrated gem and a great swansong for the GBA.

I mean, the original Xbox did have a ton of Sega stuff. IIRC there were talks about it possibly playing Dreamcast but that was scrapped due to issues with XBL/Seganet.

Such a weird thing that a company was spent time making a game for a platform that had been dead for years. Who the fuck would even buy that?

europoors

Even then there's PS3/360 which would be cheaper than they were before.

...

>Can't fucking wait for KZ5.
Either Ps5 will have it as an introduction game. Or Ps4 will ruin it in the state it is already in.

I watched the episode of AVGN where Bugs Bunny returns, and he plays a game on the Gameboy called Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle. I have the exact same game except it's reskinned so that you play as Mickey Mouse and the enemies are generic castle things instead of random Looney Toon characters.

>You son of a bitch.
Brilliant choice.

came here to post Mercs 2. Played a ton of it on 360, did not like it at all. Got it on PS2 and enjoyed it way more, because it's literally a reskin of Mercs 1 that looks lazier.

The first one was the best. This one is a failed abortion of a game.

this is better than the stick it gets.
it's essentially DR on the RE4 WII engine. Play it as a shooter and odnt bother with Melee and it's great. Less Zombies, but they do a LOT more damage etc.

How shitty is this port? Since we all know how well trying to fit Deus Ex on consoles worked before...

100x better than the 360/PS3/PC version.

i only recently found out that this was made. weird as fuck

that happened all the time in old licensed games. i.e. studio gets the rights to make a donald duck game in japan, but doesn't have the right to publish disney games in the west, so they made it a snoopy game

This must be the last played COD, outside of the Ngage one.

not him, but if i recall correctly the level design of the early levels were changed quite a bit, and there are more loading screens

there were two BF2s on the PSP as well

...

It happened quite a lot. The PS2 gen versions being different in all but name.

That doesn't sound as bad as I was expecting. I thought it would have unplayable controls or cut half the game or something.

see, gta does not weird me out as much as mgs2

I think I heard about that on here, I think they essentially put BF3 on the PSP.

It got delayed for a year to develop saturn and PS1 ports.
And of course this would be repeated with rayman legends.

DOOM on a cannon printer

technically not a port. the original tomb raider was planned as a saturn exclusive because the creator was a massive sega fanboy or some shit.

nah, surprisingly it works about as well as deus ex was ever going to on console

This has less Weresonic stuff and is therefore better.

>not posting doom piano

contra on DOS

I first played GTA 3 and VC on Xbox
Great versions for the time
They had a weird option for this "trails" effect
It annoyed me but I'm not sure if PC or PS2 had it

im pretty sure the wii and ps2 got the same version

>Legacy Edition
It's just a previous version with updated teams.

Yup. This game had the ideas shown in the cancelled Battlefront III footage

...

>its fucking real
youtube.com/watch?v=Xlkg3RLHwHs

this literally used bf3 assets. and the story.

it was bf3, downgrade edition.

History repeats itself.

did this have the combination of ground and air combat?

Dragon's Lair is like the old home computer ports rather than the nes/SNES games.

...

Saturn in generally has me saying "oh that was on Saturn?" more frequently than any other console.
Apparently Megaman 8 is one of the rarest games on the platform and I think many didn't even know the port existed.
