Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the Microsoft Xbox, and with that special date comes an anniversary stream from the Xbox team, celebrating everything from the past two decades. Curiously, some Xbox games from the past two decades have gotten some mysterious patches prior to the live stream event. Titles like Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fable Anniversary, Fable 3, Dead Space 1 and 3, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have all gotten new updates, which don't appear to add anything immediately noticeable. These weird unknown updates might be a part of tomorrow's reveals, though, so be sure to tune in to the Xbox stream tomorrow at 10am PT/5pm GMT.

I liked the lighter PS4 controller but They both get the job done in the end.

I really like the DS4 controller, but the touch pad and the colored light was just a stupid gimmick that makes me wish they would have done an edition without it.

On a more positive note, DS4 works on PS3 and if you have a PS3 BC then you can use a PS4 controller to play PS2 games! That's friggin' awesome.

Would love to hear more info on this, specially for what it adds on original hardware.

I wish Red Dead Revolver received an Xbox One patch because I remember it being so glitchy on the 360.

The RDR most never heard, yet it's so great.

I am no fan of Playstation, I'm just simply making a joke. I do wish Microsoft make all of their controllers as rechargeable built-in batteries as Sony does. I am not a fan nor the money to keep buying AAs just to play the system. I don't have Xbox Series or One. I only see stuff online.

It's not 1994 anymore. Why are you buying disposable batteries when AA Enelopes exist? I'm STILL using the same ones I purchased in 2012!

I need Midtown Madness 3 and Crimson Skies playable on modern platforms/PCs!

We are almost there with Xemu.

This. I don't even remember when I bought my first Enelopes. But they're still being used. Amazon Basics are really, really good too. Some have said they are rebranded Enelopes.

I’d argue that even that is somewhat outdated when shaped li-ion packs exist. When using a rechargeable AA, no matter what type, you’re always sacrificing run time due to lower voltage - Eneloops and NiMH peak at 1.2V whereas alkalines and carbon zinc batteries are 1.5V. With a pair of traditional rechargeables you’ll always get a peak of 2.4V, which is considerably less than the 3V provided by non-rechargeables the controller was designed for. By contrast, the latest Microsoft rechargeable pack uses a li-ion pouch as opposed to two integrated cells, so you’re getting 3V like you’re supposed to, plus it’s higher capacity. All that aside, you are correct - using rechargeables is always recommended, there is no need to fill landfills with spent traditional cells anymore.

Who needs an Xbox when you can get a Playstation lol.

Tough words coming from a rabid fanboy. Tone it done and accept that people like different consoles.

 

[IRoyzo]

Probably more games to their cloud gaming services

I can't wait for all the "diversity" and loot boxes to be retroactively fucked into my older games. Fuck that.

They have actually slowly changed some in game dialogue and story text from time to time while removing some older features.

When have they done that? News to me.

I love that more titles from previous consoles are added to the Xbox Series catalog, above with patches that improve the gaming experience.

You could say that it is Microsoft's "Virtual Console", I hope they do not forget the original XBOX and not only put X360 games

 

[ElSasori69]

Interesting, I always found that giving updates to an old game like something amusing... unless they do to block content or for censorship.

 

[subcon959]

They are obviously downloading more RAM.

Microsoft once again ripping off Nintendo, this time by copying stability updates

 

[Crazynoob458]

i hope the updates did something

 

[HarveyHouston]

Titles like Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, Fable Anniversary, Fable 3, Dead Space 1 and 3, Dragon Age Origins, Dragon Age 2, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have all gotten new updates...​

...And Rock Band?

Fightcade 2 will help for that with MvC2. You can play both dreamcast and arcade versions online for free.

True... but I prefer playing on my couch in front of the TV rather than on my PC.

Maybe I should get around to figuring out the network adapter mod for my Dreamcast and play on that... or attempt to fix the YLoD on my PS3... or route a real long hdmi cable from my PC to my TV...

 

[SaulFemm]

Really? Can't we all just enjoy the consoles we want? I say this as a PS4 owner

I think he must actually be an 8-year-old

Tough words coming from a rabid fanboy. Tone it done and accept that people like different consoles.

Funny, coming from the same person that said "Lol, and to think people enjoy these games". What a hypocrite. Care to explain to us all why you didn't tone it "done" and accept that people like different games? Not to mention the entire "town it down" bit, immediately after something like "tough words coming from a rabid fanboy." Two instances of hypocrisy in two sentences. Want to go for three in your next post?

 

[scroeffie1984]
