Do we have any idea what the 'updated' games have had changed?
I attempted to play Forza a while back and the framerate was verging on unplayable (which given it pushed the original Xbox when it was released, under emulation, it's hardly surprising).

Ninja Gaiden and Fable now seem to be slowdown free and are working with the VGA cable... Mild problem though in that I'm not getting any sound at all

Will have to try the RCA out instead of optical.

So having never had an original Xbox, which of those would be worth buying if I can get them cheap from somewhere?

Supposedly yes, guns, explosions and generally killing people dead. What's not to like

I'm also getting no sound in game. I goto the menu and I get sound but none in game. Fix one thing break another. Damn!

I saw the trailer and I thought it looked completely pointless. Just walking around with a gun going off.

Which is why I'm renting it!

I think it's quite a short game too, isn't it? Something to play for a couple of days.

I wasn't impressed by the demo myself, in fact it convinced me not to buy it.

i-bert · 30 Mar 2006 at 21:03

I've just tried Forza and the sound is all messed up.I never tried it before the update so i don't know if it was like this before.

Black ? excellent , another game added to my want list

I suppose I have to download the updates throught the 360 live to get it to work though ?

Either that or you can download a CD image from xbox.com and burn it on a PC and pop that in your 360.

Vogon · 30 Mar 2006 at 22:04

Excellent thats what I want to hear until I sort out an internet connection for the 360

No where near. But its an ok game nonetheless. I dunno, it just seems to be all flash no substance.

Either way, it works very well on the Xbox 360 so I'll be playing it on the 360 instead of my Xbox
