Among the Xbox 360 titles that got improved thanks to a recent update of Microsoft's powerful emulator, there was a certain Gears of War 2, now playable in 4K. Time to stir up a little bit of nostalgia in ultra high definition, the best of both worlds some might say!
Melmoth @Sdarts: I vaguely remember that game from back then. Never played it. (1 Week ago)
Sdarts I loved this game, you can play with different characters, each with their own abilities. You had a dash, that was basically like flying - Really cool mechanic. Squaresoft at its best. (1 Week ago)
Sdarts But got to a place where I couldn't progress further, because I didn't understand Japanese - before 2000, I wanna say. Really liked it and still remember it randomly sometimes. (1 Week ago)
Sdarts And then later their American versions. There was this Japanese game only released in Japan, I think it was from Squaresoft, the game was quite cool and I went very far in it. (1 Week ago)
Sdarts @nostradamus: Yes, PSX, N64 & Sega Saturn as well. Those days, I played a lot of imported games. I believe I played Final Fantasy 8 around 6 months before the US release. Tenchu 1 & 2 in Japanese. (1 Week ago)

"Snappers Mocap" showed the amount of hyper realism you can get out of UE4 last year.

The Coalition should pair up to make Gears5. their most realistic gears ever.
maybe so. UE4 has gotten incredibly beefed up over the years.

A game based on "Infiltrator"

Or Twin Blast's own game.

take your pick. all seem pretty interesting.
Hence the notion that PS4 can "emulate" PS3 is absurd just as much... they are far better off making "4K HD Remakes" because at least there you may actually gain new assets, higher quality textures (see The Last of Us and Uncharted and Dark Souls"
It works that way (having to download a game package) because that's how the Xbox One is made, it never play a game straight from the disk, only from the HDD so it has to be installed/downloaded first.
A 360 (or OG Xbox) game on Xbox One is just the original game (ISO or whatever, but untouched code) packaged with an emulator into a native Xbox One app package.
This way the Xbox One loads up a game package (which is an emulator) that loads the 360 or OG game, that's all.
And the X enhanced 360 games are simply using a different setting in the emulator to force a resolution 3 times higher in both directions (720p results in 2160p).
The same trick is used for every OG Xbox games but by 4 times on X and 2 times on S (and base Xbox One).
