Man I really enjoyed this generation of consoles. in my opinion I feel that this was when 3D gaming really became a great thing. There was a level of polish and realistic graphics that for me anyways made me feel like I was in another world. I truly felt emersion while gaming I'd never felt before. The textures were might higher quality, better polygon count, actual reflections, shadows, lighting, it was the real deal. I remember when I first played Gran Turismo 3 which was my first time playing a next generation game, my Dad and I were BLOWN away. Anyways, thanks for the nostalgia, I loved this generation of gaming and it's very important to me. Great video!

Both of their DVD drives were dead but luckily I had a friend sell me a 1.4 Xbox with a working DVD drive. Unfortunately that console was dead (probably clock cap killed it), but I was able to salvage the DVD drive to softmod my other systems, and I swapped the GPU heatsink from the dead 1.4 over to my 1.0 since the GPU fan was dying causing it to overheat. I'm so happy I discovered the modding community for these things. These old consoles are great with a few QOL upgrades.

Dreamcast was super efficient for what it was. It took awhile before developers got the ps2 running up to its potential, and before they did it was tough to look at something like Tekken Tag Tournament running next to Soul Calibur, because it made you wonder if the ps2 wasn't quite as powerful as we'd been led to believe.

it's not a job for a mere mortals u need a reflow station an a special socket I think to put the chip in. there is a guy who does it on the net think there called dreambox or something. I like stuff like that an read up on how to doit a long time back but it's a hard process. but results are amazing compared to stock an his work is top notch. but they ain't too cheap

play sc chaos theory, halo 2 or riddick and see all those dinamic shadows and light effects on the orignal xbox was one of the first times i was legitimately blown away by how good graphics can look on a console

Good video man, thanks for doing this. The original Xbox was the first console I actually thought about buying (but didn't). I remember seeing one of the Gotham Racing games and wanting it so bad!

@dslfreak69 4 года назад

Should of mentioned one of the easiest mods to do was swapping out the HDD cable, for some reason Microsoft cheaped out and used an ata/33 cable when both the board and hard drive could handle more lol.. I loved my OG Xbox, and used XBMC like crazy, streaming movies and music to my tv seemed so futuristic at the time

You should try playing BloodWake - probably the most fun boat/ship game for this generation.

@takeshi7 5 лет назад

I effing love that game. And they never added it to backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 or Xbox One AFAIK, so it can only be played on the original Xbox.

@darknespker 5 лет назад

@@takeshi7 Yup. I wish they made a second part for it for the 360. The graphics blew me away considering how old the game was and the hardware it was running on.

@DerFliegendeMocca 4 года назад

Xbox was my first very own console. Blinx, Jet Set Radio Future, and most importantly THPS 3 and GTA San Andreas. I loved it! I probably get a well used one some day and enjoy the nostalgia :)

Everything about this video was spot on right up until where you made an unbelievable, fundamental error that reveals a substantial lack of basic knowledge. It's morning here, not night.

@rubblemonkey6904 5 лет назад

I guess that explains how Team Ninja got their games to look so amazing! Also, I would love to see more console videos especially since so many of them had interesting aspects, like the Dreamcast being able to run Windows CE, the Gamecube's PowerPC cpu, the PS2 using original PS1 cpu as an IO controller, or the Saturn's quad based gpu, and that's just scratching the surface!

I'd love to see a full video on the hl2 xbox port. I remember that I was really impressed by it, but starting in about 2010 and going until now, I've only heard people mention it in passing, as being very unnecessary and compromised, released right before the 360 came out. Still, even compared to the orange box version on the 360, it isn't too bad, in my opinion, really playable, and it looks fantastic.

So many awesome memories on Xbox live with games like Halo 2, Mech assault 1&2, Forza, Project Gotham racing 2, and Crimson skies. Chaos Theory co-op was amazing, and Fable was fresh and hilarious as a youngun.
