How XBOX 360 Games ACTUALLY Looked! 

I read your comment at least 20 times and think about my life...

As a 29 year old about to turn 30, the fact that there are 18-year old ADULTS older than this console is crazy. Like shut up kid! You're younger than the Xbox 360! 😁😂😂

I read your comment, and stared at the words like staring into the abyss, my own mortality looking back at me with eyes, red flashing rings of death.. Almost 20 years!

@@hugopereira5640 im younger than the wii and applying for a job lol

Pfft new generations don't exist anymore since ps3 360 era. Everything's just been a shallow upgrade since

man the drift courses in dirt 1/2 are still the best ive personally experienced in a racing game. but personally, i dont think this is the strongest console generation, and in fact the 3 generations before were far more magical to be a gamer imo. but hey when its your childhood, its hard to see it any differently

@@phillystevesteak6982 i personally don't like playing games older than the PS1 era, but i can definitely see why someone would say the SNES/Genesis is the best console generation for someone that actually experienced it first hand

2011 specially!! Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, MW3, Gears of War 3, Crysis 2, Witcher 2, Portal 2 and most importantly Skyrim. Damn, I can't remember a bad release that year.

@@sunnywagle8995 Duke Nukem Forever came out in 2011 so there’s a bad release, but there were so many good games that i’ll let that one pass 😂

I remember thinking that gta 4, og black ops, halo reach, and skyrim looked really good on a 90s CRT I used to have around 2010-2012. I did not even bother with HDMI on the 360 until after the xbox one released.

Everything has been cut and paste since. Even the new systems feel like a shallow upgrade. I literally call my ps5 a ps3 3.0

Nintendo Wii, too, and that era was something else.

@@J.Wolf90 I call my Xbox One an X360 2.0 and it is still worth operating to this day. PS4 had a slow start and it was all just remastered games for that system, so that's why I stuck to X360 for more innovative games like Forza Horizon, Tomb Raider, Alien Isolation, and Wolfenstein.

@CandelaThirteen I'm sure new games could be downgraded for the ps3 and still have all the same graphics and gameplay with reduced high definition. I like to look at gtaV from ps3 to 4 to 5 as the best example. There's also cod and many other long running franchises that just get the shallowest upgrades with each new game. I also think that these franchises as popular as they are are just playing it safe and holding back a lot of interesting and true innovation in gaming.

@@TheRecklessMetalhead Nintendo "will" Nintendo Will Switch

It was such a huge jump up from the previous gen.

​@@TheDominionOfElites Agreed Was so powerful for its time at that pricepoint and easy for devs to get excellent results compared to PS3.

That's how I felt about the Xbox 360. Getting it at launch and playing PGR3 with the cockpit view, Condemned: Criminal Origins and immersing myself in its terrifying and realistic environments, Kameo and its vivid and colorful cartoonish world, etc. While the Original Xbox did high-definition for some games, not many people had high-definition TV's back then. Xbox 360 felt like the true first step into high-definition gaming, and it was freaking amazing.

@@stuckintheinbetween me and my boys played perfect dark multiplayer for hours 😂😂😂😂

bro...

@@Mrcoconutgun Hello again! This is getting bizzarre, right? I kinda like it though lol.

ten years is a HUGE overstatement. It literally looks like next evolution of the xbox/PS2 Era games. Yes it was stellar, but 10 years ahead of it's time? That would mean the games would have looked as they do now, which they don't.

Baby Simulator?

You might get the joke in a few years. He's right though, the graphics are super lifelike. There are some tough parts even before the simulation begins, you've been warned.

Wasn’t the first Ultimate Ninja Storm a PS3 exclusive?

@@dreamcastdude2398 Ahhh, to be young...

@@flyingplantwhale545 yeah, I think I really started playing UNS 2 and my peak was UNS Generations.

Look is not the problem, it's the frame rate ... Many titles drop below 30

Sonic 06, resident evil 5, gta iv are some of the games that will forever look gorgeous graphically

@@ajsingh4545 Modern warfare 2 was 60 fps target for both ps3/xbox 360.

​@@ChrisThePlayer777 Sonic Unleashed is still an amazing looking game too.

@@treystewart731 Sonic Unleashed was a gorgeous looking game but it looks a bit rough due to its native resolution being under 720p

I know right. I still play my 360s even to this day. The Alan wake games,sleeping dogs and GTA episodes from liberty city mostly. Probably the 2nd most used console in my collection which I use if not playing my ps5. I rarely use my one x or my ps4 pro. I just use my ps3 to record tv shows.

@@Loophole23742sleeping dogs is an absolute banger. It’s so good on 360, I still play it.

You could betray your team on Halo like 30 times before you get kicked. On Halo 5 people get offended too much and don't have as much fun

You know... I was certain that I grew too old or became too picky or bitter or whatever when every recent game I played just made me go 'meh'. But trying the new Forza Motorsport yesterday made me realize that the games are the problem.

@H.E.M no Russian 🇷🇺🙅🏾‍♂️🚫 got way to real in the years 😳 to come lol . I remember mainstream news talking about that mission & how controversial it was at the time. It definitely made COD way more mainstream than it was up until that point

That's the amazing thing. Despite the graphical advancements and frames per second boosts of today. MW2 still looks really good.

@jasonashley9853 expect for the foliage & brick textures which look like a ps2 game when you're up close. But idc,more of an observation than a criticism.

I was 16, and my god was I obsessed with MW2. I still remember checking my playtime just a few months after release and seeing that I had 15 days of playtime, or 360 hours - at that time, I calculated that I was averaging over 4 hours a day despite being in school and being a part of sports and clubs. Every waking moment I possibly could was spent on MW2. And yeah, the game still holds up to this day.

@@ecole146 a lot of kids were obsessed with it back then 😁, I remember people taking days off school just to stay at home n play

this gen is when everyone started complaining about movie games. like cod campaigns

ps4 era had great games with great gameplay, stop generalizing.

Exactly, PS3 God of war 3, The Last of us, Metal gear solid to name a few

Movie games are Not Really A Problem when the movie is Good tho Like some Metal Gear Solid games.

@@ashwindreddy2847 The difference with Metal Gear Solid is that you can actually skip the cutscenes, especially if you want to do repeated playthroughs for the games. Not to mention that MGS gameplay is very unique and fun for those who enjoy stealth based action games. Metal Gear Solid 3 is one of my favourite Metal Gear games, because the gameplay is just too much fun and unique without it going stale. While compared to modern games that pretty much copy n paste the success of The Last of Us, pretty much too many games, especially Sony games have you slowly walk for 15 minutes without anything happening, then magnecticlly climb ledges without any consaqeunces and then have the same repetetive third person camera combat that doesn't have any challenge other then not letting the player turn the camera around to see what's behind them. And of course you can't skip cutscenes, because games now need to be more immersive or interactive. Yeah, it works for the first playthought, but with stuff like New Game +, it's just not worth a second playthrough.

Lost planet was one of the best online games ever I wish they would make it again

@@bigboy815s never got the chance to play it online :(

Im gonna buy 360 because of this video. I have ps3 and ps4 but I want to get into xbox stuff and learn more about it. Fable and red dead is on my list. I have red dead on ps3 but it doesn’t look and perform good so i don’t play it.

​@@Bluebird77750you're better off buying red dead on the PS4 now

@@Bluebird77750 you could always get a Series S and use the backwards compatibility!

This was the generation that brought everything you despise about modern gaming. For my was de PS2-GCN-Xbox era the last KINO era.

I don't think you actually lived to play through this generation if you really meant this lol. Day 1 patches were 100% a thing, and VERY common, season passes were literally introduced in this era and were just as bad, expensive tiny DLC was starting to be a thing, and you absolutely could NOT just put a disc in and play it lol, at least online. it got even worse with later stuff in the ps3 gen, GTAV was just straight up missing half of the games content for the first 3 months. you are being hopelessly nostalgic, you can say this abt ps2/gen 6 and thats abt it.

@@zarathustra- nope..not true, I personally played all my games on the 360 without ever going online ,so no patches no nothing, only once I found a bug (on Black Flag), I also Played GTA V on the 360 and I have no idea what you mean by: "missing half of the games content"

@@vasopel You dont remember GTA online being literally missing from September-late october despite it being advertised on the box? You dont remember 15GB patches being mandatory for online? You bring up black flag, but surely you remember how AC3 and Black Flag were LITERALLY the first games to introduce the idea of season passes? Black Flag is like the first game to introduce the shitty practices you praise lol, youre just being nostalgic dude

@@zarathustra- didn't you read in my comment: "without ever going online" ?, all the games play fine with out never downloading patches on the 360 AND the ps3 (I also never connected that console to the internet)

Blue Dragon is better than all the Final Fantasy games after IX

Thanks for the comment! Personally I’m not a huge fan of motion blur! And excessive motion blur usually reminds me of PS2 games!

I still remember as a kid reading how to "Fix" the Red rings by wrapping your console in towels and letting it run for a few hours, hopefully melting the solder and fixing it. It worked and my xbox ran for years after that.

I've heard the same but luckily the repairs were still covered by the extended warranty, it was just over a year after I bought it and the original warranty would have just barely expired, leaving me with the towel strategies. @@TheJoemeister75

Yeah this happened to me and it took about a month to get it back. I remember being so butthurt about it lol. Oh yeah and I did try wrapping it a towel to melt the heatsync back in place 😂

I was really hyped to finish Mirror's Edge, that was the last game my 360 ran before getting sent for repair.@@reaper6766

Thank you very much!

wrong

@@killer_samm haha.

Gears of War was also Epic's launch title to showcase Unreal Engine 3. Brilliant game that both set the standards for third person shooters and taught us all we really want in life is a machine gun chainsaw.

This is primarily because that generation of hardware started an abysmal graphical arms race that prioritized raw visual fidelity and post processing over resolution and performance. It takes so many visual sacrifices to increase resolution or especially framerate but casual consumers were so annoying about (and still are) graphical fidelity that companies realized that the games could totally play worse and not reach solid resolutions so long as texture quality and post-processing effects were marginally better. Now companies want to push 60fps at the minimum but it took us over a decade of dealing with mediocre performance and resolution to finally get there and even now the focus on visual fidelity is such an ailment that games take longer to make and we have fanboys online bragging about which console has the prettier exclusives like it matters. I love the 360 and PS3 but I really wish that 60fps was the goal of that generation. The PS2 and Xbox have a bevy of games that pushed for 60fps while still being gorgeous and standing the test of time. The 360 and PS3 have games that look good but don't really play super well on original hardware, even if there are plenty of exceptions.

@@SomniaCE excellent analysis all round. We forget that 60fps isn't a new thing.

Thank you much for the feedback! I’m glad you liked it! Muchas gracias 😅

@@VideoGameShowcase One thing you missed is that this was the best decade or era for gaming. Especially on the consoles. Here is how: - The Xbox 360 was the cheaper console, third-party titles looked great and much better for Online Multiplayer. Imagine keeping this in your bedroom. - The PS3 was the cheapest BluRay Player of its time, and great multimedia player in your living room. Also it had some exclusive titles that were movie like, making it a great addition to your house. - The Wii was definitely the weakest of the three in every metric. But it still was relatively cheap. That music was awesome. And it was a great accessory to your home, something to keep the aunties, grands having fun and the kids busy. So yes, buy all three! As for PC Gaming it was entering into a new age with Windows 7, Intel Core-i Sandy Bridge, and GTX-600 series around the end of the 7th-gen console period. Emulation was coming back. And indie titles were starting to populate Steam. So I guess that's four, what about handhelds? Well, ideally you would've started or continued on this era with your PSP Slim/Brite. Lots of PS1 and PS2 era games right there in your pocket. And if you're a Nintendo Fan, the DS Lite just fills that void on the cheap. So ideally you would've gone: PS1, N64, GBC, PS2 (sell PS1), Windows XP (sell N64), DS Lite (sell GBC). (2005) Xbox 360, PSP Brite (sell DSL), PS3 (sell PS2), Wii, new3DS (sell PSP), Gaming PC (sell Wii). (2015) PS4 (sell 360), Upgraded Gaming PC (sell PS3), NSwitch (sell new3DS), PS5 (sell PS4), Valve SteamDeck OLED (sell NSwitch).

Nothing that's come after it has felt near as good to me and one of the best things about moving to PC is I've been able to play with the 360 controller again. Seems like Everytime I bring this up people say the Xbone/Series/Dualshock4/5 are all better

@@THNF89 the dualshock is pretty nice and ngl the dualsense ps5 controller really might just be better, but if someone thinks the xbox one roller is better theyre on crack

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

I’ll admit I’m not the most knowledgeable person to talk about Halo 😅 I’m sorry I skipped it! And thanks for the feedback!

Wow yeaahh! I remember when i was a kid, see the gameplay of halo 3 and thinked is the real life or something similar

Oh, the user interface nowadays is a mess. It's like a bad mobile game filled with nonsense, super confusing... just awful unfortunately!

@@VideoGameShowcase Thanks Little Naughty! hehehehe

It's amusing that you say that era of CoD was the best. I've always considered it to be the worst as it tumbled it downhill where it is today.

@@EvilWiffles CoD2 to MW3 was the best era for the franchise. Everything else since Black Ops 2 is the same recycles, and I have not played a single installment since that one, that's it.

Thank you very much for the comment, I'm glad you liked it!

Thank you very much!!!

it's pretty great yeah! but my internet hates it lol

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

@VideoGameShowcase ah love your username and picture 🤣😅

@@VideoGameShowcase Thanks man, i appriciate it. I enjoyed your video a lot!

…7th gen was the gen that popularized patches, because they all had and expected you to use internet support

I still buy physical

What are you talking about the Switch uses the Tegra x1 released in 2015. Switch is ancient hardware.

@@switchdeck9164 Yeah...I know. I'm saying the 360 was very impressive for its time.

Because that was the only 360 I ever used for a good while I thought those were the regular sounds. It took me years to find out I was wrong! Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been manually setting the color range because the auto mode probably caused a mismatch! That’s both on the console and the capture card, of course! Thanks!!!

@@VideoGameShowcase Cool. I notice a couple of others mentioned it in the comments too so apologies for that :) Also the 360 has options for display - normal, enhanced and extended (something like that anyway lol) Have you tried playing with those? Not sure what the best setting is for that tbh

It’s been a while but I believe extended is PC range (full range)!

@@VideoGameShowcase Right. Makes sense

The delisted one, yes! Thanks for the comment!

Thanks. Appreciate it!

Never knew it came out for the Wii U, nice!

Yeah, that’s actually a better choice than a modern 4K set! Awesome!

No they don’t 😂😂 720p is barely hd

@@gatrow581 720p is not barely HD, it's 100% HD. Anything at 720p or above is HD. Most PS3/360 run at 720p or upscale to 720p resolution. So playing on 720p TV will still give you a good image. There is reason PS2 games look terrible on HD TV, but great with a CRT. Also, can depend on the size of the screen. Why do you think switch and steamdeck are using 720p/800p. Because you will barely notice a difference between 4k and 1080p playing 20 inch monitor/TV. I emulate PS3 games at 4k by the way. . Lol.

@@gatrow581 watch a DVD on a decent crt tv with 5 RCA, 720p is HD and looks amazing. It just looks like shit when stretched to 4k screens. Seems everything made in 4k today looks great but lacks in quality content. The best movies shows and games still hold up great when used in their native habitat

Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed it!!!

@Duomonnnnn unless you're SEGA & kept releasing crappy sonic the hedgehog games & people kept buying it. Smh

@@cryptocsguy9282 yea I mean their was definitely crappy companies back then but it’s a industry norm now, and sega probably realized that sonic was such a household name that they could get away with it, I actually really liked sonic sega all star racing though, they actually did pretty well on that one, but yea I heard a lot of the main line games are awful copy and pastes, but nowadays I can’t think of a company that’s not really like that, maybe besides rockstar and fromsoftware, everyone else like call of duty, assassin creeds, any sports game, etc realize they are too big to fail and know they can half ass a copy pasted game to a mass of drones who pre order it right away

Yep I agree that unfinished garbage games that rely on too many updates or just remain broken are of course more common nowadays as online updates and downloading of games has become more common. I enjoy sonic and sega all stars racing and sonic and all stars racing transformed over the mainline games and the crappy sonic riders racing games that came out back in the 7th gen too. also I agree that fromsoftware doesn't release broken trash but rockstar does with the GTA trilogy re-release but they're part of take2 and other take2 studios release broken crap like buggy WWE 2k in the 8th gen @Duomonnnnn

@@cryptocsguy9282 that’s actually a good point, I was thinking red dead 2 but that might’ve just been a one off thing and I also heard they kinda abandoned the rdr2 multiplayer after the game was released so maybe they aren’t as good as I thought, but like studios like bethesda are the absolute worst, re releasing skyrim like 10 times while still having the same glitches as day 1 is crazy, also the fact that starfield was one of the worst games I’ve ever played but theirs still a army of fanboys who will defend it no matter what not knowing they are just setting the bar lower and lower with zero standards, they just want something to consume and will take quantity over quality anyday, and the companies know that and will purposely rush out games they know aren’t finished because of those same fans already pre ordering it without knowing a single thing about the game, back during the ps3 days it seemed like they actually had some expectation and were forced to make a good polished game if they wanted good sales, then right after that the gaming industry got huge and they became too big to fail, my favorite games on ps3 were little big planet 1 and 2 and then by the 3rd game they rushed it and it came out with countless problems and your profile would randomly delete and you’d lose all progress, it’s been 9 years and they still haven’t fixed it but have made multiple crappy spin offs, they even deleted the servers on the original 2 games so you weren’t able to go play on them so million’s of community levels deleted and if you wanted to play you’d have to go play the broken 3rd game, basically destroyed the community

Yes bethesda is bad with releasing buggy games that they can't be bothered to fix and have done that since the original elder scrolls arena in the mid 90s and also I know that the spyro franchise was killed off on ps2 before it's 1st reboot pre skylanders after naughty dog stopped making the games when spyro enter the dragon fly was rushed out as buggy unfinished crap for the 2002 Christmas season so there's a lot of high profile examples of devs taking the piss and releasing bad unfinished nonsense before the 7th/8th gen but in the days of day 1 patches and updates it has become worse. Rockstar abandoning read dead 2 online is interesting since I think I remember them abandoning single player add ons for GTA 5 in favour of GTA online , dunno why thy didn't attempt to push red dead 2 online the same way since GTA online makes so much money and yh I think it's a shame when companies shout down online servers and you lose access to valuable online content like the user generated levels in little big planet , my cousin used to play that game a lot back in the day and i've though about playing the psp version since I don't have a ps3@@Duomonnnnn

Thank you very much!!!
