Forums - Microsoft - RUMOR: Achievements to be patched into original Xbox titles.

d21lewis on 23 December 2008

Every original Xbox game I've bought since 2007 has that "0 of 0" screen. It'd be nice, but I don't see it happening. Really, the only one who'd profit from this is Gamestop. They're the only ones selling original Xbox games anymore. Microsoft wants us buying new games (and gamerscore is a HUGE motivator), not replaying the old ones. Really, I don't even know when the last time they updated the backwards compatibility was.

It's a gamer's wet dream, but it's not going to happen. Sorry.

thats why only the XBOs makes sense.  they can still sell them directly to the consumer.

It could happen, and it should. Halo 2 on PC already has achievements. I could see MS add the same ones for the original Xbox version, and such.

Awesum! :3



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I'm on my Wii, and it won't follow the link. Can someone paste it here?

I think they should make each title have 500 gamer points up for grabs, as the Originals are between the Arcade and Retail games in terms of value.

Also, if this is true, I'd try out Psychonauts, since I've been interested in the game but never had an incentive to play it.

Samr here, although I was hoping for a sequel but I guess this will do.

 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I only own Halo 2 for the Xbox. Every other title I can play on my 360 is either XBLA or a 360 disc title.

Since they have achievements for Halo 2 PC, it would be REALLY easy for them to patch this.


Anything else, that'd be cool but I don't really care.

^^' Cool. Not that it will encourage me to play the game more.

maybe just for the XBOs

Exactly. There's no reason for them to go after games that aren't on the service or won't be in the future. There's no profit in that. As long as they let me get the achievements from my disc based copies, I'll be happy. I want some Guilty Gear XX love MS!

I'm going to get Halo CE then. That would be awesome.
