It's not a great console for same room MP but it's easily a top 3 console ever for me.

You say that, but splitscreen 3 or 4 player Halo 3 was a thing every weekend for years and years for my friends and me. The best times. Such fun.

One game don't make it. There's Sonic Transformed too and of course the versus fighters. But compared to Nintendo's output it's niche and relatively paltry.

Also - the MP games I played on 360 weren't properly supported. One player's profile hosted guests instead of being able to join your account to the game (selecting your Mii for example).

That may be the fault of the game devs and not the console, but the relative lack of that type of game its the one Achilles heel it has when looking to rank it among the best.

Just remembering the Virtua Trnnis series too. We need a new one, or a port at least. 3 and 4 were masterpieces.

absolutely loved my 360. Had great games, such a good range. Halo3 got me back into FPS's and outrun 2 was dope as fuck. Ties in with many big life events for me too.

Thinking about a series s for new halo now people are playing it

This annoyed me no end. I still haven't forgiven Travelers Tales for the way they did achievements on co-op.

I just wish Microsoft would buy Sega and bring all that lovely old IP to GamePass. Let’s have a new Virtua Tennis, a new Crazy Taxi, a new Space Channel 5, and a new Power Stone.

Power Stone is Capcom but YES PLEASE, GOD.

I was about to argue against you, but y'know what... I'd be OK with that. Bonus points for both companies if they make a Dreamcast or Saturn-themed Xbox Series X.

Oh yeah. It’s just so tied up with the Dreamcast for me.

Hasn't Forza Horizon practically nabbed and improved Outrun's concept? Outrunning Outrun.

I remember logging on to cod 4 at 5am and half the forum was there.

Will Sega ever attempt an Outrun3? Not sure how they could improve from O2 c2c.

Diluted Dante

No because they dont have the Ferrari license.

Honestly, it's all about the graphics. 120fps, lots of gorgeous lighting... most of the rest can stay the same. Maybe add some kind of burnout/ boost mechanic for score chaining.

VT3 on 360 is very nice but the series lost its way after that. VT4 was a cluttered screw up with a tedious board game hanging everything together. Quickly binned it.

MMO Outrun3, Race across the continent with a cute girl/guy (whatever floats your fancy) in the passenger seat. Slipstream/boost mechanic would be cool. Keep the powerslides in as well. Day/night/dynamic weather cycle. Add in more cars than just ferrari and pitt stops.

Make it so, Sega and MS!

4 was the best MP. 3 was the best SP.

Got up to top 10 global on 3 and 4, hammered fuck out of them online. Best games.

Someone on here gave me a 'not for sale' internal copy of 4 on day of release cos I helped them with some yarr stuff. Can't remember who it was.

davyK

Are all the characters in 4 available without playing that SP tosh? I was really put off by that career mode and stuck with 3.

Howdy, Stranger!
