It's pretty cool to see these emulators get better and better. Especially with the lack of game preservation these days.
Yargh, aye matey!
I grew up with the 360 so this is impressive.
Lack of game preservation? How so? I feel we are in a golden age of game preservation
@@chanunnaki gaming is pretty much all digital. when those servers go down or the license expires you rely on piracy (if its even possible on the system). even if you're buying games on disc you're getting a crappy version that was probably built 2 months before the game was sold with no dlc support. then theres games where the main selling point was the online component. dont even get me started on Nintendo's self destructing digital only games like that mario battle royal. nothings being preserved.
@@chanunnaki Even many old online only games have custom servers, since original is gone.
We can partially blame GameSpy for that, as so many games used it.
It's super interesting that we reach the era of stable 7.generation emulations. Things like Xbox 360, PS3, WiiU are almost on that level.
I'm happy that we keep researching behind them. It's super important for preservation.
WiiU emulation was fairly good back in 2018
@@Emoziga Wii u is 8th generation
Even the switch emulation is quite good actually, emulation reached a quite impressive milestone in history, why bother keeping these old consoles and the stress of maintenance,I have 2 xbox 360 here that don't even read discs anymore . Emulation is very important to the preservation of these hardwares
@@baguete02 yup, consoles are becoming more similar to PCs since it isn't worth it to make custom chips, emulation will only get easier
@@baguete02 While I enjoy emulation (massive DosBox fanboy) I also still enjoy of hardware too, though my entire game collection has long been digitized for preservation of the original diskettes,CDs/DVDs, and carts
The steam deck is the gold standard for portable gaming.
Yeah! I hope it forces the competition to get off their butts so that we can get a huge selection of killer portable consoles. Also screw Nintendo for selling such an underpowered, yet so expensive Switch.
@@ContemporaryCultist the Switch and Steam Deck hits different parts of the market. They both play games, but one is a fairly closed system with a fairly controlled experience, the other is a fairly open system that has avenues to tailor your experience however you want. One pushes the limit to being a handheld size, the other is a "handheld" technically but let's be real.
The Switch was never designed to be a powerhouse, it was designed to be a Nintendo experience on the go. Steam Deck was designed to bridge the gap between handheld and PC gaming so it needs to be optimized in some areas and relatively powerful to deliver an acceptable to good experience.
There are also competitors looking to see if they can enter the Steam Deck's space with even better hardware, but time will tell.
@@songolin4544 I don’t get why people are still complaining about Nintendo hardware not being comparable to competitors. They decided back in the N64 days that they didn’t want to chase hardware and just went with being a curated and different experience. And that’s never going to change.
It could be a bit more portable though
@@projectgoatse well GameCube days but close enough
For Condemned 1, definetly recomand the PC port. Like FEAR 1, it supports soft shadows if FSAA is disabled. (X360 only has hard, stencil shadows a la Doom 3). There is also an A.I. upscaled texture mod and a proper 16:9 mod for UI elements and the loading screens artwork. Great improvements.
Pretty sure the pc version has no controller support
@@james-ch Everything on steam has controller support with steam's controller configuration settings. There's already multiple community configs for this game I'm sure.
Yes I came to the comments for a sanity check as I was nearly sure I played condemned on pc instead of PS3.
That would surely be the way to play it. The pc port didn't suffer like so many in the 360, PS3 era.
Edit: yes, it's a tenner on steam
@@james-ch lol I played through Jedi Knight on the steam deck and that game most certainly doesn't have controller support. Steam input is very good.
Yeah it has no controller support. At best you can use steam input but you won't have aim assist so using guns will be a little tricky.
9:10 Condemned Criminal Origins has a PC version which continues to be sold on Steam to this day.Would be nice to test Condemned 2 since that is exclusive to consoles!
no clue why they didn't release the sequel on pc.
@@finallife87 missed opportunity tbh
@@finallife87 A lot of people at the time thought PC gaming was dying. Steam eventually took off though.
Day 1 360 owner here. I had perfect dark zero at launch and I had a good time with using bots in local multi-player. I didn't have a internet connection back then. I would put bots in a small map and set it to rockets only, I would then hide somewhere and use the secondary firing mode to pilot the rockets around the map chasing bots. Or I would find them fighting each other and get 2 or 3 at a time. I had a good time with the game in this regard, pretty entertaining I thought.
Same here 360 no internet and man I loved bot fights in Perfect Dark.
I’m hoping to run PDZ in 60fps at some point. The OG gameplay was held back by 30 fps lock.
Exactly the same on 007 nightfire gamecube version, I loved the weapons and gadgets, destroying bots was fun.
PDZ was one of the first games I bought for the 360. Played it for a hour or so up until the nightclub level then traded it in, awful game. Looks like a Gamecube game and has terrible controls.
They dont make them shooters like they used to. I mean i like new stuff too dont get me wrong but i love firing up my 360 to play some generic fps game
Both Xenia and Steam Deck are impressive and having PS3/X360 and Wii generation of games emulated on a handheld is mind-blowing!
Makes me wonder.
Since you cant play GTA V offline mode without DRM Register to the Rockstar Launcher, can the Steam Deck emulate the 7th Gen Versions of that Game instead?
@@applehazeva2739 at that point I'd just pirate GTA V for PC to play offline
@@greentray1231 just thought of it becouse someone once said that the 7th Gen Versions are only 18-22 GB :D but yeah thats more logical to do
@@zacharywilhelm2462 can you tell me which folder to put the iso in I need help
@@zacharywilhelm2462 I’m running emu deck
Wow, that is wild. I was of the impression that Xbox 360 Emulation is still in its infancy. But I'm very pleasantly surprised.
it definitely is a bit, this is kinda a unprecedented improvement in such a short time. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Microsoft releasing the dx9 to dx12 translation layer.
I was playing burnout revenge on Xbox 360 emulation 3 years ago.
@@randybobandy9828 on what hardware tho?
now we need PS3 emul for the full package😎
Condemned is a strange recommendation. It's still available on Steam and is Steam Deck playable. I haven't tried it, myself, but perhaps I will.
Condemned 2 is a console exclusive and it's 100% playable with great performance (120 fps is doable) in Xenia. It still doesn't render correctly in RPCS3.
No joypad support in Condemned for PC. Big problem for me.
@@Dreddtube Have you tried the community layouts? The "precise mouse with Xbox-like controls" of Emilio work fine for me.
From a technical standpoint, what changed in the canary branch to cause such significant improvements? Do you know what they specifically optimized? @ModernVintageGamer
was wondering about this as well. Will google.
RTFPR
Due to the rumors about the Xenia performance boost, I finally did a Call of Juarez 1 playthrough. Seing 120 fps locked (or more) was hilarious. At 720p, the game dislikes rez scaling. It was a great experience. Just fully finished a playthrough.
It actually brings tears to my eyes to see that we are emulating Xbox 360 and Playstation 3s on a handheld device. I recall an issue of Next Generation Gaming or EGM magazine that said that we would have PlayStation 3 power level handheld devices by 2030. At the time I thought that it was ridiculous because the PlayStation 2 was the fresh hot thing and I just could not imagine anything strong enough to emulate that on handheld. I am so happy that we are finally at this point and I hope that the community continues to drive us forward into better and better emulation.
Tears? Bruh it's a video game lmao if you're a grown man you should get your testosterone levels checked at the dr
I didn't have tears, but I may or may not have had a big shit-eating grin on my face this whole video 😅
The funny thing too is that it's not even a PS3 power level device, it's far more powerful than that. It's above PS4 level in terms of CPU performance, hence why emulating the PS3/360 is even possible in the first place. Which makes that prediction from EGM even further off.
@@kyler247 Wow. It's sad you equate tears of joy with weakness, that's such a dinosaur attitude. Personally I think it's sweet it's such a big deal to him and I smiled reading his comment.
It's got nothing to do with testosterone levels anyway, that's not accurate it's ignorant. It's
perfectly possible to be a strong, buff dude who also has a sensitive side...
@@VexAcer That seems accurate based on the fact that PS4 and Xbox One devices including their Pro and X counterparts are running, what is it, AMD Jaguar CPU type architecture? Which is basically laptop grade if I remember rightly 😁
My deck has become my prime console now, I love my 165hz monitor but something about being able to play mass effect anywhere I want is just absolutely mind blowing to me. I'll have to try out Xbox 360 emulation.
You should try armored core for answer on the 360 emulator
Mass Effect games, except Andromeda, work on Steam Deck natively. There’s no reason to emulate them.
@@DefekacjaOdbyta I was going to say, honestly most any 360 games that are on steam with PC ports should just use them as they're going to run smoother and take less power.
@@DefekacjaOdbyta i don't think they meant they were talking about emulating Mass Effect
@@DefekacjaOdbyta The problem with the PC versions is dealing with EA’s launcher. Things are apparently broken right now because they’re switching over to a new one.
Very impressive achievement from Xenia team!
Hope to see this on Linux as well! Not touching Windows with a 10ft pole
Yeah kind of defeats the whole point of the Steam Deck.
@@parkerlreed idk about that, i just hate Windows
@@DyoKasparov same!
Lol, same here , I've been using Linux since 2007.
@@AkiraElMittico being into games, I started using Linux for the first time at the start of this year, since the Deck was coming out, and am loving it.
This is exactly what I want the Steam Deck for, being an emulation machine primarily.
If you would have told me I could have a PS3 or Xbox 360 the size of the Steam Deck just a few years go, I'd think you were tripping.
Imagine how much better it will be when there's a good version for steamos. My god, it will be spectacular! Do another video on it when the stable version is on steamos.
Let's be real, like every other emulator on pc it will perform worse and have stability issues on steamos
@@skurasch I didn't test on a steam deck, but on my desktop computer Yuzu works way better in linux.
@@pessoaanonima6345 I won't pretend to claim to have tested yuzu on linux on a pc but I've owned a steam deck for several months and used both steamos and windows and I've not found a single emulator that performs better on steamos. There may be emulators I haven't tried but I've def tried most of them from msx to ps3
@@skurasch you're forgetting that Windows itself performs far worse on the steam deck then steamos. Even if the performance on Linux isn't any better on regular computers, it'll be much better on the steam deck.
@@skurasch From what I've seen and my own testing, emulators that have a Linux version perform amazing with OpenGL and Vulkan renders actually. As good or better than on Windows.
It's amazing that you can run Xbox 360 games without any issues on Steam Deck. Thumbs up to developers.
I know right? Portable Red Dead Redemption, finally. Rockstar missed a trick not releasing RDR1 and any GTA for the Switch. They like making easy money by doing lazy re-releases, seems like they missed a trick there 😁
@@bluemonday1621 I guess gta “definitive” edition does not exist
@@Omelander I nicknamed it The Diminutive Edition as its worse than the originals in so many ways, so yeah, they don't exist. Anyway I was thinking more GTA IV or V.
GTA V is running on PS3, PS4 and PS5 so why did they never port the PS3 engine version to the Switch as they make disgusting amounts of money exploiting GTA Online. Man I remember seeing that on GTA V launch day when I got the 360 version as a forthcoming service (it wasn't finished at the time) and thinking "nothing good will come of this".
As nearly a decade later there isn't a GTA VI I suppose that was kinda true...
@@bluemonday1621 it would take 20 minutes for 5 to load on switch
@@Omelander RDR2 takes 3-5 minutes to load on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X but it doesn't make the game unplayable. Anyway, with RDR1 the textures are lower res and they'd probably downsample them to fit within the limited RAM of the Switch (although to be fair PS3 and X360 had less than 1GB RAM each and they handled it whereas the Switch has 4GB). 20 minutes to load is hyperbole on a flash storage based machine. The Witcher 3, for example, only took a few minutes. Saber Interactive did a great job porting that considering the technical limitations of the Switch. DOOM 2016 was a pretty good effort too.
Condemned has a native PC version! It's on Steam and works well.
It works nice on Linux with proton
steam is missing sound effects play the original pc version that came out on dvd
@@agamaz5650 or just play it on a Xbox series console, its backwards compatible there and run at 60
@@prodyg if you have the console, yes. But most of us don't :/
I’m loving the Steam Deck, so much potential!
Just wait until competing handhelds get ahold of RDNA2 graphics(the SD's biggest advantage) too, then this stuff is really going to take off! Especially with how Steam just drove the price down in this market too(if the other lower volume brands can even get that low and still have a decent margin anyway).
Same here, It's amazing what this handheld can do, it's turned to my primary emulation device with other PC games...
@@RyTrapp0 Yeah a Zen3/RDNA2 SD-like system.
@Rob ...wut...
you're hollering at a child who'd secretly LOVE to have a deck, but can't. so he throws a tantrum. have a ❤
MVG, you know Condemned is on Steam, right? It's not going to be lost to time when it has a PC port.
Condemned 2 isn't on PC though.
Condemned 1 is backwards compatible on the series x. Sadly the sequel is not.
If only we could get a native Linux version of xenia would be amazing
We do through emudeck. However it's got a lot of bugs
@@sinetwo emudeck version never seems to work and always crashes
There is native support for Linux but its experimental and incomplete.
It's honestly amazing to see how much power we can have in a handheld these days. 360 games running on a handheld, a handheld that's also booted into Windows instead of native, is honestly fucking awesome
It's absolutely WILD. I have a fairly decent PC and i couldn't run MCLA beyond 10/15 FPS, my CPU just isn't enough (i5 7600k)
@@Ferrari255GTO I'd hate to be that person but... the platform your CPU is on is 7 years old. Assuming your GPU is matching it, your PC was decent for the time, but by today's standards it's quite behind.
i actually got the windows version of xenia running using lutris. I have only tried Crash Wrath of cortex and Crash of the titans but both run with full performance and controllers work fine out the gate.
Any chance you could walk me through how to do that?
Anyone that wants to do this for their Steam Deck, I have a Windows Dual Boot + Controller Tutorial alongside many tests for 360 games on Xenia!
Great video MVG, and really happy to see someone else shining a light on 360 Emulation for the Steam Deck.
Legit, thank you for your videos. My deck arrived the other day and I already have a bootable win10 SD card. The Steam Deck is awesome 😎.
Subd!
We missed you MVG, your videos are so informative!
Hey, I hit you up on Twitter with this the day it came out. This was a game-changer update, Saints Row went from 15fps average on a 3080 to a fixed 30fps (the frame rate cap). It was absolutely amazing, and I happened to pick it up mere hours after the PR was merged. It was incredible.
These are games that were built to run at 30fps now hitting stable 60s...
I'll have to check this out. I've kept my 360 for two reasons, Console collection and Forza Motorsport 4. If i can get that working on the deck, i'll be quite happy
I'm waiting to see if valve release an oled version of the Deck, or maybe a pro version in the near future.
Same. I can't do LCD anymore.
I can't stare at an oled screen for too long :( the oled switch gives me headaches
Lame
They said they want to make a stronger version, but i dont think were getting till late 2024 or early 2025
A comparison of the 360-emulated version and the native PC version of "Condemned 1" would be great.
The PC version runs maxed out in 1280x800 (1280x720 + black bars) stable 60 fps and uses only 7.5 - 8.5 watts.
The 360 version seems to run with 40 - 45 fps (can the emulator be set to 40Hz/40fps?) with probably lower settings.
And how long is the battery life while running emulated Xbox360-games?
“Forza textures are fine,” he says whilst the wing mirrors only show up in shadows 🔦
Those emulation focused videos that you're doing for the Steam Deck are extremely appreciated. Thank you
This update seems to have broken Depth of Field (DoF) rendering in Red Dead Redemption, along with many other titles such as GTA IV, Tomb Raider Legend, just to name a few.
Still waiting on my Steam Deck (October-December 2022) but isint putting Windows on Deck supposed to be a garbage experience? Has it gotten any better and is it now worth putting on Deck for these emulators?
I would wait for a Linux emulator to run on the deck there is one but as he said it's not great yet
Yeah Windows is still kinda gargabe on the Deck. Not recommended.
FYI, Condemned Criminal Origins has a native PC build, it's the sequel, bloodshot that's console locked.
Great coverage, thanks for your work, as always. My Steam Deck order FINALLY came up last week, confirmed it and just waiting for it to ship!
Condemned is my favorite game from that generation. And the sequel bloodshot, I really liked the paranormal aspect of the second one. Was such a great story as well. I doubt any game will be made like that ever again...hard to believe it's a 17yr old game
I've been playing around with PS3 emulator on my deck. Last time I checked it out it was far behind what it is now. Absolutely mind boggling how decently it runs on deck hardware!@
Looks like motion blur isn't working around the car in FH2. Honestly amazing these games are running on a handheld at all.
That background music playing when showing Burnout and Fable reminded me of those Hollywood Poker Pro games for Amiga 😅
The big thing missing for me is kinect support. Controler titles are better on PC. Consoles with their inferior compute power were only interesting to me for their motion controls. Modern TVs with their low latency make kinect games a lot more responsive, but rendering them at fluid 60 in 4k would help the experience even more. Sadly microsoft doesn't provide back compatibility for those titles. If they are not preserved through emulation they will die with the consoles. Also an iOS version of the emulator with a software kinect could become interesting, as apple uses the prime sense tech of the first kinect for their device unlocks.
Gonna wait till the xenia version on EmuDeck gets updated to this build, I've genuinely no interest in putting Windows on the Deck. Super impressed with those gains though. Might finally end up playing through that Red Dead game.
There isn't really an EmuDeck specific build of xenia, instead EmuDeck runs the Windows version of Xenia (the only one available right now) in a Proton container. So you're running an emulator through a compatibility layer, which adds complexity, and thus bugs and stability issues.
The Xenia developers are working on a Linux-native build that they say is coming "eventually," but there's no set date for that, so it could be years away.
@@marsilies Eeh, dxvk/proton stuff is pretty robust as is, it'll run Xenia just fine. Hell it runs a lot of things just fine and sometimes even better than on windows even though it's through translation layers. I just suspect that the build in EmuDeck isn't the latest canary is all, just a matter of waiting for that to happen in my usecase.
Gday MVG! Have a good weekend! Thanks for the video!
I have always been curious on how well this would run on it.
same here
Condemned is on PC. I own the real disc, but it's also available on Steam.
No need to emulate if you want to try out Condemned: Criminal Origins, it's available on the Steam store and is rated platinum over on ProtonDB so should run really well on the Deck out of the box. The sequel however, now that's a game that never came out on PC, though I believe it struggles to be emulated with visual artefacts impacting the experience.
Managed to get the emulator working via proton, which is pretty awesome. If the Xenia development team optimize it for vulkan, it will be incredible. For now, I'll play the goldeneye remaster.
which version of proton are you using?
@@RebuildandRenovate Latest one that Valve offers. You can also try GE though. Still manage expectations that demanding games will be a slideshow when using Vulkan.
Awesome video. Thanks for the heads up regarding this new build!
Always exciting to see emulator getting increased performance update.
Soon as you said condemned I had flashbacks of my launch day Xenon before RROD was a thing (which I had happen later on) and playing that game because someone at GameStop recommended it. I honestly thought it was great but those mannequins gave me a jump scare the first time!
🍿, also hope to see you on the Spawncast tonight 👍🏾
Doesn't loading windows onto a SD card eventually knacker the card???
Using a 60FPS patch for Fable 2 got me a steady 60 with very infrequent drops and stutters. I played through the entire game from start to finish and it felt great. Red Dead would run at 60 at the beginning but the FPS would slowly drop off down to the low 40's for me and I couldn't find a fix for it. What I mean by that is I could save quit the game and restart the app and it would run at 60 but then it would slowly drop off again down to 40 over the course of about 20-30 minutes. Crackdown wouldn't load past the start menu, Need for Speed Most Wanted had terrible FPS issues but that's just an issue with that game, and I played a few Lego games that ran perfectly fine. Xenia is miles ahead of where they were just a year ago and many games are legitimately playable now.
Condemned: Criminal Origins is on steam
You're taking your time with the move, huh?
Took me 2 months to finish renovations, pack up from the city and into the woods.
Awesome to see.
But should have also tested Lost Odyssey, that game is stuck on consoles and would love to know how Xenia runs that now. Apparently the game itself has a long ass loadtime issue, so if those kinda things get better with emulation, would be fire.
I've completed Lost Odyssey on xenia. It's been running great for a while on Canary
Xenia really is an impressive emulator. I bought an extremely overpowered PC and it's able to handle it pretty well, I was even playing Rock Band 1 on it and it barely even had a stutter. I got through most of the solo tour mode. With these kinds of performance improvements I can't wait until I'm playing 360 games on my phone.
Wow, that is an amazing update! On my crappy pc I now have almost 30 fps in RDR instead of 14. Finally able to play.
First 01:49 is a MASSIVE advert
FWIW it looks like Condemned is on Steam for $14.95 and has a platinum rating on ProtonDB with a few Steam Deck verified reports already 👀
I’d love to see a way to get Xenia on a Series X | S to complete the back compat catalogue for those games that got left behind after the team called it quits on the project.
Looks like there's some issues with the safe area in some games. Is this configurable in the emulator or is it left up to the game to have safe zone configuration?
Amazing. Did you install Win10 first on steam deck or is Xenia Canary running via proton? Tried on proton but it’s not that good at all. So assuming to go with Win10
Condemned was a severely underrated game that’s one remake I wish for 🤞🏾
Condemned 1 has a pc port on Steam, I am not sure how it compares to the xbox 360 release but on Steam it has a "Very Positive" rating for those interested.
Hi there - did you apply any tweaks or patches to make fable 2 run that well? I noticed a few other videos where they were running canary but performance looked a lot worse
If my brain is not tricking me, the musical theme in the latter part of the video is Double Dragon 2, Amiga version.
Nice video! I tried lost odyssey and got these weird graphical artefacts. Have you tried it?
To get MGS2 and 3 to work in Xenia you need to extract its xex-file from the iso using a program called isoextract. That way you can start the individual xex-file for the game you want to play. It might sound like a hassle but it's really easy to do, isoextract does the work for you as long as you have an iso-file.
i have spent 2 hour trying to figure this out ,thank for the tip man
Did you test any of the games with the steam deck controller?? what's the emulation like input lag wise, rumble, etc
Xenia won't let me play skate 3, it launches the game correctly but i can't get past the intro and get to actual gameplay, instead it just open an error window that says :
Faulting thread name
I am using a Lenovo Legion Go Handheld device with Windows 11 and Emudeck/emulationstation.
Very impressive what that portable machine does.
I can imagine every Xbox 360-era Forza title on it with all title updates and DLC.
could it be possible that the slight lags are due to windows loading from sd in background?
What did they do to get the performance boost?
There are literally hundreds of changes and most of them are quite low level stuff - things like preventing cache misses, preventing unnecessary garbage collection, etc, etc. There isn't really any "one change" that boosted performance it really is a massive collection of changes that all contribute slightly.
@@Zuriki09 thank you for the reply. i thought they did one big breakthrough for this big 30-90 percent boost in performance
For MGS2 and MGS3HD, you need to directly boot up each game's exec, instead of booting the default launcher.
Strange. I recently tried to play Perfect Dark Zero and it crashed for me soon after the beginning of the level.
Thank you so much for the showcase MVG! Super excited for my Steam Deck that's coming in a few days. I was hoping to see how gears of war (gears 2, in particular) performs. Maybe you can include that in a future video
I don't get it, I played Red Dead on my PC using Xenia and I was barely getting 15 FPS on my 3060TI. What am I doing wrong here?
Super cool, makes me want to get a Steam Deck
Good luck with that
It's cool to see the Xenia emulation running so well.
However installing Windows on my Deck is a big no for me
Same. Really wish Xenia would be Linux native, or at least be proton compatible.
@@FortuneHunters xenia is on Linux
@@mauryj.3415 It's Vulkan only though and doesn't work even remotely well compared to the Windows canary branch.
Xenia is optimized to use DirectX12, so it works fine on Windows, Vulkan is out of date though it's getting better
double dragon 2 title screen music on the amiga! neat choice!
Condemned is backwards compatible on the Xbox platform so its not gonna get "lost" any time soon ( Also it runs perfectly, at full 60)
So, you are telling me that I can finally play GTA:Cowboy 1? 😮
amazing that hardware has progressed so far, not to mention the emulator software as well. 30fps in RDR1 on a handheld is crazy
Its nice to see the good old xbox360 games running so well on the new steam deck
Come on Microsoft, release an Xbox 360 emulator for Windows 10 already. We know you already have it done in house.
I had perfect dark zero at launch loved it and multiplayer is so much fun!
I don't know how you got rdr running so smoothly without the bottom of the game cut off on the steam deck. I've got xenia setup on my 1tb oled and it's 15-20 fps and about half a inch of the bottom cut off the screen
Forza Horizon 4 is also available on Steam, unfortunately still full price at $60 but I’d guess it goes on sale sometimes
That is something else, didn't expect something like this running this well so soon. Yeah that's the thing vis-a-vis Condemned, every game does not get remastered necessarily, or remastered very well in some cases.
Good video. But you know there is a native Windows port of Condemned?
Wow I missed this video, thank you for testing it out. Great games.
It seems, that not only performance, but also compatibility has changed.
For example, Sonic Unleashed always crashed in the same place in the first level on Xenia-master, but on canary it seems to work well.
Have to agree about Condemned, it was a phenomenal experience, and a (good) remake would be a must play for me. Playing through to get the achievement for only using melee weapons, made it a brutal and visceral experience. One of my top gaming memories for sure.
01:50 the new version looks also much sharper O.o
Looks like Condemned: Criminal Origins is on sale on humble bundle
The 360 was the biggest console generation for me. I have a lot of those games for PC now, but being able to play those few that remained Xbox exclusive on my Deck would be amazing. Might have to move my ROMs to a 1TB card though.
