I did play the DLC for Dishonored which wasn’t a smart idea.

The first DLC has probably my favourite lvl in the franchise.

@peter42O

Never played any of the BioShock games. Not for me.

This gives me an idea.

This is a HUGE “what if”:

• SEGA dreamcast was based on Windows CE. What if instead of regular BC titles, the BC team creates hypervisors for the SEGA consoles that are no longer in use, and brings back older titles. This should be possible, and will require an OS update to install an additional hypervisor in addition to the 360 hypervisor.

This is an epiphany looking for a development team.

that would honestly be very cool but I highly doubt SEGA wants to pursue or allow that.

Stranger things have happened.

Anyway, this post will be there for posterity. I can tell people “I told you so” if something like this happens.

Also, I might fall off my chair and do a ‘spit-take’ if this happens.

So it’s prediction preservation > Game preservation now? haha cool.

@Ruthwik_Rao

talk about prediction preservation.

Sicamicaniko’s skills with forum upgrading notwithstanding.

The story he told about updating the forum was scary.

faaaak I was like “are you telling me you almost nuked all of us from Xboxera orbit?” I can imagine just how much anxiety @Sikamikanico had for those 15 minutes.

We come in peace - dear Sikamikanico.

But seriously, you need a good go-to DevOps/sysadmin guy for these things.

You should have done it on Saint Patrick’s Day, right in the middle of festivities, for extra tension.

If your console is dead you have no way to download your games again. And what about replaying a game ?

It’s still not a good situation even it’s understandable.

It seams illegal to me. If I bought a digital ps3 game. I should be able to delete and download it whenever I want. If a game i own is unavailable for download then I should be able to get my full money back.

ES6 leaks anyone?

Unfortunately when you purchase a digital game, you’re agreeing to the opposite. If you comb through the legal garbage, you’ll discover that we have very little rights as consumers. Even physical discs are bound by a mythical license that we have no actionable control over.

Monday went by without Xbox news.

Xbox is doomed.

I believe Dreamcast was a bit of a dual situation and very few games actually used windows ce.

@pg2g

Agree there.

But the point goes beyond Windows CE. Anything and any of the past consoles can have a hypervisor if the Engg team is good. And this Xbox/Windows Engg team is very very good. (They have Linux running on Windows without the need of an emulator is also staggering, btw.) Also, the fact that there are so many emulators in the market supports my point.

The idea, then is:

• instead of having unsupported emulators, make an official one and release games that work with Xbox Network (saves, achievements, etc.)
• So, the next immediate question is: What past hardware console – that has been legendary – does not have official support for playing their past games. SEGA, Neogeo, Atari, etc. come to mind. The one closest to Xbox in this scenario is still SEGA.

This might be an incredible feat, if this is done well.

Yes, this illusion people have that they own the game if they buy a physical copy is…interesting.
