How to Play Battlefield 64 on Your Xbox 360

This doesn't look awful.

wow, that's.....very noticeable.

Yeah, because TheJx4 totally didn't notify you of this at all.

Stop beat yourself up about. You'll get it next time. ;-)

Kotaku credited me. :P

Of course not. I only hang out on #Speakup over there.

I tip both sites, but I try to give you guys the heads-up first.

By putting it in your xbox.

I'm actually surprised that without the HD textures, the tires look like muddy octagons. Do textures really add extra polygons to the look or was it just a very clever technique that's been fooling me all this time?

Sometimes texture packs are code for "graphics stuff packs" but yes, there are texturing techniques that can make sharp things look smooth, like clever use of bump mapping / normal mapping.

All the stairs is Mass Effect 1 are actually flat planes, for example, and as soon as I noticed that it almost ruined the whole game.

Does it come with a Fun pack too?

wow, this is pretty dumb.

Hello outdated hardware... PC folks, you want eye-candy you go PC or go home. Or did anyone else notice how BIG the RAGE install was so you could get something looking nice on a 360 mmm?

*plays Wind Waker*

this looks way better than the PC version.

So your comparing a console based game from how many years ago? that was badly ported over to the PC and wait does Nintendo even port there games over or are you using a virtual console?

Either way lets assume that you compare any game designed for the console that's ported to the PC. They never work well half the time and or look worse because the developer and publishes don't care half the time.

So heaven forbid a game designed for the latest and best computer tech out there with FULL DX11 support doesn't work so well on your outdated home little console system. that's still back in windows XP era of DX 9. Console makers need to get with the times and instead of making a new console every 6 to 8 freeken years they need to make a system that has swappable bays for hardware upgrades. Seriously... if anyone expects battlefield 3 to look good on a console over the PC wake up and go hit yourself cause it's not happening people.

You seem to be taking this way too seriously.
