Adam Isgreen, a creative director at Microsoft Studios responsible for publishing Phantom Dust, revealed some interesting details about the game’s visuals on NeoGAF today. history of the project.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "Microsoft’s first console holds a very special in the hearts of many gamers. The ‘beast’ as it was called in some circles absolutely trounced its competitors when it came to raw power allowing near-PC level games to be playable on your TV for the first time ever. But beyond processing power the system is also to thank for pushing the standardization of online gameplay, something which today is a must have, no matter how you decide to play games. So in honor of Microsoft’s big, green tank and to maybe remind Microsoft of which games need to end up on the Xbox One store (wink, wink) we’re counting down the Top 20 Best Xbox Games."
Gamesradar: "Sometimes there’s nothing better than revisiting an Xbox old game you love. Sure, they rarely quite live up to modern standards, but they can be like a comforting digital hug thanks to the familiar surroundings and sense of nostalgia. Other times it’s just nice to treat yourself to a bit of a history lesson for a classic that you’ve missed.
After all, there are so many that deserve a second chance, perhaps all gussied up with an HD touch-up and some extra little treats. So with that in mind I recently decided to pick up Phantom Dust, since a fair few people had raved about the original and how ‘unique’ it is. I figured I’d discover something new by playing it and maybe learn a thing or two about games from that era. But all I did was leave disappointed."
The game was never more than a cult classic, gained some name recognition because of that, MS wanted to play up on that hoping for a "new" online IP while failing to invest into it creatively. That's why the remake died in development and why the remaster died soon after re-release: The original game was never "All That".
A lot of people played the OG Xbox version when it was free. Sure the games is wired and outdated, but a reboot could be a great game.
The article says what about remastering the original Fable! It was already! They should know this if they are SUPPOSED to be professional writers.
Keep your wallets and accounts happy with these top choices for free gaming on Microsoft's box.
It would be sad.
It would of been sad
So waitaminute...i'm confused because earlier I mentioned that 480p was a rumor and i was told by the many in depth analysts that can be trusted with all things Xbox here on n4g that 480p was true.

So was the article at ICXM true? Because i kept being told ICXM was not to be trusted according to the replies from the many, MANY Xbox fans in that article.
So is PD in 480p or not?! I swear MS sends out too many mixed signals and 180s and is such a shady company and cant be trusted.
Smdh!
I myself got downvoted for pointing out the obvious, that 480p won't cut it and m$ knows it, but people still were bashing on the game because of a lame rumor over this 480p nonsense
