The Xbox 360 is long considered the “first person shooter” console, granted it does offer great controls and a plethora of FPS games out on the market, but to say the Xbox 360 has but a single genre of games worth playing would be a huge mistake. You’d be missing out on some of the best games this generation. Lately I’ve been in an RPG mood in anticipation of The Witcher 2 coming to the Xbox 360 later this year, so I thought I would comprise a list of the top five RPG’s on the Xbox 360 console. These are in no particular order and are my own personal opinion mind you.
Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.
No official update on anything?
They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite
The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.
Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.
And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.
Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.
They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.
Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh
Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo
I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline
Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks
Top 5 game for me with a bit of bias.
Me and brother use to play this game everyday split screen.
Probably get it for the PS5 since that’s all he has.
Gonna be weird but fuck it.
AnerdzLife ranks the main line Resident Evil games
While Treyarch has seemingly already killed off the current Call of Duty Zombies crew, there may be more to their fate than meets the eye.
Lost Odyssey was such a good game. That was my FF13. It had towns and Nobuo Uematsu (I think thats the correct spelling)... Great story with a good twist. Awesome game.
I was shocked as hell at how much I was enjoying Lost Odyssey. I hadn't played a turn-based RPG on consoles since Legend of the Dragoon before it came along, only to find out that some devs from that game helped make LO.
It got me interested in turn-based RPGs again, which is why I was interested in FFXIII (which, after currently replaying it isn't as bad as I remembered).
LO was so underrated.
LO, amazing. ME, fantastic. Fable 2, great. The other 2... sort of failed though.
360 needs RPGS, The Witcher 2 will be a good addition. Though I wonder what the frame rate will be >_<
Lost Odyssey is the #1 JRPG on the 360 and Demon Souls is the #1 JRPG on the PS3. However most of the good JRPG were on the handhelds this generation while WRPG dominated the consoles.
It seems like Tales of Vesperia never gets the respect it deserves. It was head and shoulders above Lost Odyssey.
