My teen coworkers told me that he found an old Xbox 360 in his basement and has had a lot of fun playing "retro" games like Tony Hawk Underground and Burnout 3. (hexbear.net)

I didn't know the 360 was backward compatible

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

I thought it was, but the backwards compatibility sucked and only worked for certain games or something like that

I remember trying to play Amped snowboarding 1 on a 360 and it was almost unplayable how poorly it ran. Loved that game on OG Xbox

THUG and Burnout 3 were games made for the original Xbox/PS2 in 2003-2004. The usual rule for whether a game is retro is that the game must be at least 15 years old.

so the PS4 will be retro in 4 years? yells-at-cloud

I would say a console becomes fully retro 15 years after becoming end of life. The PS4 and Xbox One were released in 2013. I would say that PS3/Xbox360 will be fully considered retro in 2028. PS4 will be retro in 2035, which is 15 years after the release of PS5.

Never played the original THUG but THUG 2 was probably my most played game in middle school.
