thank you for this

it's a shame that they were shot by camera instead of scanner

@@megapro1725 don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Why the hell did he call them "screenshots"?

Does the donator have permission to distribute this? Hard for me to see how this isn’t piracy

Thank you for this! Yeah its quite a fun game. i've been told stories that Microsoft was really pushing to move everyone to the 360 after a certain date. I think in many cases it wasnt that trivial to do given a new architecture even if the overarching APIs were similar. but thats just speculation of course.

Because the original Xbox didn't sell very well.

Thank you for sharing this little part of history with us. It is greatly appreciated!

@@ModernVintageGamer Microsoft should have force developers to support background comparability and should make a cross gen DVD box like we had nowadays …

@@ModernVintageGamer is it worth playing the unreleased Xbox version over the PS2 one?

I think you have a valid point for the released games. But how many unreleased books exist today? I don't think your argument holds the same weight for unreleased works. It is different for me at least and I'm curious what your thoughts are for that distinction.

@@jasonsachinger3276 I don't see that their release state is relevant. They're works of art deserving of preservation.

@@fmsyntheses Someone in the comments seemed to be making an argument that knowledge is a human right and that derivatives of that knowledge should be made available for all as well. Is that what you are saying as well or is there more nuance than that? Are museums that profit from restricting our use of historical objects causing harm or a public good since you can "see" objects but cannot "interact" with most of them? At some level isn't everything an art? What say do I as the artist have over my art? Does that Banksy art that self destructed violate my rights to preservation or does the social statement the art was making carry more weight than the physical object? Who gets to decide?

@@jasonsachinger3276 I'm not into declaring things to be rights. I don't really believe in the idea of rights in general. At least I think it's not a useful perspective from which to discuss the problems that the granting of rights are usually intended to address. And the idea that everything is art at some level is infantile and doesn't deserve discussion. As is the idea that Banksy has ever contributed anything of value to culture. Ehat the artist should be allowed isn't a simple question. To my mind, if you can find a way to make your art available and benefit personally from it at the same time, that's excellent. But then we come to hypothetical scenarios like Da Vinci coming back to life and saying that no one can ever look at the Mona Lisa again. It's become a valuable cultural object, and if you just want to keep people from appreciating it, I don't see that as acceptable.

Crocmaster's back!

Quality game, shame it got overshadowed by inFamous. I'd rather be Carnage instead of Electro.

jaja algorithm fail.

Capital P probably the reason!

@@SullySadface not Electro, it's Static Shock! Remember that show? LOL

most or all games?

Why not both? "almost"

@@happygames9757 "most all" is an informal, usually regional way to say "almost all" e.g. _"I've read most all your books"_

@@unbearifiedbear1885 ok, I'm not native english btw

@@happygames9757 it’s all good bro, u learn something new everyday

💯 Streets of Rage 4/ Bare Knuckle

Imagine all the Indie games inspired by these.

I’m not going anywhere

@@ModernVintageGamer thats good! need more gamecube content :D

He's goin' nowheeeere! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6qDma2Su6mUe40.html

Who?

Haha, rightfully so. Sod him.

@@Kain652 i dont know its name, the article mentioned that the seller was given a condition to not rip or reproduce the contents of the disc and the purchaser will give him the money he was asking for, apparently the seller agreed because he was one of those guys that didnt want anything to do with video games, the seller as the purchaser and the game were never revealed.

@@jymfiskburk2256 Only reason cuz the asshole just wanted money

Hey! Another Australian

Yeah meet the man that made surreal. The emulator that gave so many options that I ended up configuring the emulator more than I played it!!! That was my problem on pc!! Lol. First world problems....

He is a good man 👍

We largely agree, but calling him one of the most "wholesome" KZfaqrs is a bit of a stretch. Even stuff like Hats Off Entertainment arguably counts as more "wholesome". If you think this channel is in the runnings for "most wholesome" then the algorithm must be recommending some pretty bad channels to you.

"Wholesome"?? lmao 😂😂

If you want "wholesome", watch The Car Wizard's 3800 Series 2 video. He just seems like the friendliest nicest guy ever, at least on camera. There are plenty of other "wholesome" KZfaq channels. I'm not trying to take away from anyone here, I'm just pointing out that part of KZfaq is more wholesome than you think. We live in an age where people get mad when people explain to them that things are better than they thought, so whatever.

It's a good channel, but my respect took a nosedive when he pushed Raid: Shadow Legends - of all the things he could have accepted a sponsorship by. I've slowly regained some of the lost respect because of the quality of the stuff he's done since that unfortunate day, but I'm never letting him live it down.

Wait what? Which one? :o

you work on games ?

Spill the beans. Do an interview with MVG.

can someone test on emulator and tell if it works :D

Dino Hunting works perfectly on my Xbox

Dinosaur hunting the lost continent I'm like 99% sure is an early build of monster hunter for the PS2 so play at your own risk. Face buttons do nothing you fight with both sticks

He-Man got released on PS2.

@@warmpancaxe nope, predates monster hunter and came out in japan

always wanted to ask, how do you people come across unreleased prototypes of those games? I knew most people from Assemblergames forums had some protos and devkits back then.

@@MrDmoney156 In my case my grandfather was the guy that was sent to close the development studio down and take inventory of their equipment, since everyone was embezzling money instead of working on the game. I guess no one cared about the devcart, so he kept it. He's had it ever since, pretty sure it's the only one in existence for that game.

@@EthanCGamer Thank god ur granddad got the prototype cartridge over the dough, straight 4D chess'd everyone that worked there!

Disc rot. The discs start to deteriorate.

@@marble-q6j Basically the slow deterioration that affects discs over time for various reasons. If a disc rots enough it'll eventually become unreadable. CDs are the most prone to it, especially burnable CDs which are usually lower quality. The way DVDs/Blu-Rays make it far more resistant to the effect.

​@@marble-q6j CD-Rs have an organic dye layer that stores the data. When you burn a CD-R, the laser heats up the dye and turns it opaque in certain spots, creating a pattern of opaque and transparent bits that encode the data. Unfortunately, this organic dye can degrade over time and render the CD unreadable. Commercial CDs don't have this problem, because they have no dye layer. Instead, the data is pressed into the CD during the injection molding process, forming a series of pits and bumps in the plastic layer of the disc.

@@Aser6000 this is what I like to hear the thought of my disc collection rotting away is terrifying man

Or Banjo Kazooie 3

No, they wanna drip out remasters and charge full price for them.

👏🏽

349 and parts of other games that together won't count as a whole game (assets, docs, models, ideas, mails, etc?)

He was trying to be funny.

@@playerroku4412 come on, he actually was

Was Stubbs The Zombie the only third party game to use the engine?

@@theunbearablejuan I remember it being on the halo engine being a selling point on the box

Shouldn't that be "Blam!" with the exclamation mark?

Dead Rush by Treyarch

lol no dude. If that was the case the prototype would be published by Capcom. They are two completely different games.

Maybe an extremely early version of Ark Survival Evolved? Or could be competition for Turok?

its outcast meets shadow of colossus map. for a 2003 game map very big.

So monster hunter jurassic park edition?

@@Slicer224 I was talking about "Dinosaur Hunting" being a more appropriate name for "Monster Hunter" than "Monster Hunter", because all Monsters there are practically Dinos.

You're thinking of the game Malice. It definitely came out!

@@swarmland Oh, you're right! Apparently it was delayed by multiple years, so I guess that's what I was remembering. Thanks.^^

I remember it being a launch window game for Xbox 360 (around January/February 2006, it was then cancelled very soon before release).

@@moonfrostgaming4459 Yeah you’re right! For some reason I thought it was for the OG Xbox when in reality, it was going to be released for the 360. Guess I watched too much of the movie since it shown being played on the OG Xbox 😂😅

@@CallMeSugarMilk I mean, I don't actually know if the game wasn't in development on the OG at first and then transferred to the 360 before being cancelled, so that could be.

Not sure who that is but if they didn't go nuts back when the CDi stuff leaked why would they now. Video makes it clear the CDi stuff was a previous dump

@@Dingleberries LOL this guy doesn't know how to use the 3 shells! 😆

What console do you want to see it ported to? I played the DC JGR a bit and it always makes me happy when the DC get some love with new games or ports.

I also wish this would happen. If we have a debuggable version it could be reverse engineered

Get over it kid.

@@350125GOW There is nothing to get over.

He explain his reason because I think he cut his teeth programming and making home-brews for the OG Xbox. In fact the OG Xbox was pivotal for the creation of home-brew gaming on consoles as well was the home for XBMC, now known as KODI. OG Xbox was an incredible console for the modding community.

Same here. I played this on OG Xbox and it is very good game with a great story with cool gameplay. I wish the PC version was better as the controls are messed up. I was disappointed to hear they sequels were canceled considering it was underrated in my opinion. The later levels blew my mind back in the day.

@@robertlawrence9000 The pc version has missing cutscenes. There are mods that readd them. Its one of my favorite games and the pc version just makes me want more.

@@JasperPerri oh I never tried modding the PC version. I do own a copy of the Xbox version. Maybe I'll check out the PC mods for it then

I think Advent rising I'd my favorite OG Xbox game.

@@Mystical_Zeus Yeah it's up there for me too. Too bad people didn't give it a chance. It has a great story. If there was a remake today for new gen hardware I would buy it in a heartbeat

Hey Beluga jr.

A lot of them now, up to 10x the original resolution.

By today's standards those 99% done games are essentially complete.

@@AdmiralBison XD by today standards 80% is for sale then 10% more for patches. Good joke,

It’s because half a budget gets spent on marketing. If they think the game will flop then they can cut their losses early by not marketing at all, which means no point in producing and distributing it

@@alessandrorossi1294 Im not sure that is true for older and smaller games. Back in the day a lot of games had vary little marketing. But you may be correct, there is a lot of risk back in the day of pressing discs. Im relay not sure when Holywood style PR pushes relay started, something like the cyberpunk PR push never happened back then for smaller games. First party games had some push (like halo).
