Hey all,
I’ve been feeling nostalgic for the Xbox 360 era and wanted to see if anyone here would be keen to try recreating that old-school multiplayer experience on PC.
I’ve been messing around with the Xenia (Xbox 360) emulator and looking into Netplay (using something like Hamachi) to simulate LAN multiplayer. The goal is to get a group together and bring back some of the classics No live service, no battle passes, no microtransactions, just straight-up multiplayer like it used to be.
I am talking:
- Gears of War
- Halo 3
- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
- Army of Two
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Everything / anything else people miss
Fair warning, this is a bit experimental. It’s not as simple as installing and playing. There will be some setup, troubleshooting, and figuring out which games/configs actually work well. But if we can get it going, being NZ-based should mean we can get really solid, low-ping connections compared to the old days. (Anyone remember with GOW back in the day we had to search specifically 9 rounds, 9 something else... just to find other Kiwi players?)
Mainly just looking for people who:
- Miss that era of gaming
- Are keen to tinker a bit to get things working
- Want to play some proper multiplayer/coop again if we can pull it off
If that sounds like your thing, drop a comment or send me a message. Even getting a couple of these games running smoothly would be a win.
