Egads, this is amazing! The Nintendo 64 recompilation projects have done wonders for its catalog, so it'll be cool to see X360 representation in that scene. My fingers are crossed for Lost Odyssey...
I'm so interested, but I've been burned by tiny text too many times - this didn't used to be a problem in handheld games, and shouldn't be a problem now! I'll be holding off on a purchase for now, but will buy it immediately if the text size issue gets resolved.
@845H On the plus side, the high-res polygon/low-res backgrounds should only be an issue for Dino Crisis 2 - the series debut was noteworthy for having fully-3D environments, unlike contemporary Resident Evil titles. The downside was that environments were less detailed, so they switched to pre-rendered for Dino Crisis 2.
Thanks for publicizing this - I just bought a copy through your link! I have an ebook version of the first Untold History of Japanese Developers Volume but a physical edition of the condensed version is a must-have item. This will be a key piece of history in the coming decades as so much other information about the medium's early history is lost.
