GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Excited to see how Fallout 3 will look on Xbox One X.
I hope we get comparison videos real soon.

The cutscene at the end of chapter 4 in Ninja Gaiden Black was fucked up. Has a still image over the top of the video.
It's the only negative so far, game runs smooth as hell and the graphics still look nice (for a game from 2005)

I only played a few minutes of ngb but man does it look good. Can't wait to see if it looks any better on the onex.

Same for me for psychonaut (fr store )
Cheers mate got it! Yeah I can't find NGB either. Never played Black so I am stoked to get it.
Just played ninja gaiden black, what absolute delight it is to play this again, the game looks absolutely stunning! I'm hoping to actually finish it this time, as long as my saves don't corrupt like they did on the OG xbox console haha. Nice to play it compared to using the OG xbox controllers.
I booted this up, the game looks sharp but man does the gameplay feel so slow now (probably didn't help that I played ninja gaiden first)
still planning on playing it, I was in awe seeing that speedrunner online this year whoplaying it during 'games done quick' stream...

We may now have a worse situation than the Games & App section not ignoring The to sort.
So Im happy to have access to an Xbox Originals title I purchased back when full digital games were a novelty in the console space. However, having Psychonauts sorted under F as Full Game - Psychnauts is a beyond annoying. Small price to pay versus the alternative of not having it available.

Wish they would get the rights for TMNT and The Simpsons game again!
I bought knights from the online store but it still isn't showing up under ready for install for me. Meanwhile black has already shown up. Also I checked the store and some of the games have already showed up under the backwards compatibility tab yet games such as knight and ninja gaiden still aren't there! What gives? :/

NGB plays so nicely still. I will say I feel spoiled by modern games though because Ryu doesn't stop on a dime and the right stick doesn't really control the camera. I kept trying to rotate and went into first person mode all the time.

Now I have to find my KotoR and Ninja Gaiden Black discs. Is there a link to buy these digitally?

NGB is still legit despite the pre-dual stick-like camera.

click in the thumbstick.

Yeah, I remembered a bit in that doing that centered the camera on where you're facing. Thing is, if there's anything about the game I would change for modernization it's that. Cameras back then were so, so bad ad this just makes it more obvious.

KOF NEOWAVE runs very well, but looks hella weird
The game has a graphic menu with options to enable or disable a soft filter to the sprites, but it does nothing on the Xbox One
Now, there is something interesting happening on this game also...
When launching the game on Xbox One and let it run the demo fights, those look like this
But as soon as any button is pressed and the game enters the main menu will look like this
seems to be an issue with the game itself and the emulators used, as same issue appears running from Xbox 360, which btw running this game in Xbox 360 has some other issues with the in-game graphics option by itself, but just to compare here is game running before entering any screen menu
and after

no, I mean clicking in the right thumbstick will give you full control of the camera in third person viewpoint (it is inverted only though). Its the right trigger that centers the camera.

Hey, you could probably setup a controller config in the Xbox controller app to fix that.
Vgtech put up a video comparing KOTOR on og Xbox, 360 and Xbox One. I never knew game ran unlocked and Xbox One is by far the best version but still has moments going under 30 but this is when the other two are way below 20.
Good start I'd say. Perhaps they will improve the emulator like they did with 360 to get even better performance.

doesn't that require an Elite controller though?
Regardless, centering the camera with the right trigger is infinitely faster than moving it with the stick, so I say learning to adapt is more beneficial in the long run.

So happy to hear this! Which of the xbox releases is worth the $10?

Got early at home yesterday and turned my One on Just to see how much these games would cost at the Brazilian Xbox Live and... There wasn't any of the Xbox Original title available to buy. Dafuq, Microsoft? Why?

Found this part interesting
That's forward thinking for ya.

Characters look awful. Emulators of "3D" consoles often do a pretty shit job with these kind of games, sadly.

No, the accessories app will work with all controllers. So you can remap however you see fit.
Nice.
Ninja Gaiden Black, or Fuzion Frenzy if you do a lot of local multiplayer.

Played Black and Crimson Skies from disc, and then bought KOTOR digitally just to support the program. I didn't run into a single glitch during my play last night. The games run well and look pretty good for their age. I never actually played through Black or KOTOR back in the day so they're new to me. Very happy with BC. Can't wait to play Enhanced Oblivion when I get the X. Given that it's one of the first enhanced games along with Fallout 3 makes me think there's a good chance we'll get Morrowind at some point.
If this was before JSR HD came out I'd agree with you, but that came out and we only lost... 2 songs?
Dr. Zoidberg

That was a remaster, not emulation. It was reprogrammed for modern platforms and sold new for a profit so a lot more work went into it than a BC release including investigating licensing and removing the ones they couldn't get. Sega is very unlikely to go in and make such changes to an old Xbox game just so it can be added to BC. A JSRF remaster is more likely than a BC release for this reason, though still not very likely since I don't think JSR HD sold as well as they hoped, at least that's what I've heard.

That was a great gamble. Reminds me of how Epic pushed MS to up the RAM in 360 which paid off.

Well that'll shut up those that said BC is only there because MS are losing.

Just need Chaos Theory adding then get Xlink on the go for some classic SVM action! Been confirmed by a user on Xbox One Subreddit that it's compatible!
Phil already said they tried to get BC for XB1 launch but the team couldn't do it and thought it was impossible so it was put on pause, then when he took over he restarted it and they managed to get it done.
Problem is, those 2 songs would have prevented the entire game being BC.

I felt the same about Crimson Skies. We've come a long way with controls.

I wouldn't think it would be so bad. I believe MS still owns the digital rights to battletech games, they definitely still hold Mechassault. PGI got the rights for Mechwarrior games for a limited period of time but I believe microsoft still owns them. Fasa studios was an MS studio that doesn't exist anymore and both are MS published games. I don't think the first game had any licensed music but they would probably need to cut those Korn and Papa Roach songs from Mechassault 2. Mechassault 1 never got backwards compatibility on the 360 however, and I do wonder why.
