Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Xbox One "Original Xbox" backwards compatibility live now
- Thread starter gossi
- Start date
Oh, yeah, I never thought of the two-pack. I wonder how they'll handle it. It'd be awesome if they released that version digitally and supported the disc, as well.

I still have Jade Empire sealed so I agree and I'm down! I had so many games at the time (and still do) I was unable to start it. I think it uses the same engine; albeit modified of KOTOR so hopefully its not a pipe dream. I would also love if The Warriors was BC as well. I love that game.

Black is a bargain at 10 bucks especially if you haven't played it before and liked Vanilla.
Saying that, I bet they add vanilla in the next wave.

this makes me wanna buy a cheap xbone S to play NGB again. one of the top 5 videogames of all time.
I would think both Jade Empire and The Warriors will come. EA even gave Jade Empire for free on Origin not too long ago. The Warriors is currently on sale compatible with PS4 as a PS2 classic. Seems like rights situations for both games are in great shape.

Some comparisons:
NGB Xbox One S vs Ninja Gaiden Sigma PS3:
PS3 version is an actual remaster with extra foliage, lighting etc... Xbox version is rather plain in comparison as it is just the original looking very nice uprezed. Gameplay differences between them are well documented. Still, very nice to have the Xbox version playable hi-rez.
POP: SOT Xbox One S vs POP Trilogy SOT PS3:
PS3 version is cropped for 16:9 screens compared to original 4:3 on Xbox. Cutsceens are fullscreen 16:9 on PS3, but widescreen postage-stamped on Xbox. Xbox has a foggier and bloomier appearance vs PS3 version.
Really just re-emulating these games at a higher resolution does put them in contention with their re-masters. That alone is amazing.
*Edit*
KOTOR is like 50-60fps and nicely detailed.

The lack of online play for games like Crimson Skies really kills this for me. The reason I loved Crimson Skies so much was because I played online forever. The single player I blew threw in a few days and never looked back.
I was super hyped when they announced Crimson Skies at E3. Not having online play completely kills that buzz. It's fine for KOTOR, NG Black and the like, but no online multi for Crimson kind of defeats the purpose.

This is so awesome. Nothing I really want right now though. Hopefully we get more stuff soon. I might try NGB.

Just watched part of the VG Tech video on KOTOR and the Xbox One version is regularly running between 2-3x the framerate of the Xbox original. That's incredible emulation.
There's no 30fps cap in KOTOR so performance is still variable (bit more like 40-60fps than 15-40fps in the original) but it should mean any game with a 30fps cap will be fully locked at that framerate.

Awwwwww yeah. Would kill for some Burnout. Looking back, there were some damn good OG Xbox games and I hope they all come back and lead to a resurgence of those titles.

I just saw this posted on reddit. It seems users have found a way to play the game online.

My God I lost an entire night to Pirates! I forgot how simple yet fun that game is.
I loved it on PC but it's super easy to pick up and play on a controller.

Awesome! Just hope the community holds up for a few weeks. That would be my main concern. Not like the average consumer will know about this.
Be awesome if Microsoft could build an Xlink style solution right into the emulator. Imagine if everyone in your Xbox One party was automatically bridged for OG Xbox system link so you could seamlessly play with those people online. No matchmaking obviously but we do have Looking for Group now.
Sega GT/JSRF was the only dual game Xbox OG that worked on the 360 iirc.
I turned my Xbone on last night, and it must have updated to the new OS... everything is in different spots. I shut it off and played some SNES Classic instead. Hah hah hah. Just wasn't in the frame of mind to have my cheese moved last night.
While I think it was already supported, I want to play some EDF 2017. I have no idea why I have such a soft spot for that game.

Because it's awesome, though it isn't BC yet. Only Insect Armageddon so far.

Ooooh nice.
Hope that BLUR and Split/Second will get the enhanced treatment.

Not to put a downer on things because it's amazing it's actually happening, but looks like we have to wait till Spring till the next batch
Yeah, I noticed that earlier too. I guess they really meant it when they said it'll be a lot less games than 360 BC.

Hoping they stick with titles that cant be played anywhere else primarily. That should be the priority IMO if the batches will be smaller. So stuff like JSRF and Panzer Dragoon Orta for example. We should Be saving the games that have basically been lost to any but actual OG Xbox collectors
Probably due to DX12 that opens up a lot of door. Also recompiling the codes for xb1 cpu like 360 games on BC. Thats why games still require full download when you pop in the disc.

I've got four games installed. Works really well. They're also rendering in enhanced res, not upscaled.

Sigma is imbalanced, casual crap. Nothing compared to the version by Itagaki. The same goes to Sigma 2.
