Microsoft E3 2017: Xbox One Backwards Compatibility For OG Xbox Games Won't Be As Extensive

007 Nightfire. The best of the three or four 007 games released in that generation in my opinion.

I want the OG Star Wars Battlefront 2 to be BC. Honestly, I'm not surprised that the amount of BC is going to be smaller, and I'm okay with that because licensing is pretty hard. We should be thankful that MS decided to undertake this at all!

At this point the XBX should be powerful enough to run a homegrown emulator (or some kind of emulation wrapper) for OG XB, there's literally no reason it shouldn't be able too.

What this also says to me is that MS isn't going to allow disc based BC with OG XB, it's going to be digital only.

I can understand the rights thing, but there's only 700-ish games worldwide for it released during it's lifetime, no reason it shouldn't be able to play them on the format they were released on.

Let's not forget Madden 2005. Another title left out from the Xbox 360's backward compatibility with the original Xbox which was arguably, for its time, better than every Madden released afterward on the X360 and now Xbox One.

Hey, if I can get Dreamfall to play, i'll be happy. I have the disk, but if I have to buy it again, then so be it.

Morrowind, Thief, Kotor 1 and 2 and other SW games if possible, Dreamfall, Brute Force among others. Want an Xbox website for voting on these too.

really Phil, you want us to spend that much on a console that cost to fucking much to begin with and you say it's going to have X Box the original system games backwards C. for it and than you say yeah it will have it but it will only be for only so many games because instead of saying we are currently working on getting the rights to this or that game we will only say it will have a small libary.

i asked somewhere else and they said that discs will work on it. but is that all X box OG ? or just certain ones? like when the 360 did have it but only for like 130-150 games i think it was? they should work on getting the rights to their games than than put it on. i dunno how much money and time that will be.if some of the games were also put on the 360 than there's some games you don't have to worry about. but for others there's plenty the fans i'm sure want

Xbox is a damn joke. I would have loved to have seen almost full backwards compatibility for Xbox. So many games I've never played on that system and would love to.

Is this where we leave requests then? I want Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. I never got to complete that series.

Please add Rallisport Challenge 2 this time around. The original RSC was a backward compatible title on the Xbox 360 and the incredible sequel was forgotten. Easily the best rally racing game on the original Xbox and one of the best racers, period. Completely flawless and fluid that game was. The graphics can easily pass as an early X360 racer at that. Also Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast and its predecessor if anyone can afford the original Xbox version these days.

Why the fucking hell do they even have to go get right to games people already have purchased makes no sense

The wiiu played every single Wii game ever made the. Wii played every single game GameCube had PS2 played all PS1 games and they're not having to track down owners

Since everyone is making a wishlist: JSRF, Shenmue 2, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Ninja Gaiden, Phantom Crash, ect... Basically Japan's greatest hits on the console.

No one mentioned Toe Jam & Earl 3.

Original Xbox and Xbox One are both x86-based, so technically there should not be any reason for it to be more complex than the PowerPC-based Xbox 360 emulation. It's a matter of running the code, as they don't have to emulate hardware. Plus many Original Xbox games were Microsoft first-party titles, and it seems Sega is onboard.

It's simply ridiculous that Microsoft just don't put an Xbox OG emulator in the X so that you can play all OG Xbox games. If the X is half as powerful as promised it should not be an issue. Sure, emulation is rarely perfect but that is not a big deal in my book. My educated guess is that M$ want to put the OG games on sale digitally and possibly physically for a nice little profit. Good thing I have two original Xboxes so I don't have to deal with this shenanigans.

Give me Steel Battalion, Kung Fu Chaos, and Crimson skies and I'd be perfectly happy.

if I cant put a 360 game in this new machine I don't want it
