Oh gosh, Pub Games. I remember grinding that game out in anticipation of Fable II.
This also reminds me that the Dead Space 2 preorder game, Dead Space Ignition, has still not appeared in my ready to install list. I gotta contact support over that.
So many times I was on the fence about getting Fable digitally but it just never got quite low enough. I bet its a while before it hits that $13 range again...
Unless someone is gonna be willing to convert Fable The Journey over into a strict controller based rail shooter (where it would instantly lose all of it's charm) I don't think Kinect emulation is at all possible (according to Phil's past statements) or even desirable given this Kinects low adoption numbers this gen (and even smaller overlap between owners of the game on last gen and Kinect owners this gen)
So it's basically stuck there forever as I see it. Which is a shame because I contend that it has a great story, the best in the series, and there was some fun to be had with the motion controls that simply wouldn't work on a controller
Nothing stopping them from remastering it ala those disney titles they have coming later on. Upgrade support to kinect 2.0 and add a controller mode alongside. In fact I'd be shocked if they don't do this.
Also wouldn't be shocked if Capcom did a quick remaster of that steel battalion game if they can figure out a control scheme that works on pad. That version might even work this time.

Excellent! I own fable anniversary but I haven't properly had a chance to play it. I do remember it having dodgy frame rates on 360 though.
...
I've had a rough history with this game, I owned the original on the OG xbox, got halfway-ish through and my disc stopped working.
I went to the store to exchange it and they gave me lost chapters (or it could've been the vanilla one, my memory is hazy) whatever it was, it was the opposite to the version I owned and my save didn't work. So I started again and got 30ish% through and my save file got corrupted.
Then I tried playing it AGAIN after a friend begged me to do so (as it was his favourite game and he was trying to get a job at lionhead, rip) on the xbox 360 core. Can you guessed what happened? My 360 RROD'd :-( and it was the 4th time it did that so I bought an xbox 360 slim... and it turns out, you couldn't transfer your OG xbox saves, so I lost everything again!
Then I bought the anniversary edition a few months after release, played about 10% but tbf I just kinda lost interest (and thought the remaster wasn't that good? The visuals were nice sure, just the FPS was a little rough).
Now it coming full circle! I need to get this game completed once and for all. Here's to xbox one BC!
(Update: Oh crap, ive run out of gold and won't be able to transfer my save from my 360 slim. I promised myself I wouldn't get gold till black friday. Dang it! )
One day, Sam Fisher, you will rize fwom your gwave!
Same here, even though I bought the Xbox Originals digital copy of the first a long time ago. Glad I bought Anniversary last time it went on sale, now. Maybe I'll finally get into it this time.
Nice to see Fable.
AMAZED they even bothered with Pub Games. That is like legit just a game for it's time. It was nothing more than a hype machine filler until Fable 2 came out. There's no reason to bother with it now.

They've been updating seeming all of the 360 backwards compatibility titles. I've had most of my titles update over the past few weeks. Probably just an incremental upgrades to the emulator software.

Im kinda surprised they cant just release a firmware update to allow the 360 Kinect to connect via USB and also release a USB dongle that connects to 360 accessories so we can get Hero music games as BC too.
I had fable anniversary. Somehow. Woo? Guess i'll finally finish it after i beat inquisition. What's the difference between it and just normal fable again?

Fable Anniversary has a good bit of DLC. That makes it a GWG possibility. So what they do is put it out on BC now, give it a couple months to squeeze some money out of people willing to buy it. Put it on sale in November to pick up any stragglers, and then make it a GWG for December holidays to the delight of those who did not buy it.

We don't know the specific resolutions yet but the games definitely run at a higher resolution than 480p. Microsoft had Crimson Skies on a LAN running between a XB1s and an original Xbox at E3 and there was a big difference in image quality and loading times on the S.
Crimson Skies and Fuzion Frenzy running on xbox one in this video, just a few seconds but I think it's interesting.
The video is in spanish, I can't find any other video, is it the first footage? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBExj2SlNTw 12.15

Finally, Fable Anniversary. The one game that I had wanted since the program was announced. Of course it happens right after I sell my Xbox in anticipation of the X. Oh well, at least it'll be ready as soon as I pick up my X.

At $40 I will sure as hell hold off. I went to buy it immediately and saw that it is still the bafflingly high $40. I will never understand when publishers don't pair the sale with the BC announcement. It's a lot easier to impulse a $20 game when it goes BC than a $40 one.
