Without the original XBL, PSO is out of the question unfortunately.
also, there will be no PSO servers still running

Maybe the surprise Phil mentioned is the return of the original XBL on a smaller scale?
Please don't crush my dreams
I figure external servers games still won't work though, shame 😟

True, but I suspect that MS are trying to really go for broke with this, so things out of their control may prove too problematic
Crimson Skies for example is less interesting with no multiplayer options

KOF Neowave... never played that one. Is it any good?

Sorta, last page has a Reddit post on the matter.
Though I just remembered Fusion Frenzy had a sequel. Huh.

The one title that has me optimistic is Dead 2 Rights.. That's a Namco title which I still own.
Which means later we might get Breakdown also by Namco which I still own as well!

Ehhhhh its been a while..
It was def a precursor to Mirrors Edge. The story pushed me to keep playing. I must have played that game over 4 times.

I heard the combat was fun, but no mentions of story. I'm guessing if you played it 4 times over you must have really liked it!
that seems like a solvable problem
Cool, thanks! It's a decent start, but I hope that gamestop's leak is true too *fingers crossed* we have a decent selection of stuff to play before the end of the year...

I need me some capcom vs. snk 2 EO, please capcom! And of course, sega's games too.

Would it involve re-engineering the game's code though? The game has to locate a gamertag account to play offline. Could it find a gamertag on the Xbox One?
I guess the bigger question is.. can OG Xbox games be played online? Unfortunately I highly doubt it.
Still got my PSO 1/2 and PSO 1/2 Plus for GCN in the meantime

That wasn't a leak, those are just games that are BC on the Xbox 360.

People said that about XB360 on XB1 and look how that turned out. If it doesnt have online I dont think theyd even do it.

You wouldn't alter the game itself. It expects to find a gamertag, so the emulator would just need to simulate one. It wouldn't actually need to be hooked into any connection in order to get the singleplayer working.
Xbox 360's XBL wasn't dead though. It's not really the same thing at all. They'd have to basically stand up a new version of the original XBL.

Shenmue on Dreamcast, PSO too, Gun Valkyrie I can live without, Outrun would be nice but I'd rather take the 360 port of Coast to Coast.

Jesus this list sucks. Hopefully they start testing some of the big games soon.

Other than the fact that it can be easily played with a controller, it's not a good version of the game. Framerate and draw distance are rough. Before someone says you can play the PC version with a controller, yes, you technically can but the interface isn't made for it and it sucks ass. So that being said, I would probably buy the BC Xbox version if they used some BC magic to increase the framerate and draw distance. Won't happen, tho. I have the PC version modded and it looks and runs great, but I hardly play games with M+K anymore so I never play it.
Honestly Morrowind may be a good get when it gets added as the game saw marked improvements via file tweaking and hardware modding on the original xbox.
The biggest issue it had were the crashes from the ballooning save file issue beth games have. If the game is able to use an expanded ram pool on top of the potential fps speedups we see in a lot of 360 titles it could be an adequate way to play the game.
And if the games aren't required to be vanilla the draw distance can be modified by a simple file tweak if i recall correctly. It's just a question if Bethesda would do the 2 seconds of work required.
It all depends on how xb titles work on the xb1...and if we see res increases on top of all that I'll gladly retire my pc copy for the extra controller support.

BC is nice but all of those derserve proper 4K remaster.

Framerate will for sure be much better. Draw distance is likely locked though.

An API and some server side shenanigans. Lets wait and see.
YES!
Too bad that's not available anymore. And for some strange reason, the Xbox version is much more insanely expensive than the PS2 and PSP versions.
Meanwhile, Outrun 2 is more affordable.

I hope we get KOTOR
lmao WTF?? i bought this for no more than $10 two years ago. the vanilla release is great but it's ridiculous 2006 got so expensive out of nowhere. is it even rare?

Nothing! I said nothing!
So they will be selling digital copies of the original Xbox games then? Was this known.
Yes, and digital purchases of Xbox Originals for the 360 will carry over for games that are also made available for the Xbox One.
Same deal as 360 games really.

Wait. You can buy digital copies of BC OG Xbox games? I didn't know that. Cool.

Yeah during the 360 era Microsoft released some OG Xbox games digitally and it was called Xbox Originals, mind you the list was extremely small. Here's the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_Originals
If you've purchased any of these games, you'll be able to play them on the Xbox One when they become available since you already own the digital license.
Right, but can you.buy these now. Will they be available in the marketplace.

Starting to seem like thisll launch with the One X

I would assume that they'll be available to buy in the marketplace since you'll have to download the game regardless if you use a disc copy of the game. Some of those games in that leaked picture are available to purchase right now on the 360 store, but currently you can only play them on the 360 for now since they were part of that Xbox Originals program.
YES! o.o
