Backwards Compatibility

Will morrowwind be getting an update? That is literally one if the best games, but worst performer on xbox. Would be amazing to play that at a smooth frame rate and 1080p at least.

I'd guess it averaged about 18fps on OG Xbox.
...but then that kind of game was simply not possible on console at all before Morrowind (huge, open world RPG couldn't be done until Xbox), so there was really no comparison. It looked great for what it was, but yeah, it'd be really nice to see it all cleaned up.

I will say that the 5.1 sound quality was flat-out way ahead of it's time.
 
Finish this sentence... you'll like KOTOR if you liked...

...video games.

Wow, this all is just too much to take in. The improved resolutions make me want to play many of them again. Still have all my old discs so I am golden. First up Crimson Skies, then KOTOR, Psychonauts...gotta find that copy of Black too. Sooooo GOOD!!!
 
Black and Crimson showed up in my que today. Downloaded them both. Its incredible what MS has done here.

Of course the sum bishes won't allow you to purchase other titles because of some malfunction in the system. Good ol Microsoft. Two steps forward, one step back.
 
Anyone looking to play online-LAN goodness, it works!

 
Same. I bought NGB on Xbox.com.

Annoyingly Psychonauts isn't available in the UK digitally. I think cos Majesco published it.

I bought it digitally when it was made BC on Xbox 360 so it showed up in my ready to download list.

Just change region to buy it
 
Crap! Because I don't have a Ninja Gaiden save file, it's making me start on normal difficulty. At least let me start on hard! I guess I'll be doing a speed run :(
 
So is Grabbed by the Ghoulies the version that's on rare replay?

And oh s***! Just saw Nordic Games own the Full Spectrum Warrior IP so with some luck those will become BC

Rare Replays is 1080/60 and has cheevos. OG Xbox is 920/30fps

I got Rare Replay for £6.60 last year (digital) and came with 29 other games.

GBTG OG is £6.75. Id wait for RR to go on sale again.
 
I have it already just wondered if this version was as sharp as the rare replay version?
 
Would depend on Bethesda. It would be a lot of work.
Sounds like they Microsoft are doing all of the testing in-house for these games, but it's merely tweeking. They have built an emu to do the heavy lifting. I believe we will see a 60fps/16X res Morrowind at some point.

Would be nice. Would also be nice if they'd incorporate some of the better PC patches while they're at it. And improved the combat. And the journal...

What's wrong with the journal?
 
Resolution makes a difference

KotoR comparison Xb1/360/OG

Despite the resolution increase, Xbox One often runs at more than double the frame rate capped to 60fps...Scorpio should be good

Wow this game ran like ass on the 360. They'll have to add an X1X test to that group soon so we can see across all 4. Hoping for a steady 60 fps/1920p. Pretty lame that a lot of games back then were 4:3/didn't have a widescreen mode. Played some Crimson Skies yesterday and it was fun but those textures/4:3 aspect...ewwww.

They really ought to find a way to allow these old games to connect and play online officially but I know that will never happen :(. Playing MechAssault and RTCW online would be ace.
