"Too Early To Say" How Many OG Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Games There Will Be

@graffitiheart: skip kotor and jade empire. Both are on PC and run just fine on pretty much anything from the last 10 years. I know those were two big xbox titles but the PC versions are just superior and if there is only going to be a limited number of titles done I'd rather they spend that time on a couple of games people can't play elsewhere and better. I mean heck there is even a really solid port of kotor on mobile/tablets. Not to mention a pretty solid modding community on PC.

@lorddaggeroff: The world says 'Huh'?

@kyelo: I would imagine it's fairly low, but it's a free program, so there's really nothing to lose.

Dispite what the angry sony fanboys tell you on backwards compatibility. xbox 1 users have played over 508 million hours of gaming

@kyelo: you can rebuy the games with backwards compatability digitally so that wouldnt be a problem

@Mirimon78: Not necessarily as those were ones that were easier for them to emulate on the 360 which used a PowerPC/RISC chip and they obviously aren't going to go through two layers of emulation to accomplish this. Since the One and original Xbox use the same base architecture emulation is easier and opens up more possibilities for potential titles. And none of those would have had licensing issues (on the 360) since they all ran from the original media instead of having to be redistributed on a console they were never licensed to be distributed on (as well as the length of time resulting in many licenses expiring).

@willnulife: Thank you! I feel like I'm the only one who loved MK Deadly Alliance, Deception, Armageddon.

@willnulife: Ninja Gaiden, I forgot about that game. Absolutely!

@turok0: every month you get 2 x360 games with gwg

@xantufrog: well, OG xbox had (compared to their following platforms) a greater variety of genres and original games. True, most I have on my pc, but man... they had some rare gems.

@motive: And Jade Empire. I still have the original discs for those games.
