OG XBox Backwards Compatibility Final Update - Adam Koralik

[@greatmentakingovertheworld4800]

One of the reasons I got a Series X. I never had any of the older Xbox consoles so this gives me a chance to catch up on some classics I missed out on from back in the day. Them being in 4k as well is straight up chef's kiss mode. Wish they were able to bring over all games but this is still a WAAAAY better effort than the other consoles efforts with backwards compatibility

[@MadnessMan13]

The F.E.A.R. franchise being added with FPS boost has been a dream come true. All games play beautifully on my Series X. Super happy to see you make a vid covering this final update Adam.

It sucks that FEAR 1, 3 and Files are not available to buy digitally. Physical copy prices have skyrocketed after the news on eBay. I have hard copies of 1 and 2, but 3 has gotten too expensive now ($50+ now, was about $15 pre-announcement). 💩

The good thing about them using the original disk as an unlock key like you mentioned is if a disk is super scratched up and basically unplayable in an original console chances are it will still work well enough for the machine to detect what it is and download it. And that Was the case with my time splitters 2 disk.

I'm so happy that we've finally got the Timesplitters games backwards compatible! I've played nothing but play both games on my Xbox One since they became backwards compatible, been hoping for it to happen for a long time and once I heard that Koch Media got the rights to it a couple of years ago I've almost been expecting it to happen. Very glad it did.

[@braddl9442]

Im prob just going to get them digitally. They are going for like 50 bucks on average for a good copy. I had all the games on this list except for the timesplitters games, since I had them on PS2 but I would like them on my XBOX with the updates.

[@xMTxcameron]

@@braddl9442 Bloody hell, I didn't realise they were so expensive nowadays. I still have my original copies thankfully, I did notice that they're about £8.00 digitally, so I guess that's going to be around $10 in the US so that would save you quite a bit of money. I've played Timesplitters Future Perfect a lot more than the 2nd game since they became available which plays and looks great, you get the occasional stutter just as you're about to load into a game but other than that no issues so far. It's amazing to have the games available to play on modern hardware, Future Perfect is still a fantastic looking game anyway and it looks even better than I remember on the Xbox One. I just started playing Timesplitters 2 today and I'm falling in love with that again too, sadly they don't make games like these anymore.

[@Richard.Linder]

Microsoft's attitude towards backwards compatibility is one of the main reasons I bought an Xbox Series X (and Xbox Game Pass). I just felt that Microsoft deserved my money more than their competitors did. Which is interesting, considering their terrible PR blunder at the beginning of their previous generation. When Microsoft announced that Xbox One would need a permanent Internet connection - even to play offline games - and would not allow used games, they lost me. I felt abused, taken for granted. There was no way a company that treated its customers with such contempt was going to get a cent out of me! But I gotta give them credit. From that terrible start, Microsoft really needed to win many us back. And they spent much of that generation turning things around. With their backward compatibly efforts, and the value proposition of Game Pass, Microsoft actually comes across as the most consumer / gamer friendly company in their field. They really have redeemed themselves, in my eyes. It just shows what a difference it makes when the people in charge, the people who work there, actually care about gamers and gaming. Their passion comes through, and lends them credibility. My console choice was not just based on technical specs, it was about who i felt earned and most deserved my business.

[@williamloney8633]

Feeling super old this month. I was 18 when the Xbox launched and was caught off guard realizing Xbox and Halo were 20 this month. OG Xbox was the first console I bought for myself with a case and a screen that attached to the console. I bought it while in the army at AIT , I joined in September of 2001. We used to link consoles and play Halo in the bay on the weekends. Some of my fondest memories of the army.

Adam, Im glad you explained why licensing is an issue. The workaround could be just playing off the disc for the rest of the library like the OG Xbox/360 did, no downloads, no store version. I’m sure when Phil mentioned “legal emulation”, the BC team already has something internal that works. If Analogue can release FPGA consoles that just play your legacy libraries, then Xbox can do the same making it a true all-in-one. Can only hope.

[@emoxvx]

I was gonna say the same about JSRF... To play it I have download a ROM of it, an emulator and run the game with the limitations and glitches of the emulation, oh, and play it in 4:3... What is a deal breaker about the emulation of JSRF on PC is that all the graff pieces, whether it's tags, throwies, whatever, all appear glitched the fuck up. Kind of a deal-breaker for a game so focused on bombing all the time.

Binary Domain and Gunvalkyrie were the big ones for me as a Sega fan. In Binary Domain's case I bought it, played a bit, and then put it in my backlog hoping it would be made backwards compatible.

[@bigmicki]

Series X is my first ever xbox that i purchased. Earlier i always bought PS consoles (i do own PS5 as well). When i first discovered the BC list of xbox and xbox360, I was on cloud nine. TBH backwards compatible games are where i spend most of my time on. I love 360 era games, and 4K, auto HDR and fps boost (on some), just makes it the best way to experience these games. When I tried to play some of these 7th gen games via ps now (now ps plus premuim), it's not even close experience wise, since ps3 gen games are streamed and ofcourse not 4k and no auto hdr, fps boost etc. I wish more games from the 360 era drop on the bc list in the future, but we all know thats not gonna happen. Big respect and kudos to microsoft for making this effort in the first place and give us the current BC lib, as thats an amazing experience for any gamer who loves those old games.

One thing to consider is that each 360 and original Xbox game has to be licensed to run on Xbox One or Series X. But, every single Xbox One game can run on Series X without the need to license it for the Series X. Why is this? It’s because the Series X is just a more powerful Xbox One.

Gun Valkyrie? Yeah my 360 could never run that. Good addition. One solution to backwards compatibility I wanted to see was having an "all in one" version of the latest Xbox or Playstation system. Where all the original hardware of previous systems is just packed in there, and it boots up the correct "system" when the disc is inserted. Just like what we saw with PS1 games on PS2, and Gamecube games on Wii. I applaud Microsoft's efforts here, but it's gotta be very expensive to get the rights for digital redistribution of games. And having that dictate what the full library is for physical media as well seems very stifling. Having a big library to shop from is very appealing, but I'd bet game collectors especially would pay outrageous prices for a machine that can handle all their generations of game discs with the best performance.

Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, and DoA Xtreme Volleyball were all exclusive to Xbox because of Itagaki, the director at the time only wanting to work on “the most powerful console” at the time. He saw the other consoles as pointless.

[@braddl9442]

Technologically they can. Its things like Music, Voice Acting, Vehicle, and Actor likeness licensing on a lot of stuff is next to impossible to resolve. Then there might even be some tech of software licensing and compatibility that is no good anymore. Last there is the fact many companies that made some games no longer exist and the rights to certain IP are in a legal limbo with no clear owner. Sometimes the rights to some IP can end up split and no one can do anything with it.

Exactly.

[@braddl9442]

@@AdamKoralik It got real awkward when you started to say all this stuff half way into the video because I wrote this while you were still in the intro and laying the groundwork part at the start. LoL.

Even if Rockstar gave permission to allow the OG GTA games back compat they still have expired music licenses which explains the missing music tracks in the remastered trilogy

[@mrjameshendry]

Music and Car Licenses are the big ones.

[@InfectedJello]

They did what they could, I respect that.

Gladius is such a great game and WOW it was a surprise to see it in the store.

[@infernonine]

Great video subbed to the Chanel.

[@JackalGoldKick]

Good video. Wish we could have gotten more there's alot I like that dint get added.

[@Catmato]

Pretty disappointing that some OG Xbox games that ran on 360, such as Silent Hill 2, weren't made compatible with Xbone/SeriesX. Still nice to have some added anyway.

[@braddl9442]

That might be because the "REMASTERED" collection was made and worked on the Xbox One and Series X. Even though its a bug filled mess.

[@jtrinidad1884]

Wish I could play some more xbox og games. But still happy microsoft gave us the ability to preserve and replay some of our older games from previous generations.

[@Born...]

So many good games being left behind. Thankfully the xbox emulator for the PC being worked on will make sure that these games are not forgotten.

[@indypoppy1]

Having not watched the full video yet, in my opinion there will be more if the demand is there. Let's be honest Xbox said no more yet we got more and who knows there are a lot of great games left off the list im hoping for more personally.

[@PureBassO]

I don't think this has been done due to demand... I think Microsoft had the money to do the deals to make this happen easily and quickly i bet this has been done in a very short amount of time

[@matthewmacgregor09]

I think you’re right

[@indypoppy1]

@@PureBassO i can agree with that i do think the people had a huge part it getting this done, though i mean if we didn't use it why do it?

[@reijigamer]

As is said in the video, it is not that Microsoft doesn't want to make more games compatible, it is with the right holders of the games allowing Microsoft to do so.

[@samfrito]

I hope you're right. Love to see Iron Phoenix, True Crime and 007 From Russia kick ass in 4k, but I dream every night wake up clueless.

[@Peterplayingguitar]

I got Jedi Knight II: Jedi outcast!! A dream come true!! So happy. It plays and looks great too. Really bummed that they'll stop BC from now on though. I wish i could have my full collection on Xbox seriesX so I could finally just have one console.

[@billdestroyerofworlds]

Microsoft has said that this is the last of the games, but I really do hope that some nice licensing deals can just fall straight into the lap of Microsoft's lawyers and we can then get another batch.

9:45 if you find _Battlefield 2_ at Goodwill for $1 *it's because you passed up a deal to buy a CIB Apple Pippin for $1.01*
