| John2290 said: There would be no games to put on it or at least no iconic exclusives. It would comprise of Halo CE and Project Gothem racing... what else would there be that would feed on anyone's nostalgia. MS simply don't have a strong legacy. |
There is tons.
Fable, Morrowind, Ninja Gaiden, Conker, Blinx, Forza, Jet Set Radio, Otogi... And more.
Halo, Fable, Forza, Project Gotham have to be on there... That would be like releasing a Playstation Classic without Spyro and Crash Bandicoot or a SNES Classic without Super Mario World, Super Metroid and Donkey Kong.
| Mr Puggsly said: I hear ya, optimization matters. Either way the current OG Xbox emulator MS has works well and does so on existing Xbox One specs. |
Could be allot better though. And will get allot better... It's still very early days for Original Xbox backwards compatibility.
| Mr Puggsly said: You keep comparing specs like OG Xbox's GPU, earlier you were talking architecture. But the emulation process is much more resource intensive. |
When it comes to the Original Xbox, there is less emulation, more repacking and abstraction going on, that's what I am trying to say.
Emulation tends to be more of a requirement when you deviate from the hardwares ISA. I.E. PowerPC on the 7th gen consoles.
The Original Xbox is x86 like the PC and the Xbox One remember.
| Mr Puggsly said: Again, maybe a final revision of the base Xbox One could make a lot of tweaks that also bring the price down. |
Well. Only so far you can take that.
| Mr Puggsly said: I don't think there would be a big profit selling games on a device dedicated solely to playing OG Xbox games. If anything, sell the Xbox One at a lost and hope for profits there. More potential there from subscription services and vastly superior library. |
We are probably never going to agree at this point about this particular issue. I just don't see the current Xbox One as being cheap enough to hit the $100 price point or less that make these Nostalgia fueled boxes desirable by the masses.
