I was just pointing out that MS returned to their OG Xbox emulator after about a decade. They made updates, added games to the store, etc. Essentially MS has given me reasons to be optimistic.

I don't actually disagree, there is reason to be optimistic, track record speaks for itself.
But you should have an understanding of how I think by now... That until we actually have evidence or confirmation, then it's all baseless speculation.

If X1 games get a resolution boost on Series X it will likely be the same method used now. 360 games on X1X become pixel count x9. So 720p games become 4K (720p x 3 = 2160p). If Series X can't go that far, maybe 720p X1 games could simply become 1440p (720p x 2). That would still be a massive improvement. While 1080p games become 4K.

9x increase of 900P would be 2700P or 4800x2700, which is an insane pixel count.
Or for 1080P titles... It would be 5760x3240.

You need an insane amount of bandwidth and fillrate to maintain playability at those resolutions, not saying it can't be done, just unlikely.

Microsoft will probably take a targeted approach either way, that is... They will pick and choose which games get a resolution bump rather than a blanket increase across all 720P-1080P titles, provided they go down this path in the first place. (Again, baseless irrelevant speculation and all of that jumbo!)

There are notable OG Xbox and 360 games that will never come to BC, but that list is probably smaller than you think. Most licensed games are middling, the good ones are few. Hopefully PC emulators support all games down the road, but MS added virtually all the 360 games that were highly requested.

Xbox 360:
* Naruto: Rise of a Ninja.
* Naruto: The Broken Bond.
* Batman: Arkham City.
* Supreme Commander 1.
* Tomb Raider 2013.
* Dishonored.
* Metro 2033.
* Metro: Last Light.
And tons more that could be thrown in for good measure.

~ Only 575 titles out of 2084 Xbox 360 games are backwards compatible. That is only 27.5% of the games library... Unless you are suggesting only 27.5% of the Xbox 360 library was semi-decent and the rest was shovelware?


Original Xbox:
* Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis.
* Halo: Combat Evolved.
* Halo 2.
* Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance.
* Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance 2.
* Dead or Alive 3.
* Project Gotham Racing.
* Grand Theft Auto 3.
* Fable: The Lost Chapters.
* Mech Assault.
* Call of Duty 1+2+3.
* Gauntlet: Dark Legacy.
* Gaintlet: Seven Sorrows.
* Brothers in Arms.
* Oddworld: Munch's Odyssee.
* Oddworld: Strangers Wrath.

 ~Only 41 out of 1,000+ (4.1%!!!) titles from the OG Xbox are operational on the Xbox One, there is a shit ton of titles that are needed to be supported, not even kidding.
