Nelson_Mandela 12/20/19 2:19:18 PM #1:	I never owned a Microsoft system in my life, but recently came into a 360. So now I am looking to build up my library from the ground up. It seems like every original XBox game worth playing is backwards compatible with the 360. Does anyone have experience with this? Is there anything I should be aware of? How does it compare to playing on the XBONE? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:931848313] in Original X...

RyoCaliente 12/20/19 2:40:26 PM #2:	I think backwards compatibility to the One improves it a bit graphically. I also don't know if EVERY game is available for backward compatibility. Maybe check out this Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360 --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! <cite>RyoCaliente posted [p:931849208] in Original X...

Maybe check out this Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360 That's what I cross-checked against! All of the original XB exclusives that are worth playing are b/c with the 360 (except for Stranger's Wrath, but the HD port is on PS3 anyway). So the XBONE upscales the actual discs but the 360 doesn't? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:931849433] in Original X...

RyoCaliente 12/20/19 2:52:37 PM #4:	It doesn't just do it for discs. I'm playing Jade Empire right now (which I had to buy and download on my 360 before I was able to download and install it on my One...Microsoft is weird) but it looks really good. There's a bunch of graphical comparisons you can see on YT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsefgx9Nwh0). 360 doesn't do any kind of graphical upgrade as far as I remember. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! <cite>RyoCaliente posted [p:931849687] in Original X...

Nelson_Mandela 12/20/19 3:04:33 PM #5:	Oh wow. It almost seems pointless to play these on the 360 at that point. Does b/c work the same on XBONE though? Pop in the disc and it plays? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:931850142] in Original X...

Jakyl25 12/20/19 3:06:50 PM #6:	Nah I think if its B/C you pop in the disc and it has to download it Could be wrong --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:931850224] in Original X...

Also yeah, the graphical upgrades some old games get on the One are truly impressive, and IMO the only way to play them. --- Phantom Dust.

RyoCaliente 12/20/19 3:16:33 PM #8:	Yeah, I mean, if you have a One, just play it on the One. Backwards compat on 360 is for people who only have access to a 360. --- How paralyzingly dull, boring and tedious! <cite>RyoCaliente posted [p:931850551] in Original X...

Nelson_Mandela 12/20/19 3:22:37 PM #9:	I do not have a One. I suppose my worry would be that it loses its b/c as soon as Microsoft stops supporting the downloads, whereas it seems like the 360 is more plug and play? --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:931850771] in Original X...

Jakyl25 12/20/19 3:24:43 PM #11:	Also obviously looking at the list, the 360 is b/c with a lot more games --- Thank you, Eddie Guerrero. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRlKR5nU8AA_v_C?format=jpg&name=large <cite>Jakyl25 posted [p:931850850] in Original X...
