I would love a remaster of Conker, but remove some of those fucking bleeps. In the N64 game, it was funny, and only used on some words. In the Xbox version though, they bleeped almost everything. I don't want the great mighty poo song to have bleeps in it!
Working on PC is not an issue for the emulator.
Ensuring the integrity of Xbox Live and working within the existing licensing model is the holdup.
In short, more business reasons than technical. If it was just a matter of "can it run on Windows 10?" then it would have been there at launch.
Well done. I think that's it.
Original Xbox launched on November 15th 2001. 15 years later - to the day - it will be a part of Xbox One.
There are plenty of OG Xbox gems and BC would be very exciting. It's been one of the consistent questions since they announced 360 BC.
This
Itd bring a tear to my eyes. Let it be

PC Support would be fucking incredible, but I guess I'd have to finally invest in a DVD drive for my PC......
I guess I'm cool with whatever though, JSRF would be the megaton though if they were like HEY WE'RE DOING XBOX GAMES TOO though.

What Xbox games are available on digital? Halo CE? I'd need to see that list of games because pure disc BC would be a very niche announcement.
However, playing Vice City on my Xbox One would be amazing. Would need to dig up whatever games I still have around.
You're right. Rage is 3, i forgot that was already there.
That or it might be that they are about to do a huge dump of games onto the service.
If it is, then let it be multiple games, and some awesome and unexpected ones. Not just another Call of Duty....give me Naruto: Rise of a Ninja xD I loved that game.
Should be fine I think. Bumpers to replace Black and White buttons I'd imagine.

it would use the bumpers
It would be insane if original discs were supported. It would also be a hilarious contrast to Sony's lack of shits given with regards to disc support of previous generation hardware.
OG Xbox support on Xbone seems like a nightmare for Microsoft to emulate.
PC 360 support seems more plausible because they've moved into this UWP/all XBO exclusives are cross-platform sphere. It also makes the attractiveness of 360 BC more attractive to Xbox, if only for W10 adoption/retention

Yeah, I just took a look. The original Xbox controller had way too many face buttons, but that would work.

I would love to play Panzer Dragoon Orta and of course, Rallisport Challenge 2.
From a technical perspective it would be less work than 360 emulation.
The holdup has never been been the difficulty, but rather the IP rights held by Nvidia.
Hmm don't know about that. The 360 could emulate some OG games already. Its not Cell to Ps4 tier of nightmare at any rate.

OG Xbox or PC support are the only things I could consider big
Lmao oops damn auto correct! I really hate SwiftKey sometimes. Going to fix it now. Thanks!
The 360 remapped the OXbox's black and white buttons to the shoulder buttons, which is presumably what the Xbone controller would do.

I would literally buy an Xbox One S the day this was announced. I have my OG Xbox sitting next to my 360 and my PS4.
Well that's what I mean. I don't know if MS is willing to do so, but Nvidia's re-emergence in the console space might lead to it.
An OG Emulator on XBO would also probably lead to a PC emulator since it'd be a lot more documented.

I think it's gonna be like ps2 classics on PS4, OG Xbox games on Xbox one. 1080p with trophies, that's what I hope at least lol
No stop ✋ don't you mess with our faux hype train 🚂.
Wow, I just imagined it would be about a specific game since that's what the question was about when he went on to this "huge announcement" stuff (what one game the Major would bring to Xbox backwards compatibility had he the choice), but if it's either of these two, that would be wonderful.

Tell you what MS, make all original Xbox titles BC and I will buy an Xbox S despite already owning an Xbox One. I have something like 400 original Xbox titles, and would like to tinker with them on my modern sound system since my old Xbox is on a soundbar and such.

Baiten Kaitos on 360?
Considering he was responding to a question about what game he was most looking forward to coming to backwards compatibility, I would be very surprised if it was anything else.
