Five original Xbox games that would work on Xbox One

In 2001 Microsoft decided they wanted a slice of the videogame business and the Xbox was launched, changing the face of gaming forever. While relatively short lived, the original Xbox paved away for the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live. The rest is history. While many franchises that appeared on the original Xbox made the transition to 360 in later sequels, a few were left behind.

The original XBox had an x86_32 architecture (32-bit 733 MHz, custom Intel Pentium III) so I would expect it would be fairly easy for Microsoft to develop an emulator for the XB1, that is if Microsoft gave the go-ahead.

See the following for more info on XBox emulators: https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Let's take this time to confess...

I really liked Obi Wan on Xbox. One of my favorite Star Wars games, I must admit...lol

poppinslops3291d ago (Edited 3291d ago )

The first Xbox had a bunch of great Star Wars titles... the 'Knights of the Old Republic' games were brilliant, as was Pandemic's take on 'Battlefront' - not to mention 'Republic Commando' and 'Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy'.

One could argue it was the golden-age for Star Wars games - Last-gen's best Star Wars titles were Lego-based and DICE'S current-gen 'Battlefront' was not the game I was looking for... That said, Bioware are working on a new Star Wars project, and Visceral's game with Amy Hennig has potential.

My old Xbox is long-gone, but I still enjoy going back and replaying the KOTORs (via 360BC) - especially since they appear to have 'survived' the extended-universe's reboot (with references popping-up in 'Rebels' episodes, as well as 'The Force Awakens')... the MMO isn't bad, but they're still my ultimate Star Wars games.

This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.

Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.

Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games

Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.

Einhander1972280d ago

At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.

This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies

Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.

TheEroica279d ago

14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.

seanpitt23280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..

How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on

Einhander1972280d ago

PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.

And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.

Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.

crazyCoconuts280d ago

Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.

darthv72280d ago

For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.

VersusDMC280d ago

Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.

Becuzisaid280d ago

I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.

pwnmaster3000280d ago

I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did

Deeeeznuuuts280d ago

Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!

Damn, I got to buy that game to play timesplitters 2 now xd

Skuletor1502d ago

Still have my PS2 copy, and a multi-tap with my PS2 for 4 player split-screen.

"Unfortunately, there's no info on how these codes might work on the PC version of the game, although it wouldn't be surprising for someone to figure it out in the near future." I wonder if the same codes would work if you plugged a controller to the PC.
