Morrowind? Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssss . My favorite game of all time.

guywazeldatatt2251d ago

pretty excited. I mean if you think about it, if Microsoft can really pull it out this year, they really only had one bad year. 2016 was really good.

RacerX2251d ago

Personally, I'd trade in these 4 original Xbox games for 1 new IP.

They are great games, but please put resources into new exclusives!

"Four Original Xbox Games May Be Coming to Xbox One"

Four Orignal Xbox Games I will not care about.

Backwards Compatibility never mattered. It's such a mute point.

If it’s your favorite game don’t you have it on PC? I know I do , I do have the old Xbox version even but I hated that version but I did keep it

DxTrixterz2251d ago

I have Steam version of it, physical PC version on base Morrowind and also physical PC version of Game of the Year edition as well. I love Morrowind to death. I have 98 hours on steam clocked in.

Morrowind would be amazing in 4k on my X. Just a classic game...need to add this to my library.

Ok, so, I hate to be the bearer of bad news (I love morrowind) but 4k really isn't gonna help much. Like, the game was released in 2002. And it looks like it was released in 2002. Displaying it in 4k will serve primarily to show you exactly how blocky and terrible most things look in incredible detail. It's, uh, not a big improvement, I'm sorry to say.

This is Fuzion Frenzy (also on the original Xbox), the difference is big enough to notice once given the treatment. You don't have to be sorry about anything...if it comes down to treatment vs no treatment, I'd take the treatment. Hopefully Morrowind has it...

Not quite. The original xbox games were down sampled to match tv's at the time. So the when emulated the games are actually able to run how they were intended, but were never able to due to the hardware. They look better.

jznrpg2251d ago (Edited 2251d ago )

I love Morrowind and I go back and play it on my PC once every year or 2 but I have a great monitor and it doesn’t make it look any better

Princess_Pilfer2251d ago

I own the game on PC and the original Xbox hon. I know what it looks like. No amount of high resolution is making this look good.

It's just, it's just not. It can look decent (somewhere between oblivion and skyrim) if you mod it soo heavily you're bringing the engine to it's knees, but that's the only way it doesn't look horrible. The art style holds up well, but the game looks like garbage as soon as you're actually looking at anything up close, and high resolution isn't fixing that.

timotim2251d ago

And that's fine...but my statement still stands. The game will look BETTER with the X treatment than it does without it...that's all I'm saying haha.

If it's going to come over to BC (which I hope it does), having it enhanced for my X is preferred...end of story.

Max Payne, Red Dead Revolver and more added to the old Xbox marketplace

Eleven games from the original Xbox were added to the old marketplace, including some Rockstar classics like Max Payne, Manhunt and Red Dead Revolver.

porkChop941d ago

It's pretty clear at this point that Xbox are about to drop a bunch of new backwards compatible games for the 20th anniversary.

Kurt Russell939d ago

It has been 20 years?!? How old I am I! I was 18 when I played Halo... JEEZE I AM DECREPID!

Orchard941d ago

Max Payne and Manhunt? Please be true!

Orchard940d ago (Edited 940d ago )

I'll definitely be picking these up, would love to play through MP 1+2 and Manhunt again, and even RDRevolver.

I hope they add MP3 next!

EDIT: It looks like they're already purchasable too? I wonder if they work/run already.

autobotdan940d ago (Edited 940d ago )

Orchid I am still at work. I've been at work all day so I haven't tried them yet. But I have friends at home who tried the exact original Xbox game discs and they are not yet working. We all probably have to wait till November 15 Monday afternoon for them to work. Just four more days to go..

Orchard940d ago

Thanks for the info! Useful!

autobotdan939d ago

And both games Manhunt and Max Payne get 4k resolution upgrades!

GamerRN940d ago

I am probably the ultimate minority here, but please, give me Risk Factions!

traumadisaster939d ago

There is like half a dozen of those made in last decade I think.

GamerRN937d ago

Not one of them was like Risk: Factions

autobotdan940d ago

After next week, Dead or Alive 4 will be the only DOA not playable on xbox series consoles. Well they might even just add DOA4 to BC on Monday. That would make Xbox the only consoles to play DOA 1-6

Xbox Store Ultimate Game Sale Live, Over 700 Games Discounted Listed (US)

Microsoft has launched the Xbox Store Ultimate Game Sale (Summer Sale) and there are over 700 games discounted. Here's the full list.

brewin1049d ago

Xbox has no games is a phrase I hear frequently on this website. There are some incredible games on sale right now. Some of last Jen's finest exclusives can be had super cheap. A lot of them also on Game Pass yes but if you want to own a digital copy now's the time. Sunset Overdrive deluxe version for $7.50. Quantum break for $10. Forza Horizon 4 ultimate for 44. Gears 5 game of the year for 25 the Ori games for 17. Just right there there's a lot of games and most of them feature all the DLC. I highly advise Playstation only gamers to at least pick up a series s and check out some of these games. I think Playstation only gamers are missing out by not playing these particular titles. Particularly Sunset Overdrive. That is insomniac's most original title and probably the second best game they've ever made!

autobotdan1049d ago

Are you are seriously trying to convince Playstation gamers on n4g to buy an xbox?! That's like trying to convince United States speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi to turn republican lol

Overwatch for $14.99 is a good deal. OW2 is on the way but there is no real timeline at the moment so you’d certainly get your money’s worth if you haven’t already purchased.

Xbox Store Hall of Fame Sale Now Live, Hall of Fame Competition Announced

The Xbox Store Hall of Fame sale has been launched today, along with the Xbox Hall of Fame contest for gamers! Win an Xbox Series X and more.

sourOG1332d ago

That’s an awful set of games for an entire generation lmao. I’m hyped to see what their new first party produces. Hopefully the next gen “hall of fame sale” won’t be so lackluster.

purple1011332d ago

Disclaimer ..I'm a Sony fan. Although my brother has Xbox and we share and play together sometimes. Used to play halo avidly..but more recently ..cod. GT sport. And other Sony games such as God of war. spiderman. And uncharted 4/lost legacy.

Mainly play modernwarefare standard multiplayer.(not warzone) GTsport . And a couple free games you get each month.

Pheww. That's that then..

My comment of this list is..

Gears of war 5 is a masterpiece. -if shootings your thing..but the rest are average. -and that's at very best. I'm being kind.. there very very average. Some fun to be found..but nothing groundbreaking. Or dazzling.

Compared to the fighting mechanics in Spiderman and God of war.. they are beat hands down. And there's no point in arguing it..untill you've played all said games mentioned.

Finally il give props to Forza. It's very very good.

But again .. go choose any car..play Nuremberg ring on Forza then on GT sport.

On GT you feel every bump in the road. Your belly might "go light" when you raise over a bump. The smoothness is immense. The fighting and competitiveness is great.

Now play Forza. Car handles like a PS2 game. Triggers buZz away like a can of wasps.. it's not even close.

To finish digital foundry did a comparison when they both came out. Concluded there both very good. Very close grafics wise. GT edges it just, on car detail . Forza has more detail on the tracks. The tracks also have better lighting on Forza, by some way. Even though GTs lighting is totally beautiful.

But the physics handling models etc. And close racing go to GT. So it's a toss up..

Can't wait til next gen..

Wish Microsoft and Xbox well. But just the ps5 controller wins it for me.

Best controller ever made in the $60-$70 range. Or what ever you can get it for on sale..

Have a great day. Game on
