Over the summer during E3 2017, Microsoft announced that it would begin adding original Xbox titles to the list of backward compatible games on the Xbox One before the end of the year. IGN revealed today that the first thirteen of those games will be playable on the new console on Tuesday, October 24th — all of which have been enhanced with 1080p resolution, smoother framerates and quicker loading times than the original games.

Crimson Skies Original Disc Failure to be seen in Xbox one First, I own the original Crimson Skies original xbox disc, my original xbox finally had laser failure and I tossed it but kept my games. So I decided to try the backwards compatibility for it, inserted disk and it acts as if there is no disk. I mostly do gaming videos but will do the odd vlog or update to keep you posted:).

If you still have the discs, all you have to do is slide them into your Xbox One to begin playing. Otherwise, you can download digital copies of most of the backward compatible games from the Xbox Store for around $10 a piece.

This is the full list of original Xbox games that will be playable on the Xbox One as of tomorrow:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
• Ninja Gaiden Black
• Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge
• Fuzion Frenzy
• Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
• Psychonauts
• Dead to Rights
• Black
• Grabbed by the Ghoulies
• Sid Meier’s Pirates!
• Red Faction II
• BloodRayne 2
• The King of Fighters Neowave

Online multiplayer is no longer supported for any OG Xbox games as the servers were shuttered years ago, but IGN reports that you the games still support System Link multiplayer. In fact, the reporter says that he was able to play a 4-player match of Crimson Skies with four other players using an original Xbox, an Xbox One S, an Xbox One X and a standard Xbox One. It’s not quite online multiplayer, but it’s better than nothing.

While Microsoft hasn’t ruled out backward compatibility support to more Xbox games in the future, licensing issues and expired deals will make it difficult for some games and impossible for many others. So for this round, Microsoft just focused on bringing a “curated list of key games” to the Xbox One.

Speaking to us recently, Weisman talked about seeing his game up on screen at E3. “I got a warm heart by the reaction that got, both in the auditorium and online,” Weisman says. “It was nice to see that people still think fondly of that game and that property.”Weisman left Microsoft in 2002, over the years setting up a number of studios.

Currently, he’s the CEO of Harebrained Schemes, a studio hard at work converting BattleTech, the board game he created in the ‘80s (and the series that spawned MechWarrior) into a turn-based strategy game on PC.Despite leaving Microsoft, Weisman is still in contact with the people he knows there. Though the Crimson Skies reveal was a surprise to him. He says he didn’t have anything to do with the backwards compatibility announcement during Microsoft’s E3 conference – “except that I’m always over there championing the IP.”It may have been 14 years since the last Crimson Skies game, but Weisman revealed that he’s “been in discussion with Microsoft for a long time for Harebrained to have some ability to work with the IP.

We’ve not succeeded in that yet but I remain ever hopeful.”. Weisman has two plans for the series if he could get his hands on it again and says that “in an ideal world we’d be able to do both.” He was lead designer on the original PC game and creative director of Microsoft Games when the Xbox game was made, so naturally the third person flight sim-style of Crimson Skies is close to his heart – “Our goal with the PC game was that we wanted it to feel more like a plane, I think the Xbox took that one step further and more arcade-y. I’d love to do another flight sim,” he says.However, before it was on PC, Crimson Skies was a board game. And, like Weisman is doing with BattleTech, he can see Crimson Skies coming back as a turn-based strategy game. “I’d also love to do a step back to the strategy a little bit,” Weisman says, “where now you’ve got a fleet of planes and a zep and do more of a strategy tactical game. Where you’re a pirate doing the Zeppelin combat in a larger fashion. I’d love to do that game, too, one day.“I may not be able to do either but we can dream.”.
