Very awesome. Some great OG titles.
Although I wish they could add enhancements for them like they do with 360 games. Specifically, moving the fog distance out in Mercenaries and Morrowind would help both those games a lot.
Also, I wonder if the GOTY version of Morrowind is included. It was a completely separate game disc since DLC wasn't a major thing back then. I have both verions, but it would be nice to have access to Bloodmoon again.
Breakdown is probably OG's best "hidden gem".

RDR in 4K far surpassed my expectations here
#113
even downsampled 1080p looking great here
#212
really shocked at this technique they are doing here with the X1X. Code hasn't changed. It's quite a marvel
wow. in motion
lol
#262
god damn, okay time to install it gotta see this on LG B7.
update: wow that's extremely impressive. really shocked at the clarity hear and the texture work. The 4K and the 16xAF really putting in the work here to bring out the art.

Shame RDR never hit the PC. It was begging for a higher resolution.

Omg i've got to get a copy of orta and conker now! I bet they look better than a ton of games this gen on the X.
Now just do jet set future, otogi and outrun and i'm good

This screenshot is from RDR 2.
Graphically RDR from 2010 on the Xbox One X reminds me of Witcher III which does not speak that well for Witcher III as a 2015 game. RDRs wide vegetation range and the high density of vegetation was very impressive for a console game of that time.
I found the single player much better than the one of GTA V.

fairly positive this would be an easier lift than what they've had to accomplish with making 360 X1X Enhanced variants.
With the way MS operates, and having BC as part of their contracts go forward, they do encourage developers to use dynamic resolution for particularly to address your scenario.
which screen shot? I'm pretty sure I only linked the RDR ones. There was only 1 photo that was RDR2 in that entire thread, and it had white horses

I wonder if any of the OG titles that included some form of AA (Shenmue2, Bloodwake, PGR2, perhaps a couple more) will ever hit XBO/XBX backwards compatibility. And, if so, if there will be any visual irregularities from re-rendering those games at much higher resolutions. Rights shouldn't be an issue with Shenmue 2. Microsoft published the game and they already had BC rights once on the 360. That emulated version stunk, though. Missing AA and broken features. I think AA was also turned off in the 360 emulation of PGR2.
Is there any reason to think that Original Xbox antialiasing functionality is incompatible with whatever Microsoft is doing to render these games at higher resolutions on XBO?
