Gamesindustry.biz is reporting that the next Xbox will not play original Xbox games like the PS2 plays PS games.

| Speculation about the backwards compatibility functionality has been rife since it emerged that Xbox 2 - codenamed Xenon - will have radically different hardware to the original system, with a non-x86 processor, no hard drive and an ATI, rather than NVIDIA, graphics chipset, all of which would make running Xbox titles on the platform very difficult. |
You can check out the full article here. So it looks like we will not be playing UC or UC2 on the next Xbox. I hope something changes by the time the system begins production and they include this feature. I sometimes like to play older games and reminisce about the good times. |

Well, I'd like to think that the change in graphics chipsets wouldn't matter... but why would XB2 not have a HDD?
I was looking forward to it, actually... gettin an XB2 and playing both it and XB games... now I'm not so sure. I never spent (nor am I going to, I don't think) the money for an Xbox, since I already had a GCN and PS2.
Hmmm.... |
