Has there been anything new about OG Xbox titles coming to Xbox One? I haven't heard anything since E3.

There's no reason to want the Scorpio Edition. If you can happen to get it then cool, but you're not missing anything by not having it.

The new UI update today is nice I guess, but where is the new Avatar and OG Xbox update? I don't get why Microsoft has been so quiet about these two updates since E3.

My list of games which haven't been mentioned yet

Gunvalkyrie

Metal Wolf Chaos

Just like Panzer Dragoon Orta, these will never happen but god it would be so amazing if it did.

Good thing I held off on Gears of War 4 until the X comes out, these enhancements sound awesome.

Gears of War 3 multiplayer to this day is still vastly superior so it doesn't matter.

Kinda hyped to play Panzer Dragoon Orta on Xbox One. Any idea when it'll go live today? Usually digital games are available for download pretty early in the morning on Xbox Live, but that still isn't the case for the new batch of backwards compatible titles.

Im buying Panzer Dragoon even though ill likely not play it since theres no way i have the time and patience to unlock everything again but i can pretend I will.

After you finish the campaign, there is a bonus level you can do that resets over and over again. Leave this running and all content will unlock after 20 hours of gameplay.

I know, but after beating the campaign like 30 times already in my life Ill probably not even finish that.

Nah, Ill beat it again.

I'm going to beat it again. I'm excited to do all of this over again. I'll have to completely relearn the game again though.

Also, i'm sure this is a given, but Knights of the Old Republic II (this is coming later), and Morrowind should not be played on the Xbox. These are super buggy versions of those games. Don't get Pirates! on Xbox either, it's a downscaled port of the PC version and is missing features. Jade Empire has a much better remastered version on Steam.

Bought Blinx, Ninja Gaiden, and Crimson Skies today as well. These are all games I never played on original Xbox.

Since classic Xbox games are the only thing that separate the Xbox One from all of the other consoles, it might as well be.

I've heard slightly rumors of a new PlayStation announcement for E3. I want to say that is super unlikely but I said the same thing about the PS4 Pro.

If Sony does a PS5 next year like everyone expects them to Microsoft will undoubtedly do a new console. What is the motivational factor behind buying the Xbonx if it's not the most powerful console anymore.

That was the case with the regular PS4, and the Pro still happened.

What is �the best looking game� out now? Is it even on Xbox one x? Lol

In all seriousness, God of War, and Horizon Zero Dawn. At least on consoles. I don't really know what could be the best looking games on PC. Forza 7, Grand Theft Auto V, and Destiny 2? On Xbox One, it's for sure Forza 7 in my opinion.

I've decided that I want to get Red Dead Redemption 2 for Xbox One instead of PS4. Only because I like my Xbox Live screen name on more then my PSN name and Sony still doesn't allow name changes.

The last time any reliable numbers were revealed put the Xbox One at 29 million units sold and that was back in 2016.

It's crazy to think about that every few years there is a new game for Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo. These are ultra niche games that only a handful of people ever buy, but it does exist.

Seems EHHHHHHHHHH, although for folks that have never played a Horizon game, Forza Horizon 2 still holds up pretty well.

loving For Honor is extremely hype. I am excited about that even though I already have the game on PC.

The Master Chief collection is the remaster of Halo 1 & Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo 4.
