More on Xbox Originals @ Gaming Target

Written by John Scalzo on November 14, 2007

News: Three new games revealed and 'known issues' with some of the games.

A new page on Xbox.com dealing with the Xbox Originals has revealed some further details about the program when it launches December 4th. The page has also listed the full launch lineup for the program including three new titles: Fuzion Frenzy, Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex and Burnout 3: Takedown.

First things first, it appears all of the Xbox Originals games will be emulated disc images that will be unchanged from their original state. So this means no online play for any game that didn't have it and no Achievements.

Also, any bonus content in a game (such as demos or trailers) will be disabled and selecting those options might cause the game to crash. Microsoft has also listed other "known issues" for several of the Xbox Originals:

Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge: There is some minor flickering at the top of the screen that happens very rarely. The УPress A to ContinueФ message is missing when the host player leaves a multiplayer game. Additional content within the game (such as demos & trailers) are not supported and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console)

Fable: There are some random bursts of audio static and some minor texture issues and a short hang up when removing tattoos. Additional content within the game (such as demos & trailers) are not supported and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console)

Fuzion Frenzy: There are some minor frame rate issues. Additional content within the game (such as demos & trailers) are not supported and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console)

Halo: There are some very mild frame rate drops.

Psychonauts: HDMI 720p is not supported for PAL users. Running the game in 720p over HDMI will result in the game locking up for PAL users. If you are using HDMI output, set the resolution to 1080i or 1080p (anything but 720p)

We'll have more on the Xbox Originals program soon.
