Original Xbox games will be backwards compatible on Xbox One

                     

Piling onto its supremacy as the most retro friendly gaming company at the moment, Microsoft announced intentions to starting bringing original generation Xbox games to the Xbox One during its E3 2017 press conference.

The backwards compatibility list is about to grow with fan-favorites like Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, which Xbox boss Phil Spencer threw out there as an example.

Naturally, the crowd reacted with cheers and applause at the announcement since deep down, everyone loves old video games.

The only awkward moment came from Spencer when he thought to label these as “OG Games,” obviously short for “original generation.” Even Spencer seemed to irk a little at the name when he said it, and I think that label needs to disappear as quickly as possible. How gross.

Assassin’s Creed Origins finally revealed during Microsoft’s E3 2017 show

Microsoft threw its weight behind Ubisoft during its E3 2017 presentation this year, giving a few minutes to the latest game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise. After leaking all week, Assassin’s Creed Origins is finally official, and as expected, it is taking us way back to ancient Egypt.

The series took a much-needed break over the last few years, but this latest game promises to bring the series back to the forefront of the video game world. Expect to see more at Ubisoft’s press conference later this week.
