![]() ![]() The OG Xbox is a console often derided for its “gamerbro” marketing, over-saturation of gritty shooters and sports games, and massive size. Last year, Microsoft filled another niche: backwards compatibility with the original Xbox. Enhanced performance and improved visual fidelity gives these re-releases some extra shine, and the added bonus of all compatible games being playable off of original discs just makes the deal even better. Over the years, the Xbox One has become a wondrous option for those who missed out on or simply want to keep their library of Xbox 360 multiplat staples, downloadable games, and exclusives. While both the Switch and PS4 (and even the One at launch) lacks backwards compatibility entirely, the One embraces it like no other console has. Today we talk about that, an amazing hidden gem from the original Xbox, and how awesome that game is. But there is a niche the One fills that its contemporaries skip out entirely on: backwards compatibility. The PlayStation 4 provides your home media wants as strongly as the One, with attractive exclusive features and games besides, as well as a generous “get free games when you subscribe to our online multiplayer” scheme, something the One mirrors with its Games with Gold feature. Many players have noted however, that this is not a niche that needs filling. Lacking the exceptional first party support and third party exclusives of the PlayStation 4, the Nintendo Switch, or even the long-passed Wii U, the Xbox One carves its niche out as a competent home media center and place to play your workhorse multi-platform games. ![]() The Xbox One is in an interesting place in the current games generation.
