Digital Foundry: Morrowind: Xbox One X vs OG Xbox: 16x Resolution + Massive Performance Boost
- Thread starter Theorry
- Start date
Hard to believe it's the same game I watched a friend stutter his way through for a couple hours back on the original console.
Nobody seems to care about Mercenaries. Can't find a single video about it (X1X footage) on youtube.
Don't have an Xbox but loved morrowind on the og. Microsoft are hitting home runs and 6's with providing backwards compatibility. It's great to see
That's damn impressive. I have the OG game on the Xbox. This is tempting. Just wish it wasn't rendering a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Way way way more freedom with its systems, and way way way less handholding for quests.
Combat is Elder Scrolls combat, it's never been good.
OP
OP
ALL OG Xbox games that become backward compatible are enhanced and receive an increase of 4x resolution on Xbox One/One S and 16x resolution on Xbox One X.
While the visuals are outdated, the atmosphere holds up to modern standards.
And if you have a PC, you can just use the Overhaul mod.
It's an awesome game, you definitely should give it a try someday. Maybe Microsoft will start to do more sales for BC games now that they're doing a harder push with them.
Yes, Morrowind is now BC on the Xbox One. You can buy it digitally via the Xbox website or on the Xbox console. You can also use a physical disc if you have one.
Disc (either the standard or GOTY edition) or $15 USD purchase from the Microsoft Store.
It's an OG Xbox game that Microsoft is getting to run better without touching the base code, not a remake/remaster from Bethesda.
You can buy it digitally, but if you have a physical copy, you can insert it into the console and it'll start to download the game but you'll still need the disc in to play as a license check.
A lot of textures on the ground are better with the patch, you can even see it in the video several times. That could have been mentioned instead too instead of only the negative part but otherwise a fantastic video again.
Yeah that's kinda what I figured
Thanks
I kinda wanna try it outta curiosity, but i'm not sure i'm in the mood for ES combat. Maybe if I rolled an archer it would be tolerable
Any news on Jedi academy? Aka the best game of the bunch. Would try out morrowind. I gotta find a copy of it.
When he started talking about performance degradation over long playtimes I had flashbacks to obsessively closing doors.
Indeed. It was a Celeron at half the speed of Jaguar.
This video is great. I dumped so many hours into Morrowind on Xbox. May have to revisit.
Close the doors. Don't take objects out in the open. Don't leave objects in the open. Find your favorite perma-corpse for storage.
I thought performance was always bad in Balmora. To the point it was a running joke.
Yeah it's been too long since I played on the original Xbox to remember, and on the PC I didn't have a problem since I played it later on with a more powerful system.
I wonder what it is about that particular area, and what's unoptomized.
Because if Vivec City wasn't that much of a hog, Balmora shouldn't either.
Back when it released I dreamed of having a PC that could achieve a good framerate in Balmora. I'm not surprised at all that even an X1X doesn't achieve a locked 60 there.
Sad I gave away all my original xbox games years ago but thankfully I can purchase them again on the store.
Archer or mage are the only way Elder Scrolls combat is good, everything else has always just been passable.
Soon buddy, next tuesday we all boarding the Mercs hype train.
