How good forward planning and the ‘Heutchy Method’ allow Microsoft to upscale their classic Xbox games in 4K.
Father Time hates technology. Whereas great books and paintings can have everlasting appeal, the passing years often ravage tech-driven industries. Unless you’re dealing with Jurassic Park, almost any ‘90s blockbuster will now singe your eyes with cringe thanks to shoddy CGI. Purists might disagree, but those 15-year-old games that looked amazing on your tiny 14-inch CRT TV now run at such low resolutions they’re virtually unplayable. That’s why backwards compatibility on Xbox One – and Xbox One X, in particular – is such a big deal. Since Microsoft cracked the emulation tech in 2015, it’s committed to making its current consoles hubs for celebrating Xbox’s rich history.
