As we noted yesterday, Microsoft released an update to its Xbox 360, which features downloadable Xbox games called the Xbox Originals. Sounds cool, right? Unfortunately, there are problems.
Microsoft outlined a series of known issues with the Xbox Originals. The company pointed out specific problems for Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, Fable, Fuzion Frenzy, Halo and Psychonauts.
The problems range from the somewhat mild–Halo has some frame rate drops, to the more severe–Fable has audio static, minor texture issues and hang ups after removing tattoos.
The rest of the glictches and bugs are detailed below:
"There are some known issues with Xbox Originals. With all game titles, publisher logos at the start of a game can be choppy on first play when caching. Also, any additional content within a game (such as a demo or trailer) is not supported by Xbox Originals titles and selecting those options may result in crashing the game (requiring a restart of the console).
There are also some issues unique to specific game titles, as follows:
Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge: There is some minor flickering at the top of the screen that happens very rarely. The "Press A to Continue" 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)"
