Players can customize graphics settings, including up to 4x resolution upscaling, VSync support, Fullscreen and Windowed display modes, anisotropic filtering, enhanced anti-aliasing, and more. These games also include customizable language and audio settings.

Based on the language of this being an early release, I'm assuming there are more titles in the works.

$10 a piece also seems like a reasonable price, I'd probably pirate them anyway but for paying customers that seems good.

Not trying to be whatever here, but backwards compatibility actually would mean I could take my old Xbox and 360 games, put them in my PC's DVD/Blu-Ray player, and they'd load/play without issue.

This is actually just MS reselling old games it sounds like. Unless I missed the part where I can put in my old Halo 1, 2, 3 discs and they'll run on my modern PC. If that's actually the case then I will give MS a solid "good job" otherwise it's a bit "Well... thanks?"

Yeah I thought it was being able to use the old media until saw the $10 per game part. Just sounds like they did some remaster and are selling them again.

Which if gets us more crimson skies games would be amazing but doubt that would happen
