Support NeoGAF

[TheUnsunghero26]

there is soooome work involved. Several BC games go through a ton of optimization

I thought this work was all on MS and not the publisher?

Yeah, it's all Microsoft. There was a Major Nelson Podcast where he talks to the head of BC, worth a listen. He talks about how they're constantly updating the emulator, which then allows them to update games like Halo Reach to fix performance.

That's what I thought too. I was under the impression all the publisher had to do was give the thumbs up and Microsoft would take over from there.

LOL - since this thread you started about PS4 goes against what you are implying in this thread.....then yeah, you are the epitome of shitposting and fanboy warring:

Oh man.

I love GAF.

Wow, some people is just sad.

This is like the gaming side of "Crooked Hilary", but when it's PS4, it's "smart business"

figures.

Good grief 😆

Yeah, go ahead & be against me. All of you are just proving my point.

 

[Inuhanyou]

As they should, its a great feature.

Not that i would buy a console specifically for that, but its great to have so you don't have to start all over in your library if you are not planning on keeping your previous gen console

 

[icespide]

MS is doing all the packaging and emulation work. I haven't heard anything about the publishers having to do anything other than approve.

sure that makes sense. Honestly your original post I wasn't aware you meant exclusively no work on the developer. I thought you just meant no work in general.

No worries!

 

[see5harp]

100% of 50% are not playing new games. very worrying

Sad.

 

[Chris1]

That's what I thought too. I was under the impression all the publisher had to do was give the thumbs up and Microsoft would take over from there.

There was a Deus EX developer on here that confirmed Microsoft did all the work when they got multi disc games working.

All the developer probably has to do is make sure licensing is in tact and give the thumbs up. But pretty much all of the hard work should be MS.

 

[Nategc20]

nearly 50% try it once and never bother again.

highly, highly doubt this.

Bro, just take the L. It's over.

There was no point. All I did was worded what I said wrong, & it's like everyone is out to get me for it for no damn reason. It's ridiculous & it's stupid.

[likedamaster]

It's the Russians guys, they hacked the thread!



On topic: BC is being utilized, that's a good thing.

 

[Lebron]

All of you are just proving my point.

That they should call them "remastered", "collections", or "definitive editions" instead, making it the system to play "most old & new games on"?

 

[Asriel]

There is absolutely nothing negative about the BC of the XBOX one. NOTHING.

Holy cow at some of these posts...

It's seriously childish. Love BC compatibility. Love playing the Mass Effect trilogy all over again on the One!

 

[Harmondale]

Well, when your flagship holiday title is Dead Rising 4... no wonder.

Hehe ouch

Fucking rekt. Great find. Having an opinion on things is fine and dandy, but when you spin it positive for the system of your choice, then spin it negative for the system that isn't your choice, then that's when you need to be called out on it.

I think BC is amazing. Even better for people that already own the game and can just pop it in and download. It's really hard for people to spin it negatively, but I see that some are spinning it like BC is the ONLY thing people are playing on XBO.

Sigh.

 

[KillerMan91]

Cool feature that I probably would use if I bought an Xbox One. Regarding of Sony PS3 BC is pretty much impossible (Architecture of PS3 is kinda clusterfuck) but there is no excuse for lack of PS2 and PS1 BC. Especially PS1. I mean PS4 is only gaming device that Sony has released that doesn't play PS1 games. PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and Vita all play PS1 games....

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I refuse to play Mass Effect on Xbox One until Shin-Ra has done a full analysis of its performance

 

[Needlecrash]

Backwards Compatibility is one of the main reasons why I'm getting an Xbox One soon. I just learned about the program a little but more and now I can continue Bayonetta, Neo Geo Battle Coliseum, Lost Odyssey and others, even now that cloud saves will continue my progress. Kudos to Microsoft for stepping up to do this.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

A great feature being utilized by a large percentage. That's good, right? Even if it's XB1, right? Right!?

I've been there and said something stupid many times, just exit the thread and never revisit it. Its what I do

[rapid32.5]

I'm more impressed with DLC being also compatible, BC sold me on XBO about 60%.

 

[Rellik]

15 million people are playing bc games right now?

Receipts.

Well I'll be included in that 50% and I don't even own an Xbox One anymore.

BC was definitely a great feature.

 

[Van Bur3n]

I remember the day RDR 2 was officially announced and I immediately went to go play RDR multiplayer on Xbone BC. People still playing and the multiplayer wasn't unplayable for once. One of the best days I've had playing that game. Recording tons of funny shenanigans.

A great feature I'm happy for.

 

[icespide]

when statham seems like a rational normal person compared to you, it's time to stop

 

[joecanada]

huh, I'm not sure that's a really good number or not? Like are the games ever free or do you pay for them all? Like how many people downloaded a game and then played for 10 minutes? (me with GTA san andreas on ps4).

not sure if its a good feature to actually add on or not, I had a OG ps3 but didn't use the BC, I think I am in favour of it with no extra cost for the console itself. of course if its free great.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Yep it's great and as I said earlier it's appreciated

I just don't want it to be the system's defining offering. I would like some news from them about new games.

 

[flkraven]

A decent % of Gaffers are in here shit posting. Says more about the state of gaming, no?

You & the rest that was bashing me should stop too.

I'd do a YT search. I know DF did one but did not revisit it after there was an update? There might be more analysis for non DF-types too.

 

[Elios83]

''Playing'' is a big word considering in this figure they're obviously counting people who have simply tried to run some of their old games for 10 minutes just to see how it works.

 

[Alx]

50% isn't that surprising actually, isn't that close to the ratio of Gold subscribers ? Considering we get two free 360 BC games each month, it would be silly not to try it at least once.

 

[Synth]

Nobody's ever just "out to get" you. None of us are important enough for that. People take issue with what you posted, because it was honestly a pretty silly thing to state. Especially if you're calling it "a problem" one the one hand, whilst championing ports of old games when it applies to a different console manufacturer. Rather than get all defensive, acting like the world is out to get you unfairly, just take on board how the apparent hypocrisy cause the current situation so it can be avoided in the future. Sometimes we're unaware of how biased some of our views are until someone else (or in this case numerous people) point it out to us. They're not wrong for doing so, and it's good to take that kind of feedback on board.

You get two 360 games a month with Games With Gold. Otherwise it's all the games you already own, digital and physical.

What's a nier?

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

BC is a nice feature and one of the reasons that I bought an XB1.
I still play Mass Effect 3 (MP) and Saints Row 4 semi-regularly with it.

It's a video game.

Does this include anyone that played Rare Replay?
Because... *crickets*

I don't understand what this is even implying.

 

[CrispyBoar]

Ok, I will back off as either you are a more subtle troll than I realized or you just have some serious issues.

I'm serious, dude. I will do it.

Keep pushing my buttons.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

Oh, then yeah, not playing it and never heard of it. PS4 only I take it?
