Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it

nekkid

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
yeah and you can remember me as Godzhand~ im a big deal on Saints Row


what you know about that?!!




the gang servers are offline not the multiplayer



---------------------------------------------------



the gang servers are offline because Activision in 2008 bought a company called Demonware that had a partnership with THQ and created a unique
clan leaderboard system for Saints Row


you could make your own gang name


send invitations to anyone on your friendslist by viewing their gamercard

and have private gang lobbies that no other gang could join


when you searched for a match you were put against other gangs to compete over the leaderboard..

replacing the standard gang names from the storyline, your gang name and the other gang would show up in the scoreboard




as said Activision bought out the company that made the code to the gang servers, and with THQ falling apart at that time the gang servers went down and never to come back up....it was a sad day in Stilwater

The syntax in this post corrupted the hard drive in my brain.

I was watching the AVGN video of Sonic 06.
Do you think Sega would ever greenlight that game or they rather have it burried forever?
Probably load times would be heavily improved on Scorpio.


It's not really the length of the loads, but the fact you have to pass through multiple load screens in certain scenarios over a less than a minute of gameplay.
I mean the load times are pretty short on PS3, still a shit game.

Godzhand RETURNS to Saints Row

Big deal huh.

No one cares. This thread is annoying enough when people post 1000 box arts of games they want.

Amazingly we've now made it more annoying as someone feels the need to vindicate their love of SR1 in such a madcap way they're quite possibly the new honour and shame meme.

You love SR1, and are a big deal, great, that's nice. Go post in the SR1 OT or in the Godhandz OT or whatever. SR1 currently isn't BC, and you're also not BC.

Your right I really should stop...I had no idea my love for SR1 would create such controversy here...that was by no means what I signed up here for....My bad neogaf ill be good

Saints Row will probably never go backwards compatible anyway... atleast I try for my community, ill be going silent for a while ~Godzhand

Wonder what the chances are of getting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron?

Very niche title, but its oozes style. Would hate to see it left behind.
 
Even though a got a little bored of it and didnt finish, I'd love to see Kingdoms of Amalur on Backwards Compat, but theres probably little chance of that happening due to the fuckery.

And also Dragons Dogma would be nice to see.

Bad Company 1 - how I miss that game, wish they brought that to backwards compatibility instead of BF3 and BC2...

I've said it before, but at this point I would like to see the remastered PC version of Dragon's Dogma ported over for Scorpio. I hate I missed this game on the 360. Worried it will feel dated playing the BC version though.

Remember it took over a year for the PC version of RE4 to come to consoles. So I think the Dragons Dogma port is in the same water. I'd be surprised if it doesn't get announced this year.

OK, serious question. Regarding the OT title "No one uses it". Why is this the OT title?

Because it clearly isn't true.

Looking at the online numbers for CoD BOPS 2 for example:

c9vfkhmxoaanoioyfs36.jpg


Or NeoGAF itself, this thread for example is the fourth most replied thread and the third most viewed thread in the NeoGAF gaming community:

Maybe, I'm out of loop or it is a joke I don't get. But I would like to get it, I think I missed something. Maybe someone can explain this to me? Thanks. :)

"Who still wants to play old games. People buy new consoles to play new games!!!" Post like that are the reason ;)

It's a joke, it's being used by many as you've shown in your post. A lot of PS4 owners would turn up in the early backwards compatible threads when it was first announced and proclaim nobody cared, needed or would use it. I guess they're eating salty PS3 chips now, playing Bayonetta with endless framedrops.

Did Dark Sours ever get updated? I see that Mass Effect improved quite a bit!

There were some patches but DF is still not delivering the promised video about BC on Xbox One -_-
Subscribe to vgtech and nxgamer, too. Especially vgtech often tests BC games.
That said, I hope DF, vgtech and/or nxgamer do tests when Scorpio launches - I wonder how much that improves BC even more in demanding games.

Maybe the thread title should be changed to "Everyone Wanted It, Only143,750 People Using It."

The game was on Games on Demand for a short time but removed due to Sega wanting to improve the brand. Seriously.

As for load times, Sonic 06 doesn't improve when installed on a 360 so I doubt BC would help it at all.

it's a joke, but also note that the 143K played BLOPS2 might also just still be on X360.

So do all BC games perform better or basically the same as on 360? There's no random issues like with the OG Xbox BC?

Looking forward to it when I eventually get an X1.

I majority of my library in BC now, I have a ton of titles, and I don't think I've ever had any issues. Some games like CoD run night and day better in places. Basically, it's really really well implemented.

I don't think I've seen a DF comparison video where it doesn't run better on X1.

I'd say the majority are the same or better but some have issues.

I think Deus Ex: Human Revolution has some framerate issues which might be related to the CPU issues but these may have been updated since.

Halo Reach had issues at launch but it's since been updated.

I think Gears of War Judgement might have issues too but could now be updated.

Alan Wake also seemed a lot darker on the Xbox One.

Like others said, it's a joke dating back when the consoles were first announced. "No one cares about BC" "everyone says they want BC but won't actually use it" etc

Also, despite that, is it really a big deal? I mean we are at 346 pages, games have seen a resurgence of players, Microsoft even made two previous physical only games have digital versions that could be sold, etc. It should be kinda obvious it's a joke by now :p

Have fun with it and enjoy the discussion and speculation here :)

LOL

Yeah, the resurgence of a 5 year old game has nothing to do with BC that came out at the same time of the said resurgence.

Come on my Chitown brother...
