Support NeoGAF

dammit they're going to make me buy an xbox one if BC titles are upgraded even more

civ rev in my veins

 

[tiredheadcrab]

Pretty sure Phil hates this game.

I wonder what they can change.

 

[Zeta Oni]

I wondered if hey might have sort sort of tunnelling interface for Xbox BC games so you can play them online. They have gone out of their way to make Lan play work, so that would be a logical step that would be pretty cool.

I really hope your right.

 

[Living the Dream]

Phantasy Star Online 😁

 

[BouncyFrag]

Mod support for Morrowind.

 

[Falchion]

Better 360 emulation would be an awesome feature of the X.

 

[scitek]

The Xbox One will read OG Xbox discs, and/or BC titles can be played on PC.


Or just rendering in higher resolutions.

 

[dancrane212]

I think it's online features

I figure it has to be something visual if the feature is something exclusive to the X over the standard model.

 

[LowSignal]

Halo 3 water now flows out of our consoles into our mouths?!

Even better Xbox One X spews Mountain Dew's Baja Blast!

 

[FyreWulff]

My guess

Virtual online LAN

 

[KeyboardThug]

My guess is they are bringing back up the original xbox live servers hosted on azure and then integrating them with current xbox live servers for matchmaking, freinds list, ect.

That sounds like an engineering nightmare, and I want it so bad.

Please. I need Halo 2 matchmaking.

Eww no. Mod boxes will make a triumphant return.

 

[FyreWulff]

The catch to this is you'd also need to spin up all the middle servers to make a lot of games actually work again. Like Halo 2 and splinter cell

 

[KeyboardThug]

Eww no. Mod boxes will make a triumphant return.

It would only be available from the xbox one for xbox one X.

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

If it had something to do with live/multiplayer, why would he be saying it's for "X specifically"?

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

oh! Oh! I know what he's hinting at oh!

SWAT 4 LYF

 

[Windu]

Can't wait for Gaf to hype up this tease and then be let down.

 

[KeyboardThug]

Wern't both of those games p2p??? Did they even have backend servers for matchmaking/hosting?

 

[Collateral22]

60fps Reach would be the dream. Probably not possible without a remaster though.

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

People might have missed this from the BC thread.

Hmm... Deus Ex: Human Revolution just got an update.

It's tagged with "Scorpio" now. o_0

 

[dancrane212]

People might have missed this from the BC thread.

Interesting. How are folk able to check those tags?

 

[ToxicPhantom]

Team Xbox just keeps getting better and better.

 

[kc44135]

Xbox/Xbox 360 games running at 1080p/4K would tempt me to buy an X1X, not gonna lie.

 

[J_Viper]

It would possibly sell me on buying one of these despite already having the Pro.

Same here

Enhanced BC and the UHD player are the only things selling me on this

 

[Truant]

If Durante could intercept the draw calls between the Dark Souls renderer and Directx 9 to increase rendering resolution without any direct code access, then I'm sure Microsoft could do the same thing for their emulator.

Spoiler

Please be right, please be right, please be right.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Halo 3 water physics used for every backwards compatible game, personally developed by Stinkles.

 

[Magwik]

We need to decipher the Stinkles

 

[MightyHedgehog]

The YT video of Fusion Frenzy from a week or two back looks better than upscaled 480p, so it's gotta be higher native resolution support that he's hinting at. I already expect better performance on OG Xbox BC stuff, but I'd love a rebuilt form of OG Live support for games that would really benefit from it.

 

[Leyasu]

I might finally get to play the old republic games

 

[2blackcats]

Halo 3 water physics used for every backwards compatible game, personally developed by Stinkles.

Lol. I used to love those old Bungie weekly updates (if that's what you're referring to. Pre Halo 3 days.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Gamers are liquid cooled.

Can confirm.

Even better Xbox One X spews Mountain Dew's Baja Blast!

Give me that Diet Code Red in ice cold cans.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Phantasy Star Online 😁

Don't you dare tease me with those words.

 

[tbm24]

The idea of popping in mm SSX3 disc again after all this time sounds amazing. Also my grabbed by the ghoulies....I liked it quite a bit..

Now I just need Xbox controller s to be happy.

 

[FyreWulff]

Playlist servers.

Splinter Cell relied on Ubisoft servers to give you the actual lobby list.

 

[dancrane212]

OK, so holding the bumpers and pushing the back button shows you the tags for apps on XB1 software.

I don't have the update to download X patches yet but I'm curious to go though my games once I do.

 

[EmiPrime]

Better 360 emulation would be an awesome feature of the X.

That's already confirmed.

 

[Montresor]

Best feature I can think of:

For OG Xbox emulation, they’ve built in, for free, achievements, without requiring any dev to re-code the game. Don’t know if that’s possible but that would be amazing.

 

[Rellik]

4k RDR

Please phil

RDR would be a great game to show off whatever they have planned since there's no PC version.

 

[EmiPrime]

That wouldn't be X exclusive.

My guess is that OG Xbox and 360 games will render at higher resolutions on the X rather than be upscaled as well as the confirmed 16x AF.

 

[Tagyhag]

I just want Kingdom Under Fire.

Please ;-;

 

[Xcell Miguel]

Interesting. How are folk able to check those tags?

In the Games and Apps app, highlight a game, hold LB + RB and press "View" (old Back button), it will open a popup with some informations about the game's package.

Some other games were updated recently : Gears of War, Halo Wars, ...
They now show "Xbox-Scorpio" along with "Xbox-Durango" (original Xbox One code name).

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Loved this game.

 

[That1BlackGuy]

I just want Kingdom Under Fire.

Please ;-;

We can dream.

 

[Zurick]

Laugh all you want, but a GAF member turned down sex to play this at launch!

Scary thing is. I remember this happening again more recently.

 

[Vespa]

That wouldn't be X exclusive.

My guess is that OG Xbox and 360 games will render at higher resolutions on the X rather than be upscaled as well as the confirmed 16x AF.

Forgot about 16x AF for 360 BC. If the X renders those two libraries at higher res then that's going to be awesome, I wasn't considering upgrading from the S but I would if it rendered higher for BC.

I take it you're in the alpha ring? All I see in my dash (beta branch) is an X1XE value set to false.

Yes I'm in the alpha ring, also, I checked the "download 4K assets" option, but I don't know if it affects backward compatibility title (i.e. : download Scorpio specific code, I know there's no 4K assets for BC games).
