lots of crow served in this thread, haha
Now let's get 360 emulation on PC.
It was the number one requested feature on Xbox Feedback by far.
If anything, it goes to show Spencer is listening. Given all the port begging to PC I am surprised there hasn't been a ton of votes for bringing Xbox games to PC.

Crow being served all over the place this E3.

In all fairness, the wizard engineers delivered this. How they did it I don't know, but it seems to literally emulate the 360, as when you load a game it loads what appears to be the dashboard, and the guide is intact, along with the toast notifications.

Quickly searched whether or not I posted something stupid in here.
I didn't think native emulation would be possible. Very impressive that they pulled it off.
I still think native emulation of Ps3 on Ps4 is legit impossibe, though.
I did, but not as stupid as many other posts.

May want to wait before this applies to more than a dozen games before the bragging starts
They've already promised over 100 for the real launch so it's in the works.

Well played haha.
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. That's why you can play online with people on 360 as well.

I would expect that there will be a few hundred games by this time next year. The dozen available now are just for the preview members to test it. Why would they say that there would be "hundreds of the top titles available this fall" if they didn't know for sure that it would happen?

You will still get the clueless dissenters who are desperate to not believe. But its ok, they can remain in their corner in denial, whilst the rest of us play* 360 games on our Xbox Ones.
A current selection of 22 titles

We also know of Rainbow 6, Fallout 3 and all first party games that will be added. That seems like a pretty big indication that Ubisoft/Bethesda are on board so we should expect all (or at least most) of their games... no?

Going back and reading what I wrote last year, it's pretty great. lol
Good thing Spencer is a cool cat and has overly delivered so far in just a year.

its in preview program, not officially launched yet.
yeah, this was a good bump. A year ago, I'd probably agree with the people saying it's not likely or "wouldn't happen," to be honest. The reveal took me completely by surprise.
Here comes the downplaying...
It's not even released fully yet, it's only available for preview members. When it comes out there will be 100+ titles.

Yes, I agree. That's why I was surprised at the lack of enthusiasm shown by some people (which seemed like a lot of people to me) after MS announced it.
Even funnier because it was edited by a mod lol.

It was said in a time where Spencer was just saying everything people wanted to hear so it's not surprising to see the majority of people disagreeing with it and not believing. But, if we ignore that... sure, crow for everyone.

Oh definitely. I would only expect that certain games that can't get approved to not be, games with USB required peripherals are flat out denied for instance. Then you've got games that were made by one company that had a license and the license has changed hands since that game came out so we won't be seeing those types of games either, which usually isn't a bad thing. I think that the platform announcements made by Microsoft are their big win this year: Backward Compatibility, Game Preview and the new UI.

Or maybe it was something they were looking at/considering?

I really wanted this but figured outside of XB1 using that rumored mini-360 to run the games I figured BC was off the table. Even that hardware guy mentioning it was getting looked into though emulation seemed like something we'd never hear from again.
So happy I was wrong.
Phil Spencer said on the Bombcast it was around a year ago they were seriously looking at BC.

I have no doubts but it doesn't change the fact of what he was doing at the time.
