Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

I was hoping for some more graphically demanding games to be available next to see how the emulation holds up :/

Should this really matter technically?

Even older titels use the CPU and GPU at 100% (would be stupid otherwise). They just don´t do it "as intelligent" as modern titles which therefore get better graphics.
 
EvB did you get the info about the larger list from some store thing or somewhere else? I have a feeling we only get the ones that have pins ready for now.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect anything beyond the pinned ones just yet. I can't apply the same method for getting the information to everything, so that list is basically being super optimistic and making lots of assumptions.
File it right under rumour right now for anything that doesn't have a Pin.

A new dash update appeared to me this morning and it's been over s month since the first update.... I think we could see some new stuff very shortly

Hehe not at all, I just like a bit of sleuthing

But again to be really clear, there are only those 4 games that I 100% know of.
The big list is basically guessing , as it stands I may never get confirmation of others until the are actually announced. Finding this out relies on little clues being left about a particular title and quite often there are none to find.

God I hope the fable trilogy comes soon

I think fable two is my is the most likely titles to appear first I have also seen fable anniversary on my travels. It's also an unreal Engine game which means it's likely to be emulated soon. However, as it was a late generational title , that increases the likelihood it's using unique tips and tricks unique to the 360 and could perhaps make it harder to emulate?

Hmmm, also Fable Anniversary as had serious framerate issues without patches. Fable 2 was easily the most technically competent in regards to graphics and framerate of all the Fable Release.

Anyone have an issue running games?

Any game I run prompts to download a profile. If I ignore it or try to download it fails. Then I can't save the game.

What am I doing wrong?

Which one is that?


Also did not expect Tron Evolution considering its a movie tie in game thats pretty awful. Thought those games do be dead in the water shortly after release.

A Brazilian rating site picked up a game called TRON: Escape for PC and consoles yesterday. BC could be coming to Evolution to promote that or maybe be a pre-order bonus.

Shame I own RDR on PS3!

If it does come to Xbone, I'll probably rebuy though. Loved that game.

I wonder if Undead Nightmare will come too?
 
Well I am in the program, but I cant find anything 360 related. :\

odd, do you have a disc of one of those games you can use to see if it triggers a download? a disc game whoch is supported will ask you to download the game instead of installing it from disc.

Last month there was a section in the preview app where the BC titles showed up, it seems to be missing now.

I think maybe they'll just show up automagically under your available games now? I'm not entirely sure.

Well well well

My sources for these things have been locked up tight.
Every single 360 game I posted has disappeared too.....
