Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

[georaldc]

Is Lost Odyssey compatible? That's one game I would love to play, never got the chance to finish it on the 360

 

[MightyHedgehog]

how do you know what the FPS rate is?

The game does regularly run at less than 30fps on X360, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to assume it runs around there on X1, which, by all accounts, seems pretty close to the same performance, if not a bit worse, currently. I hope they chose ME1 in the initial batch of titles because it was one of the first UE3 titles on X360 and any tweaks made to the emulator/interpreter benefit all subsequent UE3 titles as they'll only become more demanding while performing better in terms of framerate.

As of right now multi disk games do not work but they are rumored to work in the future.

Any word on when new titles will be added?

 

[anothertech]

Anyone know if Vanquish is in the bc list currently? If it is, going to buy tonight.

installed mass effect 1
20 fps
BibleThump

I'm all the way through the side quests and in the main story I'm just starting Ilos. It really only gets bad during intense action, just like it did on 360. It's not consistently 20 fps. But it does get really choppy when there's a lot going on.

What live arcade games are compatible? How do you download them?

That sad moment when COD is on the top of the voting list... Like seriously ... ugh.

RDR is still on top, going by votes.

I expect next week.

Is there a way to check which games I own digitally on 360?

 

[Backfoggen]

Every time this thread gets bumped I hope they finally announced the second batch.

That's what I just came in here to check on. Never saw anything saying they were going to slowly trickle out more games before it goes public but I've been hoping.

hope they add may payne 3

They said they were going to add new games this month.

I believe the difference with Mass Effect is that it runs with v-sync on XBO. So you don't get tearing, but when the frame-rate dips below 30 it goes straight down to 20. Would be great if they could figure some way of keeping v-sync and frame-rates up, but I doubt it.

No need for people to keep asking. The list is right on the Xbox.com site:

What does this mean? Just naming games for no reason?

Phil on twitter this weekend:

Preview as really us working on emulation, not the portfolio, with the way BC works it's more about getting emulation right.

We will have more games in preview but really just to help us with the emulation.

Nice to have confirmation that this is a feature that is being worked on and the voodoo magic involved doesn't prevent optimization.

That´s basically what I thought.

We will probably see 1-2 Multidisc games, some DLC additions.

And maybe games with "different" engines.

Just for them to work out all the different scenarios.

Been playing with a brand new character. Level 32 now. I'm in love all over again. I really hope they add me2 and me3 to the BC program. I didn't realize how badly I've missed this series. :3

Spoiler

And yeah it gets really choppy when there's a lot of effects on the screen... But that's exactly how it was on the 360.

They fixed an achievement in Gears 2 recently aswell, I think we'll see all gears games make it over alongside Gears 3 games with gold.

Hopefully gears 3 first, already got all achievements for gears 2 don't need to ever play again

Spoiler

they have to know how bad it is

Shadow Complex me up Microsoft

 

[wesleyshark]

From Microsoft, in their "Known Issues" section for b/c:

Mass Effect: Framerate degradations in 360 version may manifest slightly differently in Backward Compatibility version.

 

[oneida]

Dark Souls II

why

 

[ChubbleDucks]

YES, YES, YES

Indeed

They need to get the emulation right, otherwise this is all for naught.

Wonder will the 360 version of minecraft be ported over even though they have a XBONE version

 

[sangreal]

From Microsoft, in their "Known Issues" section for b/c:

That's been in the notes since day 1

 

[Chris1]

It will, it's first party. They're not gonna start backpedaling that. Minecraft is probably the only game MS don't really want to enable it for due to it being a money making machine but I think they will for the greater good.

Can you imagine the shitstorm if they came out and said "Yeah by first party we meant first party games that don't make us money any more"? If MS starts blocking games out then that's not exactly setting a good precedent for other publishers to follow. They probably won't want to do it, but kind of have to do it if they want others to follow .

 

[wesleyshark]

Just quoting it in reply to the comments above about the framerate drops.

 

[Ronnie]

From Microsoft, in their "Known Issues" section for b/c:

Does that mean it's a bug they're looking to fix or will the framerate issues still be present when BC launches?

 

[JDdelphin]

Most likely.
Even though to upgrade to the xbone version if you have the 360 version is only $5 and all your saves and stuff transfer

Isn't there already a $5 upgrade for minecraft?
I'd pay the full $15 for the huge world size alone on the Xbox one.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

I really can't wait for them to bring Gears 3 & Halo reach. I hope its this week please Microsoft i need my gears and halo :/

There is but it's a limited time offer. I think it was 1 year? then you have to pay full price. That offer should actually be ending very soon if it's even still going on.

 

[wesleyshark]

Not sure.

 

[Diablohead]

I favor performance and quality of emulation over more games to play while it's in the testing period, I still want to see mass effect get a framerate boost asap and test it out.

 

[CadetMahoney]

has digital foundry done any framerate comparisons yet?

Testing of more games will lead to what you want.
