Support NeoGAF

[Shaanyboi]

For real, that's pretty fantastic.

 

[benzy]

Amazing.

What about xbox bc 360 games, like Ninja Gaiden Black? :O

 

[Courage]

Can we buy 360 digital games on the XBO?

 

[Storm Raider]

Oh my god..

 

[DarthWalden]

This is kind of megatons.

 

[protomouse]

Yup, they earned that burn. Sony's BC solution is a gross joke.

What solution?

 

[Aureon]

This looks like a "We recompiled select games", not a "Discs work natively" thing.

 

[vcc]

Sony, please take notes. Don't want PSNow or whatever its called.

Likely a harder job as the PS3 was exotic in structure.

 

[Amentallica]

Did they said 100 games?

Yes, it's digital backwards compatibility with select titles.

 

[In Service]

So fucking excited! Wish I was in preview haha

I am in preview and I am on the ceiling.

 

[Netherscourge]

Sooooooooooo...

Does the XB1 do any sort of upscaling to 1080p for X360 games?

 

[vg260]

Wow. Was not expecting that.

Time for an external hard drive.

Slow rollout makes me cautious, as does potential licensing issues. (like Marvel stuff).

 

[Ourobolus]

Holy shit

 

[Shauni]

What is Xbox Preview? I've never heard of this service before.

 

[Gamezone]

How?

Dat Phil Spencer!

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Yup, they earned that burn. Sony's BC solution is a gross joke.

Except it's not a BC solution. Sony doesn't offer BC and I doubt they will be able to because of the completely different architectures of the PS3 and PS4.

 

[Podge293]

holy bejaysus that was a fantastic bit of news.... dunno how to react the rest is not being recorded at all

 

[vazel]

Sony, please match this! None of that laggy PS Now crap.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

100 more than 0

For sure, but I wonder why only 100, if it is supported natively now?

 

[diaspora]

"We won't charge you for the games you already own"

Hahaha, no kidding. Remasters BTFO

 

[psychotron]

Holy shit WHAT.

Discontinuation rumour of 360 makes sense now

This was my guess as to why in that thread!

 

[Ishida]

This looks like a "We recompiled select games", not a "Discs work natively" thing.

This is what I'm wondering. Did they mention discs? Because if not, then fucking meh.

 

[UnPatriot]

It's not full BC.

Going to be like OG XBOX games on 360. Not that great.

 

[harrisk954]

Holy crap! Now I may actually buy an XB1 and I am generally a Sony-only guy.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Whoa, nice! That's how it should be, not that streaming bullshit.

Hope Sony follows, even if it takes some time for they to do that. (At least for PS1 and 2 games, please?)

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Sony can't do it. Completely different architectures.

 

[Whogie]

Retail discs will work too.

Fantastic

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

It's pretty pathetic that what used to be a basic feature is now something that gets people cheering at E3. Same shit happened a few years back with Sony.

Basic feature? How many generations of consoles had backwards comp? Like 2?

 

[//DEVIL//]

This is fuckking awsome . This is seriously awsome

 

[Kandrick]

Downloads, not streaming. Holy shit...

This might push me to an Xbox in addition to my PC/PS4.

 

[Fox Mulder]

I hope it includes delisted stuff I own like outrun.

 

[jacobeid]

Spencer is so fucking based right now.

.

 

[sangreal]

Yes, it's digital backwards compatibility with select titles.

they said it is native and compatible with all titles, no work required but they need to be approved by the developer

 

[Trogdor1123]

MS hiting it out of the park today!

 

[Spring-Loaded]

 

[komorebi]

It is, every retail title works, they need approval to allow in for each digital title. If you own retail, pop the disc in and it plays.

Impressive.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Doesn't this kill all the DEATHINITIVE Edition for Xbox?

 

[Scavenger]

The biggest question is: will it be region locked?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I have to say, well played Microsoft, that is good for XBOX One users And I'm happy too if that forces Sony to do the same somehow with PS3 games

 

[Mareg]

Well, I guess I'll buy an Xbox One. Coming from someone who is a cellectioner and had ZERO interest in current gen console gaming.

I just want to vote with my money that backward compatibility is not a feature. It is a must have !

 

[bede-x]

I'm speechless. Such an amazing move Microsoft!

 

[danowat]

This is MASSIVE!!

 

[16BitNova]

Able to play online with your friends on 360! Screenshots, game clips, and streaming as well!

 

[Tenebrous]

Amazing.

 

[Steel]

Wow. That's awesome.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

It's not full BC.

Going to be like OG XBOX games on 360. Not that great.

Fuck me. Better have dragons dogma

 

[djplaeskool]

C'mon Sony, do the same

Architecture of the PS3 makes this tough.
Really, really tough.

 

[Sydle]

AMAZING.

Can't wait to get rid of my old Falcon 360.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Pretty amazing comment from a company that charges for an internet browser.

I don't think they do anymore. Gold pays for multiplayer and Games with Gold now.

 

[styl3s]

Damn wish i was in that preview program.

Super excited because i gave my xbox 360 to my niece when i bought my X1 and would love to revisit stuff like RDR.
