Xbox Won

I'm not even exaggerating. Kudos to MS on the bomb dropped. Hopefully future consoles strongly focus on building a software ecosystem like Steam has. I would still get a PS4 for myself, but I'd definitely recommend an Xbone to anyone who asks me for a recommendation.

 

[Flame Lord]

BC is one of the most over rated features by a good margin. Sony doesn't care

Isn't PSNow almost completely previous gen games, except you pay for them?

 

[The Maverick]

Damn it, even I want an Xbox now.

 

[hodgy100]

its not streaming

how do we know this? the guy on stage said "100 games will work by launch" and "thanks to the power of xbl" i'm not taking sides here, i just don't believe native emulation is possible. I'd be asking the same questions if sony were making the claims too

 

[muzzymate]

First question arises: is there a way for me to get my 360 saves from a 360 memory card to the Xbox One?

 

[murgo]

Yeah lol wow you can now play your old games. I want new ones.

Agreed. It's a great feature, but nothing that would actually get me personally to get the XO.

 

[ironcreed]

This is too huge for words.

 

[Pavaloo]

W H A T

 

[Art Vandilay]

This is a good thing but this will not affect sales at all especially now in the life span.

Pachter, is that you?

 

[eizarus]

Gaddam! How many mics did MS bring to drop today?

Sony has got one hell of an uphill battle with their conference, but tbh, I can't imagine it beating what MS has currently shown (unless The Last Guardian and FF7 Remake are released next week).

 

[Netherscourge]

I was not expecting that

This is going to cost Microsoft more money.

They have to pay people to work on each game to get them to work and show no profit from it.

If it sells more Xbox Ones, they'll profit from it.

 

[Windom Earle]

I wish N00basaur wouldn't be banned to live this day on GAF.

It is pretty cool, wanna play RDR again. Gamechanger? Nah.

 

[John Bender]

BC is always great.
Good move.

 

[Asd202]

Look at the responses in this thread. People are living for this.

If I look only at gaf Platinum games would be the most successful game company .

 

[Slayven]

cool news, but I doubt it is a system seller for the mainstream people.

 

[Lothars]

Holy shit!! I can play my XBLA games on the Bone?!!! I'm going to need a bigger HDD!

This is huge. If Sony has no bc surprise, I can see the sales swinging over towards Xbox in the future. Hopefully every publisher is on board with this.

This won't make a difference at all for sales. It's a great thing to happen but not the game changer some are saying.

 

[FinKL]

Also all of those free Games with Gold 360 titles now work on all Xbones

BOOM omfg, I'm so glad I've been downloading everything

 

[JohnnyFootball]

It's not a game changer, but it's quite a few notches above immaterial.

This is a big deal and a very good feature and really adds a nice bulletpoint to contrast their system with Sonys.

 

[cool_dude]

Damn Xbox One Won!

 

[Avinexus]

Gamechanger. I'm actually gonna get one now. I had too many 360 games I needed to finish, so I haven't got one yet.

 

[Jack Scofield]

So I can simply put my Xbox 360 game into an Xbox One and it'll start playing? This is awesome.

 

[heyf00L]

This is extremely impressive. Good work, MS.

 

[foxbeldin]

The real megaton so far.

 

[entremet]

WAIT REALLY

It's all in the same. XBLA and 360 games run on the same architecture.

I'm not sure about "ALL" though. At least yet.

They did show Super Meat Boy, though.

 

[Jotaka]

There will be a lot of people being disappointed when try find a xbox one version from their xbox360 game

 

[brainpann]

Well well-this might bethe tipping point for buying an Xbox One. GG Microsoft.

 

[DiscoDave]

This is great, even if it doesn't affect sales much it's still a great thing to add.

 

[Vanillalite]

Hope all of you Xbone owners were grabbing the free digital 360 games included in Games with Gold as dun dun dun... Those could work on the Bone now!

 

[DOWN]

I'm not sure this is huge yet. 360 BC with original Xbox died down so fast

 

[jfoul]

MS got me back with this. I can play Tales of Vesperia, and Lost Odyssey again.

 

[MCN]

OK Microsoft, you have my interest.

 

[Poona]

This is really great, but I just wish they were able to implement this at launch.

All that grumbling by people about no BC and it also would have helped people stay with the XBOX brand rather than going to Playstation.

I'm assuming it includes XBLA titles and DLC too?

 

[derwalde]

When does this feature hit?

 

[Art Vandilay]

This won't make a difference at all for sales. It's a great thing to happen but not the game changer some are saying.

Keep repeating yourself. That will make you correct.

 

[PaulLFC]

Very much looking forward to this but a bit wary of the "Publishers need to approve" bit.

There may be no work involved for them but I still expect some will block BC and instead try and get some more money through remasters.

 

[collige]

It's certainly better than nothing, but the online requirement and incomplete library are huge negatives for me. Relying on publishers to approve games you already own is incredibly dumb.

 

[inner-G]

So I can simply put my Xbox 360 game into an Xbox One and it'll start playing? This is awesome.

Not really.

It has to be one of the selected games, and then you need to download a patch like original xbox games on 360.

 

[Skyzard]

It times well with the rumour about stopping x360 support.

Just pathetic that they kept it from people at launch if it was possible.

They definitely gave the impression that it wasn't streaming.

 

[jinxthejiv]

When does this feature hit?

already out for preview members I believe.
Holiday 2015 for everyone else

 

[Tyraniboah]

Been wanting to play Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon again....Probably should give fable a go since I've never played them.

Also, I wonder if the digital library available to play with will include original xbox games...

 

[Novocaine]

Also all of those free Games with Gold 360 titles now work on all Xbones

Oh shit. I didn't even think about that. Makes a subscription much more alluring.

 

[Lucreto]

If it sells more Xbox Ones, they'll profit from it.

Not if they are selling at a loss.

 

[Bl@de]

Damn Xbox One Won!

How can they win? I mean we are getting The Last Guardian, Shenmue Remastered and FF7 Remake later on Sonys Conference ...

 

[Jotaka]

So I can simply put my Xbox 360 game into an Xbox One and it'll start playing? This is awesome.

Nops... You will ONLY be able to play it IF MS recompiled the game and make it available to DOWNLOAD ( you are good to go to download the game, install and play).... otherwise. Nops.

 

[turnbuckle]

Isn't PSNow almost completely previous gen games, except you pay for them?

Yup.

 

[Rockyrock]

Just realized I'll be able to play Gears 3 MP again. Thank the lord!

 

[Cathcart]

Xbox Won

I'm not even exaggerating.

You're not exaggerating, but you are wrong.

 

[Obscured]

Curious how it is going to work for games that have a last and current gen version.

Guess it is finally time to pick up that external drive.

 

[NeOak]

All I want to know is if i can play my Xbox 360 Japanese games that are not region free on an US Xbox One.

Otherwise, importing a Jap X1.

 

[DopeyFish]

Very much looking forward to this but a bit wary of the "Publishers need to approve" bit.

There may be no work involved for them but I still expect some will block BC and instead try and get some more money through remasters.

And then there's the issue like... THQ games
