Aye.
Skyrim has PC releases to keep it relevant, but RDR has nothing. You've never been able to natively record gameplay or take screenshots in RDR, always had to go through some other device (say an Elgato), so this is necessary.
Yea. I'm pretty certain the entire problem solved itself, and they just decided not to release it earlier, because it made more sense to let a large portion of their userbase switch to PS4.

This smells very fishy to me.
Reckon this had anything to do with Grand Theft Auto V last-gen next-gen double dipping?
If both Sony and Microsoft agreed to delay their backwards compatibility announcement then it would mean Rockstar would sell more Grand Theft Auto V on next-gen and they'd get their cut from licensing/disc printing etc.
Hmm...
except that GTAV 360 isn't on the list and theirs no telling when it will be if ever....
Is your tinfoil hat on too tight? That's a real stretch.
Well, when you put it THAT way... :-D
Oh! I have this to test!
Yep is up there for me as well, I have Bethesda games on PC anyway.
felling compeled to re buy a white xbone, consumerism getting the worst of me yet again.
now that's the question.So the real question is can we use the Xbox one's 360 emulation to run the 360's OG Xbox emulation to fire up XBMC to launch SNES emulators?
I tested Kameo, and yeah it is an x64 build from 06/15

It was always useless. Sony bought them to curb them from putting Gaikai on Samsung TVs.
Cool thanks. So they're basically mass porting 360 titles to the XB1 for free lol.

There is smoke and mirrors at work here.
Even after he announced it, he walked it back a fair bit.
If PSNow was made free, for games you own, would that be backwards compatibility? Not really.
This is access to some back catalogue games, via downloads and/or streaming.
Imo, the term 'Backwards compatibility' should be reserved for actual native support of previous gen disks.
Still, could be cool, but my initial pleasant surprise has been tamed a bit by reality.

Anyone in the UK got their firmware update yet? Can't see anything appearing here 
Was hoping to download something before the Sony conference.

Capcom doesn't have the legal right to have it put back up, and I doubt they're going to pay for the license any time soon.

Seeing as its emulation, will compatible games receive upgrades like resolution bumps and AA support?
It's a 360 VM so I think the answer is no. I think they are going for compatibility over looks -- ala VGS versus Bleem

Free PSNow would still be something completely different as you wouldn't be able to play it offline. In fact, your console is never actually running the game at all (it'd be like claiming the Vita is forward compatible with PS4 games).
It's closer to something like the Virtual Console, if you didn't need to repurchase shit. Backwards compatibility still isn't the greatest term because it has a limited selection.. but it's probably easier to explain the concept using that term rather than anything else.
Meanwhile games runs just as good as a 360 i'm good.

This seriously is the smartest move Microsoft could have pulled to help jump start sales after dumping Kinect and re-focusing back on games.
I have a stack of at least 50 360 games and I want to keep playing them. But I don't want to have a 360 constantly hooked up when I already have a PS4, Xbone, Wii U, Apple TV, etc... I'm already out of HDMI and ethernet ports (wi-fi interference is very bad in my building.)
If the BC implementation works well it's a godsend and I will make a lot more use of my Xbox One.

Did they say how Xbox Live Gold will factor into all of this?
I wonder if you can share gold like on the Xbox One.

I'm curious if DLC is possible, the only storage option is the cloud so it kinda suggests not possible at least for now.
me too. I wonder if we will be able to transfer or redownload 360 DLC. cant put DLC on cloud.

I've played since CoD2 and think that BO2 is the better game.
They know it'll be worth playing. CoD4 multiplayer on 360 is infested with hackers.

None of my XBLA games will install. They're all downloaded but keep failing to install. Any fix for this or?
How'd you even find your arcade games? Do you have to go to the website?
Other's are not you?
I haven't hooked up my Xbox 360 since I got the One

My games & apps - > Games -> all the way right, "Ready to Install" or something like that. They seem to be going up in batches. I have a couple that still aren't showing up for me, and the six I have took a while to pop up.
Not having to switch consoles to play stuff, and not having to use old controllers. The 360 games gaining access to all the new X1 OS features (streaming, screenshots, snap etc). Also, if the games work on the new console, they're less likely to shut XBL for the 360 off completely, which would essentially delist everything in my library.
I hope so. I don't have my old Kinect hooked up anymore, because I cba working out a decent way of it sharing space with the X1 Kinect. However there are 360 Kinect games that I'd still like to play from time to time (the 360 has a far stronger Kinect library).
EDIT: boooo

I wonder if 360 Kinect games will work with the new Kinect, heh.
My hype for this has diminished pretty severely. From what I gather the following situation would occur. Twenty years from now, the Xbox One servers are down. I hold, theoretically, a USB stick or a disc to update the XB1 to the latest firmware. Following that I plop in Perfect Dark Zero for the first time, because I have no taste. The game simply can't play because the servers are gone and I never downloaded the new version. This is correct right?
