Support NeoGAF

[Sanpei]

This is awesome...

So if i get a game with GWG on x360, i will be able to play it on XBO if it supports...Nice

GAMES with GOLD

Get all games including X360 ones



Is there a region lock ? Can i use my NTSC game on PAL XBO ?

 

[Zombie Lyle]

Where do I download my 360 games from?

 

[ColonialRaptor]

This is pretty huge. I reckon all consoles should be back compatible.

 

[Bizzquik]

They're working on figuring out multiple disc releases like LO and Blue Dragon.

Is this what Phil Spencer told Giant Bomb?
Anyone have a link to the interview? Can't find it on their website.

I hope Microsoft figures out how to make this work for games requiring multiple discs. Having the whole Mass Effect trilogy on my hard drive - with all my purchased 360 DLC, and with no disc swapping - would somewhat make up for EA's indifference towards a proper Remaster.

Figuring out how to make multiple-disc games work probably creates a chance for new digital sales opportunities, too.

Yea, it might not have been a big deal back then. But in todays world where people have massive digital libraries, this becomes a huge bonus.

 

[Prozel]

I was seriously going to sell my Xbone (was very close striking a deal) but that's off. This is game changer for me.

Question is if I should sell my PS4.

well, apparently it's not far fetched, just the opposite

Btw Phil told me that he's been emphasizing that games like blue dragon and lost odyssey are also supported and working as expected.

Imagine they go deeper and make it backward backward compatible?

[Rad Agast]

I'm picking up an Xbox one next month. Was wondering if my NTSC/North American 360 games will work with a European Xbox one. If not, I'll stick with a US one.

Sorry if this has been answered before but it's a huge thread.

With this kind of ''popular'' posts I doubt if you even own a PS4

Just have both!

Why sell just look at the announcements the past couple of days you are in for a real treat owning both.

Your Game & App
section Ready to Install

So i put in the Project Dark Zero disk and tried to install it, but it gave me the message that it was a game not yet supported yet?, i thought it was in the list of 21 preview games that are ready to play?

Are you outside the U.S.? Only NA discs currently supported

PAL Disc ?

They are not supported yet (but will be at the official launch)

Damn it!, even if i'm in the preview program??

I'm in the UK.

PAL user here too and just got into the preview program today. This sucks.

Or Wii U or PC? Not that I really should care if you believe me or not.

Nah, it's a great (but wallet crushing) time to be a console gamer. Keep both and splash out on a WiiU if you don't have one.

strange, two friends of mine installed ME on their XBOX One, using their PAL discs

Also own. They've been collecting dust the recent months but e3 has sparkled some interest with news like this.

Was playing my UK disc copy of Viva Piñata this morning.

Have no problem here either. Installed mine last yesterday. also UK based.

 

[Star Falcon]

Wonder if Marvel vs Capcom will ever get supported given the state of that franchise i have a copy of UMVC3 and Arcade versions of MVC2 and MVC Origins.

 

[The Crimson Beast]

Dragons Dogma with stable framerate hype!!!!

Maybe it´s not all games.

But if you look into the official forums there is definitely a problem with PAL discs and they even put it in their FAQ that only North Amiercan discs work at the moment.

But well ... it´s called preview for a reason ;-)

 

[FunnyBunny]

I'm so tempted to pick up an Xbox One.

Outside of Forza, there aren't many—okay, none—exclusives I want to play. But there are a handful of titles I still play on my 360.

I'll need to keep an eye on which third party publishers agree to take part in this.

Do it, you won't regret it.

Hard to believe that nothing outside of Forza would interest you ;-)

But at least there is Forza 6 and Forza Horizon 2

Just do it => It´s a great system and many more games will come.

 

[Lichter]

You have to put a disc-based game to download it or not?

Because I've heard that they let you download the game just by looking to your achievements.

You need the disc in the console to verify you own the game.

Same as X1 disc games.

 

[Max_Po]

THis is extremely awesome, and here I was listing my new CoD edition Xbox1 for sale... and worring about getting the cost back.

WIN WIN WIN man... WIN WIN WIN...

 

[Max_Po]

wat? the game will run exactly as it did on x360 bro.

You need the disc unless you have a digital license through the marketplace

 

[Max_Po]

I have most of the game Digitally purchased but they are not showing up.

Example is Banjo Nuts and Bolts...anyone else?

I also have ME digital purchase.... not showing up ..

 

[Cider X]

This is some next level black magic. How are they emulating a 3.2 ghz PPC on that slow netbook CPU? Are there any technical articles about this?

 

[The Crimson Beast]

seriously? They said games would run "better" during the conference. Im assuming this meant more than faster load times.

 

[DrFurbs]

Is this done through emulation.

You are in the preview, right? Nothing showed up for me at first, I had to just leave it on the ready to install list for a minute

 

[Ratros]

I am wondering about that too. Maybe it's partly due to the fact that both XBOX360 games and XB1 games use DirectX technologies?

Also I am told that you cannot just insert the disc and play; XB1 will automatically initiate a download, which contains a repacked version of your old XBOX360 game. I guess it implies that the magic behind is not all about emulation...

 

[The Crimson Beast]

https://youtu.be/cCGKATko82U?t=206 crap he said better as in it has xbox one pictures and crap. Well i couldnt care less about this feature now.

They're repackaged into xbox one games to enable support for the xbox one features. Phil Spencer went into a lot of detail explaining it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjh1Uo_xaSQ&feature=youtu.be&t=11170

It's one emulator for all games though, unlike the OG Xbox emulator on 360

 

[Silent Chief]

Can you play the original xbox games that were backward compatible with the 360?

 

[sangreal]

No. Not yet at least

I wouldn't bet on it either, due to nvidia's royalty fees

I'm not an expert at gigaflops, ram stuff or whatever but I'm pretty sure that a processor manufactured back in 2005 can be easily overclassed by something more recent (and more powerful). Plus this is official emulation
