Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

Oh shit, if the emulator actually enables vsync then I will definitely be getting an X1 once the BC library expands. That feature alone is worth it to me.
 
Would be great if they did the same thing worth the original Xbox... Emulation was often dodgy on 360, I'd love to play JSRF, deathrow, amped 2 etc again.

Yeah I hope I can still play Ninja Gaiden Black after all these years. Sometimes I have that feeling that I want to play through the game again.
 
Well I stopped playing Mass Effect for the time being. I don't remember the frame-rate being this poor when you're at the Citadel. Also fighting on Eden Prime caused massive drops in the fps.

Anyone else noticing this?
 
If they were to add original Xbox emulation I could see them turning back on OG Xbox Live servers.
The account system for Live is now incompatible with OG Xbox servers. That's why they turned them off. Sadly this means they will never come back most likely.

No, they wouldn't.

There was issues on the back end that needed to be resolved. The old XBL servers were on dedicated racks. Xbox Live on 360 and One are on Azure

There is a hard limit to friends on old Xbox of 100.... devs coded around that 100 level.

They'd have to put in a nasty hack of shims in there to connect to azure servers... probably only take peoples favorites as friends and then emulate every distinct server for every game they had. Stupidly difficult work with little gain.

Unlikely. One of the main reasons OXbox Live went down is that the whole support apparatus for the Original Xbox had to do go down, and since every game was hardcoded to use the same Live login, they had to go down with the ship.

You'd be able to use the LAN functionality via XBC, though.

edit: one of the upgrades to 360 era Live is they can individually allow/disallow certain games from connecting to Live (like when you try to use the Halo 3 beta now, it'll knock you off Live)

MGR, Tomb raider games, vanquish.... YES, YES YES!
 
I'm sure I read when this was announced that Vanquish and Bayonetta would be in the first wave of games when this launches properly.

Looks great.
 
So, it didn't actually seal the deal then basically.

lol xD

I just had a terrifying thought. The Xbox One doesn't allow you to change your language without changing your location. It says I speak "no languages" in the voice command drop down list, incidentally, since I'm in Sweden and Microsoft CANNOT FATHOM that we speak English over here.

Viva Pinata and Banjo Nuts & Bolts both change the in game language based on the system's language.

I- uh.

I don't want to think about this any more.

http://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/25...tions/6028840-don-t-region-lock-the-languages

There's a vote going for it right now. I dunno why this didn't happen with like.. the first update.

I know it sucks but just swtich to US English. Read my thread on how to buy games from US marketplace (cheaper than swedish).

Ja jag är svensk
 
Interested to hear if this works for anyone else that isn't in the preview program (and apologies if it has been reported, haven't seen it anywhere yet).

Note: I've asked for an invite in the preview thread, but haven't yet received a message or app to join the xbox one preview program.

I was able to access the BC 360 games on my Xbox One by doing the following:

1. Find a user who has played a BC 360 game on their XB1 (Major Nelson has Mass Effect in his list for example).
2. Make sure you are following them as a friend.
3. Go to your Friends tab on the xbox one dash and go to the 'Popular with friends' section
4. Find the 360 game and click into it
5. You should then have view in store, install etc options

This has worked for me for Hexic HD, Perfect Dark and Mass Effect (all digitally purchased previously)

I am currently downloading perfect dark! I'll report back if it works and I'm not in the preview program!
 
Very very impressed with Mass Effect. Just put Kameo in to install but I messed around with ME and it runs really great. Love how the 360 logo pops up, and that you can bring up the 360 menu. The menu pops up and its so smooth. Later on in my 360 slims life whenever I brought up that menu it would be so slow.
 
They better add Alan Wake to the list soon.

Also not a fan of this invite only crap.

this is the beta/preview program
once the bugs are worked out it will be released to everyone
remember people are testing the product and we get all the bugs as well
and all the problems.. such is the purpose of the program

It's invite only for a reason. There are bugs and issues that come up in the preview updates. Allowing anyone to get in easily will just end up with people complaining the system is broken.
 
For those of you surfing profiles to find and download games without been in the beta.

My Profile (AdyCarter) should have everything bar Super Meat Boy and PDZero on it.
 
And Perfect Dark worked. Perfectly.

I have spoken about how I think Remasters and such were in the vast majority of cases cynical cash grabs.

Now if you make a remaster you need to throw in some deep fucking value otherwise people will (hopefully) just laugh it off.

And the way this works is fucking amazing, xbox snap and all that work, suspend resume excellent and elegant implementation!

This was my personal E3 megaton, and I hope it forces the whole industry to respect us more as customers.
 
Just picked up Mass Effect for a £1 from a local pawn shop, downloading the 7GB install now. Thanks to Quick Mustard for the add and invite. Will get Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, Vesperia and Lost Odyssey if and when they are added.
 
Does not work in the preview but will when it is released

Not doubting you, but could you provide a source? I'd like to see what they say.

It was excellent when cloud sync recognised all my ME saves, but then they wouldn't work because the Bring Down The Sky DLC was missing.

It's in the preview FAQ

Q: Where is my DLC?

A: DLC will be supported when the program is launched to everyone, but during preview DLC will not be supported.
 
Unlikely. One of the main reasons OXbox Live went down is that the whole support apparatus for the Original Xbox had to do go down, and since every game was hardcoded to use the same Live login, they had to go down with the ship.

XBC doesn't exist. Your point stands though. There's always Xlink Kai

WHAT!!, so games i dont own, if my friend has them i can download them and play them?

Its probably hasnt aged that well but would love to play Buffy the Vampire Slayer game, thought that was brilliant back in the day and only ever came out of the original XBOX
