Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it

I had this problem with the NA version. It took two system restarts for the Xbox to recognize the game.

Thanks man. Did some hard resets and it works now. Played two hours and had two crashes to dashboard tho...

Game goes silent for a few seconds then freezes then force closes.

PS: had some nasty framedrops during the shadow vortex scene near the beginning
 
Yay, my combo disc is finally working again! Just got Pac-man and Galaga installed. i guess service was just glitchy. Of course the disc needs to be in the slot to auth, but it plays fine!

Wow, I didn't know this worked. Thanks for the heads up. Not preview only I hope?
 
How many episodes does Alan Wake's story have? An episode a day will get me through it before the end of the month, right?
If memory serves me right there's 6 chapters but they're quite lengthy compared to other games. The entire game is about 15 hours long.
 
Oh shit I should pay more attention then.

Time to use these bing rewards.

Yeah...as long as you are referring to SC1 and not SC2HD, 4, or 5. Currently only Soul Calibur is BC atm. SC2HD was in testing and there was some confusion about it being a European release in place of a game that released in the US, but as far as I know it hasn't come out anywhere yet.
 
I sank an hour or two into SotN and Borderlands, both feel rather good.

SotN felt like it responded really quickly to inputs, probably the best out of all the BC games so far.

Borderlands has the same stick issues as Dirt where the xbox one controller is way too twitchy with it's analog settings, I had to drop borderlands ingame aiming speed down a bit so I would stop over aiming, ran about as good as I remember from years ago but I only played for an hour, bigger battles will most likely feel different.

Do you have a Windows 10 machine in the house? Bonus if it is a laptop.

Setup in-home streaming in the same room. Plug Xbox 360 controller into Win10 box.

View game on TV, use controller hooked up to PC. Ignore the streamed image on your Win 10 box.

Viola, you are using an Xbox 360 controller on the Xbox One.

is this insider info? any update about VF5FS?

I forgot about this, a shame we have to do something like this however.

I did try doing this with the microsoft wireless speed wheel last year for forza 6, it connects but the wheel doesn't work due to the drivers :(

Nah...Might be remembering the way the releases went a bit weirdly, but I'm pretty sure one of the December games was stated to be SC2HD in Europe because one of the games we got in the US wasn't released over there so they just grabbed it at random. But as far as I know it never happened either way.

Either way with SC already on there and Tekken Tag 2 in testing it's only a matter of time before the other SC games hit.
 
The PS3 is a whole different beast and Sony don't have virtualisation experience. Even if it was MS trying to run the PS3 on a PS4, I'd be very shocked if they managed to pull it off.

It's not apples to apples and it's not just raw power.

Because of the PS3's architecture probably.

The PS3 is a single PowerPC chip and 6 floating points processors (one is disabled to improve yield and one is used by the OS). I would be surprised if the PS4 can emulate those 6 SPEs in real-time.

The 360 you can at least give a One core to each emulated core, and you have leftovers to use after that. Microsoft also is helping the One out immensely with what appears to be a pre-bake strategy where they preconvert a lot of instructions to X86.

PS4 doesn't even have enough cores to map 1:1 to the PS3 in emulation and have any left over to help the emulator along. It's not a direct comparison between the two hardwares - the PS3 was a CPU beast.

Guys, I know why it isn't possible. I was just replying to a guy who thinks that it should be possible for Xbone to emulate the 360 because it was released in 2005.

Or use a CronusMAX ;)

Amazing accessory that allows you to use a 360 controller on Xbox One, or even Wii U Pro controller or Dualshock 4 on Xbox One.
 
You mean you finished watching season 2. The last episodes have yet to air.

I don't say this to be pedantic but because it's a genuinely exciting thing to think about.

Track down the live action Alan Wake tie in. I think it was called bright falls. It was very good.

yes to all of this.

Ugh, we had all this shit with the Xbox One before. It's like their engineers don't understand how RGB works at all.

I don't think the X1 uses the same grayscale as the 360, and if games were developed with those black levels then I'll bet it's tough for the emulator to work with.
