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

Because OgXbox BC required an hdd. So NVidia and ms made an agreement to tie the due royalties to hdd's sold as non hdd skus wouldn't use it.


Edit: At least that's the story that was told back then.
This probably isn't true. The HDD requirement is a limitation of the Xbox expecting the presence of a hard drive and while I'm sure Microsoft could have supported it in some fashion once bigger internal storage and USB drives became compatible the project was completely dropped for years at that point.

I remember now about a book that came out last gen, that gave some inside scooped on the console. Perhaps it was that?

I was trying to remember the book's name, something like Unlocked: 360, but with no luck.
 
Xbox UK's Facebook page now looks like this.

WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
 
Can the original post be edited on a regular basis and add newly added BC games with the dates they were added? So that we only check the original post without the need to go through the whole list.

So like instead of listing everything just list the newest titles, of let's say, the past month?

Hope I'm understanding the request :P

I do update it once a week usually
 
Eh, I like having all games on there. I just come here and do a ctrl+f if I fancy playing something I'm not sure is on there or not.
 
uhm, tomorrow is the 15th year anniversary of XBOX OG, and according to XBOX Spain FB channel, MS have some surprises in store to celebrate it, expect the unexpected..

But sadly as a rule when we're asked to expect the unexpected we go a little extreme...

"ZOMG TOMORROW WILL HAVE 200 OG XBOX TITLES BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE ALL WILL BE FREE FOR GOLD USERS AND HAVE FULLY EMULATED OG XBOX LIVE"

Why's that? I usually play as dudes in game because I am one dude.

Male voice sucks, female voice is way, way better. It's not even a subjective opinion, this is a scientifically proven fact.

Anytime someone complained about the humour in Sunset Overdrive they invariably played as a male character.
 
There are a decent number of 720p OG Xbox titles, and a few 1080i ones. Plus roughly half of the games support 16:9. Not saying they would look amazing. But Sony is pushing far uglier titles on their PS2 classics for PS4 line.

6 are 1080i. No classics among them.

less than 50 are 720p. Many are sports games, and few classics, if any, among them.

I really don't see this being a priority.
 
Actually they still look pretty good. I connected my OG Xbox to my Pioneer receiver that will upscale component sources to 4k. Looks good to me up-converting from 480p/720p/1080i to 4K. Unfortunately the original Xbox did not support 1080p only 1080i.

My Pioneer plasma upconverts better than my Pioneer receiver - and 480p stuff still looks pretty bad. Compound that with the output's anti-aliasing and you've got a recipe for trash.

So pretty. And the female voice is much better. Also you can change your character at any time, so you can play around with the character creator as you're not locked in.

Already said this several pages back, but that's just a promotion whereby you get extra reward points for buying robot themed games across all three platforms, absolutely nothing at all to do with OG Xbox backwards compatibility, stop kidding yourselves.
