XboxUK failed to show how Backward Compatibility on game disc works

Several days ago XboxUK released a video showing how backwards compatibility works on Xbox One. Free backwards compatibility is certainly a great feature to the console however the video failed to completely tell how backwards compatibility will work on disc based games.

Just started up Dungeon Siege III on X1. Gotta say getting 4 free games a month is great.

HaydenJameSmith3083d ago (Edited 3083d ago )

It is, was enjoying Dungeon Siege too. Liked it more than I expected...

@NewMonday

What? All I said was I enjoying Dungeon Siege. And yes it doesn't play the discs cause it can't. It's not a catch, it's a necessity to play said games...

Plus once you've downloaded the game, you don't need to be online.

NewMonday3083d ago

oh so it doesn't play the actual discs and requires online

always a catch with Microsoft SMH!

@Newmonday

Have you been living under a rock? That's old news. It's been known since E3 this year.

Its always downplaying with you. SMH

Lev19033083d ago

@NewMonday Im sorry, where is sony's backwards compatibilty?

You dont need to downplay the awesome feature of this, it makes you look salty.

@NewMonday

Your constant trolling of xbox related articles is pathetic, you're an embarrassment to gamers in general and your fellow Sony fans.

Go outside.

Put in the disc that is BC compatible, download the game online and play. What is so difficult about it?

christocolus3083d ago (Edited 3083d ago )

Lmao. well said Rookie.

They prefer being spoon-fed. Lol

Kiwi663083d ago

Believe it or not but for some particular people its a hard concept for them to grasp hence they downplay it

Was this article made by the lead designer of ps now? Because i taste salt

FoxyGotGame3083d ago

What's to be salty about? The games on that list aren't great...X1 BC is lacking anything outstanding, only Xbox devotees are hyping BC. Meanwhile 'new' multiplat games perform better on PS4.

Quit crowing and enjoy the older 360 games /

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5070d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905070d ago (Edited 5070d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5070d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5070d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495070d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5070d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5070d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
