At Microsoft’s E3 press conference, they revealed that later this year Xbox Original games will be available to play on Xbox One X later this year via Backwards Compatibility.
Great and all but I was kind hoping they'd drop another dozen or two BC 360 games today. Still waiting on GRAW and Ninja Gaiden... though this may mean Ninja Gaiden Black may be on its way...
Otogi and Otogi 2 are at the top of my list. As is Tenchu Return From Darkness. Although that is really more of an enhanced version of Tenchu Wrath of Heaven on the PS2. It does have better graphics and a couple extra levels though, so I would still like them to bring it. They still haven't brought Tenchu Z from the 360 to backwards compatibility on the Xbox One, so I'm not sure if they will but it would be nice.
They probably could but do they need to, they have the library of games if you want ps1 classics grab a Vita there's not much else to play on the (Vita's) these days ps2 classics are on PS4 now sure you gotta pay again yadda yadda... wait for a sale most of them drop to half price within a month so the massively overexpensive?🤔 £12 is more like £6 for some proper classics let's face it if you don't own the OG Xbox discs some of them classics like Shenmue 2 and rarer stuff is gonna cost a lot more than £6 to track down 2nd hand. Besides ps2 classics have been tweaked and made to look as good as they cansinfor the price they ask. Besides can you use NES cartridges on/In Switch.. no?!! 😱😂Nintendo what a bunch of 🤔😉✌🏻
I get that the "focusing on new games" is supposed to be a dig. It doesn't make much sense though. The teams managing backward-compatibility aren't likely developing games if they're not working on BC.
Its all about the cabbage for Sony. They know a lot of people will pay for old games. BC shouldnt be that hard to implement. Maybe for ps3, but come on!
It's great that ms is bringing together all the generation Xbox games into today to call it a true Xbox family.. but ms didn't deliver that scorpion sting on today's games...
Found my self asking where are the adult games at times...
Best thing out of the conference. Picked up a OG XBOX just a month ago. I love it, but streaming is a pain in the axx. Would love achievements if this is possible. But please make it pop in and go. Don't want to download it again.
I like convergence. I need more space in my house. I'm never going to keep a bunch of consoles hooked up to my tv. Telling someone they should just buy an old console instead of simply having the desirable feature of backwards compatibility is kind of like telling someone they should cary around a flashlight, compass and GPS unit instead of just appreciating that their smart phone can do all of those things.
Convergence is a GOOD thing. Anyone that argues against it is acting stupid. If Sony can bring backwards compatibility to the PS4 or PS5 I'm 100% behind it.
Nope but can play them anywhere you want on Vita. Which also does remote play with the PS4 not that I use that my vita much or remote play ever that's what my telly is for, my Vitas just a ps1 emulator these days 😢😉 ps2 classics would be nice for it tho and maybe ps1 classics for PS4.... What I would really love tho is to be able to put my NES/SNES carts in my Switch 🤞🏻😂
im with you, why we can even play psone psp or ps2 in our ps4, i have a tons of original ps2, psone disk that i will love to play, heck i even love the psn games to be played in ps4, today i have a crazy match in killzone 3 mp, and i wish i was able to record some great kills that i idid, but i can´t (useless have a video capture)
In my opinion the best announcement of Ms presentation otherwise it was quite Mediocre
On this site it was said again and again wait till E3 ms will show up but it was all hype and no substance
When the best announcement during your conference is regarding backwards compatibility than you can't think you will sell based on promise of power alone
I dont pay anything I play new games on my new console, you'd probably do the same if you had any. Its not possible. If you cant take it you're welcome to disappear yourself.
You don't have to wait a week or even another min. ALL the Xbox articles are flooded with Sony fanboys hating. I've been having to defend my excitement every since the reveal lol.ahh silly fanboys
I'd hope such a feature wouldn't be exclusive to XOX. It should be available for all Xbox One owners
I wonder how this is going to work, will we be able to use the original disks or is it some form of download.
This is rather cool, wonder how they will go about it and stuff.
