Shrug, guess I have too high a standard for expecting reasonable when I converse with people here. Alanah shouldn't be coddling idiots.
The video is just a perfect, real world, unedited demo that we should have more of for this stuff.
Almost certainly not compatible because they are being heavily patched. Same with Forza
User warned: drive-by posting/platform warring, not reading the OP
The Mr. who called sony out for their bad messaging regarding BC,...please hold your horses next time...
When Verified media is telling the OP he is wrong, you know it's bad, haha
Did you even bother to read, like, anything?
Makes sense.
Didn't know their day 1 patch was already announced.
Edit: off course, all the upgrades they showed off for Gears.
Had a brain fade for a sec and forgot it's not a separate SKU.
It will 100% be because those games have patches, but they haven't been released to journalists.
Also, as has been pointed out, only some games are available for journalists right now anyway.
Honestly now I just want a full list of games that are crashing because that could likely mean they'll be BC Enhanced!
She shouldn't edit her video, no. But the OP shouldn't make it out to be something it's not like BC incompabilities, she literally says the game that crashes out is because it has an update and the games that aren't compatible are not JUST YET. Which there is reasons for, they release new games for preview in waves and these will have patches.
Game didnt crash. It went back to the dash because there was a update
This makes sense. I had been seeing a lot of my BC games on my One S get updates recently. Burnout Revenge and Too Human both got MULTIPLE patches recently.
I won't be surprised to see MCC at 4k120 on Series X. That's probably the easiest upgrade they can give the collection on the console given the games already run at 4k60 on X1X.
Gears 5 and FH4 are getting SX Optimized so it's not surprising.
Anybody with a smidgen of common sense knows that not only is this a work in progress but you're never going to get it 100% right with backwards compatibility.
Having watched the video, I think "crashes and bc incompatibilities" is maybe stretching credibility, because the "crash" was the game prompting for an update, and the incompatibility was specific titles that are disabled in the preview as native patches are finished in the leadup to launch. I was expecting like a *hard* game crash, or games showing odd behaviors/performance.
Yea but it looked like it had to start from scratch after that losing whatever part she was up to using quick resume no? I imagine the game has to quit to apply an update.
I agree with that. OP shouldn't have editorialized the thread title. I thought that was what Alanah titled her video.
This is probably just some issue with the current host oor system OS build. Besides the architectural similarities, all Xbox One games run in a VM containing their own GameOS so it's unlikely there is any real compatibility issue
e: The 'is not compatible' message is just driven by a whitelist

I am not too surprised there are problems with BC sometimes. Its an emulator right? also a work in progress.
We know Xbox One titles are what you'd call "native" BC, because DF was able to use the unpatched disc version of AC Unity for some of their recent coverage. Original Xbox and 360 titles download the patch the same way they did on XB1, though.
It's worth watching the video, it sounds like the thread title is giving the wrong impression.

I was impressed that switching from Control to Ori took 8 seconds in the video. Both games are 1X enhanced, so take 9GB of RAM. This would give the average transfer of 2.25GB/s, so very near the advertised speed of the SSD. I wonder if we can extrapolate that to 12s between native Series X games.
i think Bakalar mentioned those games were on the incompatible list too on the beast cast
The OP says MS is having BC problems with their first party games and that's not the case?
Your question isn't very specific. If you insert an OG Xbox Game or a 360 game, it downloads the game to the system (the disc is just a key). Games on the current/next-gen systems aren't going to run off the disc at all.
As for BC games this gen and next, they've always downloaded the game package offline, they've never just ran off the disc you put in (as far as I know). None of the BC games I have (I have hundreds) have ever ran off the disc or just by putting it in from scratch.
So no, BC OG Xbox/360 games don NOT work if you're offline. I don't know about XB1 games on Series X. They most likely work like normal Series X games.

She doesnt go back to it because its still downloading the update when the vid stops. Dont know really. Quick resume works even after a full console cold reboot.
Might still work after a patch also? No idea. Guess will see. Good to maybe indeed to save if you want to be sure.
