Yeah I bet they'll be able to have a bigger relative improvement for Xbox One games on Scarlett than we saw for 360 games on Xbox One. There's not the same challenge of getting the game to run on a different architecture, so just getting the games to run in the first place won't present as much of a challenge.It makes me wonder whether all the XB1 titles will be rendered with 4 times the resolution as an inherent part of BC on Scarlette.
Had fun with the game on PS3. I'm not to keen on rebuying all the dlc again on xbox.Also holy god play Asura's Wrath if you haven't. Make sure to cop the ending DLC too. Amazing experience
Just a reminder, the XBL functions for Xbox Classic games no longer functions.Oh that'd be great. I've been itching to play Spies v. Mercs for so long.
But xlink still works.Just a reminder, the XBL functions for Xbox Classic games no longer functions.
True. It means it won't work out of the box, but that is always an option (and might be easier to find a player vs. the PC version today).
They're already updated, going off the comparisons in the other thread.
I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that LucasArts (Disney) has been a large number of the original Xbox games made available.Also anyone thinks its a bit odd to get Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb?, i mean there must have been some licensing deals to sort out......was it even regarded as a good game??. Im just bitter we didnt get the first Buffy game instead
I'd just like for them to confirm in no uncertain terms that 360 and OG games will eventually resume new arrivals on Scarlett. That's a future for the program I can live with rather than this uncertainty of whether these will be the last games released before the Xbox One generation that will become compatible ever again.
I imagine that we will be getting some Timesplitters release some time soon, just not via bc.
Posted this point in another thread but putting it here too.
Hopefully they're working on the Scarlett being able to emulate older disks outright instead of downloading new code- would make sense right? Otherwise they're going to have to do this testing hundreds of back compat games each console cycle.
And hopefully doing it that way can bypass any licensing issues with older games...
This. I've said a similar thing elsewhere, this needs to be the direction they go in. No more relying on publishers to not get greedy and deny games from the BC programme because they wanna port and sell them again (Capcom i'm looking at you). And then of course all the games with soundtracks that make it unfeasible to renegotiate the deals just for a release that might not bring in much revenue.
I'm honestly surprised that this isn't how it went down for the OG Xbox games. I can appreciate that 360 games are harder to emulate and it might not been as simple as just building one emulator version that works for all of them but I can't imagine OG Xbox should have been that difficult to do. Perhaps it was down to a system limitation from the way the XB1 always needs to run games from internal storage rather than straight off the disc, who knows.
What Scarlett needs is a standalone app, one for Xbox, one for 360 that will either run games directly from disc or just copies it to the internal storage, nothing that needs downloading or approval.
Thank you. I have no idea why people are in denial of the obvious and holding out hope for fantasy. LOLdiscs are two gens ago really. we aren't going back to disc drive emu. They will be focusing on everything being digital from here on out, especially with xCloud.
Nearly everyones OG Xbox and 360 collections sit on discs. Phils whole message has been allowing you to play your old games, so I wouldn't outrule it entirely.discs are two gens ago really. we aren't going back to disc drive emu.

I mean like half of the OG games are games I've never seen anyone ask for. They got what they could license I guess. Never heard of Armed and Dangerous before yesterday tbh. It looks awful tooAlso anyone thinks its a bit odd to get Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb?, i mean there must have been some licensing deals to sort out......was it even regarded as a good game??.

You completely missed the point.Nearly everyones OG Xbox and 360 collections sit on discs. Phils whole message has been allowing you to play your old games, so I wouldn't outrule it entirely.
Xbox original BC seemed like such a wasted opportunity. I mean everyone seemed to want Jet Set Radio Future, for instance.
I'm assuming your point was "discs are old, so disc based emulation won't happen". If I'm wrong please enlighten.
No thanks this sounds awful, I like that each bc game behaves like a real xbox one game even if it slightly bloats the file sizes. I've no doubt that all xbox one games will run on scarlet+ without needing publishers permission just the 360 /ogxbox licenses weren't written with this in mind.This.

They've said their efforts will continue on new hardware. I don't know how much more certain you need it to be.

All of the Splinter Cells got the 4k treatment....and the Burnout 3: Takedown dream is dead just like that. I haven't read the thread so I'll ask, did Chaos Theory get the 4K treatment?
Scarlett is confirmed to have a disc drive and Phil himself has said that Microsoft still value physical media and the ability for players to use their old games. I have no doubt that digital will take over eventually but it wont be next gen, or even the gen after that.
I didn't get that message at all -- from what I got out of the videos/interviews is they just transitioned to making sure everything playable on xbox one is playable on scarlett. Where did they say anything about expanding the "pre-xbox one" library?
"no more classic games will be added to the list of backwards compatible games on the Xbox One and Xbox One X. But Inside Xbox host Julia Hardy has stated that the efforts will continue, just on the new hardware."
As such, we have now shifted our focus to help make the games you love playing on Xbox One compatible with future Xbox hardware.
