SavageFire52075 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Did Microsolf make the same promise to make Xbox 360 play 1st gen Xbox games? That never really turned out too well. Not many titles worked. And I don't see why they would make the xbox 1 backward compatible when so many people still have and buying the xbox 360.

iBuzz7S Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I would ask why is their any doubt, but Microsoft also said that the Xbox One will never sell without Kinect. They're struggling to do simple things which are designed for the Xbox One. Can't imagine what would happen if they attempted to release an update for backward compatibility. It won't happen. If anything, they will do what they did with the Xbox 360 and support for Xbox games and that is release them on the store for a price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't see why they would make the xbox 1 backward compatible when so many people still have and buying the xbox 360. All of the games I owned were b-c with the 360 except for Burnout: Revenge. And the only reason that one wasn't b-c was because they were going to release a 360 version. Which didn't handle the same. My b-c games played flawlessly. That being said, everyone is getting their backward compatibility. With all of these "HD Remake" versions, there's your b-c. Only problem is, you'll be paying for it too.

Lavindathar Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 As I keep saying - never say never. If there is money to be had (i.e - it would boost 360 game sales/they would sell them digitally), then they will consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Spraggsy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I don't think the Xbox One will ever be properly backwards compatible. I think they will add a 360 marketplace to the Xbox One and do digital download only. Just my thoughts though so could be completely wrong.

Akuza Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Microsoft were adamant that kinect would be sold with Xbox one all the time, they realised that was a bad move. Hopefully they'll release some sort of emulator of sorts soon, like playstation are doing with playstation now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the only reason that one wasn't b-c was because they were going to release a 360 version. Which didn't handle the same. My b-c games played flawlessly. Same here. I always see people say the BC for the 360 was terrible, but all of my original Xbox games played pretty much identically on the 360 to how they played on the Xbox. The only problem I ever had was the image burn-in that would occur for Halo 2. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrochaos Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 They added a ton of games to the 360's B/C, about half of the library: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_games_compatible_with_Xbox_360 They did this because at the time the PS3 was b/c, and they needed to compete.

angelusanya78 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Playstation Now is not an emulator. It is just a streaming service. So why cant Microsoft do that? Would it not be a kind of Steam type app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhunterrrr Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 So why cant Microsoft do that? Would it not be a kind of Steam type app? I think MS has said it might be something they look into in the future, but Azure is not set up for that right now. Sony bought Gaikai for their streaming service.

HabsCen10ial Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 All I want to do is play GTA:V with my friends. This is the only reason I haven't bought an xbox one. I don't understand why this wouldn't be high on their priority list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll get a GTA V HD remake even... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely they'll do a cloud dealio like PS Now seeing as how they have the cloud tech and a bunch of devs from OnLive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why this wouldn't be high on their priority list. You know I gotta agree with you. I don't see why either, even though I don't really play online too much, I still love to just fool around in the Single Player but I wouldn't be able to on the Xbox One since it's not even on it. Oh, and this is off topic but I LOVE your sig man! Go Carey Price! And definitely go Habs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I assumed but they still haven't made a copy of GTA V for Xbox One yet. I would honestly have thought they would have done it a lot sooner.
