Xbox One Preview Program Insider Look of Backwards Compatibility


Fishy

Recommended Posts

I would imagine the Halo games are supported, but I'm curious about Fallout 3/ Vegas and Skyrim.

 

It actually much worse than that. :)

 

Only Halo Spartan assault is supported despite the fact its already on the XB1.

 

Fallout 3 is also supported too.

 

And that's about it from your list.

Confirmed to be added

 

If Halo Reach and Black Ops were not on the list this post would have turned into an angry rant.

 

This list is nothing but disappointing though.

 

Sonic, Zuma, perfect Dark, who asked for these godawful games to be added? What about the games in the Xbox Poll like Read Dead Redemption, where are amazing games like that on there?

 

Not like it helps that a lot of the games on the list are games already on the Xbox One.

 

At E3 this looked to be Microsoft's trump card, now, not so much. :)

Well, 'amazing' is very subjective, but since you asked:

  • Fable II
  • The Gears of War series
  • Mass Effect
  • LEGO Star Wars
  • The Rainbow 6: Vegas series
  • Halo: Reach
  • The Bioshock series

Are all pretty amazing games to me. More importantly - this is just the first round of games to be added, there'll certainly be more.

Eh, a lot of the games just feel pointless though.

 

Sure there is Halo Reach on there and Bioshock  but that's small fish.

 

And as you known in the big sea of games, that's most certainly, small fish.

 

Look at that game list, who asked for some of those?

 

The top 10 right now are:

 

1 Black Ops II (Not added)

2 Red Dead Redemption (Not added, but Rockstar are clearly weary of the idea)

3 Skyrim (Not added, but the most possible of all as the first thing Bethesda did with the new hardware was port Skyrim onto it)

4 Call of Duty MW2 (Not added)

5 Halo Reach (Thank the Nine)

6 Call of Duty Black Ops Not added)

7 Fallout 3 (Added)

8 Gears of War 3 ( Added)

9 Call of Duty MW2

10 Call of Duty world at war

11 Mass effect 3

12 Fallout New Vegas

13 Left 4 dead 2

14 Bioshock infinite

15 Gta 4

16 Batman Arkham City

17 Mass Effect 2

 

Now then look at these games, see what's added and what's not, not much.

 

Half the games being added are already on the One. And the others cater so such a small minority such as Zuma or perfect Dark, who asked for those?!

 

These top one's are the games that should be added first because they were the first asked for or hell, the first 10 at least! :)

Well I would guess that Triple A games would be the hardest to get. Microsoft does have to get permission from the content owner to put the game on the roster, and the ones that say no will not be carried over.

 

The small Arcade titles I would think are the easiest to bring in. And like RSR says, good is subjective. Some might have fond memories of playing old games like these even if they're not groundbreaking. I myself thoroughly enjoyed playing Zuma's Revenge on the PC.

It's a shame that Halo Wars was not included this month...

 

They're probably saving that for some kind of Halo Wars 2 hype event next year. Though MK IV is very connected to Wars, so having it come out with Cartographer's Gift... could've been a no brainer.

 

Still, Halo Wars 2 broi. We haven't even seen gameplay yet.

Also, Microsoft has released the Community Calendar app this month!

 

Microsoft also revealed that a new feature dubbed Community Calendar App has been rolled out and is now live on Xbox.

 

"The Community Calendar provides a destination to help you easily discover hundreds of upcoming events, get involved and meet other gamers, game-creators, and even some of us here at Xbox. The Community Calendar also introduces new programming, as well as brings back some old favorites," said senior global manager, Mike Lavin.
