E3 2015

[Iceman]

I have a feeling Halo 5 is going to live up to expectations.

 

[X Knight]

wait!! BC??!! with all 360 games?

how does it work?

 

[Poetic Chaos]

Wow, massive feature.

 

[Iceman]

Did they say if it was for new X1s only?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Not all 360 games, yet. They said the games would have to be approved by the publisher, I believe, but as long as that happens, you'll be able to download the title from the Xbox store or just pop in the disc and play.

 

[Dark_Lord]

Insert disc, download game, play. Apparently the developers/publishers just need to approve their games to make them available. No other work needed.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

It's for all Xbox Ones but not all 360 games. There's a list of compatible games for preview members, more to be added over time.

 

[Iceman]

Recore, wonder what that will be like. Looks ok I guess, not amazing or anything.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Backwards compatibility matters on the Xbox One. The 360 breakdown like crazy.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I really never expected BC from MS. They've never really given a **** about BC in the past.

Thanks. Really is an awesome feature that will be so useful to me. I hope this pushes Sony to to do the same. BC all round is the only way I buy multiple consoles this gen so I can free up space.

A nice trailer, but as always, gameplay matters.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

With Sonys investment in PsNow, no way they can add that feature to PS4. Huge win for MS.

Yeah that too, good point.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Fallout 3 with Fallout 4? What? Did anyone else see that flash on the screen?

 

[Iceman]

A nice trailer, but as always, gameplay matters.

The trailer itself was (merely) just interesting to me. I won't be reading up any further till we see gameplay like you said.

 

[Havok83]

MS so far is doing everything right. Unless they screw up somewhere in the middle, it looks like they may win the week

yes they can. PSNow is a service that extends beyond the PS4 and besides it does not include PS1 or PS2 games, both of which would be highly likely candidates for BC

 

[Iceman]

The best thing about this show so far is no Don Mattrick!! Huge win right there lol. How can anyone match that? t:

Sure Sony have some stuff up their sleeve too. SFV is going to be a huge reveal.

 

[Tron Bonne]

EA Access free to all Gold members for this week

 

[terry78]

Halo will be bought, that is all. That and Doom.

 

[Iceman]

Fallout looking a lot better this gen.

 

[Soapy]

Kenny Loggins confirmed.

 

[Iceman]

EA Access free to all Gold members for this week

I still don't really know what you get with EA Access. Guess I should try it out if it's free.

Still can't believe it's going to be PS4/PC exclusive.
