They give this shit out for free if you already own the game. If you don't you can still buy an old copy for cheap and use it.

Meanwhile other companies charge $40 for the same shit. Hell Sony make you rebuy PS2 emulated games on PS4 and they don't even get PS4 Pro support. Nintendo offer zilch.

I agree, it's really cool what they've done with the BC features. Wish Sony would follow suit so I could finally dump my PS3.

I don't own a xX_BOXONE_Xx but I was considering replacing my old 360 with one if the backwards compatibility was good enough, if only for the 4k.

Yes. For 360 at least.

No for original Xbox games.

Yeah, unless that individual game's servers were shut down you should still be able to play online.

Except like every third party game.

Do you literally only play first parties?

it is a very nice feature. :o I just wish there were more BC games. Shame that MS can only make a game BC if the publisher approves. I really want FF XIII and tales of vesperia.

Ok? I own a PC too. Stuff like this is something you only found on PC. So it deserves credit. This stuff isn't easy for consoles to accomplish.

Also keep in mind this is likely being done out of the goodness of Microsoft because how would they make money off of games that can be bought for pennies

The backwards compatibility team are heroes

A lot of times, they arent making any money on BC titles...

If you bought the digital version of a 360 game, as soon as its BC, its automatically available for free to download.

If Xbox Live subscriptions help pay for this stuff I'm fine with it.

Yeah, for all the good Xbox does the simple fact that it has no games makes it hard to justify getting it over the PS4.

There's the TALK prompt down the bottom on the right picture. That probably gives a pretty good idea how zoomed it is. It's not during a cutscene or anything.

But yeah it's an easy way to show the difference between 720p and 4k. Everything is just cleaner and sharper.
