It's great, unless it's implemented in the way BC usually is. Anyone remember the days of PS2 BC "working" on a large library of games, only to have many of them glitch out and/or crash? The current list of games for X1 is, in a word, underwhelming. While I expect that to expand, I'm most over the hype of BC and the lackluster implementation. |
I never had a problem with BC on any console except Xbox 360. In all of the other instances (DS, PSP, Wii, Wii U, PS2, PS3, Vita, 3DS) the BC had always worked great, often improving the older game's performance. Hoping XB1 gets a huge library and fixes some performance issues in order games. Even the glitchy 360 backwards comp raised resolution in lots of games.

I remember so many PS1 games being virtually unplayable (All of the FF remake discs had a knack for freezing at certain points, effectively prematurely ending the games.). By the time PS3 came out (I got the MGS fat version.), I was mostly over it. I actually had the same problems with the discs that were problematic on the PS2. I think it means more to platform switchers than anyone else, because having no history with the library makes BC the perfect opportunity to catch up.
