Reality Check: B/C Isn't A Big Deal

I did. Screen teering that didn't exists, DLC not working, etc.

Resolution is the same, load times are faster (better hard drive). That's about it.

Add me on Xbox Live. I'd like to play with you!  I'm d21lewis

Before, whenever you went to an area, it would begin with all of the textures loading in one layer at a time.  On XB1, it all loads almost instantly.  Plus on 360, there was almost constant screen tearing.  I didn't notice any on the XB1.  DLC doesn't work but, as I mentioned before, it's still just a demo of what the future will hold.  There's no Xbox Live Marketplace to download DLC from, yet.

 

There are already videos with comparisons, especially for Mass Effect, which show improvements and show nothing what Protendo pretends to have experienced.

Also keep in mind that there is no single game on next-gen consoles that run via disc, they all are installed. To the Xbone, the emulator is an Xbone game so there is no running off discs, but all the features like screenshots, twitch streaming and so on. Also when downloading the whole package with patches you have a single binary that you have to emulate and not "oh, disc has no patch level, now I have to download it to wherever I am not able to because it's still different than on 360 (you can't access storage from within the emulator). You have one final-patched version of a game and this is going to be emulated.

And especially I don't know how people already moan about something that didn't even release yet officially and is only available to preview members.

Did you not read his response.

He sees the screen tearing too and confirms the DLC issues.  It's been a long time since I played the 360 version, I don't have the screen tearing issue on the PC version.

I just had a thought.  I had a copy of Tomb Raider Underworld that was scratched.  I eventually got another copy (I rented from a "Mom and Pop place and swapped copies because I am evil).  I don't have any scratched games now but I wonder if someone could pop in a scratched game disc and suddenly download the full game on XB1!

You can. As long as that part of the disc isn't scratched that it needs to verify your purchase. I tried a disc my 360 couldn't read (took ages to get to the menu screen) and the Xbox One had no problems downloading it and using the disc to verify. So as long as that part of the disc isn't scratched, it looks like your good to go. Granted I only had one badly scratched disc to test, but I was still pleasantly suprised.
