Forums - Gaming - Xbox One Backward compat struggle behind the scenes

malistix1985 on 14 March 2017

Here is a nice tweet to get an idea how Microsoft is working hard to bring most, if not all, xbox360 titles in the backwards compatability space and that the project to continue these efforts is going on, I love how commited they are in supporting something that is just so pro-consumer as use your old disc, gain access to the digital data and cloud saving and even in many cases benefit from increased framerates.

A big shout out to Bill Stillwell and his team who tweeted this:

Good to see that BO2 is coming. Also nice to see that MS is putting all this work into BC for their fan sot be able to play older games they love.

TL;DR- Shut up and stop complaining. We can't just copy-paste everything onto Xbox One.

It can't bring all of them. That impossible. No, literally they can't bring Kinect games from the 360.

Which is a shame. It is the only games I'd want to play (as far as BC goes) on the xbox one.
Old kinect games + new kinect = interesting experience.

That said I rather they be spending any time money and energy on NEW games. Their exclusives(fine fine, their Xbox +PC games) are very few and far between.

Seriously out of the thousands of xbox 360 games the only ones you want to play are the Kinect ones?

I guess you could try voting for it on the support site, heres a link. https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/251617-cortana-kinect/suggestions/8210472-backward-compatibility-for-xbox-360-kinect-games

You're one of the most vocal Xbox haters here on VGC...

Do you really think anyone here believes that you are dissapointed that you can't play old, gimmicky Kinect games on the Xbox One?

If they ported them all tomorrow you'd probably be the first to say something like "Why is MIcrosoft wasting time on old 360 Kinect games that no one cares about?"  

You're only acting like the lack of 360 Kinect games is a bad thing to try and take away from what MS is doing with BC.

**Looks like Jason1637 beat me to this response haha**

Seems strange to me too, some games are almost renewed completely by the improved framerates, look at lost oddesey and red dead, the boost in performance is insane, it will also add value to the gamepass and scorpio might run the old games éven better.

The Xbox360 and PS3 library are both better then the current gen library with a high variety of games everyone should play. But who knows, maybe Bandorr just really doesn't want to play anything except the latest and the greatest.

But the fact the kinect games would stand out, especially when there are also quite good kinect games on Xone, seems odd to me too.

Good on XBox for their efforts. BC is great!

Is this the reason they're going with the "generationless" approach now? So they can avoid the legal wrangling with publishers by just saying every new Xbox they come out with is part of the Xbox One family?
