Microsoft respects the art form of games. Legendary games reborn through BC; Conker, Morrowind and Jade Empire +...

Halleluja praise the baby lord jesus all-mighty savior that is the BC list.

Legendary games never get old, games are an art-form meant to be preserved no matter the generational pass of time.

Then how come they don't have a 10-rated exclusive this gen?

Because it's all about what critics think and we should shine their shoes while they sit on their pedestal.

wait this is the cream of the crop at MS?

backward compatibility?

there is a saying 'its easier to just scam a person then it is to explain to them that they are being scammed when you are on the outside looking in'

brilliant marketing concept; 'hey guys...lets get kids to buy games we already have made 10 years ago...lol'

pretty sure jade empire and morrowind have been able to be played for ages on PC right now

Yes, Xbox Fanatics purchased three different X1 to play BC titles.

So... the main selling point of the X1 is still being able to play old games? Well... no wonder it's doing as bad as it is.

Or, like, get some good new games maybe?

@Shewgenja:

2014: Cows bought a $400 console to play indie games

2018: Lems buy a $500 console to play 10+ year old games that any old PC can play

This is just embarrassing at this point.

Do you like games or brands? Does it then mean you only like new games?

@quadknight: not more embarrassing then you

Yep, yep. Some great games there. Going to pick up a few of those myself, some I’ve already played and some I haven’t. I love what Microsoft is doing with backwards compatibility on the Xbox One.

this, I think it's time to move all future Xbone discussion to the retro gaming forum.

Savage... but a solid point

@biack_goku: I bought mine to play FFXIV... Hardly an indie game. Second game I bought was Bloodborne. The only Indies I remember we're the free ones from ps Plus. I also bought a PS4 because I knew what exclusives were coming over the next few years and they looked great(and we're). If I went and bought a Xbox One right now, all I know is there will be BC support(Why would I still care about that?? Almost the next gen). I have no clue as to what new games are releasing other than crackdown and state of decay(neither look good).

Let's be honest here, you nitpick shortcomings and oversee advantages one has over the other because you are a brand hunter, not a gamer.

I wish the MS Conker wasn't so censored.

@Epak_: true I agree, there should be an unlocked uncensored mode for this.

Which is kinda surprising when you think about it.

After I'm done with GoW I'm seriously considering playing Jade Empire. Always wanted to but never got to play it.

So glad Rare Replay exists.

i totally forgot about xbox one XD any good games ?

Damn.

aristotle iirc

I would like to see indigo prophecies at some point completely slipped it.

I think these sum it up best:

I would like to see JSRF and Otogi added at a later date. Panza would be a great revisit.

Wait a minute, I have that game! :D

I can play them on other systems already. So why would I need Xbone?

Morrowind, for example, is best on PC, as the console version is a buggy nightmare that crashes every five minutes.

Go ahead, try playing Xbox Morrowind on your Xbone. I dare you.

I guess its safe to say that Xb1x was created for the sole purpose on being the most powerful emulator ever created.

Dude I'm playing Tie Fighter (1994) on my PC...

It's near-infinitely backwards compatible. I really don't understand how a machine with countless variations (PC) can be backwards compatible with ease, and yet a machine with a mere handful of configurations (console)--most of those configurations being something simple like hard-drive size-- can't be backwards compatible. Seems like a scam to me.

Xbox fans shouldn't rest until they can play their original Xbox games on Xbone; not remasters, mind you, but the actual discs from the turn of the century.

I really can't understand why you people get excited about old games.

BC is a shame. Smh.

@mrbojangles25: are you serious?

It's not really getting excited.

I guess people are just please they can play some of those old game they used to love.

Okay if you have all the old consoles sat around wired up and ready to go it's utterly pointless and is clearly not a substitute for new games.

But it's something that is a positive pro-customer addition to the xbox one.

@boycie: the problem is MS is acting like BC is a substitute to new first party games and using it as a main selling point to x1 and x1x which is a really bad move when it comes to adding value to your platform.

Then again, MS was never good at branding, as they always fail in everything but windows and office.

Then why aren't they making any good new ones?

They probably are.

MS truly has been the Only, for the gamers, by the gamers, jazz this gen. Really, really great stuff. Keep it all comin MS, I and millions of other true gamers are lovin it. :D

I'm downloading Conker atm, will give it a go as soon as I can.

One of my favourite games for the Xbox, I was wishing they'd add it to Rare replay and it could be rendered at 1080p.
