To me this is one of the 1X's biggest selling points that Microsoft aren't getting enough credit for. They themselves don't even seem to make a huge deal out of it relatively speaking and I'm not sure why. They're essentially giving you 4K remasters for free (if you own the game obviously) with support for stuff like cloud saves and other perks that come with Xbox Live. Games like Gears 3 and Forza Horizon now look comparable to an average modern title which is crazy as a free update. You can't get those games anywhere else, not even PC.
It makes $40 remasters like Burnout look extremely overpriced even if they do include the DLC. Remasters like Dishonoured 1, Bulletstorm Full Clip Edition and Sleeping Dogs DE are a joke in comparison especially when some of them were still 30fps. Can you imagine how much RDR would sell if they gave it the BC 4K treatment and sold it for $30-40?
I really hope Microsoft can keep pumping these out in a timely finish and 360 exclusives such as Lost Odyssey end up on there eventually. The Xbox is my least preferred platform but this shit is genuinely amazing.
