Jup both are great. Only less open world like 3. But still freedom.
So for these 360 games enhanced for the X, do I have to buy them again or if I put my 360 copy of Horizon for example it'll patch automatically?
Probably just hasn't populated. Search it on the store, and you can install it from there. I had the same thing happen.
I can't believe there's no changing of code here. Wizardry.
Looks like a new game. It's incredible.Crackdown looks absolutely pin-sharp. Some really nice sharp textures at 4k too.
Climbing still really fun.
Put the disc in and it will download the BC version of that game to your HDD. You will need to keep the disc in to play it as usual.
It'll download the Xbox One version and you'll just use your disc like any Xbox One game.
No, your copy should work but it will have to download the digital version of the game and your copy will be the 'key' for you to play it.
Thanks guys, I was expecting to buy the games again but this feature has sold me on the One X. :)
One more question, is HDR supported?
Is weird to see a game like crackdown with today eyes.
Like we are now used to games with more impressive graphical features, but back in the day nothing was better than that. I kinda dig the aesthetic, it gives me good memories

Fuck yes, Forza Horizon 1! (the other games are cool too)
Lol, you were on a 360 last time, what are you getting excited for? :P
I will slap you. FH1 is the best the series has ever veen, and with the continued lack of focus in the sequels, it'll probably always be.

Another Crackdown comparison. The bilboard text is the most pronounced
Lol, who knew it said The Network? :D stunning, thanks for the gif - these are so useful!
At least you don't have to buy a overpriced remaster.
Yes it is. This is CRAZY to someone who doesn't know jack shit about game development.
There's still the insider builds that are still being tested internally left. Apparently they may roll out by the end of this week or so.
Yep :( I have two car packs that I own with the season pass that I'll never be able to get again
I know Mirror's Edge was already XBX enhanced, but I just got pushed an update for that as well. Wonder if they changed anything else for that.
Nice Forza Horizon is amazing and I still think the best of the series in many ways in capturing that festival atmosphere.
I don't think that is the reason they have done it, just working with finite resources and in an emulator no less they will hit limits in certain titles.
All One X enhanced BC games get the update because of the new selectable options to run a game in Graphics (Resolution) or Performance mode!
I can't get over how great the X enhanced BC is. Can anyone in the know explain to me what exactly the 'Heutchy Method' is? I hope the guy gets a pay rise and bonus for his efforts!
I would not be surprised to see further improvement to the emulator tech they are using and backported these to the other X enhanced bc titles.

Usually just a emulator update to bring it up to the newest version.
So it sounds it intercepts the resolution that the game is telling the GPU to render at and the Virtual GPU simply ignores it and chooses to render a higher resolution version.

Nope. That's about the Preview Program, which should be ramping up for the Sprint Update.
Nice, thank you for that. I think I get it. Clever shit right there.
Someone needs to try Halo Reach is performance mode to see how much better it is, if that's possible.
Yes, but it depends on the game. So far I believe it's only Halo 3 and Mirror's Edge that support it.
Here are some Crackdown screens, Graphics Mode of course.
This doesn't even look real. I've played this game for so long, my kids have played it so much. I'm looking at all these locales as I download to my launch date XB1 and this is finally the day that I rue not having a 4K TV and Xbox One X. This is phenomenal. Thanks for sharing the pics. Wow. .
Really impressed with how Crackdown looks. Sharper edges, less burry, more draw distance, more NPCs on screen. Absolute wizardry they were able to pull off.
EDIT: How could i forget about those textures??!!

Wait, I've missed this. Mirror's Edge is boosted to 4K and HDR??
It's only the X enhanced games that have the option, the performance mode makes it run the same as it would have anyway.
IIRC the X enhanced version of Halo 3 is broken for screenshots, so this may be a catch all to quirks X mode introduces.
I don't think I've heard of any other issues with H3 though.
