Microsoft seems to be doing that at the software level, so everything they are doing, Sony could also implement that kind of feature. You can't change hardware, you always can improve the software.

Thanks, my terrible trolling about basic facts has taught me to stick to the hyperbole and not say things because you think they're objectively true.
This is exactly like BC and how Sony is implementing at a hardware level while MS is able to already confirm every game currently playable on Xbox One will be on Series X. MS is leagues ahead of the competition with software based solutions.

Has Kaironaut prepped the next OT?
EDIT: Was it Pelochoman who did the new fancy new banners? Is there a full set for Kario to use.

I'm still very surprised that Sony only announced PS4 BC and not even every game either. I remember when MS announced BC for Xbox One that Sony had no idea how MS had done this.
Ever since then people thought it was a given (myself included) that Sony would bring full BC for PS4, but also PS2 and 3. Nope.
Yes but sony don't do that.
Yes, but Sony hasn't made a whole new innovative architecture like Xbox Velocity Architecture.
Today it is too late.
There are technologies that MS uses that has been present on windows for years like BCpack.
This is what rumors indicated, Microsoft would use windows compression tools for their next gen ssd solution.
I am not saying that MS will have better performance, but I am saying that for the SSD solution, assets game streaming, MS does not rely on raw speed but the software solution.
i guess the series x is Tesla then? lol its funny though. so many comparisons, reasoning and arguments where compromise does not exist in a machine. to focus on what something else is vs what you will have. speaks volumes and hopefully someone with a platform can acknowledge it instead of put more fuel into that firepit.

I'm ready for MSoft to show it to us! Unless they already have and I missed it.

I know MS said they're putting something together to communicate more about Velocity Architecture and it's SSD solution. Just hope we get it before Monday!Richard Geldreich on Twitter

It'll be my second 1000/1000 after apex, healing might be hard for me since I usually ise miko as a support and my team is never around
Who is going for 1000 GC in Bleeding Edge? Seems reasonably obtainable.
Hi, hope this is the right place to ask
(If it isn't then could someone please redirect me to where i should ask this instead, thanks)
So my younger brother wants to play 2 naruto xbox 360 games that are quite old by now. They are naruto rise of a ninja and naruto the broken bond.
I told him to check if they were on the list of xbox 360 games that are retrocompatible on xbox one. He said threy weren't on the list.
Does that simply mean the disck wouldn't work on a xbox one, or doe it also mean that they are not available on the xbox one store? (to buy digitally)
Basically, he's trying to figure out if he needs to buy a xbox 360 or if he can buy a xbox one isntead.
Obviously we would get more use out of an xbox one, but if he has to buy a xbox 360 just to play those games he's fine with that.
I assumed you guys would know.
Thanks

Did I miss something, why is there 10,000 people watching Rare's SoT stream. Is there a new announcement?

I'm sure SSD speeds will do amazing things in terms of loading times and open worlds, but no one is going to make games that won't work without them, especially without the specific peak speeds for one of the two major consoles. That would be insane.
Any games that take advantage of that hardware to do seamless world's or fast loads or whatever will just have loading bars / screens, longer elevator rides, or decreased draw distance / chunk size when running on slower storage or overloaded storage.
It's not as if open world games just didn't exist 20 years ago, anyone that played Morrowind on the Xbox will know how that could look, it's not ideal but it'll work.

I would love Japan, but I'm wondering some things:
- Is the next FH game a cross gen title like FH2? If so, maybe something a little less ambitious and then go nuts (Japan) with FH6.
- There are a lot of potentially incredible locations other than Japan. I could see Seoul/Korea, Cape Town/South Africa, Hong Kong (politics may be tough), Mexico, and many others all working well in terms of combining urban, rurual, elevation, etc. Would also be cool to see them do Europe again, I found FH2 pretty unsatisfying in that regard. I'm thinking of the Andalusia race from GT6 - Spain or the Alps could be incredible.
A mountain seems like overkill to me. Maybe someone should ask XboxEra folks about Forza Horizon plans...
I'm guessing most, if not all, games launching in 2020 and 2021 will be cross-gen. I wouldn't expect a lot of Series X exclusive titles before 2022.
If they aren't on the list, it means they aren't compatible at all, whether disc or digital. If your brother doesn't have them on disc or can't find them, they may be on the store to buy digitally, you'd have to check, but they would still only work on a 360.
Also, I'll link the back compat thread for you, in case you have more questions in the future.
Xbox One Backwards Compatibility |OT2| “We’ve got to go back Marty!” | Microsoft - OT
The Xbox One gaming console has received updates from Microsoft since its launch in 2013 that enable it to play select games from its two predecessor consoles, Xbox and Xbox 360. On June 15, 2015, backward compatibility with supported Xbox 360 games became available to eligible Xbox Preview...

What does he mean with the last bit? What he compares it to?
I think when its all said done. InXile may be one of the smartest pickups out of all the game studios. Its been interesting to see how much they've grown with the increased resources. I will admit that before the Microsoft acquisition of them I hadn't heard of any of these games or the studio. However, I have since gone back and played through some of there titles and can definitely see how with the added resources and additional staff they could be something special.
*checks what you're talking about*
I don't see anything that ba....oh....ohhhhhhhh
*closes tab*
I think what solis *cough* Mr Spencer *cough* meant was, "Series X - cool?"
So there's even a possibility XSX will have a better solution to the one thing that PS5 was said to be having the edge on? Interesting.
No, they aren't backwards compatible on Xbox One and I don't even think the game was ever available on the marketplace to purchase digitally only the DLC was and that's been delisted. He will need the games physically and a X360 in order to play them.
oh yeah for sure, i wonder how long the 200k HP one take
Who is going for 1000 GC in Bleeding Edge? Seems reasonably obtainable.
Got a question for you guys here. I don't have access to my Xbox one s anymore. A relative has it right now and my niece loves playing on it. I'm considering getting an Xbox one x soon and having some stuff I need to still play on it, and I really want to play yakuza. But with next gen around the corner, I'm just not sure, what do you all think? Worth getting right now or just wait eight months?
In normal circumstances, I'd recommend waiting, but with the possibility of being locked down for several weeks due to Covid, perhaps a new console to keep you occupied will be money well spent.
Depending on where you're located prices are good at the moment? As Axel mentioned due to lockdowns could be a good time to get one and lets be honest, there is a significant possibility that next-gen could be delayed in the current circumstances so if you can afford it and theres stuff you want to play I say go for it.
lets go!
I finished my switch backlog last week and got nothing to play on there. Xbox was pretty much my main console so I may end up getting an Xbox one x and wait on the next gen one for a while, especially since some of Microsoft's exclusives will be on both systems for a while.
I'm looking at a fallen order bundle for 350. Seems like a good deal for now. Just thought I ask around here for other opinions on it. Just uncertain right now

Thanks to both of you for replying. I'll tell my brother he will have to buy a second hand physical copy of each game and a xbox 360
I'm going to check wikipedia to see all the different xbox 360 models that have been released, to see which would be the best to buy/make sure to buy one of the more recent ones.
I'm pretty sure you'll be looking at either a 360 Elite or Slim, IIRC those are the only ones with HDMI.
I'd wait tbh. I just finished Fallen Order and really liked it, but I also got my Xbox One X in 2018 during the eBay electronics sale with an extra controller for $330, so I don't see $350 with a game as a stellar deal. Series X is going to be the kind of futureproofing that imo supercedes the possibility of buying a soon-to-be obsolete box this year, though it's still anyone's guess as to whether the new consoles will be delayed (I certainly hope not).
