Well, it is all speculation until we know more about this. It would seem that X360 BC will continue in some capacity regardless, considering we just got MGS like two days ago. But, perhaps we should try making some some noise about this? Maybe some of us should try to ask Phil or Major Nelson what is up on Twitter?
OG Xbox games were put on an emulator designed with 360 architecture in mind, and 360 and X1 have different architecture. OG Xbox and 360 games are running on an emulator designed for X1's X86 architecture, and "X2" will have similar X86 architecture, so the emulators should be able to work without issue this time. However, the library isn't going to be all that impressive, given Xbox OG BC seems to be done now. :/
Good point about the hardware differences. Makes sense.
This...the process is complete...the emulator is solid
I'm just starting to buy into what others have been saying here. There haven't been any new OG Xbox games added in a very long time now. There have been no new announcements on the program. Same for 4K enhancements for 360 games. On top of that, Ryan Mccaffrey tweeted last night that the BC Team is working on the Xcloud streaming service now. I think BC may just be a trickle of 360 games (with no enhancements) now. I'd love to be wrong, of course.
Yup. Project xCloud uses Xbox One-based hardware, so work done for future titles to be supported by the service would inherently apply to consumer X1s and vice versa.
BC has been doomed since E3 2015.
Count me in too. Even I got the 1G achievement for beating Seraphic Queen in Infinite Mode. Was not a perfect game and I like it a lot ( and for more wishlist games I like Eternal Sonata, Final Fantasy XIII, The Last Remnant and some more games from Capcom like RE Code Veronica)
It's not just that though The other big factor is that there are a lot of Xbox 360 games compatible with Xbox One, so really what's left? Sure, we still have a few more big titles that aren't compatible yet, but aside from those, realistically what else is there? There's a good chance that our favorite games won't make it. There's going to be someone out there who has at least one Xbox 360 game that won't work with Xbox One. But we knew that going into this. Not every Xbox 360 game will be compatible. That's just how it's going to be, and with many of the big, popular games already compatible, it's natural for announcements of newer titles to slow down because there just aren't that many left.
Many of these games were not big sellers. Some games in your list are bigger than others, like Ninja Gaiden II and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, but others are very niche and/or didn't sell well when they originally released. You might care about them but I doubt there'd be a lot of others.
That's not the point I was making though. Cabela games very likely sold better than games like Nier and The Darkness, so there would be a higher chance of those being backwards compatible.
I'm not even really saying that per se myself, just that seems to be the case. It is really unfortunate and disappointing if so, because so few games ever got that treatment, and the ones that did looked amazing. It was truly one of the best and most compelling features of the X to me.
Fully agreed, shame some titles like Lost Odyssey or Blue Dragon didn't get the 4K treatment considering there's no PC version.
The specs on my pc are at least as powerful as xonex and I still want this.
