Shorty Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Backwards compatibility. That's actually... pretty awesome. Like, I could buy an Xbone now.
Happenstance Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I thought it seemed like a good conference for MS fans but lacking in big suprises that could bring people across. Backwards compatibility is always interesting but one of those features that you realise you dont actually need a lot when you have it.
liger05 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 360 compability. Game changer!! MS just gave 360 owners a great reason to upgrade to XB1
Glen-i Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 It was OK. Then again, not really aimed at me. Personally, I think that Beyond Eyes game was the most intriguing of the lot.
Cube Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 I would gladly buy and Xbox One and spend £10-£15 each for enhanced ports of Jet Force Gemini and Blast Corps (like the great versions of BK, BT and PD) or other Rare games. The collection of emulated titles pretty much confirms that this won't happen this generation (or ever), which is a colossal disappointment for me.
Nolan Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 It was alright, Rare Collection is a good deal (funny how most of the games shown were N64 games). Backwards compatibility has me intrigued, but I'm sure it'll be a case by case thing with most games never getting support just like the 360's BC and then just being forgotten. Sea of Pirates looks cute and I'm glad they took Rare off of the Kinect leash, but honestly I couldn't care about the game. It didn't strike me at all, and 'Shared-World Adventure game turns me off a bit as well. Fable Legends looked...strange.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The Rare Collection is the sort of reason I picked up an Xbox for so looking forward to that. Just got a message that I'm in the Beta for Geara Ultimate edition! No idea if everyone gets that, but excited none the less!
Fierce_LiNk Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 I thought it was a very decent showing by Microsoft, but there's not enough there to tease me into getting an XboxOne. The one game which has me worried is Tomb Raider, I better be able to play it on the PS4 at some point. Nice to see Rare come out with something new. I wasn't sold on its concept, but it's good to see them out there.
liger05 Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The Gears demo was underwhelming. Too dark and the dialogue was boring. Backwards compability was able gamechanger I think. If it supports the vast library of games I think those 360 gamers still on the fence could now upgrade.

Cube Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Is that it? To start with, yes. I don't think it's quite as simple as them being able to just "turn them on".

Happenstance Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Its the same as they did for 360 with the original xbox and it just ended up drying up. I expect the exact same thing to happen here.
Kav Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Nothing to tempt me into buying one but a fair bit to enjoy and be happy about if you're already a One owner I think.
V. Amoleo Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Its the same as they did for 360 with the original xbox and it just ended up drying up. I expect the exact same thing to happen here. During the presentation they said it was just up to the publishers to say yes and then they can push a button to enable it. I hope that's true. Xbox emulation on the 360 was a nightmare and barely worked.
