Support NeoGAF

[Bogroll]

Cool

 

[lynux3]

I guess this means Xbox Series X will also only support 100 games at launch, right guys, right!?!

Little did they know that Microsoft is in the same boat.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I could count my favorite games from Xbone on one hand. Are you sure it took that long?

 

[Hendrick's]

MiyazakiHatesKojima is torn up over that sexy box.

 

[Vawn]

So basically the same as PS4. "Most" games.

 

[ethomaz]

Same as PS5... BC games needs to be tested and fixed if needed.

How will have more BC games at launch?
Well who put more money in a bigger team for BC tests.

Suck wasted money that Sony took the bait.

Should have focused that money in new IPs development.

Imagine what you can do with 100k hours in a new IP

 

[Nemesis Prime]

This is what I call strong messaging. Microsoft is not playing around this gen

 

[Hosam6xavi]

So basically the same as PS4. "Most" games.

Xbox og + 360 + Xbox one

Unlike sony with just PS4

 

[Discusguy]

Love the confidence and transparency Xbox team is bringing. None of that silent sneaky crap and pr speak

 

[Codes 208]

So basically the same as PS4. "Most" games.

sony has around 100 confirmed titles working bia BC while this states xbox has thousands (including games from the og xbox and 360, which increases the overall library as ps5 will likely be strictly bc to ps4.)

 

[Breakage]

When it comes to BC tech, MS is way ahead. It's Sony's BC support that's more of a concern. From what I have read full PS4 BC isn't even guaranteed at the moment. I was surprised by that.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

So basically the same as PS4. "Most" games.

While we are still in the process of validating, we can confirm thousands of games will be playable at launch.

If MS dropped a zero from their total and changed the lead digit to "1", then yeah, they have the same number of BC games.

 

[cireza]

Great work from Microsoft and the BC team as expected.

And by the way...
thousands > hundred

 

[hunthunt]

Same as Ps5 then, im ok with that.

 

[Bernkastel]

The Goal of the team today is to make every single game that you play on Xbox One taday work on Scarlet. Ensuring every game that runs on Xbox is gonna run incredibly well on Scarlet takes a ton of commitment and time

Inside Xbox Series X: the full specs

This is it. After months of teaser trailers, blog posts and even the occasional leak, we can finally reveal firm, hard …

• And some impressive compatibility features, including automated HDR for older games!

They are enhancing everything that runs on Xbox One including backwards compatibility.

 

[M1chl]

Shilling continues, obviously they meant all X1 games and some of the older titles. Unlike PS4, there are enhanced things in play. So much salt in these thread it's incredible.

Sony clarified that most of the 4000+ PS4 games should work at launch including testing done on the top 100.

Meanwhile, Xbox clarified when they said "all Xbox One" games means "most".

THIS.

 

[Rockondevil]

It's obviously going to be what the current situation is. That being it'll play all Xbox one Games and a shit load from previous gens.
I'm sure some of the really old games on all platforms have some licensing issues and companies not existing anymore to allow them.
I'm glad they're continuing their efforts to BC for the people who want it.

 

[Goliathy]

They believe that most (not all) will work. They are not sure with that. They just „believe“.
But let’s just trust them - or just wait until launch. Who knows?! Anything can happen.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

So basically kinda-same situation as PS5 but much further ahead in terms of confirmed games that are actually working on their system?

That's certainly reassuring; hopefully Sony can get at least around 500-1000 PS4 games confirmed compatible and running on PS5 by the time it launches. The question is do they have the means, organization and time to do it especially with the current corona BS?

Guess we'll find out.

 

[Tiamat2san]

THIS.

All Xbox one games.
All the 360 games that already backward compatible (hundreds) and Xbox original that are also already compatible.
That’s just a lot more than PS5 and it is across multiple generations.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Microsoft have yet to finish validating games for the Series X so they won't be offering full backwards compatibility either!

This fanboy lark is easy

 

[njean777]

I trust MS way more than Sony when it comes to BC as they have proven this last gen that they actually care. Will be getting the XSX day one.

 

[Plague Doctor]

This along with the PS5 news is fine. Stop the console war and acting like either CEO kicked your door down, coughed in your face, and punched your dog. Play where you want to play. Enjoy your games. Wash your hands. Move on with life.

Edit: Seriously this tribal bullshit is fucking dumb to the rest of us.

Fun Fact: I had this long before Corona!

Did Mark Cerny REVEAL the SHAPE of the PlayStation 5 Console AND BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY in the most SUBTLE way possible? (Visual Proof ITT!!!)

This is NOT a troll thread. When I saw this slide during the morning GDC presentation, I was a bit intrigued by this slide for two things: The Shape of that object resembles ALOT like a traditional console, especially the PlayStation 3 Slim....speaking of which...... The fact that the slide...

They have repeatedly confirmed all Xbox One games(including backwards compatible titles) will be available.

 

[CJY]

They have repeatedly confirmed all Xbox One games(including backwards compatible titles) will be available.

Read the tweet in OP. They are still testing. So are Sony. I think it's pretty definitive that not all games will be compatible at launch.

Xbox lied and are now backpedalling. For shame. Bless honest Mark Cerny. Love that guy.

 

[Bernkastel]

Read the tweet in OP. They are still testing. So are Sony.

And they have said everything will be available by launch.

 

[CJY]

And they have said everything will be available by launch.

HUH? they said "thousands of games will be available at launch", not all or "everything"

 

[Bernkastel]

HUH? they said "thousands of games will be available at launch", not all or "everything"

They have said everything, not once but multiple times.

 

[CJY]

They have said everything, not once but multiple times.

Then they lied multiple times. And you're calling their official Twitter a liar now too.

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

I hope they add more BC OG Xbox and 360 games to the list. Jet Set Radio Future is sitting on my shelve collecting dust.

 

[MadchesterManc]

They have repeatedly confirmed all Xbox One games(including backwards compatible titles) will be available.

To be honest I don't doubt that they will by launch, same with Sony as well. If you look at the tweet tho it states they are still validating games, so I was just making a play on those daft "Sony only have 100 games BC for Ps5" type posts that are always posted lately

 

[Bernkastel]

Then they lied multiple times. And you're calling their official Twitter a liar now too.

I trust Microsoft more than Sony when it comes to backwards compatibility. And stop taking that tweet out of context. That tweet was a reply to a guy asking for clarification on "all games" , so they said it meant all Xbox One games(including backwards compatibility) and they are testing all of them.

 

[CJY]

They have said everything, not once but multiple times.

The way I see it, they are in the exact same boat as Sony. They both has Jaguar CPUs last time and Zen2 this time. I think everything Cerny said about BC also applies to MS. MS may have flooded more resources into testing, but they are in the same boat.

OG Xbox - 360 BC is different as it's a purely software driven solution that they have complete control of, whereas with XBone, they rely on AMD and the games run directly on the metal.

Don't be so obtuse and stubborn man. He clearly said thousands. It would have been a lot easier for him to say "every game", "all games", "100%", but he didn't. End of story.

 

[Mokus]

Well, this obvious when you don't include the original hardware. It's a must so you can tweak the software that will help with the BC, since the games were designed for a different hardware combination.

 

[SirTerry-T]

"Validating" may be a licensing/re-licensing issue maybe?

 

[CatLady]

I guess this means Xbox Series X will also only support 100 games at launch, right guys, right!?!

Little did they know that Microsoft is in the same boat.

They're in the same boat? Has Sony recently announced that PS 1, 2 & 3 games will be backward compatible on the PS5, I must have missed it?

And 1000s of games now = 100? Must be new math.

 

[TBiddy]

Don't be so obtuse and stubborn man. He clearly said thousands. It would have been a lot easier for him to say "every game", "all games", "100%", but he didn't. End of story.

All games would imply 360 and OG Xbox as well. All XB1 games will be available.

I was talking exclusively about testing and verifying Xbox One and PS4 compatibility.

 

[Mokus]

I think(!) it's about avoiding legal issues with fals advertisement.

 

[CatLady]

That's curious because I thought I read:
"I guess this means Xbox Series X will also only support 100 games at launch, right guys, right!?!"

I must be seeing things in addition to not understanding new math

It was clearly meant as a joke at the expense of those people ignorant and gloating about PS5 only supporting 100 games when it was clear (at least to me) that wasn't the case.

 

[ethomaz]

Sony clarified that most of the 4000+ PS4 games should work at launch including testing done on the top 100.

Meanwhile, Xbox clarified when they said "all Xbox One" games means "most".

Truth.

Both take the same path.
More money, bigger team = more games ready.

 

[ethomaz]

You don’t need 100k hours of gameplay to validade a license lol
