These backward compatible games with enhancements are fantastic. SSX 3 is the same game i remember playing on a blurry scart input, now with X rendering magic making it look pristine! Yes some of the textures are a little basic but overall it looks really good. Easily as good as some of these released 'remasters' that are all the rage at the moment!

no people disagree with that because you bought a $500 console to play decade old games. Don't twist the disagrees to fit your agenda. many gamers have a problem with xbox fanbase baseless defense of xbox/ms. They will praise the smallest of things in defense of their purchase, instead of demanding more for your purchase you are settling and asking others to expect less

if after 18 years of being in this industry ms still doesn't get it and don't have many 1st party games than they need to realize that and fix it. Releasing old games shouldn't count for not releasing new games

so yeah i clicked the disagree because i disagree with you 10000000%

this is coming from someone who bough OG xbox over PS2. MS showed potential and cared but now it's all about the GAAS and old re-release

xbox one will finish a distant 3rd to ps4 and switch and it deserves every thing that's gone wrong with the brand and it's fanbase. Have fun playing oh i mean waiting on rare to fix SOT

Unfortunately the Sony fanboys bleat on and on about the same thing... lack of exclusives. I have a PS4 too and I use it to play game like The Last Of Us and Horizon. But the fact of the matter is that my gaming time over the last year (at a guess) looks something like this;

PUBG 50+ hours
Titanfall 2 50+ hours
Call of Duty 50+ hours
Last of Us remastered 10 hours
Horizon zero dawn 10 hours
(Amongst others)
Back compat titles - maybe 50 hours in total

... basically storyline based exclusives are great but they don’t come close to the gaming time I spend playing online multiplayer games. I think that’s probably the case for many gamers. So personally I’d rather have the best of both worlds, but exclusives are not the be all and end all, in fact far from it - they make up a small percentage of my gaming time.

And I didn’t buy a £500 console (actually £399) to play just BC titles. I bought it to play PUBG, and multi platform titles in the best quality possible. So stop twisting the argument to suit YOUR agenda!

Bottom line, I prefer my xbox, you prefer your PS4, who gives a toss just enjoy it.

exactly my point keep settling. You want me to believe you have a ps4 and you rather play BC games for more hours than actual new games.

to each their own i am glad sony/nintendo don't think like ms otherwise gamin would suck

@sizeofyou

If you don't see a huge difference in Red Dead Redemption you need your eyes checked. The enhancements to that game are astonishing.

you and all the rest are clowns who be on here everyday attacking Microsoft Xbox one x

Responding to chaos-emeralds. Off topic if his comments are.
As for getting the games up and running...if you're impressed by the power of MS (but more likely, 3rd parties, hoping to sell additional copies) getting games from 8 years ago running on a platform of MS (with common architecture) two iteration newer then you have your own opinion. I hold mine.
Roll on E3. I STILL hope MS are good to their word, have been busy behind the scenes and can make their own hardware shine.

@neutralgamer1992

You talk like older critically acclaimed games that maybe we missed at the time or want to revisit are somehow not worth our time as much as new games. By that logic lets delete Jurassic Park (wow) from our movie libraries because we have Jurassic World (ugh). At least it has more modern special effects, eh?

I'm glad Microsoft DON'T think like Sony and Nintendo, because if they did we wouldn't have EA Access, Backwards Compatibility for some absolute classics, a 6TF console, Play Anywhere, Game Preview (PUBG for one)

Sure you can rattle a list of couter arguments that Ninty and Sony bring to gaming, but thats the exact point I'm making... competition is healthy as it brings lots of different options. Those of us that are lucky enough to own all three consoles get a great range on entertainment. What's to complain about?

Sony clearly also subscribe to the theory that people love playing last gen games, otherwise why did they invest so much in Playstation NOW?
