Alex49H Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 @Dillinger I know I ordered 2 Scuf controllers for my Xbox One. The first one didn't come with the trigger stops so they just shipped them to me to install myself but they didn't fit properly or were for the 360. The second one I decided to cancel after about a week of emailing back and forth. To my surprise they refunded me for the second one and sent it to me anyway. For that I am grateful for all the headaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium2001 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 @Dillinger That is good your wife got out of MSFT! You might look at Battle Beaver Controllers. Less expensive than a Scuf and just as good! Talk to the owner directly Chris he is good people! Plus you do not have to wait as long or deal with that horrible CS from Scuf. Chris knows how to treat his clients!Always liked a good beaver battle. If you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PharmDawgg Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The only games available for backwards compatibility are as follows: A Kingdom of Keflings A World of Keflings Alien Hominid HD Banjo Kazooie Banjo Tooie BattleBlock Theater Defense Grid Geometry Wars Evolved Hexic HD Jetpac Refuelled Kameo Mass Effect N+ Perfect Dark Perfect Dark Zero Super Meat Boy* Toy Soldiers: Cold War Toy Soldiers Viva Piñata Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise Zuma Xbox is continuing to add more titles. Not all titles will be supported but be patient. Only Xbox preview members can actually experience this currently and it is to be released for everyone I believe in the fall.

Dirty Dog Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd play the 2 Perfect dark games. Not much else tickles my fancy, but they're sure to add more titles - I hope.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Microsoft said the developers do not have to do a thing they just have to say yes and they will add them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted June 17, 2015 Administrators Share Posted June 17, 2015 I know GTA V is on Xbox One already but I have it for 360 and really don't want to buy it again, hope they add it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 You never know they might but if i was rockstar then i would not as it would be lost revenue, I do not think any developer that has made a HD version of an old 360 for the One will let the old title play, hey i could be wrong.

Dirty Dog Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That's what I was thinking. They'll be looking at the numbers, and if it's not stacked in their favour it won't be happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JConnor Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is that list seriously the list? O.o If you notice, it's not just various genres, but different types of games that vary in complexity from 2D games like Geometry Wars, to full 3D games like Mass Effect. This is on purpose to iron out the bugs of the porting process and get tools and a work flow in place for the more complex and popular games e.g. CoD, Gears of War, R6 Vegas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said that they created totally virtual 360 and the games are running on an emulator. I tried it out last night and I'll be honest it looks pretty damn good. Atta Xbox.

I thought this wasn't coming until later this year? Or is that for certain titles and there are early edition games from the 90's that are already carried over?

PharmDawgg Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Xbox Preview Program is how Microsoft tests new Xbox One software ideas and services before they’re available to everyone else. It’s completely voluntary and users don’t get paid for joining. What they do get are early looks at features coming before anyone else outside of Microsoft does. Microsoft updated the Xbox One’s software in some form around 10 times last year at least; Xbox Preview Program members got those updates before they were made available to anyone else. In exchange for getting new features before anyone else, Microsoft asks Preview Program members to test out new features and provide feedback. Usually, that’s through Xbox Preview Program forums, but last year Microsoft also launched a Preview Program app and dashboard that allows users to pass on their comments and critiques without picking up their smartphone or PC. Take this year’s first Xbox One update for example. Today, Xbox Preview Program members are testing transparent tiles that lets users see more of their backgrounds. In a survey about the feature Microsoft asks users to rate the feature and whether adding different levels of transparency might make it a bit easier to use. If you’re looking for an easy way to get the latest and greatest features without issues, the Xbox Preview Program isn’t for you either. Again, users who participate in the program are getting access to features that others don’t have yet. With that comes bugs. Last year, Xbox Preview Program members actually received an update that reset their console. Every game, every app, every setting had to be changed again. What’s more, Xbox Preview Program participants can’t decide that they don’t want an upgrade and still play online. The update needs to be downloaded or you’re forced to play offline until you’re ready to make the upgrade. If all that wasn’t enough, you can’t easily get out of the Xbox Preview Program. When users decide they don’t want their console participating anymore, they have to wait until the next release to exit the program. Finally, there are a lot of updates involved. Usually, Xbox Preview Program participants only see one update a month. Other times, they could see a few in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Xbox One isn't as bad as a lot of people make it out to be. It's not perfect, and MS focus on a multimedia device vs. a gaming machine was not a good choice this generation, but for what it is, I feel it does the job, OK. I am a CoD fanatic, so XB1 is the platform to get if you like the early DLC, etc... Even if there are more players on PS4. I also own a PS4, and while more powerful, the only reason I bought it was because I could upgrade the hard drive to 1TB, since I buy all my games digitally now with no discs. I also like owning both because this means no exclusive titles, either. However, for certain games nothing beats the PC due to the raw power e.g. Witcher 3. I started out on PC many eons ago when Dinos walked the Earth, have been through every console since the Atari 2600, and am not quitting PC gaming any time soon. On the other hand, I am a realist and know the player base and post-sales support for certain franchises is now aimed squarely at consoles, so this gives me the best of both worlds.
