Xbox 360 Backward Compatibility Finalized
News for nerds writes "Microsoft has finally announced the list of the 213 Xbox 1 games playable on Xbox 360 at launch. A software emulator is required for each original Xbox game, which means you need an HDD for these games to work on Xbox 360. While it is expected that the list will grow in future via Live update, as of now it lacks first-party titles such as Project Gotham Racing, and other popular titles such as DOAU/X, Doom 3, Far Cry, KUF, Panzer Dragoon Orta, the Splinter Cell series, and the SW: Battlefront series." Xbox.com is also featuring an interview with Todd Homdahl about the quest for compatibility.
Yes, they've manage to not include in their list a SINGLE game I care about!
Seriously. Wow.
Its like someone looked at my rack of XBox games and picked everyone one I've finished to be compatible, and every one I haven't to not be.
*tinfoil hat*
They have the potential to be virtually 100% backwards compatible over time.
Yep. Endless potential. Do you work in real estate marketing?
To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem. ~ h2g2
According to sources from various dictionary publishers, the English word "lose" has only one letter "O".
Slashdotters worldwide are dumbfounded with the latest development.
Said one gentleman, under the condition of anonymity, "OMFG!!! R U joking??? ROFL!!!!!!1111oneone"
This announcement comes hot on the heels of recent news that "kernel" has no letter "A"
Perhaps you could put your obviously mammoth penis away. That would make space.
Oh no, that's just what you WANT us to think...
My Mind Is Rewired. Is Yours?
Tux Racer! Woo-freaking-hoo!
The Xbox 360 uses a treo of PowerPC processors to run games...
WOW this is totally incorrect. first of all, the XBOX 360 doesn't use a treo at all, to run ANYTHING. where the hell did you hear that?? second, the latest treo's use either intel's PXA270 chip or an ARM processor...and get this, the fastest of of those two processors is just 312 MHz!!! i'd like to see you play doom3 with that. and THIRD, even if MS decided to use a freakin' TREO in the XBOX 360...which as i said is totally ludicrous...how the hell are you going to fit 3 3.2 GHz PowerPC chips in a goddamn TREO?? have you seen the size of those things??
"I DARE you to make less sense!"
Wow. You have a lot of shitty games.
