check this movie and note the "xbox 1 zone" playing fable!!!


time index 3:11

Well, to be fair, they didn't mention much of anything. I know I said that if they didn't say anything then it didn't look good. But really, they didn't say anything about anything.

Confimed harddrive means it's possible.

a lot of info and specs buried here, but nothing on BC...

It was a craptacular unveiling, somehow I knew it was inevitable because of MTV's involvement.

I take it back!!~

If you look at the bottom it says insert disc, there isn't a game in the console. The Fable pic is the avatar from what I've seen of other gamercard screenshots.

The picture of Fable is a person's gamertag picture, you dolt.

//edit: Beaten. Oh well.

Confirmed indeed...

OOH! OOH!!! But here's something I JUST NOW noticed.. going frame by frame in the MOV file, lookie what I found..

Aside from my "Scorch" watermark, what image do you see?




Hmmm...

/edit: It could either be playing the new Halo (it looks like there's something written under that 'Halo'..) or it could be someone playing Halo or Halo 2.. and if it's the latter, that would confirm backward compatibility.. but given the fact that it has a logo on a Live section, i'd have to say that it's the new Halo..

*churns rumor mill*

thats was a cool video...but nothing is being confirmed. but hopefully it will be backwards compatable.

Really if it is backward compatable i think they would make it a big deal but what do i know.

I must be blind, I don't see them outright saying it will be backwards.
E3 come on baby :P

Stop the video at the 4:32 point and u see Halo 2 download options!

something is only "confirmed" once microsoft announces it. so chill, they said they're announcing it at e3.

Gamespot's opinion:

I wouldn't make any assumptions about anything that hasn't been explicitly stated. Offering a theory is one thing but letting belief guide you before facts is another.

Yeah, I'll be pretty pissed too.

But if it is BC, then Microsoft will have to come up with an easy way for us to transfer our saves from our Xbox to the 360.

They could sell a BC kit, with a cable that went from USB to the XBOX1 controller slot. You could just treat the 360HDD as a memory card or something.

/always thinkin'

It is possible that the console will be backward compatible but not immediately. The method I described elsewhere could be very time intensive in terms of running the games while analyzing their behavior and tweaking the emulator in response. Then the creation of several hundred translation profiles, each requiring a big time investment. Keeping the cost of this under controll means having a limited number of personnel dedicated to the effort. Depending on how long it takes to get the emulator ready first before final translation profiles can be created the whole thing may have to wait until after launch and be a download from XBL Silver. Even then it might appear with just a small number of profiles for the most popular titles with other appearing over time. They may see fit to give some titles a miss entirely.

How many will complain if Kabuki Warriors isn't among the supported titles?
