Fallout 3 shows Xbox One backward compatibility at its best

Eurogamer:
Microsoft released its new Xbox One dashboard this week, bringing with it the full public release of its remarkable Xbox 360 backward compatibility feature. An initial 104 titles are available, including Bethesda's Fallout 3, which is also given away free with the Xbox One version of its sequel [Update: Note - this is a pre-order bonus and the code expires 90 days after Fallout 4's launch]. Once the current release mania has died down a little, we'll be taking a deeper look into the Xbox One backward compatibility feature, but we couldn't resist looking at Fallout 3 ahead of time - and first impressions are favourable.

MS has some of the best software engineers in the world. The guys incharge of BC on Xbox One should be given a raise. Awesome stuff

RiseofScorpio3856d ago

Very true, the wait for Skyrim is unbearable i have the DLC lock and loaded.

annoyedgamer3856d ago

I am still waiting for MW2. That will be a blast to play on XB1, at least we get Blop1 to hold us over until then.

HaydenJameSmith3856d ago

Runs better on Xbox One through emulation... that's amazing. Great Job MS!!! Hopefully they can deliver that sort of quality to most BC titles...

BattleAxe3856d ago

Anyone know when we're supposed to get Gears 1,2,3 and Judgement for buying the Gears Ultimate Edition?

muzikjunkie803855d ago

can already download gears of war 1 and judgement. im in the uk

rigo85823855d ago

I agree. I didn't think they could have it be playable. The fact that its playable and offers a pretty good experience is just amazing to me.

Don't know what DF is on about with code redemption. I did mine through the xbox one without a hitch. Strange.

raggy-rocket3856d ago (Edited 3856d ago )

Don't hate me, but I never played Fallout 3. Playing through it before 4. Working amazing on back compat.

holysmokesbatman3856d ago

You're in for a treat... Takes a while to really get going though.

fattyuk3856d ago

and then when it does,

lol

"oh ill just walk over here quickly, ill have a quick look here etcetc 8 hours later oO )

Oh man...

OVERENCUMBERED.COM

Painful decisions of what piece of crap to drop lol

GearSkiN3856d ago

I played fallout 3 till I can control the baby. Thats it.. Dunno if I'll get fallout 4 but I have 3 on BC.

nowitzki20043855d ago

Get Fallout 4. Its amazing.

rigo85823855d ago

It does take alittle while to get the hang of it. I would also say get all the DLC for it. They enhance the game alot. Its a nice amount of content. Its not just some skins and or a mission or two.

timlot3856d ago

Surprised this is over 100 degrees. Positive XB1 news is usually meet with a cold chill.

Chrisgamerguy3856d ago

Its true it runs great on the one. I haven't set aside enough money for fallout 4 yet so I've been playing 3 again on my one and I'm hooked all over again. It froze one time for my friend but overall it runs so much faster. The loading times r triple and fast as they were on 360

etownone3856d ago

Sounds awesome...

Hopefully Mass Effect will be BC and see the same benefits.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart147d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7146d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989147d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_147d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg147d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher147d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1147d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76219d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8219d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac219d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage218d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro407d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
