Absolutely a hit for me. I bought Stick of Truth when it was on sale for$5 and played and beat it on my Xbox one. I would have skipped it all together if it wasn't for BC (moved 360 to 8 year old daughters room.) looking forward to more games being on the BC list.
I love this game.
Backwards compatibility is important. If Sony could pull off ps3 BC it would be amazing. But if you can't pull off ps3 why not the best selling system of all time. Good job sony.
I'm sure it will once ubisoft agrees to it most likely after the sales of the newest "Creed" die down.
Same here I removed mine out of the living room and put it next to all my old systems in the back office. only the Xbox one and ps4 belong under my living room TV. I'm a little OCD with things like that. I don't like clutter so Backwards compatibility is amazing for me.
It absolutely matters in my opinion. It is the end of last generation and some good games have come out that I've missed. Now with BC I can now go back and play some of these games. Like Stick of Truth I missed it but now I am currently playing it in between my games of Fallout 4, that is great.
I love the Kinect. I can't count the number of times I've yelled "xbox volume down" while playing ps4 out of habit.
I was very late picking this one up. Just got it last month and I have to say it is very fun and graphics are very good.
WOW, I was not expecting it to be so drastic. I thought this was only going to be and up resolution and that it. Damn, Microsoft knows how to re-release a game.
NO. Hand held devices are ALL being slaughtered by mobile gaming. Just look at the Vita, that console should be killing it right now but it is not. Very sad...
It is worth noting that you should check GameFly used prices I just picked up Sunset Overdrive, Alien Isolation and Lords of the fallen for just $51 after taxes and shipping.
Backwards compatibility IS nessesarry because last gen is still very much alive. It would not matter if last gen died out a year or two ago but they are still releasing games so it very much matters.
Both Microsoft and Sony had great shows. Microsoft won it for me with the Backward compatibility, Gears 4, and Halo 5. But Sony almost won it for me. I mean Uncharted 4, FF7 AND ShenMue 3? The multipats are incredible too, Fallout 4, Tombraider, Starwars. I almost crapped myself. I'm going to be so broke this holiday season.
I'm willing to bet that the original won't make the backwards compatibility list.
I did a double take when he said backward compatibility. This is huge. I thought it would be impossible this gen due to the last gen hardware. Way to go Microsoft!
Reminds me of The New Order, which is a very good thing.
Everything on this list should be playable they are just HD re-releases. I don't even know if you can call them remasters.
If Shenmue 3 is announced I will lose my shit. Hell even an hd remake of shenmue 1 ando 2 would be amazing. I miss those games they were way way ahead of their time.
Maybe they will finally give RE2 the remake treatment it deserves. Ive been waiting for them to do with RE2 what they did with RE1.
I hope it is a reboot. The first game was so good.
