Re: Backwards Compatibility: What's the Problem Microsoft & Sony

[DukeNukem2020]

I wouldn't mind Capcom Vs SNK 2 EO. I loved that game and that was the only one I had that wasn't BC with the XBOX 360...which SUCKS ASS. As well as DDR Ultramix.

[cobradvs]

Sweet shirt!

[gasmask80]

You fucking got a fking big ass head thump up!

[nintwiggy6491]

[alkiller1992]

[satsugekibukouken]

tank god tales of symphonia didn't come out for the Xbox lol

[iceyou88]

I believe once sony takes the ps2 off the market, they will return B/C to the ps3.

[lolmoper]

@cjasko94 gaming's never intense not even if you get paid for it

[TerryBogard675]

Yeah the original Xbox was pretty much a mess of off the shelf parts. I'm glad they learned from that.

[christon0123]

Nice video but I hate ur haircut

[ShadowriverUB]

You quite right on few thing but, you throw Sony issue in 360 fanboy way :p Sony also have problem with hardware i will describe why in my future video.

[crazywolfe2020]

iss the box 360 worth getting again? im thinking bout regetting the 360 for more games for it

[jvill4u]

"im gon give it to you"hahahah sam u da best

[hooflung128]

... They paid [Intel] and Nvidia one time to emulate....

[alielmir2]

is the april 15 thing is when origninal xbox games cant use live anymore?

[IrishGodThe4th]

the original xbox games on 260 ran like dogshit

[IrishGodThe4th]

@IrishGodThe4th lol i meant 360

[Muzteeg4m3]

but do ps1 games work on the ps3 slim?

[jubjub5721]

If microsoft makes it able to get Driv3r working on the 360, i will be happy. Until then, I hate microsoft

[hooflung128]

Xbox BC is basis on the fact not every game can use the same Emulation layer. Each game has to have specific features added and it became double work. It isn't about patents on the xbox hardware. They already paid Nvidia and Intel money for emulation rights...

[SamueltehG33k]

@hooflung128 what you said is true but they pay NVIDA and Intel for EACH game

[hooflung128]

@SamueltehG33k No you have a misconception of the reports of microsoft not owning the IP to the Nvidia or Intel chips. They do not have to pay emulation rights to each game. They paid Microsoft and Nvidia one time to emulate their hardware using the Xbox 360 software emulation. The same emulator is used for each game and the profiles for each game adds or subtracts what features need to be emulated. Some profiles are used on different games. They do not re-license each game.

[SamueltehG33k]

@hooflung128 really because taht's what MN and OXM have said is the reason for delays espically for Xbox Originals on the marketplace.

[thisithis]

watch?v=IoCD9TwLrVs

Damn, consoles have weak ass hardware.

[ninjakawasaki1972]

[Jinjonator1]

I'm glad at least Morrowind works.

[beshdave]

I've always wondered.....

What is that thing on your wall to the right of your head?

Looks kind of like the AoC collector's edition...?

[xkrazyxboix101]

If all the splintercell games weren't backwards compatible then i would be forced to snap bill gates neck.

[Leethellama]

another great vid sam!

[ViciousDave4Life]

True Samuel. Microsoft never got any rights to the Intel Pentium 3 or the Nvidia chip in the original Xbox. The Xbox 360 uses an ATI GPU, and an IBM triple core. The hardware is dramatically different! The same thing goes for the PS3, the hardware between last gen and this gen are so different, it just costs a lot of money for Sony and Microsoft to do any emulation or put original hardware compatible in there like the original PS3.

[SamueltehG33k]

@ViciousDave4Life not true on sony's end *points to original 80gb*

[ViciousDave4Life]

@SamueltehG33k I was talking about the launch 60GB and 20GB consoles. I still own a launch day 60GB PS3, and it still works and I have full backwards compatibility with all PS2 and PS1 games. But yeah, after the 80GB was launched out, BC was dead.

[lolmoper]

@ViciousDave4Life yeah but not to be mean or anything but your 60gb model is more prone to getting that hardware failure yellow light of death

[Zerosk8er32]

@SamueltehG33k wait when did u here news about a new xbox ??? and the processor it will use

[DukeNukem2020]

@SamueltehG33k Wasn't one of the earlier PS3 models Fully backwards compatible with PS2(and PS1 if I heard right) games? I heard the model still had the PS2 guts in it.

[xenocide8]

well Sony has an excuse for not having backwards compatability and people really should just stop with the bitching and moaning about it

also nice shirt sam

[Carlosson45]

is there gonna be a next gen ps3?

[xenocide8]

@Carlosson45 not sure what you mean, but they are making a playstation 4

[DOODExALEX]

It's really a simple solution. Buy a PS2/XBOX. They are dirt cheap if you can find someone who's selling theirs.

[killtrocity09]

wen u say next gen after 360 is it goin 2 b bc 4 xbox n 360 or just 360??

[4ncinator]

U know your xboxoleogy +1

[MentalRoXXorGear]

I think it's a shame PS2 BC was removed. I'd loved to have played my PS2 games in upscaled 720p on a BC PS3.

[NefariousVirtuoso]

I dont get the backwards compatibility big deal if you want to play PS2 and Xbox games buy a PS2 or Xbox ... not a PS3 and Xbox360.

[MentalRoXXorGear]

@NefariousVirtuoso

That's besides the point. PS2 had perfect BC and the Wii has Gamecube BC. It's fucking ridiculous the system marketed as a 'kiddie console' can do the thing that was advertised as a selling point for the PS3 which they later took out.

[Nickleo9]

I got my Xbox classic 7 years ago.

[Vleesball]

only one answer... GREED.

[SamueltehG33k]

@Vleesball spending thousands of dollars to let you play 200 xbox games so greedy.

[AmH032uTuBe]

@SamueltehG33k, don't you mean ATi/AMD and Nvidia.

The 360 uses a modded ATi X1650 Chip. Not cheap Intel Graphics.

[SamueltehG33k]

@AmH032uTuBe it uses an intel processor I never said it uses intel graphics

[MentalRoXXorGear]

@SamueltehG33k

Funny thing is they should have really just bought the rights to about 5 - Halo, Halo 2, Fable, Timesplitters 2, Timesplitters 3.

Don't ask. I'm on a 'Splitters nostalgia trip today.

[vipersnake2895]

@SamueltehG33k

200 not all.

[rubik224]

first ! I had to its rare to get a chance like this

[genuinecowhide]

@rubik224

not really
