Keiji Inafune game with robot doggies and blue cores! Looks interesting as a concept.

[Badnik Mechanic]

That dog stole Issac Clarks face.

Recore looks... interesting, but come on a 2016 release and no game play?

[Covskin]

Recore looks interesting. Inafune and the makers of Metroid Prime going as a Microsoft exclusive?

 

Hoping the core idea elevates the game above standard shooting (grappling hook better be in-game, not just cutscenes).

[Gabz Girl]

Looks like I missed Halo 5 and just caught this other game with a boy and his robot dog. Recore looks great actually, and it's Inafune-San so what could possibly go wrong?!

Omfg backwards compatibility!!

[Badnik Mechanic]

20p says that Phil Spencer has an announcement printed on his shirt under that running jacket.

[Kevin]

Backwards compatibility! Well done, Microsoft!

[Badnik Mechanic]

Backwards compatible!? Holy crap mega ton!!!

[Nepenthe]

*chokes*

WE'RE GETTING BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY?! VIVA PINATA LIVES ON FOR ME!

[Scar]

Amazing.

 

They actually dropped the BC bomb. Major wreckage.

[Badnik Mechanic]

OMG! Sonic 06 om Xbox One!

[Covskin]

Be interesting to see how fast games get the treatment, but if this is for free, this is bloody huge.

[Nepenthe]

I think it would've been better timing to have the controller come first- Wait, you can swap out parts? Huh.

[Ming Ming Hatsune]

It's a limited launch. Not all 360 games will be playable at launch.

[Scar]

Bethesda. Hmmmm

It's a limited launch. Not all 360 games will be playable at launch.

 

I'm assuming this is because its not that easy to make backwards compatibility work.

[TCB]

Backwards compatibility?

Guys you know what this means

...

FINALLY YOU CAN PLAY SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2006 ON THE XBOX ONE

[Gabz Girl]

How the hell is Sony gonna beat THAT? Backwards compatibility makes me wanna buy Xbone more.

Wow, Fallout 4 looks really pretty and colourful. Not sure about the voiced protagonist though.

[Badnik Mechanic]

"Running on a next generation version "

So not an Xbox one then?

Wait what... if it's 200 years later.. how is the vault dweller alive?

Me who cares. It shall be mine...! On PS4...

[Scar]

BC, I'm assuming will work similarly to how it worked on X360 for the OG Xbox.

 

Sony will have a hard time doing the exact same thing, given how absurdly awkward the PS3's architecture was. Best they could do is emulation. Native would require some programming genius and would probably work for selected titles - as is the case with XBOne.

[Gabz Girl]

I think he meant 200 years after the bombs dropped. XP

So Fallout 4 doesn't look 100% next gen, but it still seems fun as hell. And so COLOURFUL.

Backwards compatibility?

...nope. Sega has to approve first.

 

Until that happens, you can't play it on XONE.

[Covskin]

Mods on the Xbox for free now? Wonder if that will branch beyond Bethedsa games in future.

[KrazyBean]

PvZ Garden Warfare sequel confirmed.

[Nepenthe]

Never was a Plants vs. Zombies person, particularly since it's riddled with inhibitive microtransactions. Maube they've loosened up on that?

*Remembers it's EA*

Oh......

[Badnik Mechanic]

It's a car.

[Covskin]

A shiny car.
