I'm pretty sure when they originally announced Xbox 1 games on the Xbox One, it was specifically underlined that the servers would stay down. Did they say otherwise this time around?

4K patches for Portal 2, RDR2 and Gears of War 2, though.

But seriously despite everyone saying Breakdown is an experience almost no one will buy it much less finish it

Welp, time to start another playthrough of RDR, I guess. Shame we never got a PC port, but playing the game at 4K on the BoneX should be pretty nice.

I'm assuming Rockstar still hasn't fixed the game-breaking bugs in Undead Nightmare, because they're too busy making all the money with GTA Online.

RDR is so good, I've played it twice now - once on release, again when it came out on Back Compat - and I always quit midway through because "I don't want it to end".... might be time to finally play it to the finale now.

I never had any issues and I got to the game pretty late, so they must have patched it at some point. :shrug:

Rockstar broke it with the last RDR title update in 2014. Which is fair enough since by that point nobody was playing RDR, but then it was made playable on the Bone and Undead Nightmare wasn't fixed, so the game still shits itself unless you roll back to an unpatched version (obviously not possible on the Bone). After 15 minutes or so, the zombies become invisible aside from their clothes and behave like normal enemies, the game crashes, saves get corrupted, and all that fun stuff.

This also happens on PS3.

Does the regular Bone get any upgrades for 360 games? Or is it just "we barely got this working, here you go." I would figure if they could make them run at 4K on the X, they could make them run at 1080p on the regular bone.

Most 360 games run smoother and at higher average frame rates than they did on the original hardware. And if the title did dynamic resolution scaling on the original hardware they'll stay at higher resolution more often on the bone even the non x.

They don't seem to have explicitly added 1080p modes to former 720p games that have 4k upgrade on the X, but those games should still run better than they did before.

So are they just running the 720p textures at 4K instead of making new 4K textures? Should’ve just bought a ps4.

Depends on the games but usually the original assets were designed for higher resolution than their final console release did, so they do look significantly better than you'd think just from that. Then some of the more important games get engine tweaks to do hdr and straight up new in game assets to take advantage of that.

Eg a lot of games on the 360/ps3 would have graphics made that were originally designed for 1080p rendering (possible higher res for a PC port too) and then it's time to ship and the games only stable at 1024x600 rendering or similar. Hell there's a bunch of Xbox/PS2 titles that would be seen mostly in 480 or rarely 720, but the games also in development for PC so all the assets can handle a nice big 1600x1200 fancy gamer CRT.

Honestly, the 360 Xbox One X enhanced games look like remasters from my experience. They look fantastic. Better than a lot of Xbox One games. I'm pumped to see RDR.

I believe on the Xbone you lose access to all GWGs when your sub runs out, including Xbox 360 games. On a real 360 you keep them permanently.

The one X would be a killer deal for anyone looking to replay some of these old games if they would drop the price a little bit. The more people that might get to play gems like Jade Empire the better!
