June 1, 2006 - Microsoft has been very vocal about its desire to support the first Xbox by making all original Xbox games backward compatible with the next-gen Xbox 360 system. The goal was to make every original Xbox game playable on the Xbox 360.
In May 2005 a PR manager for Xbox told GamesIndustry.biz that Microsoft's "goal is to have every Xbox game work on Xbox 360. You will NOT need to purchase a new 'version' -- your original games will work on Xbox 360."
Microsoft VP Peter Moore may be taking on the role of the fat lady and singing backward compatibility a fond farewell in a video interview available today on gaming website Kikizo.
"Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility." Moore said. "We under promised and over delivered on that. It's a very complicated thing... very complex work. I'm just stunned that we have hundreds of games that are backwards compatible. More are coming, but at some point, you just go, there's enough, let's move on, or people aren't as worried about a game being backwards compatible -- and I like to think we've upheld our end of the bargain in making at least two or maybe three hundred games backwards compatible."
In a recent interview with Microsoft Game Studios executive Shane Kim, however, told IGN the opposite -- that Microsoft was still planning on creating more backward compatible games. "We're going to continue to work on backward compatible games," Kim said in the interview. I mean, our goal is to make everything backward compatible. We're at over 200 now, and we're working on making them all backward compatible."
IGN contacted Microsoft to get the official word on the fate of backward compatibility and Xbox 360, but representatives didn't return our calls prior to deadline.
According to the Xbox website there are exactly 207 original Xbox titles that are playable on the Xbox 360. Some titles that are not currently backward compatible are Psychonauts, Lego Star Wars, and the Project Gotham Racing series.
Peter Moore went on to dish out new dirt in the next-gen console babble battle. "I think Nintendo's doing their job, in broadening the look and feel of what games are about for the consumer. And, you know, Sony wants sell high definition movies."
Moore clearly took issue with Sony's alliance with Blu-Ray, the next-generation optical disc format meant for high-density storage of high-definition video and data -- technology built into the PS3, along with a hefty price.
"It just doesn't seem like good business to burden the cost of the box and get back up to five or six hundred dollars because movie playback is the primary way that you're driving what should be a games business, into a movie format war business."
Moore also dismissed the PS3's ability to deliver output in 1080p, offering that 780p was plenty good enough for his personal home theater projector.
He went on to call out Sony's PS3 by hinting at an arguably inevitable price break for the Xbox 360 and the familiarity of launching a next-gen console in November with two SKUs and an online network.
We will be sure to update when we hear more. In the meantime, let us know what games you still want to see playable on the 360 in our forums.
=======================================================
肥女人(fat lady - 贬义的)"的角色了...
"没有人再会关心360的向后兼容性了."他说."我们是承诺过要做到向后兼容......但是这是一件很复杂的工程...也是很烦琐的事,我们(指360)已经可以兼容好几百种游戏了,这就足够了呀~只要享受次世代的游戏就好了,或者人们根本会不关心360到底能不能向后兼容,大家觉得我们是只能兼容两个游戏好呢?还是三百个?"
但是在最近对微软游戏部门执行经理Shane Kim的访问中他提出了完全相反的观点 - 微软还在计划(只是计划)让360拥有更多向下兼容的能力."我们还会继续让它(360)支持更多的游戏"他说,"我的意思是:让所有的游戏都兼容才是我们的目标!我们现在已经能兼容超过200种游戏了,我们还会继续努力."
IGN也试图联系微软官方想要确认以上的问题,但是始终没有回应.
微软官网上的数据显示已经有207种游戏能在360上运行,但是还有例如"乐高星球大战","PGR"等不能运行.
Peter Moore再次就次世代问题放出肥皂泡:"我觉得任天堂很努力的试图来增加玩家群,让玩家更好的感受游戏,而且,索尼也想将他们的高清能力做为卖点."
很明显Moore要说索有尼联合了蓝光,当然也联合了很高价格...
"很显然这根本就不是商人做的事情,他们想要把蓝光放到主机里只是为了来提供播放高清电影...他们正在把主机战演变成电影格式战."
Moore也没忘了提起PS3的的1080P能力,不过他表示对他自己的家庭影院来说720P足够了.
他也暗示了当PS3推出时360不可避免的会用价格压制(意思就是会降价 - by hinting).
如果有更多消息的话我们会继续更新的.
以上! . |
