Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Every Xbox One game that doesn't utilize the Kinect accessory (only 48 games are incompatible)
577 Xbox 360 Games
41 OG Xbox Games

Go Go Neo Rangers!
a new modern hardware running last/cross-gen better...
Don’t take that for granted though, I mean PS5 can’t play PS1, PS2 nor PS3 games. And ALL PS4 games, except 100 games, will run exactly the same on PS5, so not at all better, compared to PS4.

I wonder how many people are going to kill themselves when Microsoft’s black cube outsells the PlayStation.

Hate to be that guy, but I played Sekiro at 4K/60fps flawlessly on my PC (with a 3 year old 1080TI and a Ryzen 3700X) and Hitman... pretty damn near that.

What time is it?
The performance gains are nice. I was just digging at GTA4 which is a terrible game.
BC is going to give performance boosts, but like Richard said, those games are never going to take advantage of Series X architecture.

Well, the point is, my GPU isn't giving you state of the art 2020 architecture either.
I'm not too impressed by this despite DF's claim it is "hugely impressive."

Yessss. I can't wait to jump into no man's sky without the stuttering. 1440p mode for me!

You dont really understand whats happening then.

Well, the point is, the games running on your CPU/GPU are taking full advantage of your hardware. That's not the case with BC via Series X. This is a step between accurate emulation of the old system and a native port to the new system. You shouldn't judge the strength of Series X based on performance of last generation titles.

If it was bloodborne running at a locked 60fps would you be impressed?

I don't really care about the power of the system, but more about the experience it brings. So... I've been judging the Series X based on everything I've seen from it so far, which is pretty much universally underwhelming. Add this to the list.

This is without any patching you dolt.

Probably because it's handled so poorly on team blue.
bender

To be fair, we don't know what Sony's BC looks like. That lack of knowledge is troubling within itself and it's a safe bet to expect it will not be as advanced as what Microsoft is doing.

No because it should automatically do that because the hardware is significantly better assuming it’s not a locked 30fps. Nice try though

Good point, I'll reserve judgement of the PS5's abilities until I've actually seen it running.
I was mostly just going off of how poorly the PS4 handled it's ill-fated PS2 backwards compatibility program, and how it relied on streaming to bridge the gap for PS3 games.

Do you need patches on Steam when you upgrade your rig?
Given how the modern game development has gone largely multiplat and highly streamlined, performance boost flops by flops without any patch should be guaranteed.
I just feel Xbox's target sets too high and too ambitious at 4k 60fps with a dated hardware comparing what Nvidia is offering now, should have gone 1440p 60fps like the PS5 does with Demon Souls.

Tbh I wouldn't qualify those results as "hugely impressive"; that's very good of course (having 60 fps whenever possible), but that's expected now. I may have been spoiled by the BC program on One though, which was actually "hugely impressive" then since most people didn't even expect it to exist to begin with.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
not bad
Hardly locked but its significantly better, unless hes talking about the high frame rate mode?
