    In an interview with Bit-Tech.Net, Richard Harris of ATI has revealed the very first details on how backward compatibility will work on the Xbox 360. Explaining the role ATI hardware will play in the process, Harris states:

     

    “They have implemented compatibility purely through emulation (at the CPU level). It looks like emulation profiles for each game are going to be stored on the hard drive, and I imagine that a certain number will ship with the system. They already have the infrastructure to distribute more profiles via Live, and more and more can be made available online periodically.”

    “Emulating the CPU isn’t really a difficult task. They have three 3GHz cores, so emulating one 733MHz chip is pretty easy. The real bottlenecks in the emulation are GPU calls – calls made specifically by games to the nVIDIA hardware in a certain way. General GPU instructions are easy to convert – an instruction to draw a triangle in a certain way will be pretty generic. However, it’s the odd cases, the proprietary routines that will cause hassle.”

     

     

    looks like they will be using emulation...

    I prefer playing RPG's, something I can waste $50 on and not have to waste another $50 for a few weeks or so. When Fable came out (since I own a X-box not a ps2) I was anxioxly waiting to play it, when I finaly did, it was the shortest RPG that I ever played storywise.

     

     

    thats because the guy who made it is a complete failure. He promised so much and gave us something u could beat in a day. Sure it was a nice SHORT rpg... but man ill never trust anything from him again. I want the true Project Ego not fable.

     

    Cant believe hes even got the nerve to release it to the pc.

     

    Xbox does have a couple rpgs worth playin though.. ive been needing to pick up jade empire.

     

    On the topic of PC gaming... i just dont dig it. If i can play the game on the console then thats where ill play it. I just feel irritated sitting at a desk and using a keyboard and mouse to play games (dont start on the mouse + keyboard stuff ive heard it enough sitting back and relaxing with a controler is just more of a fun gaming experince to me) Sure ill play one from time to time... but thats only if its a must have like hl2 and if hl2 was on a gaming console i would have probably played it twice as much.

    Same as last time, X-box had more power then ps2, were te games at tho?

     

     

    Xbox hss some good games.. hell we have most the fighting games emu people rave and they have xbox live functions as well. I got hooked on guiltygear xx reloaded for weeks.. lol to bad the japanese are so much better then us.

     

    All matters what u consider " good games " personly fps i can jump into for 20 minates online and then jump back off are great. How man of thos do u got on the ps2? Sure it may not have many rpgs.. but meh most i dont care for anyways. Morowind rocked though even if it wasnt graphicly good. (cant wait for oblivion on 360)..

     

    did anyone play forza?

    Make of it what you will, but be clear we know Microsoft has clearly slanted this info,

     

    Does that mean they tinkered with some of the info (microsoft not IGN)

    It means they presented it in a deceptive way to make their system come out on top as much as possible. The statistics they gave for their own system might be true, but they did a lot of guesswork on the PS3, and obviously they're going to "guess" in their own favor. They might also have left things out of the comparison that would drastically change the results, etc, etc, etc. In other words, they did not tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

     

    Whenever you see one of these comparisons released by ANY of the people involved in the comparison, just gobble down the whole damn salt shaker before you read. 99.9999% of the time they fudged to make the "home system" look like it's years ahead of the competition - whether it's true or not. For all intents and purposes, these are cleverly crafted deceptions created by somebody's marketting department - in other words, they're about as meaningful as a poster of some happily smiling model, who's probably never played a game in her life, posing with a controller over a hype slogan.

     

    You want real info? Wait until truly independent (IE, not being funded in any way by either company) third parties, with the equipment and know-how to scientifically test things, get ahold of both companies' release-spec machines.

     

    even if ms made it look like it in there favor atleast its not as bad as sony chart... making it out to be way way more stronger :huh: Ms gives u something thats atleast sorta believeable. The only game that looked that great on the ps3 was killzone 2 and everyone knows thats fake as hell and no way the makers of killzone 1 could pull that off.

     

    sony is hype hype hype and all the fanboys are eating it right up.

    this is how i see it.. they say BC. That means ur gona be able to play the top titles on the xbox 360 from the orginal disk without buying anything more. Like i mentioned before what most likely is the deal ur gona put the disk in and xbox live (the free one) will see the title and will download a new version of the xbe to the hd (which shouldnt be anymore then 10 mb) and then the game will play just like on the orginal xbox. See that makes since.. u will be able to play them for free without buying anything extra. Yes they may need to recompile a new xbe but the idea of making them pay for it? nah thats insane they would in no way shape or form call that BC.

    yes the processor may be ment for it.. but will ps2 have the layout and features that make xbox live so great.

     

    Ign on Kill zone 2 video

     

     

    And the damn controversy continues. Notice how no one ever comes out and says, "Dude, that's me playing." You know, we don't even get a simple, "The footage was generated using the in-game engine and a lot of cool scripting." We always just have to settle with, "Hey, look at out Killzone! It's what we intend Killzone to be." What does that even mean anyway?

     

    So now we come to it... What do IGN editors think. Is the Killzone video real? Will the game look like that?

     

    Jeremy Dunham - IGNPS2

    "I don't think so. I think the only way the game will look like that is if they spent several more years in development and knew how to exploit the PlayStation 3 to its fullest. I have no doubt that they can produce cutscenes that good, but then again, the cutscene gave that away!"

     

    Ed Lewis - IGNPS2

    "We're probably going to see similar type graphics...hopefully. Because that's what they're aiming for, but...oh man. Hopefully. I mean, right now it's just a concept video. What will it be? I don't know. It's way too early to tell."

     

    Ivan Sulic - IGNPS2

    "Hell no."

     

    Juan Castro - IGNCube

    "Yes. It will. On PS4... 2009. Or maybe 2015."

     

    David Clayman - IGNXbox

    "No. No. No. If that's the style of the game, it will look like that, but not at that level of quality. That had separate animations for every single movement. That is not a game. It was total CG. Those little things giveaway stuff like that real well."

     

    Doug Perry - IGNXbox

    "It doesn't look real to me, but it's what I want the game to look like and I hope. But I don't think the developer is capable of that, especially based on the first game."

     

    Stephen Butts - IGNPC

    "No. The video is real in the sense that it exists in this time continuum, but no, it does not reflect what the game will look like."

     

    Dan Adams - IGNPC

    "No."

    nah i think its gona be more like my idea. They will just need to get a new xbe to run on the xbox. If they had to buy a new game thats not BC. Thats porting. Why would ms say BC is they are just porting.

    nah most systems will be pretty hard to mod this round and even if they do get modded then the ps3 would get most of the attention. Why? the same reason the xbox got mod attention this round. Its power. The only reason the ps2 didnt get mod crazy cause there wasnt enough u could really do with it. Not fast enough for good emulation or a good media center. So if ps3 gets modded ofcourse everyone is gona run to it since... they hyped its cell power.

    I watch the sample from the sampler disc.

     

    Out of the game offered, I am more interested in NBA and Ridge Racer. The rest of the games just didn't turn me on.

     

    Until GG judgement and DMC though :P

     

     

    I got ridge racer... then i returned it 2 days later. Worse racing game in freakin history. There wasnt even racing it was just a game of catchup. U went like 100 and everyone was going 80. and the guy in first was like 3 laps ahead of u. Every one that reviewed the game is a freakin lyer the game should have got a C for crap.

    I dun like Wipeout Pure. I am not going to take it :P

     

     

    its pretty much the best game on the psp so far besides lumines.

     

    I downloaded it earlyer pretty cool.. cant wait for more. I also noticed that there was like info on dl music for the game. Then it kinda dawned on me.. if u can hold mp3s on the cards then why cant u have custom soundtracks like the xbox.

    Yeah, Microsoft can afford to take a hit on each console just like it did in the past generation, only ONE quarter brought in profit and that was when Halo 2 was released. It began to lose money right after than again. :D

     

     

    u guys tend to forget that sony is one of the largest companys in the world. Hell what percent of electronics do they make? Like i said before sony is money hungry. Look at the ps2.. its selling for 150 the same price as the xbox and we all know the xbox hardware is more expensive.

     

    dont act like sony dosnt have enough money.... they are fing rich bastards.

     

     

    sony is the MS of the japan... hell they are the MS of electronics all together.
