I may have missed it but have MS offered any interviews or tech dives on how they've pulled this off? I remain in awe of the achievement

Self-modifying code was not allowed on 360. So it's likely a static recompilation.

I had Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed back in the day and it was such a great game. Now it is BC and it has to be one of the most interesting technical comparisons yet, because I think the game ran with an uncapped framerate, trying to hit 60 fps but never achieving them. I wonder if the Xbox One can pull that off.

Four new titles added. I have 2 of them, but my SF IV version is the Ultra, so it isn't bc yet. Luxor 2 is, quite a fun game. The indie poker game was a sleeper afaik!!

Xone version hammers X360 version again, framerate wise.

Xone version hammers X360 version again, framerate wise.

From almost never reaching the target framerate to basically locked 30 bar a few framepacing issues. Impressive!

I guess the game was heavily GPU-limited on the 360.

FC3 on the PC was very hard on lower end CPUs

it's really impressive how much it improved, I'm kind of looking forward to see how the Scorpio is going to improve One and 360 games.

The new games added to the list are (total bc games stand at 354 games, afaik):

• Civilization Revolution

[*]Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
