Xbox boss demands that old games remain executable

Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch - how to play Even more beautiful, even bigger — the new Next gene consoles allow developers to put completely new standards for games. But Xbox boss Phil Spencer also has another area in view: retro games. Many old games are no longer running on modern systems — and that s exactly what he wants to change.

Xbox boss speaks for better retro support

Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series consoles provide downward compatibility — but only limited. Not batch wise all the games of past generations can be played on the new consoles, which inevitably leads to it that some retro games can soon no longer be gambled on modern systems.

Phil Spencer is also aware of this problem and mentioned in a message that he hopes that the entire game industry is dedicated to a solution :

I think we can learn from history how we came here through the creative. I love it in music. I love movies and television, and there are good reasons for games to follow. (...)

My hope (and I think I have to be this now) is that we are working as an industry on a legal emulation that allows it to start modern hardware, any (within a reasonable frame) to start older executable file, so one Match can play.

In other words: Spencer hopes that developers and publishers soon offer the players the opportunity to emulate all old games legally on new systems :

I think if we say, Hey, everyone should be able to buy or possess every game, and continue to play, then that would be a great northern star for us as an industry.

The current emulation level

Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, Gog and Co. already offer the players the opportunity to execute and play some games on the PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and the PC — but This support is often limited to the appropriate platform.

A magnificent legal method to emulate about The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time natively to emulate on an Android smartphone is not available at the moment. If you want to play the classic on the way, you must inevitably access switch and also buy the expansion package for the switch online service.

Whether the industry involved in the near future thus further expanding the support for retro games on modern consoles remains to be seen. After all, Microsoft is progressing with good example and advanced the selection of downward-compatible games on the Xbox Series and Xbox One by 70 more games.

WoW: Legion-Zeitwanderung

Hopefully soon on the live servers of Wow launching patch 9.1.5 is fully in the sign of the player s wishes and brings a whole pile of relief. But it is not about making the game easier and mitigating its challenges. It s about reducing the crowd of unnecessary time that you spend in Wow without having fun. Less Grind, less repetitions with twinks, less effort to finally tackle the content that makes fun. Of course, twink friendliness is a large part of it and therefore we see a lot of relief for our second and third characters with patch 9.1.5. From skipping the campaigns to more opportunities to secure us experience points. And the latter is a thorn in many players. Because no matter how many ways we can earn the XP: Up to the maximum level, it will continue to take some time - although significantly less than before. How many players there are no fun of the Levelweg with twinks, and who only want to bring their other characters into the final, showed the incident with the experien...

Aytekin: I missed the respect in the package

In Gladbach Mon Dahoud saw in the 40th minute yellow-red - ultimately a key scene of the game (0: 1). Sebastian Kehl described the punishment with Sky as completely exaggerated. For such a thing he does not have to give a yellow-red. Referee Deniz Aytekin admitted that one could consider the card single-stroked considered too hard : But I was about something completely different. We have earned a minimum of respect, the impartial and complained that such a thing Behavior now be considered self-evident and as nothing bad . He did not want that. It s stupid to give the referee the chance to make a wrong decision. Mats Hummels The 43-year-old pointed out that he had admonished a few minutes before GUERreiro because of her off. I declared him unequivocally that I just do not want this behavior in the square. Then came the second action of Dahoud. In the sum, this disrespect for me was too much. I missed the respect in the package. I do not want that, that s why I set this sign. ...
