So when *Program Manager Emily Hanson* stated “Not all titles will be supported” you’re saying that it’s not the case?

Yes it is the case. She would know due to being the program manager. And IF she gave out incorrect info MS would have corrected her statement ♦and they didn’t☺♦

Have to laugh at all the sniping between Sony and Microsoft owned consoles. You lot don’t know how lucky you are having two quality consoles and PC gaming that equals them. Haven’t owned a console since my Atari 800XL which I still have gathering dust. So imagine new games coming out for C64, Spectum and Amstrad and missing out your console more often than not. Recently I got back into gaming when I bought Skyrim because it was basically the 15 year old kid in me had wanted since I was, well 15. I thought my gaming days were over but seeing people around my own age like Dara O’Briian, Charlie Brooker, Graham Linehan still game I decided to get back into it. First I started on Steam and soon enjoyed the delights of Assassins Creed, LA Noire, GTA IV, Mass Effect and then I went and bought an Xbox One, now I’ll be able to play those games eventually (and not worry about setting it to the lowest specs to run)and others I’ve missed on my Xbox One so yeah, to me this is a great idea. Like I said, you lot don’t know how lucky you are.

In reply to AsianGamer. Ha, you should have been around in the Commodore 64, Spectrum, Amstrad, Atari, BBC Micro days. Kids fell out with each other over which platform they owned.

Not a case of being “supported” – it’s a matter of licences – they’ve already said all games will be available as long as the companies that own the rights allow it. Some companies will have gone under so it will be unlikely their games will be available, but the only thing holding them back is the licence.

If you never owned a 360 (like myself) and the first console I bought in many years was an Xbox One then this is brilliant news. Played many games on PC but now I’ll be able to get them on my Xbox One so that’s games like LA Noire, GTA III – IV, Assassins Creed I-III, Black Ops I & 2, Mass Effect 1-3 etc…the list is exhaustive. So for someone like myself this is fantastic.

Driveclub is not one of Sonys main I.p like halo is for Microsoft.
343 themselves said how shot halo MCC was 🙂

In reply to drjonesjnr. You fail to understand Drive Club was delayed a year!!!!! A year and they still weren't able to fix it or even complete it. As compensation they give a few scant bits on on disc DLC. Microsoft fixes Halo completely in a few months and gives out free Live, free map, and free Halo ODST.

No its fixed, since around late Jan I haven’t experienced a single issue. If you want to talk broke look no further then Sony’s Drive Club. The online is still a bit broken and that game was delayed a year! To top it off the game even shipped incomplete since it didn’t have the amazing weather effects they bragged about at launch.

Even Sony’s Little Big Planet 3 has issues. Then again part 2 was no different as its online component had lag which made it mostly unplayable in co-op. Im not sure if they’ve fixed that. As for 343, they’ve done an amazing job with Halo. The MCC did launch with bugs yes, but they made the mistake of no beta and the fact that they rushed it for Christmas had a huge part to play. The free ODST and map more then made up for it. Much better then the scant content they gave for Drive Club.
