could microsoft make the xbox 360 game DARK backwards compatibility or remaster it for xbox one

Hi,

Because Dark Souls 2 has not been made backwards compatible. Making a 360 game BC with the Xbox One is hard work and MS need approval from the developer/publisher. There is a remastered version of Dark Souls II for Xbox One.

One could argue that a developer has the responsibility to make a game backwards compatible if the game that they are currently developing is a sequel to a game that is not backwards compatible, or a remaster of a game that was not originally on Xbox systems
but had sequels that were.

I imagine most "top games" from the 360 will at some point be remade and remastered for the xbox one.

Easy money for the developers and microsoft, it wouldn`t make sense from a business stand point to ever make it backwards compatible.

The "Backwards Compatibility" only exists for games that they have told the XBox ONE to recognise as "Backwards Compatible".

Most of the games on the XBox 360 simply will not work on the XBox ONE.

Microsoft will claim the reason they can't make everything available at once is that they need a Publisher's permission to make the game Backwards Compatible.

But the real reason Backwards Compatibility exists is to lure XBox 360 owners who have been on the fence for a while into the false supposition that they will be able to play their 360 games on the ONE.

If you could do that... why not buy a ONE?

IF Skyrim is the Xbox 360 version of the game, then that will not work on the Xbox One as the game is not backward compatible. If you want to play it, then you will either have to use an Xbox 360 or purchase the Xbox One remastered version of the game.
