  1. Universal Emulators Need To Be Allowed On XB1 If They Are Allowed On PC.


    I am not sure what Microsoft is doing here. I thought the goal was to integrate the PC and XB1 so they are closer together. Every time we make progress in creating a true app / program store Microsoft takes it away. Google's store has emulators, Microsoft's
    app store has emulators for PC, Apple has emulators but Microsoft does not.

    The question is if the XB1 is not going to be a true windows device that is fully capable or another WINDOWS RT or watered down version that no one wants as they do not even have the same app/program store as windows pcs which is already severely limited.
    It's simple, if Microsoft is going to continue to restrict the XB1's capabilities then we will have to stick with the PC (which gives you freedom/functionality) or Playstations (which everyone has). If they allowed XB1 Scorpio to do everything my PC can, that's
    great. At some point MSFT needs to learn they fully functional, capable and compatible devices are what consumers want. Learn from your history: Failures; Surface RT, WIndows Phones. Successes: Surface Pro. Same principles apply if Xbox 1 and windows phones.
    You want a device that can do it and run/do everything a pc can. Not a limited functionality device.

    Note: I do not have any emulators but I am tried of Microsoft producing limited functionality products year after year. At some point they need to make a true windows XB1 and a true windows phone (similar to the surface ideally with the old pocketpc windows
    interface as the new windows 10 interface is horrible). This is why I have a google phone, google tablet and ps4 (if you are going to have a limited device - might as well use the one with the better interface, graphics and with the user base with the market
    majority).

  2. Does Forza Motorsport 4 Work On Xbox 1?

    No sorry. As for emulation on a PC, not a chance. There no PC emulators that can play commercial 360 games - and, even if there were, you need one beast of a PC to run them - And of course, discussions
    about piracy are not allowed here.

    Live Gold account question

    You are allowed to be logged in on one 360 and one XB1 at a time. So you have nothing to fear.

  4. Universal Emulators Need To Be Allowed On XB1 If They Are Allowed On PC.

    I agree, Emulators and game engine apps would be great, we could finally play heretic / hexen and doom custom wads,Quake 1 etc on xbox

    People are saying MS only doing this to stay in Nintendos good books... whats the point, they have NEVER done anything to help MS , they stopped GE007 remake from happening even after MS/Rare offered to make Wii ver for them!!! they dont care about gamers
    AT ALL, it would be a massive selling point for xbox also

    I want to play star citizen on my Xbox series X. Is there an app?

    There are apps that allow PS5 users to stream PC games, but they still need a PC to run the game on, and then it needs to be streamed to the console, but there is no app that im aware off that would allow a Playstation to run PC games. The closest thing would be running emulators that run old PS1, SNES games etc, but nothing that can emulate a PC.

    Metal Gear HD Collection on demand. Where is Peace Walker?

    You can emulate a PS1 version on the PC. I will not discuss it here though. Messaging me will allow me to do so.

    Xbox Play Anywhere Clarification

    It's up to the developers - for example GoW4 will allow PC/XB1 CO-OP play, not competitive multiplayer.

    Meanwhile Forza Horizon 3 will support PC/XB1 in all game modes.
