No, it is a simple recompile, from the original source code

Didn’t they use static recompilation?

The Xbox 360 uses a processor with a different instruction set which means the executable on the disc simply isn’t compatible with the Xbox One and Series X|S. For those, Microsoft have worked with game vendors to convert the executable (from binary, not source) to the other platform: “static recompilation”. The new executable must be downloaded to play the game.

For the Xbox One, the architecture is very similar to the Series X|S so it can mostly just run it like you can run Windows 7 games on Windows 11 with compatibility tweaks applied by the operating system.

Why do they have one at all if they’re going to blatantly not comply

Yes! I got it again on PS1 a while back and still like to play it.

Very excited for this! Playroom was such a delight and I can’t wait to get more of it. (Now please can we get Sackboy 2 ☺️)

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe and I’m loving it. People might have been tired of the presentation but Nintendo fans ought tot look beyond that - it has great level design, difficulty, secrets and a super tough challenge mode that’ll keep me busy for a while.

Super Mario Odyssey, wrapping up the moons 4 years after finishing. Not sure if that’s for me, but giving it a chance.

Final Fantasy XVI. Just started, liking it so far.

I love platforming / secret finding games like this and Astro Bot’s Playroom was a lot of fun. Definitely in for more of that!

(But really I want another Sackboy, it’s perfect for multiplayer)

Lots, mostly due to a gaming weekend with a friend! Mainly;

• Super Mario Wonder (Switch). Finished it way back but was stuck on the completion road. Got all but one of the medals now!

• Okami (PS3, 4). Gifted it to that friend after finishing it after a 10 year hiatus. What a gem! We played a bit more of it together.

• Final Fantasy XII (Switch). Just a few hours in, not sure what to think of it yet. I’m not a big RPG fan, she is. I certainly like the setting and style.

• Train Valley 1 and 2 (Linux). Completed the first. It was good but also addictive in a bad way to me.

Okami! Please, more!

I didn’t mind 3 but 2 will be my first and greatest love in this series! The first was also fun but a bit more difficult to parse visually imo.

This is very exciting! I’ve played and enjoyed each of these games a bunch and will certainly get this when it comes out. Don’t care much for creative stuff but more Bit Trip is always better 😁

A sticker of cute dogs in space suits and the caption “we want fully automated intergalactic luxury gay space communism” because it reminds me of Ian M. Banks - also gets a laugh out of people 😁
