I simply said the following :-
“We knew about Series X not running Xbox One X versions of BC games months ago” – Fact, regardless of how you want to spin it about batches. 20 games (the ones in the list) run the Xbox One code, like you said, but as stated by the teams themselves, this is to enable FPS boost.
It is only an issue, for those that want the FPS boost, along with the One X enhancements, for the majority, they will take the sacrifice of resolution downgrades, to play at a higher framerate, if that is what they want.
Best explained by the article itself :-
“Unfortunately, FPS Boost has hard limits because no game code is being touched. If a game doesn’t run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can’t adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate.”
So what they are essentially saying, is they can not reprogram games they do not own, to enable the resolution to be stable, along with using FPS boost, so they have to use the base code, to enable the doubling of framerate.
If they started delving and dabbling in other games source code, they will have a mightily fine and hefty lawsuit coming there way.
This will only be addressed for the 20 games in question, via a developer patch. Expect these to be fixed in due course as and when.
But to label things as “lackluster upgrades” when there is only 1 upgrade involved FPS boost, is nothing short of fanboyish.
