TL:DR If the backward compatible versions of the Forza games run well, would you still play them?
I was digging out the Xbox 360 today and applying the years worth of neglected updates so I could fire up Forza 4 and build my garage up to 300 cars in order to stack up some money in Forza 6.
As I looked at some of the past paint jobs I'd made and cars I'd forgotten, I was really amazed once again at what Turn 10 had pulled off with the 360. I know it's 720p, but it's a solid 60 fps, and the car models are just outstanding, and the tracks are great.
It got me thinking about the backward compatibility. I believe the past Forzas are slated for inclusion, being a Microsoft studio you'd hope they would put their flagship titles on, and hopefully being a Microsoft studio, they run well.
I'm on the preview program and recently tried Perfect Dark Zero. The game runs somewhere between poor and garbage. But I'm aware this was also a launch title, poorly optimized.
60 fps is really a cornerstone of the main series at this point (I know Horizon is 30, but it's rock solid), and I wondered if the emulation would be able to keep up.
Moreover I wondered if the simulation is tied into the framerate, and so any fluctuations down to 40ish fps could result in rubber banding.
I looked around for any articles or data to see if anywhere has had a preview of it yet, but it seems just a few mentions of it at E3 nothing more.
So... if it ran well, would you still play Forza 4 or 3? Or has the time passed for you?
