Gamescom Announcements: More BC Than you can Shake a Stick At
Some good announcements from Gamescom today, check out the following:
Kotaku – It looks like all these Xbox 360 games will soon run on the One
Now, if you click on More, well I’ll try to summarize what all this means. Continue reading “Gamescom Announcements: More BC Than you can Shake a Stick At”
BC Update 8/3/15 – Gears of War series added to BC, Shadow Complex too!
As in the news that should surprise no one: All the Gears of War Games Will Be Backwards Compatible on Xbox One; I have added the Gears of War series to the Spreadsheets and Website table. In addition, percentages have been adjusted for Rainbow Six I/II, Overlord I/II and NCAA Football 2014 upwards while Condemned I/II, Nier, and Killer is Dead have taken a tumble downwards.
12:00pm update: Apparently I don’t read enough because Shadow Complex was added as well to the BC list. I actually own this one, but not sure I have a reason to revisit it. Still more titles is always good.
Enjoy 🙂
7/31 Update on Backwards Compatibility Voting
Welcome to the 2nd iteration of Backwards Compatibility Voting. This week, we see a lot of votes being smoothed out and lots of familiar faces among the Top 15. A couple of new ones too. Also, no more mistakes, I double checked everything this time I swear. Pinkie swear even.
If you would like a copy of the file that these votes are stored in, please click here: Backwards-votes

7/24 Update on Backwards Compatibility Voting
Alright, so continuing on this Xbox 360 to One BC train, I thought I would do a little analysis. This first iteration is weekly (8 days close enough), but we’ll see how much time I have to update this. Basically, take votes from the previous week, go over the top 15 and the bottom. Discuss trends and all of that fun stuff. Let’s dive inside.

Announcement: Xbox 360 to One Backwards Compatibility Page
If you look straight above to the top of the page, you will see a new tab next to About Me called Xbox 360 to One BC. As mentioned in my article:Thoughts About Xbox 360 to One Backwards Compatibility , I was going to expand on that topic. Here is my first improvement, a dedicated page. Included is a table with the game name, developer, publisher, and guess at the % likelihood (99% – Lock, 1% – Snowball). Then as time goes on (if it happens), I would record that it was backwards compatible and the date it happened.
Update: July 21st, 2015 – All developer/publisher information is now filled in. I have added the ones already available in the Preview Program. Simply sort the list by BC, and there they are. Notice, they have a “Preview” in the date column because these games are only available to those in the Preview Program. I’ll update it with a real date once it becomes available to everybody.
Some Thoughts about Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility to the One
We will call this article a deviation of sorts. I am sure everybody has heard the news by now that Microsoft is implementing Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility into the Xbox One. And most people know that you can actually vote for which games get the go-ahead for implementation. I figured since I’m huge on this concept that we would make a fun chart of all the games I voted on and realistically judged based on public votes and what I know if it has a chance to get the golden ticket. Then, the great part is once a game actually gets “voted in” so to speak, we’ll update this column and see how good I am at predicting.

Coming Soon to Kedrix.net: Blogpost Recordings
Yes, in celebration of my first private voice acting class that I had this past Friday with Jim Conlan, I will be going back (as part of practice) and recording my previous blogs as time allows. The main thing that came out of the class was while I had a very strong voice (no surprise), but I do have a very untrained voice which needs practice (and lots of it). So my microphone should be in on Tuesday (An AudioTechnica 2020 Plus / USB), and we will start with the newer blogs and work backwards. Maybe we will even get to some of my older & newer creative stuff. We shall see :).
July 17th Update: I hate saying it, but this is on hold. I’m focusing more on writing right now and of course my fantastic family. This is still my goal, just don’t expect it next week. Thank you 🙂

Ready for a snappy intro? How about this, I have not written one of these in six months and really regret it. The problem is, I ran into a little issue, somewhere between the fact I was quickly approaching 40, I gained an amazing wife and we had a perfect little son. Before you ask, this is not going to be some dad blog where I prate on for pages and pages about how wonderful it is to be a father. It’s great, it’s wonderful, there is not a better person I could have done it with, but its not my style. Let’s dip into life and what’s going in my little corner of the world. Sure there will be dad bits, but it won’t be a dad bit.

December 22nd, 2014
Just a few days here from that day known as Christmas to many, Happy Holidays to others, and a few some four letter words that we try and refrain from using because we forgot to get that somebody special a Christmas gift. And it’s always that person that has not gotten you a gift in years but somehow decided to give you something this year. So therefore, you are scrambling around for something that makes sense but that’s not going to cripple your bank account. Anyway, moving onward and upward, let’s talk about other things.

November 25th, 2014
So this should be a much shorter blog and I really am using this as a vehicle to get a couple of things off my chest. Also, it is one day before Thanksgiving and we are going to go quick hits on all of my thoughts before that faithful day. This will be a bit different from my usual blogs, so let’s go shall we?
