Publishers must "opt in".

 

They hope for 100 games by launch later this year.

 

I really hope this does not set in motion XBL's retirement from 360...

 

People are so excited over BC.  Personally, I remember how BC went on the Xbox 360.  It sucked, and was abandoned fairly quickly.  Maybe I'm an old cynic but that announcement seemed more like an appeasement thing than anything else to me.  Hopefully I'm wrong and they learned their lesson.  Maybe they had foresight with the 360 code and made it fairly easy to translate if the need arose.

People keep bringing that up but it doesn't sound like it's the same BC setup at all.  Before MS had to patch Xbox games to run on the 360, this time no code has to be touched, I think they're just running the 360 OS on the Xbox One in a VM instance, because the XB1 runs on a hyperviser already, it'd be easy to just toss in the 360 OS and have it boot up when you run a game.

, but I wouldn't be anymore

you I wouldn't be anymore what? 

 

if they ever do that i would be extremely surprised.  even last gen x360 games outside of xbox does not seem to be achievable by legal means.    even 360 to One is already seem hard enough for them, legally. They need to get permission for each individual game.

Agreed, it sounds completely different.

They said it will be available today... not right away...  it could be tonight before we get BC update.

there's a list of games that are supported right now. Unfortunately, I don't have any of them.

Thanks for the recap Andrew. I had to run to a meeting, so I couldn't keep watching the feed.

 

Just in from work. Avoided spoilers! Time to watch this, and then try and inject coffee into my eyeballs for Sony later.

 

edit: PvZ2, *insert swear word* yeah! Got my plat in PvZ <3

Mass Effect: Andromeda!

 

Wasn't sure what they were going to name it but I knew about the setting about a year ago from an inside source in Montreal.

Wuh? Where did you see this?

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.

    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      A McDonald's restaurant uses about 1.5 to 2 million gallons of water per year for operations like food preparation, cleaning, and restrooms. That is a lot less than the 2,083 gallons of water per megawatt hour mentioned above.
