'Halo: Reach' Fails to Deliver Premium Experience on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility Feature
The Xbox One backwards compatibility feature has been a huge hit, but not all of the featured games delivered a premium experience to Xbox One gamers.
According to Kotaku, one of the most anticipated backwards compatibility game, "Halo: Reach," delivered a disappointing framerate on Xbox One.
A Reddit user even complained about the game, saying that it's unplayable. One of the major problems with the game's framerate has been the player's inability to accurately aim at its enemies. Apparently, the game falters and pulls down the quality of the video, causing players to really fail on targeting their foes.
On the game's easy mode, the framerate drops to as low as 10 fps, especially when there are several enemies on the screen and when doing Legendary and going invincible, Concussion Rifle blasts become too many, making it hard to control the Spartan.
Other gamers experienced a lethargic controller because of the low framerate. While some were able to tolerate the 10 fps, some just wouldn't buy the idea of playing "Halo: Reach" on Xbox One. For a game that requires a lot of aiming, for them, it was a major setback.
According to Attack of the Fan Boy, "Halo: Reach" on Xbox One is not totally unplayable, but what's really annoying is the fact that it slows down when the fps drops.
Compared to "Halo 5: Guardians" that runs on 60 fps, "Halo: Reach" dips to as low as 10 fps on Xbox One, causing significant a slowdown on gameplay. While "Halo: Reach" suffered some fps glitch, other featured games such as "Mass Effect: Andromeda" delivered an excellent gaming experience, which is even more satisfying than playing it from its home console, the Xbox 360.
Game emulations react in many different ways and with "Halo: Reach," it just couldn't be better. Players expect excellent graphics and framerate on Xbox One, but this is not the case for the said game. Reddit users even suggested that "Halo: Reach" should be removed from the backwards compatibility feature and just have it remastered. The video game is not totally unplayable, but it generally delivers a low-quality experience to gamers, especially when most of them expects the graphics to be better than its Xbox 360 version.
