Yes on Xbox One. 360 games don't work like that, so can't see them in the vault.

I don't think how digital licensing worked on Xbox 360 will have any effect on how emulated Xbox 360 games run on Xbox One to be honest

CatInABox · 26-06-2015 03:25PM

Yes, each 360 game on the Xbox One is actually wrapped in a emulator package, meaning that for all intents and purposes, it's viewed as an Xbox One game. That's how the Xbox One functions(twitch, etc) still work on those old games.

There'll be no problem doing anything they want with those games.

How long did it take them to add FIFA 15 to this when it was released?

It was added on May 8th. Released September 23rd of last year so it took 7 months, 15 days.

When is PGA tour out in IE?

HMV/Xtravision say 15th July.
Smyths says 16th July.
Xbox.com says 16th July.
Gamestop says 16th July.

Anyone know if I was to pre-order it at the weekend, would I still be eligable for the 10 hours early access?

Here's what Xbox.com says. Doesn't look like they're too sure either.

The 10hr early access is only available to subscribers of 'EA Access' on Xbone as far as I understand.

Ah here! Sometime that week so I guess

Yeah, I have access, but if I preorder do I lose my early access 10hr trial?

Sorry, the question is easier to understand in my head, if I'm not explaining that right!

No. As long as you have EA Access you can play your 10 hours regardless of if you have it pre-ordered or not.

Thanks, I figured that was the case, just wondering if anyone had experience of that being true

MiskyBoyy · 02-07-2015 05:02PM

I had Battlefield Hardline pre-ordered & pre-loaded and was still able to play my 10 hour trial no problem.

It wouldn't make sense to punish you for being a loyal customer & that's what it would be really.

marcbrophy · 02-07-2015 05:29PM

Just the fact that Access was kinda tacked onto xbox's store interface, you'd never know what kinda bugs might be in the system

Thanks dude!

Downloading Rory McIlroy now as it says its available for trial,hopefully 10 hours! No doubt it won't be as good as the golf club though!

marcbrophy · 09-07-2015 01:58AM

Gonna try play it now as have it downloaded from when i pre-ordered it.
Hopefully I'll get the 10 hours before release day

Yeah it is 10 hours. Enjoy

marcbrophy · 09-07-2015 02:16AM

It's working

You can choose between 3 swing styles!
Much better for me as I love the 3-click system!

poeticmakaveli · 09-07-2015 02:55AM

This intro is doing my head in!! Is this going to be another 49 under game!!!!?

if you sign up to that you'll get a free 1 month trial for ea access(code takes a couple of days to arrive), I just signed up myself on my other gamertag as I've been looking to try out ea access for awhile now.

Already have it! 24.99 for the year is a no brainer!

No longer taking submissions.

Similar offer last week by a toronto team I think.

For that 1 you had to download their app on your phone to sign up for the offer.

At this rate, we'll have a year for free if we bother with the free codes :pac:

Snake Plisken · 09-07-2015 02:35PM

So lads is it any good? I really didn't like the golf club, I hope this is more fun like the old Tiger Woods games!

B_Sharp · 09-07-2015 02:44PM

Does the McIlroy trial take long to download? Or what size is it I suppose would be the smarter question?

I don't suppose there's a way I can log into Access at work and queue the download like with the normal Microsoft store?

As with all Ea Access trials it's the full game. You unlock achievements and all.

So it's 26.6GB to download. All depends on how fast your internet is.

Not that I know of unless you maybe try check it on smartglass and see if it has option to download trial there? Then as long as you have instant on and it set to start downloading it might.

I never got a confirmation email or anything when I submitted my details on the form - is this normal?

KevinMunster12 · 09-07-2015 06:42PM

I didn't either but hopefully it's normal and we'll get a code in a couple of days.

Maybe it was common knowledge but it was surprising to see Parcel Storm from BF4 as a course

.

Played one hole on custom, not too fond of not being able to zoom the camera which was turned off in the option I selected(custom)
Hopefully you can zoom without the ball line (Similar to The Golf Club), it would be a happy medium as the line is cheap but looking at the top view map is too hard.
Its not like a golfer can't walk up ahead for a look.

The swing on left analogue is tough too but I'm sure that can be altered, I just skipped the intro and played one hole.

Doesn't feel like it will disappoint anyway even after an absence and system change.
Hopefully the option to buy dlc courses with coins earned in game is there ala TW a few years back, that would be a big selling point for me.

marcbrophy · 09-07-2015 09:42PM

You can zoom by clicking in L3, once you have already pressed Y, I think

Do the intro again if you can, it's not very boring and pretty helpful

You have to try win the US Open (?) and I didn't and he started talking about bouncing back from failures! haha

Then I saw the BF course and played the full 18. I got 50G achievement for it too!
