Only thing I remember from PDZ was the arrows in Campaign telling you where to go all the time, and the really cool jump jet suits in Mutliplayer.

Yeah I remember being so lost throughout the entire game and those arrows hand holding me , was funny x sad

Multiplayer was amazing , I hope Rare replay has online modes cause I wanna replay it so bad
 
For some reason I was able to download full versions of Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie despite only ever having the trial versions on 360. If I view the games on the Xbox web store now it confirms that I've never purchased them. Weird.
 
Just FYI

Thank you for participating in the Xbox One Preview program and helping us test Backward Compatibility! We’ve received great feedback from participants thus far and are working hard on several improvements to the experience.

We’d like to let you know about an upcoming change that will require action on your part. If you have installed any of the titles listed below, please read on for info on how to keep playing:

  • Viva Piñata
  • Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise
  • Perfect Dark
  • Perfect Dark Zero
  • Kameo: Elements of Power
  • Jetpac Refuelled
  • Banjo-Kazooie
  • Banjo-Tooie

If you have any of these titles, you’ll need to uninstall and reinstall the title to continue playing.

For assistance uninstalling titles, please refer to this page on Xbox Support. Once you’ve uninstalled the title, you can reinstall it from My games & apps > Games > Ready to Install.

NOTE: Reinstalling a title won’t impact its Xbox 360 saves.

Can anyone confirm that these titles are running better (in any way) now?

They obviously made some improvements to the emulation process.

I almost feel like buying some 360 games on the slight chance I ever get an Xbox One and they're BC compatible

That's what I did this summer when Game closed down in Sweden and had crazy low prices on everything, bought about 15 Xbox 360 games (which will probably never arrive on the BC list with my luck :/)

I just downloaded the demos.

Didn't work for me

I bought Mass Effect from the Xbox Site a few days ago, got in the preview program and now I'm officially in. Does it take a few days until you can try BC?

Perfect Dark chugged when you looked down the elevator shafts in the first level and it still does after uninstalling and reinstalling.
Also you still can't upload screenshots from it and it's still 1080p downscaled to 720p.
 
Son of a....argh

I would love to have Tales and Red Dead digitally instead of on disc.

The wife and I LITERALLY made an agreement to not spend ANYTHING on any unnecessary item as we're saving every dime towards moving/buying a new house.

Made the agreement with each other last night...ugh.

Any idea on how long RDR and ToV will be "on sale"????

stick to it.

You will enjoy your new house more than a game.
 
insane deal on ToV. I would imagine since it was one of the exclusive 360 rpg's that it will make the BC list. Going to get that and RDR.

If you own the discs then stick with them IMO, or if you really want to go digital sell the discs this week and use the cash on the digital versions.

The sale is until next tuesday when the store updates again.

That's good...they're so cheap, I'll sell something cheap to justify buying it...lol. Maybe hit up ebay/bts thread.
 
I really want to buy Tales...but I'm going to feel really stupid if this never ends up as XB1 BC lol. I haven't owned a 360 in quite awhile. For $5 though, it's probably worth the gamble.
 
I just got this message from Xbox via my phone

I'm at work and can't check my console. Anyone know what this is about?

how soon would you say is "very shortly"?

I thought you lost your method aswell? honestly I'm a bit confused as to what's going on lol
Click to expand...

I've got other places I can go, it's just a matter of time before I get another more concrete confirmation. Right now I'm simply looking at patterns.

I wonder if there's any chance of them sorting out compatibility with PAL discs.
Click to expand...

I don't think there are that many games that had PAL issues.
Everything was 60hz by default, there were a few games that had true 50hz support which would cause problems with some setups (VGA cables mainly), but I'd imagine that they would just force all games to recognise a standard 60hz setup as this is now a requirement for the Xbox One anyway.

Unrelated really, but during my deep dive I've come across a couple of interesting bits being tested
