Why hello

Still waiting on that Shadow Complex and Mirror's Edge.

Yup, he already said not to expect new games during Preview.

His tweet: Preview as really us working on emulation, not the portfolio, with the way BC works it's more about getting emulation right.

His follow up tweet literally says they will have new games in the preview.

Is this love—that I'm feelin' ♥

 

[cool_dude]

Yes! Castle Crashers was great!

 

[EvB]

I think what is really interesting about this one is that it is getting an HD update very shortly.

It's almost as if they are encouraging devs to make the original versions of the game available regardless of what they happen to have planned.

 

[JehutyRunner]

BO2 is a better game than RDR.

...I like you. Because you speak the truth.

 

[Detective]

Guys, anybody knows how I can re-download my 360 games?

If your a Preview member they should show up in the ready to install list which you can find in the games and apps section.

I wonder if Castle Crashers Remastered will sell well or if people will just wait until the fall to play the original version. The Behemoth would be wise to provide a deep discount to current owners.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Month is almost over and we havent seen a new bunch of games... i mean why not test more games publicly?

 

[pizzacat]

I don't see the point of them holding these games captive. This is a beta program. Let us test something worthwhile

No problem

I'm betting Gamescom Announcement.

My current feelings about BC

Gotta give then respect for enabling BC though. I bet we'll see quite a few publishers deny BC for games that have been remastered, so any that does earns a spot in my good book.

 

[NavyPharaoh]

Anyone else purchase RDR digitally for $7.49 in anticipation of backward compatibility?

Yes! For some reason I couldn't buy it with My Microsoft money. Didn't stop me tho

every time this thread is bumped i think "OH NEW GAMES"

now im doing it too.

just pull the trigger ms. do it. DOOOO ITT.

Really hope Hydro Thunder Hurricane makes it. Got a feeling we'll never have another boat arcade racer on consoles.

Found Borderlands on a recently played list - My PAL disc still shows as unplayable though.

Yeaah Borderlands was confirmed when first announced

Give us some more games MS !!

JUST DO IT.

I hope Tomb Raider Legend, Anniversary and Underworld get put on there too. Since MS is close with TR I guess they'll be up.

 

[KappaFappa]

Gamescom has to have all these games "today we're expanding that library with Gears of War, Reach, etc and they are available to download right now".

 

[RoKKeR]

I'd certainly like to think so.

Just grabbed RDR digitally so I can have it wherever.

 

[LowSignal]

castle crashers works now? between Street fighter V beta and this I can wait to get home.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Gamescom has to have all these games "today we're expanding that library with Gears of War, Reach, etc and they are available to download right now".

I feel that would be a weird announcement.

"We're expanding our BC selection....

....for preview members only!"

I'm sure more games will be added before the official launch but I don't think MS is going to use their stage to announce something that only applies to a small portion of their audience.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Maybe 'We're opening BC to the public for beta testing with a short amount of titles'

The ones we have now but include

- Mirrors Edge
- Borderlands
- Shadow Complex
- Super Meet Boy

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Now that would be cool.

Super Meat Boy's already available. I played it a couple days ago!

 

[drotahorror]

Where are people getting RDR for $9.99? I looked on the marketplace but it's 29.99. I missed it I suppose?

I got it for $7.49 on Monday

Hmm Super Meat Boy? That has been able since day one

Thanks, yeah I just seen the post. I didn't notice the 7.49 was in a different spot.

 

[Bessy67]

It's $7.49 if you're a gold member (in the US at least).

Edit: A day late and a dollar short.

I'm sure more games will be added before the official launch but I don't think MS is going to use their stage to announce something that only applies to a small portion of their audience.

I imagine it'll be something more along the lines of

"We are happy to announce Backwards Compatibility will be available for the public on X and as of today, we are bringing some more of the highly requested games to preview members such as Red Dead Redemption. Here's a look at some more titles that will be available on X" then a small trailer in the background of all the games that'll be there at launch

 

[BluenoseGames]

Super Meat Boy's already available. I played it a couple days ago!

My bad, I thought it wasn't on the list.

Well the first announcement was at the biggest show of the year, and they did mention it was for preview members first.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

True, but the primary announcement was for BC in general.

....

Hopefully MS allows users to buy these games through the XB1 store once the services officially launches. I'm sure they will. If they don't, I hope they fix their online store at Xbox.com. If you don't currently own a 360, you cannot purchase any Xbox 360 titles from the Xbox website, which is ridiculous.

 

[Majine]

Have they actually flat out said wether they're doing a 360 games store? It makes a lot of sense, but I dunno how realistic it is.

 

[shanafan]

I believe if you have a credit card tied to your account you can actually.

 

[drotahorror]

I just bought a $10 MS card and put the code in on the website. I can't purchase RDR with it though? It wants me to use a credit card? Wtf.

Yeah you have to use a credit card ... which sucks.

I hope they have a Backward Compatibility section on the Xbox One store, if not I guess we can always use xbox.com

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I believe if you have a credit card tied to your account you can actually.

You can't. I tried a couple days ago. It asks you to sign into your Xbox 360 to ensure compatibility.

 

[Chris1]

It said in one of the FAQs that it wouldn't be ready at launch but will come later

That's not true. I don't have a 360 and I just bought RDR for 360. U can't use Microsoft credit for it however, but it allows u to if u pay via credit/debit card
