Oh that's cool makes believe that getting the DLC for other games won't be a problem, great news for us and the companies as people will be tempted to splash the cash on the DLC.

Out of interest, how come licensing and publisher support is a factor in 360 backwards compatibility anyway? Systems with hardware-based BC like the Wii just play everything with no fuss, and even an emulation-based system like the PS3's PS1 disc support seemingly plays that console's entire library. Why do Microsoft need to get third parties to sign off on their games being supported, or navigate around licensing?

Sooo... WTF is going on with my Gears save? First when I transferred it to the cloud from I lost everything somehow. Now, I just checked and it says I have zero COG tags... But after I started back up on Xbox One I collected every tag in Act 1... Is the latter issue something that could happen with Gears 1 before, or what? Because my campaign progress/checkpoint is fine, so I have no idea what would reset my COG tags.
Edit: What the fuck... So all of my unlocked missions have been relocked, except for the mission for my current checkpoint and of course the prologue. What the hell is going on?
Baked into the TU or as a separate download though? (Edit: Checked, it's part of the TU itself) Gears maps are free IRC, so if it's the prior, then this wouldn't mean much for other games in the short term.
Because on Wii, PS3, and Xbox 360 they are directly reading the software off the disc. On Xbox One all Xbox 360 software, disc-based or not, is technically being redistributed as it all requires an emulator shell to run. This redistribution plus the fact that the package has technically been altered (even if the actual game code itself is untouched) due to having a packed-in emulator makes it more in line with the Virtual Console as far as legalities go, even if it's just being used to play games that have already been purchased.

Maybe it's being tested because it's unusual in that It downloads files internally

It's also a bit clever security-wise since this method doesn't allow anybody to load their own custom Xbox 360 code into the One's emulator in an attempt to break into the One's OS. They came up with a way to quite literally air gap the game disc from the console.
Word. I've tried to explain this a few times.

This is a must-play even if you owned Portal on disc for HL:Orange Box. It adds a number of challenges to all of the Portal levels that really makes it worth buying and playing again... Bronze/Silver/Gold challenges for each level. Added a whole level of Portal gameplay that I never thought even possible.
This morning I wondered if Shadow Complex would've been made backwards compatible but then I thought "no way...it'll probably be at the bottom of their list". Then I checked...omg
BC is the killer app I needed to get me to buy a one. I'll be looking forward to any big sale on the system

I'm hoping the first Peggle gets BC. I beat everything on that game except one challange anf it has always bothered me. It was the one where you had to win like 10 games in a row. If you lost one round, you had to start all over again.

Same exact thing is happening to me. I think it is just not working right now.

Yeah, sounds like that is probably the case.
EDIT: Ah looks like there are some Xbox Live issues atm - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1095234

Sorry I have nothing constructive to add, I'm just posting to say that if you saw my 360 digital game library you'd know that I'm severely jealous of those of you in the OS previous program.
Unfortunately Microsoft did not grandfather me from the 360 program, probably because I did nothing to contribute on the feedback forums. I understand but I'm still really bummed about it. 😞

Progress tracker seems borked. Seemed like it was taking forever for me, but then it completed at 10%.
They're baked into the newest TU itself.
I believe the only people who got "grandfathered in" were those who were in the 360 preview program and who had an Xbox One at the time the Xbox One preview program launched. After that first group it became by referral only. So if you didn't have a One at the time, that's likely why. Also, there's a topic for requesting invites for the preview program if you want in.
Try going into the XBO settings and wiping all of your Xbox 360 profile and save data. Then reboot and restart. It should resync your info and work.
DLC is supported, so long as it is included in the emulator image.
What's not supported at the moment is that the emulator has no ability to access XBLM.

Xbox Live is working again, didn't need to do the above steps. Thanks for the help though

Found the thread and thanks for the explanation!
I'm not sure what that was but it got me laughing! I've always found glitches like this to be down right hilarious.
Does this allow achievements to pop that are map specific, even though it's not a DLC pack?

I can't say for sure but I don't see why not. As long as you win 20 games you should get them
There were audio problems in PGR4 when installed on HDD so they probably would need to patch a game in order to make it BC.

Sorry I'm sure this has been asked by numerous people, but how do I get in the Preview program? I wasn't planning to get an Xbox One, but the Best Buy TV deal was too good. Thanks!

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
That's a tough scenario. What if the problem is the game rather than the BC? Do you invest in the patch? Hmmm.
I want PGR4 too.

Not sure where they're getting some of those games but they have a list of 130 games that might be BC at launch, seems fairly reasonable outside of a few odd ones like Prototype 1&2.

The author is just presenting his "best guess" as "fact." And did a CYA move with a small disclaimer.
Basically that source is just as accurate as any other random Internet poster.

Just got into the preview and want to try shadow complex again. How do I download it on my XB1?
buy it on xbox.com if you haven't already. It will show up in your "ready to be installed" list on the far right in your Games section.

you have to own it previously to get it to work in preview
I thought pre-ordering Ultimate have you the previous games as a bonus?
