Any game with issues will likely be patched. They did a great job of patching out some issues with games during preview, such as Shadow Complex where they fixed some framerate issues. I need to go find my South Park copy now!

My day 1 grab is as follows (I had more available but don't really have a nurge to play some of them)

Blood of the Werewolf
Beyond Good & Evil HD
M&M: Clash of Heroes
Metal Slug XX
Plants v Zombies
Mutant Blobs Attack


edit: Looks like all the Dirt 3 DLC is appearing also...nice!

 

[Black Republican]

BGE HD looks so good in HD, only played the original PS2 version

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Hmm. Gears of war 3 won't connect to live either. That kind of sucks.

 

[Memnoch]

My Fallout 3 disc says it's not compatible with the backwards compatibility list. I updated the console. Ideas?

 

[Colbert]

Time to change the thread title IMO.

I had same happen with Assassin's Creed 2. It wouldn't work from disc. I ended up buying it digitally instead, that worked fine. It looks like they haven't added all region discs into BC, which is a fail.

 

[GreyWind]

Damn, I hope one day they remaster Gears of War 3, playing through the campaign again brings so many memories.

Well that's just ridiculous of Microsoft.

 

[ctfg23]

To get the 360 GoW games free do you need to play GoW UE multiplayer? Or is it just if you play the game at all?

 

[yankeehater]

So I turned on my XB1 today and it said I had 26 games to install. I am installing them now but every time a game finishes install and I try to play it I get a message that says, "game X needs 4 GBs of space to play". I have a 5 TB HDD with 3.7 TB's free. I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

 

[Diablohead]

I will report stuff to microsoft about performance and errors but I want to make a list in one of the BC threads with stuff I find, so far:

Sometimes polygons in any game being emulated can dissapear and reappear within a frame or two, I noticed this mostly in Dirt 3 with the spectators and MNC sometimes having polygons flash for brief moments, very minor stuff but it happens.

Performance wise Dirt 3 is easily 99% there, I think because of forced vsync the game feels like it drops a frame or two here or there but the game is a rather rock solid 30.

Gears of War 3 had performance issues once a few enemies appeared, running around a MP map solo felt perfect but mid-battle the controls will delay a few frames and the game will stutter, this was quite bad when trying a chapter 2 mission on insane when there was a lot going on the game sometimes felt very laggy.

Sonic CD is spot on perfect, maybe a frame or input delay due to the vsync.

Doom II is just as good, no issues. My version is the activision published version and it works fine.

Monday Night Combat feels good and hits 60fps when not much is going on but like gears it will drop performance as stuff appears and the action becomes busy, but the frame drops are a lot bigger when in the thick of things blowing stuff up.

JoyRide runs near perfectly also.

Currently can't get Judgement to boot up, it gives me a default xbox one error when I try.

 

[derFeef]

Hmm how does the savegame thing work? Pretty sure my 360 saves should be in the cloud but it's not getting them.

Only a few games saved data to your gamertag on 360, to get main saves to the cloud you had to have manually saved them over most of the time.

Sweet fucking Christ lumines with this d-pad is filthy

[xDamnYouSalazar]

So, once the BC update happened and was reflected on my Xbox One digital library page of ready to install games, I was quite satisfied, set many to download, but noticed I was missing one.

I didn't have Wolfenstein 3D, had like two dozen other Xbox 360 games show up on my digital library on my Xbox One, but not Wolfenstein 3D as I should of had. I was certain I had it on my Xbox 360. Looked at my achievements definitely have them for Wolfenstein 3D from as late as 2010, Wikipedia says it was released on XBLA in 2009.

Anyhow, checked Xbox.com's listing to see if it showed I owned it there, it didn't, but then I noticed it's listing date was 5/31/2013, 4 years later than when it really came out.
What happened from the looks of it is that Activision originally published it on the XBLA store back in 2009 along with the release of the Return to Castle Wolfenstein sequel, and Bethesda back in 2013 probably with the release of Wolfenstein New Order.

So, from the looks of it, they de-listed and re-listed the game, but they're not honoring the rights of those who purchased it back when Activision published it. I called the 1-800-4MY-XBOX and after explaining this to the moron on the other end for what seemed like forever who was like "oh I see you purchased Wolf Among Us; is that what you're talking about?... oh, Wolfenstein Old Blood, is that it?... have you tried unplugging your Xbox..." I just asked to escalate it. The supervisor realized the error was on their end and offered to credit my account $7 to make up for it so I could re-purchase it and that was good. Don't like I had to spend about 90 minutes on the phone with two disconnects to get it resolved but I'm satisfied with the resolution.

Still, anybody else that bought Wolfenstein 3D when Activision published it won't be able to get the current Bethesda re-listing without purchasing it again, or escalating the issue at MS... $5, might be worth not bothering talking to an MS phone rep. Maybe MS will fix this but I highly doubt it. They have de-list and re-list movies before but done nothing to resolve issues with those that have purchased them. Maybe I just got lucky here with the supervisor's discretion.

Ah okay, I guess I need to plug in my 360 once again.
Also I forgot how unforgiving NBA Jam is, haha, amazing game. Almost 300 people online playing too. I noticed some audio problems though but nothing too bad.

 

[Diablohead]

Ah I think i've found out how to install the Dirt 3 DLC if you own the complete edition on disc, you need to manually tell the disc to install and it will say 24 items need updating, if you have Dirt 3 installed already it auto boots when you place the disc in without the DLC oddly.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

No issues with AC II so far.

 

[Dibils2k]

i tried Gears 3 online.. unfortunately its unplayable. so many framedrops and input lag.

I wonder if it will be looked into before people who played ultimate edition get copies next month, might be why they don't get their versions right now.

Yea its great to see online numbers getting a boost for these games now.

Damn, that sucks. I just noticed that it's not in my ready to install list. I also noticed that it doesn't have the "+Xbox One" icon on the game in my 360 library and it shows I don't own it on the website either.

Seems kinda sucky since they figured out the deal with Doom and Doom 2. I bought those games before they were delisted and relisted, too. Maybe I'll call them tomorrow...

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

Seems to me there's more of a problem for more graphically intensive games or games that came near the end of the 360's lifespan. I wonder if they will be able to fix those performance issues.

 

[Crentist the Dentist]

why do some games I own on 360 say 'bundle only' when looking at on XO? I can't download them (freedom frenzy, kieflings, etc)

 

[MORT1S]

So, Geometry Wars was removed from my "Ready to Install" list, along with Viva Pinata, and Jetpac Refueled (Both from Rare Replay).

Anyone else seeing similar?

Similar? Maybe, I couldn't find the first Gears of War in my Ready to Install list so I went to the store page for the website and was like "I own this? Why can't I install it?"

I already had it installed and forgot...

Probably not the same case as you, I just wanted to point out how stupid I can be sometimes for giggles. Try pressing menu on Rare Replay and then "manage game" and see if they moved it to there.
I don't have any ideas for Geometry Wars...I just noticed that on the 360's arcade game store, none of the Geometry Wars games has the +Xbox One logo.

None of the games are currently installed. I also checked Rare Replay via "Manage Game"... No dice.

I can find the store pages for the Rare titles, but they are listed as "Unavailable" if I try to download them from there.

 

[catpurrcat]

This. I'm trying to buy the sega vintage streets of rage and it says bundle only. Clicking that leads to nowhere.

I thought I would get Gears 2 and 3 free as a day 1 ultimate collection bonus - neither are available!!! They both also say bundle only. I don't understand this interface at all.

 

[NavNucST3]

Have 24 games in queue my list definitely seems incomplete compared to the announced list but I didn't really go through with a fine tooth comb so it could be reflecting my current list accurately.

 

[DownWithTheShip]

I've seen this. If I recall there should be another link that will take you to the store page where you should be able to download.

 

[EvB]

Yeah rare replay has vanished and some of ththe rare r play games say I don't own them

 

[Justinh]

I thought I would get Gears 2 and 3 free as a day 1 ultimate collection bonus - neither are available!!! They both also say bundle only. I don't understand this interface at all.

If I recall, the codes for the Gears games won't start to be sent out until Dec 1st. The three latest Gears games popped up in my Ready to Install list this afternoon, but I already owned them.

Looking at the website, I get the Bundle Only box for games that I already own too, but when I clicked on the game in the 360 section, it'd say "Already Purchased" and the games for the most part are installing fine. Seems like you can't add games to your download queue from the website when it comes to 360 games on the Xbox One, which I guess kinda sucks. I never used it though...

 

[RawNuts]

Does anyone know if saves work from a USB device? I never bothered with the cloud saves much when my 360 was still alive.

 

[Diablohead]

Kind of funny seeing all this DLC installed

Does anyone know if saves work from a USB device? I never bothered with the cloud saves much when my 360 was still alive.

I don't believe they work, xbox one only sees usb below 256GB as video storage devices for playback, not for game access.

 

[Fata1moose]

Did you get the premium version of your DLC? For me KI was premium, but StF was the free version, even though I originally bought both.

The free version are for multiplayer compatibility reasons, but don't give you the actual content.

Edit: Solved it by locating the correct DLC in the marketplace. Fable III downloaded as well.

yeah I had premium for both, guessing you purchased both and the free came up first. I always had premium so it was never an issue, but seems you solved it.

 

[Metzhara]

I had that happen with a handful of legacy RB4 tracks.

I feel like Doom came free with a game. I know it came with Doom III but maybe another? Not quite sure. Maybe you played the trial!? Oh that would be something huh?

You are awesome! Thanks for the helpful response I guess I'll just wait it out, Xbox support Twitter has a ton of people with questions today.

 

[Korosenai]

My xbox wouldn't read my fallout 3 disc. Anyone else having this issue?

 

[Diablohead]

To play Dirt 3's DLC from the complete edition you have to launch the game with the disc, kind of makes the digital version useless to me, oh well I can live with a disc swap

 

[Pixel Fist]

It was a nice reminder of just how awesome the Dirt 3 soundtrack is!

 

[Bizzquik]

Hopefully someone can get some new Mass Effect impressions out there. I'd like to know how it runs in the Citadel in the outer areas.

It's up mass effect looks like it's running like it should.

Did they get the framerate issue fixed?

The major FPS issues happen in the Citadel. Indoor sections are fine but the outer area stuff was bad in preview. Have you checked out these areas yet?

How's the frame-rate? Thanks in advance.

Still kind of choppy but better than it used to be. I'm trying to reinstall it to see if that'll fix it

Lots of us wondering if Mass Effect had improved. Thanks for posting your thoughts, d58e7.

I'm a bit disappointed that it apparently isn't (entirely) fixed.
I eagerly await more impressions, and am very interested in what Digital Foundry will say about the formal release of Backward Compatibility.

You CANNOT buy the games on the Xbox One.

You must buy on the 360 or the web.

Once purchased the "bundle only" button on the XBO store page will change to a "Install" button.

 

[lovely ladies]

Haven't tried any games off the disc but the digital ones seemed to work fine and I love it. The install times were still kinda shitty even for smaller sized games though.

 

[pizzacat]

Where do I complain about gears 3 running at like 15 frames sometimes

I thought they said we were going to be able to?

 

[Zeta Oni]

Own just cause 2....

But it's not appearing for me to download. Just that one game. But it's the one I wanted to play.

 

[The Shift]

43 titles appeared in games for me. Tested Shadow Complex - cool seeing it running well. Will test Nights later today.

 

[Syriel]

I thought they said we were going to be able to?

Not at launch.

The store pages are there, but you can't purchase on the XBO itself.

 

[Gorki247]

Downloaded Fable III successfully, but the DLC doesn't appear to have been sorted out yet. Maybe that's why the game isn't included in this first batch.

You mean Fable 2, yes?
Fable 3 isn't coming out for BC yet....
