Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it

I'm certain Condemned was in the first wave back in November.

Really happy to see that the 360 store will be added to the xbox one now, hopefully we see another wave of games added tonight now that the stores been added and developers can make money off their games.

on a side note i really hope Microsoft can finally get rid of the toxic modders ruining these games on the 360..
 
I want World at War. insert everyone crying about CoD games being approved, but who cares... they're fun as hell and that's all that matters to me.

Now that one is hacked to death. The straw that broke the camel's back was that I entered a god mode lobby. Haven't been back since.
 
Oh man. One of my favorite 40k games. Almost perfect.
Game breaks at the hardest difficulty. You take more damage than the kill heal can recover, forcing you to hide and regen in a way that's contrary to the spirit of the world and the game. I still beat it though on the hardest diff so this is a minor complaint, but man was the game merciless near the end. Died while kill healing over and over.
 
how come EvilBoris isnt updating his predictions spreadsheet?
EvilBoris' Backwards compatible Predictions master list

and if he responds to this post.. i see you listed saints row iv..is it possible you got it wrong and you meant the original Saints Row, and Saints Row2? and what about Shadowrun.. any chance for any of these hitting BC?

please update your list! I believe!

I don't quite understand that list. For example, Black Ops II has never been announced, yet his list says it was announced on November 9?

I think they closed whatever access he had to discover new BC titles.

yeah im not too sure, hes definately not updating the list though..he has a few gears titles listed as recently found. I did however see him say somewhere in this thread that he has seen every cod bc allready..idk if he was serious

a shame Microsoft is making this so difficult..taking this long dropping games or info.. the BC was way more intriguing when we actually had titles to look forward to becoming BC...and predictions from others to prove. This BC situation is almost boring for me, the list is rather short and not the games I loved the most in 360s lifespan.


On one other note concerning BC, I worry IF Microsoft does not find a way to cleanse multiplayer of old 360 games from hacks, and mods, this may just all be for nothing, Microsoft has the chance to turn BC into a refreshing/rebooting opportunity for gamers to get to experience the games from a different generation the way they were originally meant to be experienced. I think Microsoft should really investigate this feature further, it could alone optimize sales on the marketplace, and even increase sales on xbones.

Imagine:
player1:"wait so I can play cod4, and never end up in a modded lobby"
player1&player2:*buys xbox one*


its possible..

no doubt. which is a shame. But man, what a great game.

I never felt like the healing mechanic worked that well, and I played on one of the easier difficulties. Ideally you should be able to avoid damage by playing well, but the game felt to me like a lot of the damage (mostly when facing crowds of melee enemies) was inevitable and you just had to kill fast to counter it. I didn't feel like a durable space marine with my health dipping all the time.

Everything else about the game was great though. I just let something else distract me and never finished. At this point I would much rather play it on the Xbox One, so hopefully it goes BC. (and I'll rebuy it so I have it digitally)
 
I'm new to this; does this part of the BC section on Xbox.com mean that these games are coming this month?

I think it's more of a general 'are coming at some point' rather than a specific 'this month!'. Feel like those games have been announced since the BC program launched.

No. Some, all or none of those titles may appear this month. Or never.

(Presumably those are close to working but not good enough for release.)

These games are coming eventually, ETA to be determined.

No lol. Those are just some confirmed in-the-works titles. They've been there for a couple months now.

No, not necessarily.. just confirmation that they will be coming to BC..these titles have been listed for about 2 months now..

Holy crap, thanks guys :P Damn, I was really hoping Skate 3 would be out soon
 
Does anyone in the preview know if Galaga Legions DX is getting BC? It's on sale for $3 this week in DwG, and I need more arcade action.

Edit: nm, listed as Found but not Confirmed in that EvilBoris xcel sheet. Good enough for me.
 
I was told Halo Reach was better but holy shit - this is unplayable. It's close to 30 on 360 but here even in just Team Slayer it feels like it's running at 20 or less all the time.
 
Hopefully with DS now BC DS2 wont be to far behind. I bought it but never finished it on 360, I would love to go back and play through it now.

i got a sneaking suspicion that DS2 will not come to BC as it's already available on the XB1.

Just look at borderlands: they only added BL1 to BC and that's likely due to BL2 and the Presequel already being on the XB1 while BL1 wasn't.

All my access was shut down, now all I see is Threshold titles and other random stuff like "Pegasus"

I just hope it isn't the case. I hope they are just focusing on non remastered games first. I would really love to play Halo 3 wihtout having to purchase the MCC.

On the other hand I think there was a GwG title that the remaster was first given as an X1 free game, and a few months afterwads (after BC launched) the Xbox360 was given as a GwG title.

So maybe, there is still hope

the only games off the top of my head that had both a remaster/better XB1 version and became a BC game are the halo twin stick shooters and Gears 1.

Castlecrashers, and another which I can't remember. So there's that...

Edit: I couldn't find it...

But then again, I just hope it's not the case, because just as you said I would really love to play DS 2 on my One without having to purchase it again.

CastleStorm too, I think. Pretty disappointing that the Definitive Xbox One version was made available through GwG early in 2015 and then the 360 version was offered through GwG later in the year. I'm not interested in that game in the first place.
