Or you can wait until Gears of War 4 comes out since every other game in the series will be playable with purchase of that game.
Damn. Beaten multiple times over. The physical version gives you access to everything too.

Where's Daytona?
It might take a while for the games to be added to your account however (they're not codes).

What about the gears 3 framerate?
Can I actually play the multiplayer on Xbox One without being disadvantaged now?

Well, if you already own the games, you can play them now.

Do you get the codes for them now or have to wait for release on the 11th?

No, they're added to your account by the end of 2016.
So I guess if you want to play them all before GoW 4, this doesn't help you all that much.

I'm fairly certain you can run multi disc games on a modded Xbox 360 by having all game files present in the same folder - this can't be easily applied to GOD packages however, what digital retail Xbox 360 games use and installed games. I know some games like Assassin's Creed IV had a GOD release despite being two discs - but I'm also pretty sure it had one executable and thus could be released that way. Max Payne 3 did this with free DLC you downloaded after installing the game itself. The Witcher 2 is an odd one since the GOD release would actually fit on one disc, so I'm guessing some sort of compression was used to make it happen.
In short though, I'm guessing Lost Odyssey is probably running how it is by allowing the executable to run directly without any sort of packaging and running how it would on a modded console, or it's using four separate GOD packages that has some sort of software running that auto swaps the "disc" and continues the game like that. No clue if we can't see the file system.
I've already played them, and have them all digitally I just wanted to give the codes away lol
Yeah it's like the previous giveaways based on what you've played. You might get lucky and get the games in the first wave or you might be waiting a while.

Like others, Guwange is still not showing up for me (I'm in the US).
Would really like to play it without having to fire up the 360.
Same in Canada, lets tweets major nelson about it
Damn that would be a good one. NG2 without all the screen tearing and a slightly better framerate!

Yes, it works for me just fine using a 360 pad
Played a little bit of Guwange yesterday. Hope the Dodonpachi games and Mushihimesama 2 comes over, too (although, I'm guessing all those games have separate publishers)!
I tried Fable 2 for the first time since before all the recent updates, and it still seems a little "framey" in the beginning with all the snow, but I think it's just a tiny bit better than it was before. I didn't get far enough to get a job and see if that was more manageable now. I remember it really bothering me before.

Any edition from any retailer? Digital or physical only? I just looked up the regular edition on Amazon and didn't see anything about the older games, but I only skimmed.
I plan on picking up GoW 4 relatively soon, and would love to have the 360 predecessors, too.
I haven't been on as often as I used to be, but the difference between Gears 3 BC before the most recent patch and after is significant.
Input lag seems gone, and the framerate isn't dropping like crazy, even in higher level horde. I hopped on TDM and had no issues at all due to performance, where as before I was dropping gnasher shots like I just started playing the series.
Edit:apparently the more recent version of the emulator has introduced some nasty crashing issues, so there's that.

As long as you play it before the end of 2016, they'll automatically be added to your account.

Gracias, señor! You just saved me some coin. Really looking forward to playing this franchise start to finish when the time is right. Did the same with Uncharted before UC4 released.
Excellent, thanks.
Yes, so much so that I actually used it to play Halo co-op locally with only one Bone controller and a 360 one. I hate that 360 controllers work with Windows 10 and not Xbox One, it's based on the same OS dammit. Well, they've got to sell Bone controllers, I guess.
I played through Judgment twice earlier this year and had no crashes, but Gears 3 campaign seems almost unplayable right now due to crashes and I wonder if it's something that was introduced with the latest emulator patches, if it's happening in Judgment as well.
But the epic staircase chapter!

I respectfully disagree. I loved the 360 controller last gen, but it feels like a toy compared to any official Xbox One controller imo.

Sweet! Multi disc working now
Dead Space 2!!!
Make it happen MS!!
Orig Dead Space BC still one of my best experiences on Xbox One.

I'm with him. Even with the downsides the XBO pad is the best I've ever used. The 360 pad feels dated now, especially the dpad.
360 pad was the best of all time, then the XBO pad came and destroyed it.
I want a 360 pad with the XBO dpad.
Cosign. It's better than the 360 pad in every way. Bumpers and all.

Yeah I need to get one of those. I have the launch XB1 controller (the one without the 3mm audio jack)

How's the S controller stack against the Elite?
That's weird, they should just work. Maybe it's a restriction on third-party controllers? As they're officially licensed, it shouldn't be the case. Definitely contact MS support.

Thanks for this.
I'm big into Gears Mp so the input lag and dropping frames stopped me from playing.
Gonna jump on tonight and see if it crashes in MP.
Thanks

Have they fixed the issues with the Gears BC performance? I am intending to do a play through of 1 - Judgement in anticipation of 4, and I thought Id play through Ultimate for 1, but I recall 2-Judgement had issues with shitty performance when they first launched as BC.
Ideally Id like to just plat it all on my XB1, but if performance issues remain, should I just play it on my 360? Or have they been fixed up in the intervening time? I tried to google it but only found results re: issues when they launched as BC and my work blocks a lot of the content I can access anyhow.
Thanks.

Performance was massively improved recently, though some people having crashing issues with Gears 3 now (they're being looked into).
