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

That's a bad idea. Too much franchise fatigue already - they just released Halo Wars 2 and a remaster of HW1 - no need to add to it.
It's two different genres.
They said no Halo FPS this year.

I know what this is. 360 games msft knew people were using VPNs. So what people at the time were doing were starting the download via VPN the turning it off and letting it complete. So msft added the 2nd check at 99% but people found this out and turned on there VPNs again at 98%.
So in order to beat this, msft made all downloads complete at 80%. They literally showed a different download time to the reality, maybe it was for VPN people or maybe it was to look like the downloads were completing faster. The VPN check is now at 79%. That's why they fail if you switched off your vpn.
Xbox One skips this check if you already have the game on your account. But if you don't, you need to vpn to Xbox.com to buy it and not directly though the XBox one.
The only way they will or could do this is if they release as part of Mcc along with a complete overhaul of the package supporting 4k render for scorpio
A man can dream
Thank you acb, I thought it might be something like that. I was still on the VPN when they failed at 79-80% each time so their checks have gotten even better I guess.
Really annoying that I can't play these games that I have legitimately bought unless they become BC on Xbox One.
That's how I feel as well.
There no way to sidestep the MCC situation and just release Halo 3 Anniversary as a separate entity without controversy coming fast, from the community itself and the general public. So if H3A does end up being a thing, I think its a no brainer it will be part of a larger MCC effort.
The fact that Frankie says he still cant talk about it gives me hope that the reason is he isn't allowed till it is fixed
Its one of the best COD and the only game many had/still play on the X360.
Seems logical, I can see them using the Halo 3 engine as it is to upgrade the visuals to current-day standards.

Virtual On Force is digital?!Thank you acb, I thought it might be something like that. I was still on the VPN when they failed at 79-80% each time so their checks have gotten even better I guess.

I would literally yell out with excitement if Phil announces this at e3. I have about 160+ OG xbox games sitting about doing nothing at the moment.

I believe there were licensing agreements with intel and nvidia that prevent this from just being an engineering exercise and not a cost one. If they did do it, it would almost have to be a paid app to cover those costs but then at that point how could they be sure what the demand would be?
I'd pay it

Man look at all those great xbox exclusive games. Really makes you wonder wtf happened and why the xb1 doesn't have nearly as many.

This seemed like the best thread to ask this, because it relates specifically to Xbox 360 titles on Xbox One.
Has Microsoft fixed their shit yet where I can buy Xbox 360 games digitally, and it'll use my currency on my account yet? I have enough reward points with gamestop that I can get a $10 code for xbox live, and I'd love to buy the first SoulCalibur...but in the past, even when I had money on my account, it insisted on using a damn credit card.

No you still can't buy 360 games from X1 or even the site unless it's a CC.
Huh? From the Xbone I use Paypal all the time for 360 stuff

I'm pretty sure they said the 360 store/credit is never going to be compatible with regular store credit. Something about how they were designed way back when.
You can still buy them using credit on an actual 360 though.

Hunter The Reckoning: Redeemer was a great game, idc what the critics say lol
Edit: Unless you mean Buffy, which was also a really a good game, even critically.

"360 credit" is just credit on your Microsoft account now; purchases on your 360, and purchases on your Xbox One, both pull from that same pool of credit. They apparently just didn't bother to implement the use of credit when they were wrapping the 360 store UI for use on Xbox One.
The 360 has supported Paypal for years, so you're just using the existing backend there
#2 in the UK aswell, only behind FIFA.
Imagine if Xbone had BC from the get go
You better not be talking about DOAXBV... because I'll fight you.
Not sure why so many people like that game lol.
Well my misery is at least someone's gain lol.
