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

It's basically the nature of backwards compatibility that they're not making new content for the games. Expecting achievements would have been something else (even if it would be cool).

I mean the expectation came from the fact that Sony's PS2 releases on PS4 have added trophies

It wasn't the craziest idea
 
Licensing issues holding back BC is a bummer. An understandable one, but still a bummer. Probably means we won't see the Burnout games on BC.

Burnout Paradise is on BC. That's considered the most popular one though so I'm not sure we will ever get Revenge/Takedown.

We will never get Buffy though. :/
 
Man I'd really love Shenmue II BC, but now that there is a III coming out and it not being on Xbox.... I wonder if that hinders its chances.

It wouldn't be a priority title for MS I imagine.

Ironically if III didn't exist at all it probably might have been.
 
Just remembered that Sid Meier's pirates didn't run great on og Xbox.
But ran superb on the 360 emulator.

After black flag I'd like another crack at it.
 
Good, old skool as it should be. We don't need to listen to people stroking their epeen at how good they are at Ninja Gaiden Back.
They have none leaderboards for stuff like that. The point of adding achievements is all other Xbox games have them, plus it would be fun to see what the devs would come up with for games like that. Oh well hopefully a remaster is in the works since then it will have achievements.
 
Just Skate 3 is BC atm

Bummer, didnt like the mechanic that you can go off-board if you know what i mean. More realistic sure but i didnt work really well in 2 imo. Did it get improved in 3?
Hope they get the first on it as well.
How much do they charge for 360 game?

What do you think the chances are that any of the timesplitters games come to backwards compatibility? I would love to play them again.
 
Really hoping Deathrow will be one of the sorted OG Xbox games, amazing game!

Obviously JSRF would be awesome too, with solid framerate.

And one game I LOVED... Sega soccer slam!!

Square owns the publishing rights to 1 and 2 via Eidos, EA owns the publishing rights to 3, and Crytek owns the IP itself

so have fun
 
I have no problem with this because otherwise they would try to re-sell us the games a la Sony on the PS4.

Yeah, so it's ok. If it's the price to have a "free" emulation, compatible with our 15yo discs, that's fine.

Do we know if their goal is to achieve 100% backward compatibility? On both 360 and OG Xbox? And will there be improvement with BC on Xbox One X? I'd like to have most/all 360 games at 60fps on XOX. :D
 
I always wanted to play the game Breakdown on original Xbox so I hope that gets added to the list. It was available in such limited quantities locally so I missed out at the time. Easy enough to get a hold of now, just hope it makes its way to the program.
 
And one game I LOVED... Sega soccer slam!!

If this is a rejigging of the 360 emulator, it's a good sign that Soccer Slam was already bc. :)

And yeah, it's wonderful. It's one of an abundance of arcadey Sega games that should've been re-released on every digital platform at least four times already.
 
Phil should just get us Blue Burst on Play Anywhere <3

Ninja Gaiden Black and II Vanilla BC

Panzer Dragoon Orta -- and a Zwei port

Make Chu Chu Rocket available also

Money hat the fuck out of a VF6 that comes to PC but make it available on Steam after a short period

Work with SEGA to bring both VF6 and KI to Arcades

Get Shenmue 3 coming to Xbox

~~

;( none of these things will happen fuck
 
It's probably worth mentioning that the trophy mandate for PS2-on-PS4 games is one of the reasons the release schedule is so sparse.

PlayStation Lifestyle said:
Lindquist added that deciding on a Trophy list takes one to two weeks, programming them takes about a month, and testing them after programming can take one to two months depending on the game’s length.

Don't get me wrong, it'd be great if Microsoft could include them, but I'd personally take a timely and (somewhat more) consistent release schedule over achievements.
 
I have multiple ps2 games on my ps4 that have trophies.

doesn't seem impossible. Especially since I doubt we're likely to see more than 100 or so games on the service

Those are PS4 games. Not PS2 games running BC. They have been converted to use on PS4. Xbox originals would be BC.
