Microsoft’s Xbox backward compatibility program returns with 76 new games

Do prices of the original physical copies tend to go up or down after they are announced for BC?

yes they do, CEX and Gamestop are notorious for quickly repricing their stock as soon as games are announced as back compat. So be quick if you want something.
 
my bestie is going to be ecstatic being able to play Beautiful Katamari again. ❤️

I've never been able to play that game despite owning it twice on disc and once digitally. My first disc (Brand new) worked for a short time then refused to load. Years later I brought another copy played on a different X360 and that also refused to load. Then I brought the digital version and although it allowed me to buy it, the game is region locked so I can't download it to play. FINALLY I'll be able to play it!
 
let's hope, I sold my Series X and kept my Series S so this would be a real kick up the ass if they don't come back 🤣

Just checked, I do have it digitally (UK store) but it does not yet have the + Xbox One logo attached to the tile.

(COPY PASTE FROM THE STREAM THREAD)

even tho no JSRF, this list is better than I expected... I mean OTOGI!!! FINALLY!!!
and Max Payne, although no FPS boost sadly :(




is this confirmed? or is it turning off the X enhancements when FPS boost is on? I really hope it is 4K60 (or 1440p60 on Series S)
Yes, Sonic Generations is 4k 60fps now
🤗
 
Apparently Max Payne 3 is 780p and 30 frames.

yes it sadly got no enhancements as of now.
it should be doable tho, so I'm hoping it will come... on the other hand, maybe Rockshit Games is planning a """"""REMASTER"""""" and is actively against Microsoft boosting the game in any way

Otogi 2 imo

Are those games coming to the digital marketplace by the way? Can't find them (looked for RR6).

yes, Otogi is super expensive tho, I think it's 20€ in the german store.
they will be added slowly over the next couple of hours (maybe days if they are slow)

Purchased Binary Domain and Max Payne digitally. Also got Max Payne 3 and F.E.A.R. on EBay for cheap, don't want to risk them not allowing digital purchases and the prices go up for the physical copies.

Still no PGR.

mad the rock GIF

Where is Jet Set Radio Future?:messenger_angry:

Or Outrun 2 :messenger_pouting:

all of these need licenses to be renewed if they want to re-release them sadly... and especially with JSRF it is not quite as easy as with other games.
Outrun would be the easiest I think, because as far as I know the only outside license they used here is the Ferrari... and that should be doable... but Sega most likely doesn't see any sales potential for it sadly :/
 
Has anyone been having trouble installing max Payne 3 from disc ?
Edit nvm it started to work

Awesome, Mortal Kombat 9, Mini Ninja's and MX vs. ATV Alive were all in my ready to download library. I also own Max Payne 3 digitally but that isn't up yet. I also got greeted with 22 updates for the games that received a boost. Oh and besides the Cloning Clyde game Outpost Kaloki X is free too.
 
Unfortunately DOA4 got no image quality enhancements - actually looks worse than DOA3 (which did). Both play fine and are locked at 60 fps.

og Xbox games get resolution boosts as a standard feature... sadly 360 games don't, they need to be specifically X enhanced

Why is it asking me to buy these games again? I've already bought digital copies of the Max Paynes?

What bullshitery is this?

wait a few hours, that should sort itself out... if it doesn't, maybe Rockstar games has something to do with it... I would not put it past them to only let Microsoft make them backwards compatible if they then also make it a different licence to the one one XBox 360

Do any of the FEAR games have resolution enhancements? The FPS boost is great but these sub 720p 360 games look like hot garbage on my TV
 
I was hoping for NFS: Most Wanted (the OG one), but deep down I knew it's never happening because of licensing, at least now I know they're done with BC so I don't have to inhale hopium anymore, gimme that copium.

I had that happen in the past too for some games, I clicked buy in the store, just to see what's going to happen and if it really went through I could always refund it, but then the screen changed to a message saying it looks like you already bought this game or something, look in your owned games list and I found the title there and everything was resolved as I downloaded from there.
 
So how does BC work with titles like Max Payne 3 that hasnt had any enhancements?. What i mean is i remember the game having a lot of fps drops on 360, so will it now be a locked 30fps on Series consoles, even though it hasnt had any enhancements?.

It normally just powers through any old drops.
