Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it
- Thread starter Banjo-Kazooie
- Start date
Only in terms of what can be sold, I doubt they've put in any specific software restrictions beyond not listing them in the store.
I would safely assume that you could simply change your region to the UK, download the BC game and switch back if it didn't work out of the door for Germany

Wait...is one of Xbox's best and strongest franchises completely banned in Germany? They should have at least made it available with green blood or something!
You can download whatever you want. The issue is buying. If you can use VPN or whatever tricks available to own an IP region locked 360 digital game, then X1 will let you download it no questions asked.
Just bypass the buying thingy via VPN and then download it normally on X1.

Same. I don't want to buy a 360 just to do that.
Hand in Hand in RDR-Limbo.
it's like Germany just decided to be on a time out indefinitely after WWII

The normal announcement time has passed (noon EDT). So probably nothing today.

Probably towards the end of the week, but sometimes the details get leaked early.

I'm not sure how the game unusually runs but there's no 'continue' option on the main menu. I manually saved my progress and had to pick load game from the main menu the next time I started playing (I've only played the game twice).

Did Konami release some backcompat stuff during a release?

I put Dead Rising in my Xbox One just in case and was brought with sadness.

No, sorry for the misconception. I just feel as if Konami is spiteful enough that they would do such a thing; not that they actually did.

Licensed music, tracks, and cars are the likely reason.
I need to get more points in forza 4 myself to get closer to tier 10.

I thought Forza Horizon 1 had been announced, but maybe it was just a rumor.

Imagine if the only thing keeping us from getting Forza Horizon is Bom Bom.

Forza Horizon along with a lot of other game icons were shown during the initial BC reveal at E3 2015, but nothing has been officially announced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PMjqmggn_o

I thought they'd said that all first party published games would be coming?

If DMC HD Collection and Ultimate MvC3 make it I'll be ecstatic.
My Gears discs are from Austria and they work on my Xbox One(console region is set to US). Every 360 PAL disc should work just fine on your Xbox One.
When you got South Park Stick of Truth and insert the disc and your Xbox One is set to US, you can even download the Uncut version of the game.
Gears 1 and 2 are banned. Gears 3 got released just fine.

Shit! That's insane. Seems to be no consistency to it either, why not Gears 1 and 2, but 3 is okay?!
The USK, which handles the age certification for games in Germany, got a bit more relaxed over time.
+ Imulsion enemies probably contributed to that, too.
What did he say ? can't find anything new about it on Google.

How are the first 2 Dead Risings not BC? Microsoft needs to catch some more DR4 hype by BCing the first 2 games

Spelunky is pretty much perfect for me. I'm a heavy Spelunky player and anyone who does play it will know you'd know if something felt off.
Also one of the most perfect games ever. Buy it without hesitation. A++++ game. It is wonderful and I'm still playing it, years later.

Seems like emulator got updated so hope it's a good thing.

I was hoping the S&K update would fix the lock-on issues I'm having (my XB1 won't recognize any of my other Sonic games), but nope....still broken.

If there's one thing I want to hope for, is the 360 BC catalog on Xbox Play Anywhere.
