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

I think Germany has some pretty specific restrictions though...

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.

You shouldn't need to do that to for a disc game, that bypasses the license servers and authorises from the disc.

With Mighty No. 9 finally out, wouldn't it be fun if Capcom approved Mega Man 9 & 10 to be released today in the backwards compatibility program? But Capcom isn't Konami, so it's probably unlikely.
 
Anyone had issues with X-Com? Played a couple of hours yesterday, went to load my save game and it has vanished

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 have a question:

I have Gears 1 and 2 for 360, on disc. And I am German so yeah, I ordered the games from amazon UK. The games play fine, of course. But will they also work on XBO? It has to download the games so I don't know if it will stop to work then.
Also, is there *any* possibility that I can buy the games digitally on XBO? Can I switch to an austrian account? Or is there no way that as a German you can buy Gears digitally?

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.

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!

Gears 1 and 2 are banned. Gears 3 got released just fine.
 
How is the 360 version of Spelunky? I have never played the game. Unfortunately you can't buy it straight from the Xbox One store. You have to go to the online store.

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.

You sold me. Thanks

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.
 
Maybe it will mean more titles being announced soon :)
I demand Red Dead.
Ya hear that, Larry!!!
I NEED RED DEAD, LARRY!
