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

Has anyone tried playing Portal 2 co-op through backwards compatibility? I tried the other day to get a co-op game going but when I tried hosting or joining I always got an error.
 
Comic Jumper was probably my least favorite Twisted Pixel game to play, though I loved the humor of it. Never got very far in it. Glad to see another big batch of titles coming out this week. Fallout: NV should also get some people excited, but Fallout games just aren't my thing.

Edit: Still love this stupid song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNyIY2pewfo

Also, Windows Central just posted an article about Metal Gear Rising. Basically, Platinum would love for the game to come out to Xbox One backwards compatibility, but it's up to Konami. Thankfully there's been at least two games I know of that Konami published that are backwards compatible and EvB has seen Metal Gear HD Collection being tested. So there's always hope.

I still haven't played Rising, so once that becomes backwards compatible I'll be picking it up.
 

Bought, thanks. It's 8,99€.

Holy shit!! Ah if only it were on sale from MS for that price I could use my $10 from the Fallout accident and get it for free @__@

Are the codes universal? I'm in the US with a US Xbox One but it looks like that site is based somewhere in Europe? Or not, it shows a US dollar sign but the box art looks... not from the US?

Fake Edit: Holy shit this site is a treasure trove. Alan Wake for less than $2? Craft you monster what have you done to my wallet!?

Actual edit: I'm an idiot, the globe on the game's page means it works universally. Holy shit, thank you so much for the head's up.

Edit 2: Installing now. I am so glad I checked this thread!! Wow I am super excited thank you so much Craft!

I know that website, but I somehow never look there for such deals. It's healthier for my wallet :D
 
It's possible we will hear about next months Games With Gold today or tomorrow. I would wait to buy any of today's BC announcements until then
 
Not the games I wanted but hey i'm ever so glad that they are consistently updating the service with new games. Gives me hope that one day I will be playing the games I have been waiting for.

I don't have a XB1 yet, but I bought it there for $10 USD and redeemed the code online without issue just a few days ago.


Edit: Just reread the install comment. My bad. Great deal regardless!
 
This is live now. Works great.

Oblivion is coming too btw.

Not really an Elders Scrolls Fan, but kudos to Bethseda. EA needs to help MS test these games out or let the preview members assist with testing out potential BC titles. Having over 2000 people playthorugh games and report errors would probably much faster than a hadnful that has to play each game to completion (including all mode variables and possble endings, pathways, etc).
 
I heard Blue Dragon was being worked on. Any idea when it might show up?

not really, last thing we know about them is Phil Spencer revealing his intention to bring them in the near future.

So does anybody know or have any speculation with regards to how multidisc games are getting sorted? Blue dragon was 3 discs but will you only need 1 disc to play it or will you still need all three with swapping mid game? Will there be 3 different blue dragon launchers one for disc 1 another for 2 etc. Or will they just create one digital compilation of the 3 discs that just requires you to have the 3 discs for the initial install and following that any disc in your xbox counts as discs1-3. Seems like if they compile it digitally you leave open the possiblity for a digital rerelease, which in my opinion would be great for games like blue dragon and lost odyssey which didnt sell great outta the gate but have since accumulated their own loyal fanbases which have been extremely vocal in the last few years.
 
Still waiting on the handful of titles I have in my backlog to show up. Glad to see all the support they're giving this though.
 
Just finished a replay of LEGO Star Wars TCS the other night. Ran really well. Hopefully they add The Clone Wars soon!

Btw can anyone here help me get the achievement for playing a level online in LEGO Star Wars TCS?
 
my Xbox treats both discs from the ultimate edition as game discs.. can you not install the add-ons from the disc? if so that kinda stinks.

Nothing installs from disc, the disc is just license. After putting DLC disc in, go to manage game and look under ready to install.
 
Downloaded New Vegas; don't know when I'll have the time to check it out; it should have been available weeks ago. I had enough time back then.
 
Really surprised to see Comic Jumper added.

Don't get me wrong. I own and liked the game. But at the current rate, I wasn't sure how many more in my 360 collection were going to be BC.

Still waiting for:

Skate
Skate 2
Skate 3
Marble Blast Ultra
Ace Combat 6
Crackdown
Crackdown 2
Forza Horizon
Red Dead Redemption (and Undead Nightmare)
Saint's Row

Games that would be a nice bonus, but I don't think will happen:
Burnout Crash
MK vs DCU
Sonic Unleashed
Stuntman Ignition
Simpsons Game
Spider-Man Edge of Time
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Condemned 2
Dante's Inferno
Midnight Club LA
 
Will be interesting to see if new Vegas gets any performance boost... I crashed the system several times.

If you have a pc made in the last 5 years with a dedicated graphics card you out should probably play it there

While you are right and I encourage anyone to follow your advice since the PC version is a better experience, I just finished New Vegas and all expansions on PC and it is very crash-happy there as well. I was using the fan-made stability mods and they simply cause the game to crash less. I was averaging a crash every couple hours, probably. Save early, save often!

At this point, I'm expecting RDR to be a GwG. Since there hasn't been an E3 sequel announcement...

Isn't it suspected that there is some kind of legal dispute involving Rockstar and that's why all has been quiet on the Red Dead front?

Does MS even care that everything is leaking?

Well, MS is a big company with many employees. It's hard to keep secrets. There are also a lot of people in the world that dislike them and want to torpedo them or at least hope they leave the games industry. I'm not surprised MS is more leaky than others, personally. Less loyalty in their ranks, as it were. If you're specifically referring to BC announcements, surely they know how ekim and others get this information. They probably don't care all that much.
 
Give me at least one of the splinter cell games :(

And R*, please just patch RDR and officially release the BC version already, thanks lol

I didn't see problems with it while I played it. Sure, it was laggy.. But wasn't it always? Sure felt sub 20 fps back then when it first released on the 360

And yea, Splinter Cell

I'd be happy to have Splinter Cell Blacklist bc as I haven't played that one so far.
The same goes for Metal Gear Rising.

Edit: I looked for Metal Gear Rising and I bought it new for ~6€. No matter if it becomes bc, I'll definitely play it in the near future.

Blacklist was the best Splinter Cell game last generation. Not Chaos Theory good but close enough. Only bad thing was Michael Ironside didnt voice Sam Fisher. Multiplayer was also very stable and enjoyable.
 
Do you know this for certain?
I've only tried once and it didn't work for me which made feel sad.

Okay. I deleted F3 and inserted the DLC disc -> Xbox downloaded both the game and the DLCs.

I inserted DLC disc from Fallout: New Vegas UE - it doesn't work. Disc 1 (the one containing the game) works, but it downloads the base game only. So no DLCs, at least for now. UK region.

EDIT: Restarted console once more and inserted DLC disc. It began to download all the F:NV DLCs.
 
Tried Fallout NV had to restart but nice it works now, gonna go back after I finish Fallout 4. Nice to have this BC, I was missing my 360 games .
