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

Am I alone in wishing that EA would allow MS to bring Kingdoms of Amalur to BC? I mean, yeah, I know the legalities make it incredibly improbable, but I can't help but still hope it comes.

The game seems to get a lot of hate that I've never understood. To me and everyone I personally know who played it, it felt like what should've been Fable 2 mixed with a healthy dose of WoW. It was so much fun, if not a little silly. I wanted the series to work out so badly, because I wanted the MMO, or at least a co-op sequel; but unfortunately, the game was buried, seemingly before it even released. I don't know if it was released at a bad time, or if everyone was saving up their gaming money and anticipation for ME3, but I feel like it never got the fair shake it deserved.

Anyway, I really hope they find a way to make it BC, because I'd love to replay it without having to hook my 360 back up.

EA still owns the publishing rights, that's why they are able to still sell it digitally. It really should not be too much of a legal hudle. Same with NCAA 14. It is still available digitally because EA still has a deal for the rights to use the team logos, stadiums, and fight songs. Can they both be made BC, yes. Will EA want to do it? Not sure.

I never played it, so no you aren't alone. Don't know about all the legal stuff.

NCAA 14 is the only game left that o absolutely NEED.

I want Lost Odyssey and a number of other games...but I need NCAA.

I want that game too. I also want most of the EA partners games
 
Sorry if this has been answered, but how does Portal 2 run on backwards compatibility?

And I really hope Fez becomes backwards compatible. I still need to beat it. :(
 
God I forgot about Daytona, that was a great port.

Gimme that but please Microsoft don't forget about CivRev

Its all I want ;_;
 
Okay this golden gun thing in RDR is driving me mad. Does the digital version on sale not have this DLC included? I'm playing via DVD. I'd buy it again just to get rid of them.
 
RDR was one of the most requested games. They're probably playing it. I would but I don't have the physical copy anymore. I saw it was around 10.xx through Xbox One digital.

It's $7.49 with Gold right now. I'm thinking of picking it up but I have it digital and accessible on my PS3. I'm torn.
 
Sonic Generations
Daytona
Max Payne 3
LA Noire
Transformers War for Cybertron
Transformers Fall of Cybertron
Sega Rally
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Dead Rising
Dead Rising 2
Outrun

Just give me these and I'm set.
 
RDR runs so well. It is my first time playing the game and so far its been great. The only other game that I really want as BC now is AC: Rogue, not sure if I would ever need another BC game after that one.
 
My BC wants are Mass Effect 2&3, Dragon Age 1&2, Amalur, Tenchu Z and Godfather 2.

I could happily get rid of my 360 if those were all ever added.

I bought AC:Rogue this year when it went on sale for cheap digital. Hoping it becomes BC soon!
 
I did want AC Rogue but I picked it up on steam. RDR, never liked it as much as everyone else.

Now I want to see Crackdown, Mass Effect 2 and 3 and The Saboteur. Maybe some more CoD games, Max Payne 3. actually the list is endless. 360 was a beast.
 
For the life of me I can not get Red Dead Redemption to download. I've tried on both the Xbox One and on xbox.com. Just says I am unable to purchase at this time. Yet I bought two other items.
 
Since Ikaruga is BC, I'm hoping Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes are coming at some point in the future.

Oh and Third Strike.
I've been hoping for Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes too.

Guardian Heroes is like... only 5 dollars on the Xbox Marketplace. That's awesome, and I'd love it to be able to come forward. Radiant Silvergun at 15 ain't nothing to get upset over, too.

is it a payment thing? I've had some weird shit (made worse by the fact I've had my XBL linked to different countries as I've moved a few times). I bought an XB card and it wouldn't let me buy a BC game until I relented and put my goddamn CC into their system.
 
Is Bayonetta actually coming? Searching it would lead me to last year's articles saying that Sega is making Sonic Generations 2 and Bayo BC, but it's still not on it......
 
Dragons Dogma is the one I really want. I had hoped that Capcom would bring the newer PC version over to X1 and PS4 but failing that BC would be nice.
