Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it
- Thread starter Banjo-Kazooie
- Start date
Okay, that makes sense. Probably the same story for the other two, then.
Just to confirm, they were. I think those two were ones that were given out early in the GwG program. I can't remember when R6 was given out.
I looked at the store pages for compatible games in the xbox website, and each game (at least the ones I looked at...so only about half dozen) was like 500 MBs to over a Gig bigger on the Xbox One store page than on the Xbox 360 store page.
seems to vary per-game with the arcade titles taking up less space (not surprisingly)
edit:
That's unfortunate, but what about switching account regions on Xbone? Might that be enough to use the discs from other regions?
I didn't notice any difference between Ikaruga on 360 and on Xbone via BC in that regard.

I noticed it when I played with bc last month or so but now it feels great

Yep AC2 and clash of heroes were gwg too, that's how I got them digitally too.
Any chance of them adding Halo 3 to the BC roster? I realize it's included in the Master Chief Collection, but that doesn't support the old Saved Films system. I'd love to use cloud transfer to get my old clips on the Xbone so I can re-download them without having to get a capture card.
I have a UK X1 and a US copy of Banjo Nuts and Bolts. Will try it as soon as I can.

Of the 104 games in the BC list now, I have like 50 of them, lol.
It's encouraging that there's no input lag, hopefully the fighting games come soon. I need Tekken Tag 2 and Virtua Fighter 5FS back in my life.

Pretty good chance. Gears of War 1 is BC, even with the existence of Ultimate Edition. Hell, even the 360 version of Spartan Assault is BC, despite there also being an Xbox One version.

It still seems like I don't have this BC update yet! :S

So I apologize if it's already been answered earlier in the thread, but I own Rare Reply digitally: why do some of those 360 games show up for "Ready to Download" without the Rare Reply banner even though the Rare Replay versions re already installed? I never owned a 360, so it's not a case of my previously owned games showing up

There is no more digital region locking. I downloaded Stick of Truth from the US Store and its fully UNCUT and playable.
Not sure if buying will work. But downloading is no issue anymore.
I looked and people on Twitter are having different reactions. Hope someone does tests soon.
It's emulation of course there's input lag.

Let me rephrase that. It's good that the input lag is fine for most people. I haven't noticed it in Geometry Wars, so that's a good sign, is it?

Super Meat Boy is perfectly playable so it doesn't affect all games. I wonder if it's a side effect of the vsync.
Fallout 3 is also fine. In fact Gears of War 3 and Dirt 3 were the only games I noticed input lag with.

Oh cool, I never thought about trying that. I'll have to download Stick of Truth from the US store, cheers for the tip!

Fallout 3 runs exactly like it did on the 360, so no complaints here.
I have some serious performance issues with all the games Ive tried. None of my disc based games work (Fable 2, 3, Condemned, Rainbow Six Vegas 2) and all of my Arcade games have notable issues. Not even games like Doom or Kingdom of Keflings are playable.
This is how Dirt 3 runs on my One (I hope the link/video works):

Any idea what could cause this problem? European console and PAL games. Xbox One games works as they should.

Well, whatever amount of input lag there might be, it's not high enough to be considered serious. At least not in Ikaruga. And I say this as someone who plays shmups regularly and is decent-at-worst at them.

Why do none of my BC games show up in the ready to install menu?
Why do I have to search for them? And why isn't there a tab with all the BC games so you can browse and either purchase/download them from there?
Half assed launch...

you tried a hard reset? hold power down, it worked for some people
and yeah they said they're fixing the BC/ MyGames app install section soon
when you try to download the game on the page, does it say (Gold Exclusive PRice Free) ?
when you then click on download to xbox360 on the webpage, on the top of the new window it should say "free" , it doesnt matter if you see your credit card details on the same window
do you run your games on internal or external hdd? pretty much everything runs better on an external hdd
you have to go into "manage game" to download the DLC

Until someone does a look into lag and delay i'm going to say that all BC games have at least a frame or two of delay in controls due to the emulator taking an input and changing it for 360 use in the emulator, I can feel and see the delay in Sonic CD, gears and super meat boy but it's not completely game breaking, it could also be due to the forced vsync on most of the titles.
Oh maybe it's that, I've had some confusion with it seeming to think I don't have gold, and offering me to buy a subscription when I click on it even though I have one. The whole at games with gold is surfaced on the Xbox itself is pretty terrible compared to ps4, you just have to search the dash for a games with gold promo rather than it being a dedicated section in the store.

All three of the ones you mentioned were on GWG within the first 4 months.

How do you get to that page of games ready to install?
Yes. The DLC should show up in ready to install (under manage game). Note that if you purchased Fallout 4, you get the game free.
Runs great.

yes but you will need to insert the disc to access the license every time you play even if you already owned the base game as digital, to stop disc sharing and such.

Is registering the discs hit and miss for anyone else? Putting the FO3 disc in sometimes doesn't start the install process.
Go to your games library on your X1 and scroll all the way to the right past the games you have installed. They will be there along with any demos you have downloaded on the x1 and deleted.
It also might take a second to populate if you get there quick... just wait and anything you own digitally will show up.
It did right away for me
