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

Just Cause 2 runs really well. Playable even in high chaos moments.

Some screenshots:

Oddly enough, it feels like it might even play better. I don't know if it is the Xbox One controller or what, but so far everything I have played runs great. This is such a killer feature and I cannot wait to see the list grow.
 
Dunno if it's been mentioned already, but they seem to have fixed Super Meat Boy's cloud save issue in the beta. My save transferred over just fine.
 
First time ever playing judgement right now so I can't speak for 360 performance but the game plays a lot better then the frame dropping gears 3 does, it also looks damn nice for a 360 game. There is some control delay which ruins up close shotgun battles but it's running well, i like it.

I am only in the baird campaign right now so can't say if it's better or worse later in the game.
 
Wow, very glad this works well! As a PS3 owner last gen, I've got a few gaps (Fable, Crackdown etc) so going to grab those as and when. Smashing!

I got it with Games with Gold, but never played it. It is sitting there waiting to be downloaded, so I am going to give it a whirl. Loving this shit.
 
Playing Sonic CD has pretty much confirmed why I was looking forward to BC. Playing that game on the 360 with the 360s shitty d-pad made me not even finish it. I played it last night on Xbox One and it was glorious with the XB1 d-pad. I can't wait to play other games with the new controller.
 
Okay, I've played a load of Mass Effect, Rainbow Six Vegas, DiRT, Assassin's Creed 2, Fallout 3 and Just Cause 2 over last few days.

The good news is stability and performance wise it is great. Games just work. Multiplayer also works great, across platform too.

Only issue I would highlight is DiRT 3 struggles in high physics moments, eg if you start to crash through fences the frame rate starts to chug. Otherwise they play pretty much like on a 360. Fallout 3 actually plays better, as loading times are drastically reduced.

Also, it is surprising how well DiRT 3, Fallout 3 and Just Cause 2 have aged. They look very close to native Xbox One games. Seriously, visually these games look like they could be released today at times.
 
I really can't wait for more exclusives to get added. I was ps3 last gen so I'm now enjoying gears, fable and hopefully soon Alan wake, halo reach and the like. This is amazing.

Are there any i should be on the lookout for when/if they get added?
 
Tried a couple of games.

Most run very very well but

Gears 3 .... even the sound in the menus is completely choppy. I hope they can fix this. It´s basically unplayable.
 
Single player.

The sound started to act up instantly when I started the game. Even the sound during the logos upon booting the game was choppy ;-)

Maybe it was a glitch and I should try it again.
My Gears 3 didn't do that, but the framerate is pretty poor when things get hectic.
 
For people who bought Gears Ultimate:

Is the Gears collection showing up for you? I only show Gears 1 and 3. 2 and Judgment are saying "bundle only" whatever that means.
 
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.

So I can delete my Euro version and download the US version instead?
I'm passed the anal probing section anyway, so I guess it's pointless if I do.
 
Installed Gears 2 and found a ranked Warzone match on Ruins :)

Sadly the game runs really bad. It's really choppy and feels like it's running at about 15 fps.

Rather strange that Judgement runs the best out of 2-3-J so far, gears 1 runs well too but that is the oldest out of the lot.
 
Gears 3 multiplayer runs like absolute garbage for me. I figured the game always had frame drops and looked like a blurry mess but I hooked my 360 back up and the game runs great. Not sure what's going on but I hope they fix it.

Also real talk, Gears 3 multiplayer is so good. I forgot how much fun it was.
 
OK. Tested Banjo nuts and bolts NTSC/US on my PAL Xbox One and it works. No region lock whatsoever.

Dunno what's with that Mike Ybarra tweet because I don't see any region lock so far.

P.S. Also tried to change my X1 region from USA to UK and the game still worked.

That's some great news! Region lock is not something tolerable in 2015.

Isn't banjo nuts a bolts a region free disc?
A lot of MS published discs were region free, few other publishers too like Ubisoft.
 
I uploaded my Super Meat Boy save to the cloud from 360 but the Xbox one didn't pick it up and instead created a new one. I think I just lost my save, anything I can do in this situation?
