Just gonna go ahead & buy Asura's Wrath while it's $4.99 now.
It really is, surprisingly enough. Didn't play its sequel but 1000'd it.
Also the last non-talking Lego game I played until Jurassic World.
They need to go back to the mime humor, I swear.

Is there any reason to be hopeful that it will ever come to bc? I'd think the legal trouble they found themselves in with that franchise would prevent it from coming...

Lego Indiana Jones? Isnt' that franchise too violent for lego?
Anyway, quoting to the inmortal Inafune-San, "better than nothing".

How is Dark Souls 1 on the Xbox One? I know that originally it was supposed to have framerate issues and frame pacing issues that were even worse than on 360. And added black crush too, I heard. But since the huge improvements across the board to backwards compatibility late last year, has that game specifically been given a boost?

Sonic Generations never :/

It has a more stable frame rate, but nothing spectacular. However I felt it played better on X1 and that is what I finished it on. Blighttown is still a mess, but that is due to poor optimization in the original game. Only so much BC can help with.
I wonder what Scorpio will do to all bc games.
If S improves BC games over vanilla Xbone by a bit, it's only safe to assume Scorpio will provide a boost on its own.

Go ahead and buy a 360 because I'm 99% sure that game is never coming to BC due to the legal and licensing entanglements.
An X1 BC version is still a new "release" even if they don't sell it and would likely require additional agreements which EA are unlikely to get and have little reason to pursue.
It is still sold digitally on the Xbox marketplace.
They're literally still making money off of it. You can go right now and buy it on xbox.com.
I've given up though...I wish EA/Microsoft would "flip the switch". Heck, make it not available to buy on the Xbox One if you have to (which wouldn't make sense). I just want to be able to play it.
you should try the Lego games. They're fun and funny, and have a lot to do.

In a perfect world all that extra horsepower would provide locked frame rates and full 1080p for all BC games and maybe even some at 4K. However, pumping up the resolution will reveal how ugly textures in some games are. On second thought, i'll just take 1080p with locked frame rates and AA.
What? Where is the "Buy"-button?
For 360 games? I highly doubt that. But it will be an awesome way to play the old games. And the best way, of course.

Well at least its the good one.
I would argue that MS has broken more ground in its respective wheelhouse within the span of a year than the Wii did in its lifespan. Plenty of great content on the VC but some very glaring omissions in the end. I think given another year, everyone but the most diehard fans will be able to play every game they want to on the XB1, or maybe they'll just have that one obscure licensed game that they're missing.
If you drop out Racing, Sports, and peripheral games - we have a large percentage of the back catalog available.
Microsoft is on track to release as many games to BC in 2 years as games Nintendo released on VC in 6 years.
And for no extra charge.

Has anybody asked or has EA or Xbox made a statement on whether Mass Effect 2 and 3 will be added digitally to buy on the Xbox Live Marketplace?

They should have the GPU grunt on Scorpio to handle 2x resolutions (ie 720p to 1440p, etc), with some to spare (Scorpio GPU is ~4.5x XB1, and would only need to render 4x the pixels).
The technical aspects of implementing that in a way that doesn't break half the games is another thing entirely, of course.
I'd be surprised if the team isn't at least experimenting with it, though.

EA Access has them digital.

I got Lego Indiana Jones with my Xbox 360 along with Kung Fu Panda. I spent about 15 minutes with each. Not sure if Indy is a bad Lego game, or if Lego games just aren't for me.

I know, but you can't buy them individually to own for good.

If you want to own them for good, best to buy physically since Xbox servers will not always be up to the end of time
Lego games are ass. Don't feel bad.

I prefer the old Lego games when they were a bit more simpler, more liner and I could just play co-op with the GF without getting confused where to go every 4 seconds with terrible split screen/open world gameplay.
Such a shame.

I want to own them digitally since they're already backward compatible. Somebody get Phil Spencer on the line and hook this up.
I don't think it's a matter of ability but if they are allowed to do that. It would make many remasters that pubs are trying to sell obsolete.
I think it'd be best for MS to only increase framerate for 360 games and not do even more tinkering with the games.

This is wrong, since you HAVE to download the digital version. The disc is just the key.
