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

Fox Mulder said:
Horizon 1 still looks good as a 2012 360 title. It has the best campaign and soundtrack. It actually feels like a festival and the radio djs are better. It predated the drivatar shit, so you actually get personalities to race against.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Horizon 3 may be fun, but I do miss the linearity and personality driven atmosphere of the first Horizon.
 
I saw in another thread that Tony Hawk Pro Skater HD was getting delisted from Steam soon. No mention of consoles, but it is on sale this week. Not the greatest remake, but I'll take it over THPS5 any day. Anybody think it will get the BC treatment today?

There is very little correlation between the sales and the backwards compatability announcements. So no, it's got multiple licences so unlikely. Might be a Halo this week.

The same was said about Forza Horizon because it had multiple licenses for music and cars, but MS made it happen. Of course it was 1st party, but still had the multi license hurdle.

I have this from 360 and I'd love to give it another spin soon

Contracts have different terms between different parties. We don't know those terms, and all it takes is one unavailable or non-compliant party to hold up a re-issuing of a game.

Acting like the challenge of multiple licensing parties is "one problem" that can be "solved" or "not solved" among all games is nonsensical.
 
I really hope they make Burnout Revenge BC... I've been racing online on the 360 lately and it would be nice to have the ability to record some races and take screenshots. As good as it is to have Paradise BC, it's not a racing game.

If a game is still available to buy on the marketplace then it has a good chance of being made BC right? right?

It would be nice if THPS HD made it into the program, game is on sale and its getting removed from Steam soon, which means it probably will be gone from the Xbox Marketplace as well

No need to be rude. Not trying to be "nonsensical". Just referencing another issue with multi-license that people thought would not hit BC.

This is one of the metrics they are following. Backwards compatability is not just for fans but a revenue stream. That's why your seeing games heavily weighted to XBLA titles because they are all digital so can be sold to Xbox One owners. Disc onLy titles not so much but a few were added to the store once they were made backwards compatible.

I'd love more publishers to support this.

Saying it was nonsensical wasn't meant to be rude. Just read it over again, and imagine a boring guy who hasn't shaved saying it.

Your repeating a discussion that's been had many many times here and just as your point of, sale = potential title this week also other games had licences = still could be this week. I'd suggest you listen to the viewpoints of people that are following this a lot closer than you aren't rather than moving the goalposts. If THPSHD comes out this week, lots of us will be happy and you can serve the crow.
 
THPS HD would be nice for those who got it on 360, but you might be better off just getting it on Steam for $2.

Saint's Row 1 really should come as it is a 360 exclusive.

I'm hoping that since Sonic Unleashed is on sale that it could come. +1 for console exclusives if so! (And I'd swap my PS3 copy for it!)

Not looking to serve crow as that would serve no purpose. Also, your comment about people following this thread or BC, well you should check my post for this thread alone. Also, Red Dead went on sale when it hit BC. Does that mean every game will? No, but it has happened. COD:BO 1 and COD:BO 2 both went on sale when they were announced. If I thought every Xbox 360 game that went on sale was going to BC then I would have posted 1000 plus times with that assumption, but I didn't and I wouldn't. Also at what point have I not listened to somebody else's viewpoints? I did not throw away his viewpoint. Actually the part about different contracts made sense, but then to say I was being "nonsensical" and assuming all were the same came off as rude to me, even though that was not the poster's intention.
 
Aw, I thought I owned Earth Defense Force, but apparently not. Hopefully it will make its way to GwG or Game Pass.
 
That's your opinion that somebody does not listen to your opinion. Nice to know your psychic and all and know what people listen to and don't listen to and that every post is ignoring your post. Must be nice being Carnac the Magnificent.

OT: Earth Defense Force: IA is a nice addition.

Fucking IN for F1 2014. Never saw that one coming but now I can finally play the game with a racing wheel! (Sold my old 360 wheel for a Thrustmaster TX).

Only if I had been given an "L", but I haven't. You tried to force your opinion as a viewpoint and failed because I don't see your opinion as one. So how about you stop trying to push your opinion on me as it is a waste of your time. Let's get back to actual BC talk.

The Sandlot games share their tech. IA was made by Vicious Cycle, based in NC, who used their own studio's engine.

I did not know that. I looked them up and see they made the Matt Hazard games as well as those Pac-Man Ghostly Adventure games.

You watch your mouth! I enjoyed insect armageddon. It had a nice bit of plolish and some good ideas added to it.
Click to expand...

Sorry, I'm a Sandlot purist and IA is a stain on the franchise, just like the mobile game, the tactics game, the PS2 fighter etc. It's garbage ;)

That said I'm happy it's being added if for no other reason than I'd like to see every 360 game become BC.
