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

The only bc games ive put alot of time into so far are banjo, and beyond good and evil. Ive been meaning to play fallout 3 but theres still so much of 4
 
I would try that. If you still have access to your old account Fable 2 should show up in your Licenses which should be reason enough to grant you a code.

Other question: Any word about a holiday sale yet?

Hopefully. I'm going through support now and hopefully I will be able to convince them to get me a code for the actual Fable 2 Games on Demand version.

I didn't know they released Fable 2 as an episodic, interesting. You're best bet is to contact Xbox support, maybe they'll give you a key to the full game or something. Worth a try.

Yep, back in 2009 when Fable 2 first came to Games on Demand, you could only get it as an Episodic version which was called "Fable 2 Episodes". The game was split into 5 parts, and you got the first part for free. Each additional part cost something like $12 at the time and as you played to the end of the 'act' -basically after the final major quest for each area- a popup would ask you if you wanted to purchase the next episode.

At the time it was really cool, but Microsoft ended up discontinuing it a year later without any warning, removing it from the marketplace and everything. The problem for me is that while I own Fable 2, the BC version uses the license from the Games on Demand version which came out after the Episodic version was pulled. So while I have Fable 2, I don't have the right version of Fable 2. It's weird
 
Console updated itself and I hopefully put in Halo Reach to see if it would work but it didn't. Wish they'd come out with a date for the next wave.

Sacred 3 is supposed to be a Games With Gold title this month, but it's not currently backwards compatible. As the new GWG titles are supposed to go up today (or tomorrow if you're PST), hopefully we'll find out soon.

They don't need to update the console to add BC games I think.

There was another update for Fable 3 yesterday, 535 MB. I think we're REALLY close
 
That updated list has to happen today... I hope this long wait wont be the case for january or february. Would like to see news on new BC games at the end of every month. Not in the middle.

I own Fable 3 digitally but it's not showing up on my ready to install/download list on my Xbox One (and I'm in the Preview Program).

Is your version NTSC? if so is this like early on in BC testing that a lot of PAL games were not showing up?

Nah. Fable 3 is not even on the official list. I don't know how some people got that one bc.

I got it through GwG, PAL version. They accidentally uploaded it to the public with BC, but the game wasn't playable online until a few days ago.
Still, I can't play it because I had DLCs and they're not yet on the Store, so I can't load my save. But the game now starts, and I didn't get a single crash when launching it after the latest update, so they definitely fixed something.

Thanks. I guess it's not ready to be tested yet.

I think I'll try and get my save game onto the cloud in the meantime.

I expect it will be this thursday or friday that they will announce it.
Heck I wouldn't be surprised if they waited till next week.
 
the new 360 game that isnt on the BC list yet will go live in some hours in some regions... something should happen today.

I don´t know if this is any indication. We know that this game will be BC. They don´t have to add any games because of this.

But I do think the announcement will be today - I think MS made a couple of annoucements on a Tuesday :D

They'll want all 360 games with gold games available from the start though, not half way through the free period. There's no way it'll be next week, that's Christmas week and I they'll have a few days off and I can't see them releasing a big batch of BC titles the same week millions of new xbox ones are being turned on just incase something fucks up. Phil also said the middle of the month everything should be done, it is currently bang in the middle of the month.

But it's cutting it close since I think they'll want to announce it first then make it available few days later to keep it being talked about. My guess is list today then the games are made available tomorrow night which is still technically the 16th even though the games switched over hours before. But I thought they'd reveal the list on Friday for a release today, so what do I know lol.

Edit: I can see them revealing a few big titles (RDR, etc) for BC in attempt to counter Sony's Star Wars bundle with the film hype too, knowing big games like RDR will be BC might sway peoples choice of console when buying into next gen through Star Wars hype.
Just let me believe RDR is coming soon :(
 
I just hope they're still working on the input lag issues plaguing most games. Gears 3 is pretty much unplayable online right now, Geometry Wars definitely feels off too.

While I am very much enjoying having my 360 games work on the XB1, my hope is that they arent finished yet because it's less than perfect as it stands
 
Anyone know when Blops1 is coming? It's supposed to be here this month right?

it was mentioned that it would be coming, they then mentioned that the next batch of games will be announced mid december (anytime now).

People assumed that those two things are related but we do not know exactly when it's coming, just that it *might* be part of the december update, along with just about any 360 game really

Sacred 3 hasn't been added formally to the list (at least, the one I'm looking at from Major Nelson's site), but it's now showing up for download on Xbox One.

I'm curious why the one on the site is listed as having been updated on Dec 10th. It's certainly not the full month update - I wonder if there was a small tweak that's hidden in amongst the list, or even (theoretically) if that's when Sacred 3 was actually added, they just forgot to also include it.
 
I guess they won't update the list until the official announcement, which is looking more and more like it'll coincide with the Countdown sale.
 
Yeah seriously it's kind of annoying that they don't give us any specifics about when we will find out whats added. I hope we get something before this week is over.

Its even more annoying that people like Phil, Mike and Nelson ignore the question regarding new bc games. But they interact with idiots like Tim Dog or whatever his name is...

I still don't understand who the fuck this Tim Dog idiot is..as a long time Xbox player his twitter feed annoys the living shit out of me.
 
I don't have high hopes for Bound By Flame being one of the B/C games but it's on sale for a fiver.
I'd buy it for sure if it was B/C.
 
maybe stop posting in this thread until the announcement. Every time I see this bumped I assume it's been posted. with that, i stop posting until then.
 
Still nothing... MS needs to get a set date going each month for these games like games with gold. If it means delaying a game or two till next month then fine.
 
I was just testing Gears 2, 3 and 4. They work effortlessly.

Incredible. It is a true emulator.

I guess every single 360 game should work if the pubs/ IP rights holders don't block it. In fact if it weren't for the downloading the game part even if you have a disc I'm pretty sure some hackers would unpack the emulator and make every disc-based 360 game run. Too bad it cannot happen now.
 
Trading whichever gears game someone wants for a just cause 2 code. PM me
Edit: Got it. I have the other gears codes so if anyone has anything else to trade then pm me
