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

You sound pretty ungrateful dude - no need for it. Plenty of good games have been released - including this batch (Reach and Deus Ex). And may I remind you this is free....so stop sounding like a spoilt brat.

Again don't say somethings coming in Dec then if you knew it wasn't coming it's complete lack of communication on ms part flaunt how certain games are going to be there and bam nothing and it's technically not free I never owned a 360 so I still have to go and buy these games thanks and this is not just a feature they gave us because they were good guys this is a feature they hyped to shit and has failed to deliver
 
Are we absolutely sure Reach won't be added to MCC one day?

I know it doesn't have Chief but neither does ODST.

I highly doubt it. I am pretty sure in one of those sprint episodes 343 mentions that most/all of the team had moved onto Halo 5 on. I guess they could have someone else do that port, but that was such a disaster with the rest of the MCC I dont think they will.

I am so fucking pissed that I got rid of my Reach disk a while ago because I figured there was no chance for BC this gen. I also missed out on it the month it was GWG. I am a sad panda today.

How did you get all those 360 achievements?

Holy shit. You are acting like an insane child.

When did they announce specific games for December before today? Also, obviously the person saying it was free was talking about the service and not the games. It would be ludicrous to expect the games to also be free unless you are WouldYouKindly, maybe. So, that 'technicality' is most definitely irrational.
 
OK so they implied it same difference you me and everyone else thought it would be here in Dec so don't even play like that's not the case

They didn't though. They simply said that more titles are on the way including so and so. Which is presumably true, they never said anything about it coming in December, or any month. It could be next December for all we know.

Our launch of 104 titles on Nov. 12 is just the beginning. You can expect new Xbox One Backward Compatible games to be announced on a regular basis, starting in December. More titles are on the way, including fan favorites like Halo Reach, Halo Wars, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Skate 3.


Of course they wanted people to think that it would be December with the "starting in December" just a sentence before probably to sell consoles, but that's what Larry gets paid for and that's not what he said at all. Any misreading is on you really, it's smart to write it like that but he's not wrong and it's actually a lot clearer than just about all of their PR.

Obviously I know the feature is free not the games I'm not idiot


LOL at everyone jumping on me because I had an Opinion...about a service for a gaming device that I own.... I'm allowed to state my thoughts on the matter

The fact is ms has failed on there promise that is feature would be worth while period handful of good games but no heavy hitters what so ever after two months yeah I think that's a little pathetic

Your telling me Sony can get Rockstar to give an OK to gta 3 and vice and san andras to add trophy support and upgrade it but ms can't get rdr? Give me a break
 
I can only download the trial for the Doritos' DLC. I remember I used to own it (I even got every achievement) but it appears with a price on xbox.com. They delisted and relisted it, didn't they?

No point in downloading the game again if I can't play everything I own, I loved that game (got every achievement on both games).
 
Are they serious right now? No bioshock or blops or skate? Wasnt they confirmed for dec? What about any good game for that matter? this "feature" is slowly becoming a huge joke if this is the quality and out put every month then no thank you

Did your 360 spontaneously combust as soon as you bought an XB1? No? Then kindly keep your ungrateful entitlement to yourself.

2010 at its best.

DLC not downloaded.

Very strange. Xbox Live isn't even an option for me in the game.
 
Eh, that's one hell of an assumption considering that no one else has been able to come anywhere close to that when adding to their list of supported titles for a software-based emulation anywhere that I know of. Not Ninty, not Sony, not anyone. I mean, I get that there's going to be disappointment about the relatively low number added compared to the starting wad of 104, but let's be just a little more realistic about the pace, especially when this is all still a free service.

Spencer has said it's very easy and all they need is the OK from publishers. As it's like a 360 running on the X1 and needs little extra work. So, it's fair to assume that since they want people to move over (and the 360 is already 10 years old) that they would push everything out they could in order to make fans happy but also move on from the 360 hardware.

I'm pretty sure RDR is coming and presumably other non GTA 5 Rockstar titles too.

Thing is, it's not as simple as flicking a switch. MS clearly has a lot of work to do to get these running, all they need is publisher approval to start working on it. There has been so many red flags pointing to this, even if MS won't come out and say it it's pretty clear.

Look at what they've done so far. Borderlands 1 was delayed like 3 weeks going into preview, 104 titles at launch with the vast majority of them being small arcade games and now this months games which were released/announced later than they should have been and are again, small selection most arcade titles. If it was as simple as flicking a switch, we'd of had far more titles than 104 at launch and games wouldn't be getting delayed left right and centre.

They've failed? After a month? Get some perspective, holy shit, man. And reach and Deus Ex are 'heavy hitters'.

cliffs: they are being dishonest in their wording on purpose.

Never owned one just played one..I do however own an x1 which this lackluster feature is on i can't believe so many of you are defending this feature at its current state the titles just don't justify the feature yet I might have picky tastes that's on me I will say I've enjoyed the gears games now that I finally got the codes for them but that's another entitlement issue for anther day
 
OK so they implied it same difference you me and everyone else thought it would be here in Dec so don't even play like that's not the case

100% agreed. I took it as MS was coming to each of our houses to personally tell us each game and then install them all to our consoles at no price if we didn't previously own them, because you know Backwards Compatibility really just means entire catalog of last console for free NOW. Can't believe M$$$$ screwed this up so badly.



/s
 
People expecting all these titles when it took 6 months to 104 titles at Backwards Compat launch lol. Expect about 20 new additions each month and them spreading out the big titles between each month.

You don't have picky tastes. You are being insufferable by being irrationally unreasonable. That is why 'people are jumping on' you.

It can't be that easy when they have to patch some of the games to get them running better.

Heavy hitters to who I'm Surely not the only one not into halo and human again that's falls on my tastes which is on me I guess I'm just frustrated I expected more from it was one of the main reasons I bought the x1 because I did miss the majority of 360 titles

Also one of the FAQ's on xbox.com said October as a release date before it was taken down, then it turned out to be November so it likely got delayed internally too, probably to meet the "over 100 games" mark lol.

I'm disappointed in the selection of games too, but there was no way we were getting Bioshock/Cod/Halo Reach&Wars among 100 other titles this month.

That is a crazy run-on sentence.

Edit: They have ~120 titles working which is not bad in my book. You need to wait, man.

It has only been a month since it kicked off. Give me a break.
 
Nothing really from that list I'm interested in playing that I haven't already. I still don't think most publishers are fully on board with this idea to be honest.
 
Some technical issues sometime sadly, FPS seems also to drop around 20, some texture pop up and some weird effect with metallic structures. I took some screenshots:



 
MS mentions games will start filtering into BC starting in December. Names games that are on the horizon to come out. Some gamers interpret this as ALL the games coming out in December. Haha. Oh wow. :)
