You're not alone in that. I was about to come ask the same question.

 

[Pajamas]

You're not alone in that. I was about to come ask the same question.

I uninstalled it, rebooted my xbox and reinstalled it. Still won't start. Pretty sure it's broken for the moment.

Ah shit. It was doing that for me yesterday when I installed it with the follow trick. Hopefully it's just still rolling out and will work soon

 

[Estocolmo]

Since the XBLA port of Castlevania: SOTN is published by Konami, it makes me hopeful that the 360 Metal Gear & Zone of the Ender games are not 100% off the table.

That would be nice, if they made MGS HD collection and Zone of the Enders collection available as BC.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Fwiw if you pre-ordered Quantum Break your Alan Wake: AN code should be in your inbox now.

I hope so as well. Definitely want to play through Zone of Enders again.

 

[Xbudz]

I preordered yesterday and it said it can take 7 days to get the code. I don't have it yet.

Also, if SOTN isn't working, try a hard reset. It might work after that.

Was the 360 ZoE collection ever patched though? I remember it being a rough port and the PS3 version got a patch while 360 didn't.

IIRC no it wasn't.

I just restarted my Xbox One and it worked. Going through it now, still fucking great.

 

[ryan13ts]

Another batch of releases, Still no Dark Souls... *Sigh*

 

[WouldYouKindly]

Alan Wake, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Pac-man are now live and available for backwards compatibility!

*Runs to gamestop To buy alan wake* fuck yes finally something ive been wanting to play for a long time now. Come on crackdowm 1/2 get on my veins

 

[ElRenoRaven]

They're probably not obligated by contract to release those without bugs seeing as they are the publishers for those games.

Ironically, Reach game clips record at a good 30FPS, while the game plays at like 20. (even worse in Firefight, as you all know.)

To their credit Reach is pretty rock solid now. I was shocked. I played it again the other day after being turned off by how shit it ran when released and it is night and day now. I ran into only about 3 audio glitches and one bout of the game slowing down. Framerate was vastly improved and on par with the 360 version if not better shockingly enough. I was like damn this is how it should have released. It really was night and day.

 

[Genio88]

Fwiw if you pre-ordered Quantum Break your Alan Wake: AN code should be in your inbox now.

Yes i got that too, what about the original Alan Wake? when will they send the code for it?

 

[Bizzquik]

Excited for this; I will play all three games.

Does Xbox have Spring Sales...? I would love to buy several more BC games to show my support for the program.

There's a spring sale in 3 days

 

[schlew]

Just popped my Alan Wake disc in and it says that it isn't a BC title and to go to www.blahblahblah...

Is a disc version of AW working for anyone else?

unfortunately not tried a few times with my collectors edition(PAL)

 

[Lettuce]

Am i right in think the audio on Symphony of the Night was a lower sample rate than the PSX version in order for them to come under the XBLA capacity limit that used to be in place??

 

[Bizzquik]

So...Monday afternoon? (i.e. Major's page will say it starts Tuesday morning)

Fantastic! Thanks.

Worked for me (didn't boot it, when I left it was still downloading). I'm in Canada and a preview program member if that ends up mattering.

 

[Audette]

It's the worst version of SOTN. It's got some stuff ripped out and the audio quality is pretty rough.

I would recommend the PSX or even the retranslated PSP version over the 360 version.

Guess I'll just stick to using my PS3.

 

[MrBenchmark]

I'm in the USA and a first wave preview member not working for me.

 

[nate75]

Got AW installing from disc(PAL) by chnging region from UK to US if that helps anyone

 

[schlew]

Interesting, I'll have to try again as I'm in the same boat as you (Canadian and in the preview program).

 

[muzzymate]

Supposedly Alan Wake discs should now start working. I own it digitally so can't test. -

I had to restart my xbox for Alan wake to work.

I had done that earlier too that didn't do it they just fixed it.


EDIT yeah reboot didn't work earlier since they fixed it rebooted again and it's downloading and installing now.

Halo Wars...

 

[Conrad Link]

Awesome! SotN!

I have so many games to play atm, would have been nice months ago but oh well. Will get to it again in time.

Halo Wars...

i'd buy halo wars now if i didn't think it was coming to GwG

 

[hgplayer1]

https://twitter.com/EvilBoris/status/710532112827457537

Halo Wars...

Could that be only for people on the preview program?

 

[Najaf]

Still no Skate 3? Sigh... Maybe a simultaneous release alongside a skate 4 announcement at E3? (dreaming)

 

[Bits N Pieces]

Nah, it'll be preorder Halo Wars 2 and get Halo Wars free through BC.

 

[blame space]

But i JUST played SOTN on my vita like last month. Great game, great addition to the BC library.

You can now play a version with proper music

 

[Novocaine]

Yeah that's my plan. I am pretty excited to give the game a try though.

 

[Whogie]

SotN is running perfect as far as I can tell. Glad to have it.

 

[MCD]

Isn't the music compressed though? They had 150mb limit when it was released.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

i'll take my chances with it coming to GwG. if anything, i'll be able to pick up a cheap key for it if it never comes to GwG but does indeed become a preorder bonus for HW2

 

[op_ivy]

dont know where to put this but pm me if youd like a digital copy of alan wake's american nightmare

EDIT; aaaaand gone!

 

[pasta_fire]

Confused as to whether or not I need to buy Alan Wake now or wait until QB releases in order to get my code. What a pain in the ass.

 

[BTails]

I just received an email from Xbox, and something caught my eye...

Looks like the email was probably prebuilt, maybe these titles were supposed to be available in this past update. Nevertheless, I would assume they're coming very soon. EDIT: The email was title "Power Play: March Issue", and is from the Microsoft Store in Canada.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

pretty sure those were all games that were announced back in December. Might even be the same image, too.
