In EvB, I trust.

OHHH MAN it would be great if Rez HD is compatible!!!! Rez HD was so good

 

[Kadin]

Anyone experiencing issues with Borderlands? Every time I load into a game, my inverted controls are reset and I keep getting the 'you have X dlc downloaded' message which is basically 4 different popups.

The game is saving properly but the options resetting along with the popups continue to happen. Any ideas? I'm hoping it's just a Preview glitch...

Maybe hopeful thinking, but now that Games with Gold games are going to be BC moving forward, we might get some big releases now, maybe even some of those in the voting list that rank high!

I think the opposite. No incentive for companies to do that. Make their game BC so people will buy it on X1. The month's GWG titles suck in comparison to most other months, and I assume that will keep trending.

All I want is RDR is that too much to ask?

If I was a betting man, I would bank on RDR Remaster announced at E3 for Holiday 2016 and RDR2 coming Holiday 2017.

I had noticed that Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 appeared recently as GoD, but I thought Activision wasn't on board ?
I'd be tempted to double dip on the first one and try the second, even if they're a bit expensive for older games (40€ each !)

They just weren't on the list of publishers at Gamescom but that doesn't mean that they said no. Phil said talks were positive with Activision.

Posted it in the other topic but I've found an MS employee I'm 99% sure is testing BC, here's the games he's played recently:

Assassins Creed 2
CoD 4
Contra
Dirt 3
Fable 3
Frogger
Mass Effect
Mirrors Edge
Red Dead Redemption
Roboblitz
Super Meat Boy
Toy Soldiers Cold War
Undertow

I'm pretty sure we'll see the games in the above list that aren't BC already part of the launch list

 

[SalientChief]

I need these to show up:

Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
Virtua Fighter 2
Fighting Vipers
Sonic Fighters
Daytona USA
NiGHTS
Guardian Heroes
Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection

This. YES!!!

Plus PGR4 please.

 

[intheinbetween]

bought RDR GOTY edition last week anticipating this, don't fail me now MS..

 

[TheKeyPit]

Do we have any news on the technical side of backwards compatibility? I'm really interested, because I'm doing stuff with virtualization at my university right now.

 

[Call Me A Hero]

Gears of War 2 - Included with Gears Ultimate Edition before December 31st Nov
Gears of War 3 - Included with Gears Ultimate Edition before December 31st Nov
Gears of War Judgment - Included with Gears Ultimate Edition before December 31st Nov

Gears of War Xbox 360 version was also announced for BC as well.

 

[Mozz-eyes]

Any hope of Vanquish making it on?

 

[Justinh]

Gears of War Xbox 360 version was also announced for BC as well.

I imagine he didn't put it in the "coming soon" section with those games since it is already available for preview members and in the "new releases" section.

Oooh! Streets of Rage is up? Sweet! Hopefully after I'm done updating. Glad Bayonetta was announced. I just bought it off the marketplace yesterday. I already have it on Wii U, but I prefer the xbox controller.

 

[Chitown B]

if i was a betting man i'd say you'll have it next week

a remaster next week? I never said anything about BC

 

[Drago]

Any hope of Vanquish making it on?

SEGA is on board with BC so it's pretty dang likely. Maybe not at launch though.

 

[Head.spawn]

More Bomberman in my life. <3

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I found Cabin Defenders and Wildfire last year, they are both student games from a MS programming summer camp thing.

Here they are along side a few other bits I've found

SoTN? Niiice. I remember thinking I wish I could play it o 360 with a better d-pad and now I can xD

 

[goldenpp72]

Is there any rumor of Rez or Lumines being made available? I'd love to test my new sound system with them.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Tales of Vesperia has WAY too few votes. C'mon people

Tales of Vesperia....do it Bamco!

Tales of Vesperia (I need to play this soooooo much) and others."

I agree! ;o

The haven't announced anything. But XB1 uses HyperV containers, if you're interested.

COD4 & BadCo2 for MP
COD WaW & BO1 & 2 for Zombies coop
MGS HD
Tales of Vesperia
SC Conviction
Mass Effect trilogy
Sonic Racing Transformed
Enslaved
RE4
Silent Hill HD

Not really that much, besides that it is an emulator and not virtualization.
Recap of the Xbone design:
It runs 3 different OS at the same time.
1. "application os" this is where the usual apps run on. limited ressources because of
2. "game os" this is the OS where the game runs in. It gets the majority of system ressources and this is managed by
3. the hyper-v part of the OS. Basically this is the one which manages the ressources for both other OS types and is responsible for the scheduling between them.

Xbox 360 BC takes place in "game os". To the Xbone, a 360 game is an Xbone game application that contains an emulator running on x86-64 and the code that runs in there is emulating a ppc and more, so basically an emulator. There is no virtualization involved in emulating the 360 as it is a totally different machine.

Super Meat Boy on X1 erased my leader board score.

 

[shiftymorgan]

The main takeaway for me is that my backlog has come back to haunt me,

Never finished Lost Odyssey or Blue dragon.
Started tales of vesparia and struggled with intro.
final fantasy 13-2 and LR
Fallout 3 and NV
Theres a theme here...

Also the cool action stuff too. Would like to play vanquish.

No time to play as much any more though..

As someone who doesn't have Gold, am I stuffed with regards to transferring my saves?

 

[Chip N Chance]

I want MXGP and CoD4. Thats it and thats all.

 

[Broken Joystick]

CoD 4

Oh please be true. Saw CoD4 in CEX the other week and was going to buy it but remembered Activision didn't seem to be on board with BC. Might just go and buy it on the cheap if this is true.

Why no Dead Rising

Yep, it's in new releases since preview members already have access

And sorry Justin it was up briefly but taken down:..I need to edit that

 

[Chip N Chance]

Hasnt CoD4 gotten to the point of unplayable with hackers over the years. Like people would kill you and de-rank you back to 1 or something?

 

[papo]

Just a quick question. Back in the day I bought quite a few of the XBLA games on the 360. Games like Shadow Complex. Will those come into play and will I have access to them once they do? I haven't had my Xbox360 in years, but it should still be the same account.

Yes. Shadow Complex is supported, I have it installed on XB1. It just appears under Ready to Install.

 

[tim1138]

If Activision is on board, I hope the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games and Burnout Revenge are added.

 

[Waaghals]

You will have immediate access to all your digital games, provided they are BC. Shadow Complex is currently on the list. I have played it on my X1.

Yep as long as you use the same account that purchased Shadow Complex you will be fine. You just won't have your saves if you never saved them to the cloud

 

[ShinAmano]

When does this go live for everyone? Ive asked a thousand times to get into the preview with no luck.

Next Thursday when the NXOE rolls out

It only takes some seconds to fire up google...


BC starts on Nov 12 with NXOE.

With any game, the publisher has to give the OK for a game to be BC. So it's not all on Microsoft.

 

[moffattron9000]

So long as you have cloud saves, I see no problems for you.

 

[Monkeylord]

All my saves are on a USB stick.

 

[Alx]

All my saves are on a USB stick.

You should be able to copy/move them from USB to cloud and vice versa (except for occasional games that don't support it), provided you have access to a 360 of course.

 

[speedomodel]

I still need to cleanup Black Ops II campaign for achievements. It being added would definitely make it happen sooner.

 

[Monkeylord]

You should be able to copy/move them from USB to cloud and vice versa (except for occasional games that don't support it), provided you have access to a 360 of course.

Everything I've found says you need Gold too... is that no longer the case?

 

[papo]

Yes. Shadow Complex is supported, I have it installed on XB1. It just appears under Ready to Install.

hmmm so is it already playable or at least I can find it through my xbox one marketplace?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

hmmm so is it already playable or at least I can find it through my xbox one marketplace?

Right now, only if you're in the new UI preview/beta. Should be a part of the first wave of BC titles for everyone starting on the 12th when the new UI and BC feature goes wide.
