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

Any chance or hint that dark souls 1 will be back compat? About the only 360 game I care to replay (I shudder at the thought of blight town on BC though).

I've seen this pop up against recently, along with Bioshock 2.

Given how bad DS's framerate could be on 360, I can't imagine it will be the most pleasurable of games to play on BC.
 
A new Xbox One update is out right now...

Please let this be the savior from the hell that is the PS4 love fest (Bloodborne & MLB The Show exclusives yay!) that has plagued us since that other half of this decade!!!

Oh please let me get some from that glorious and sexy CLOUD action.... maybe a little Kinect love on the side??? If you're feeling up to it... maybe a peak at HoloLens baby?

Seriously..There are some really shitty bugs in the NXBE for "power" users that got screwed over the holidays.... here's to hoping...

This was really good, nice work.

Is reach better now?? I deleted it last night. Amazing how much better the rare stuff runs.

I don't expect much from black ops 1. Probably will be 20fps and lag and glitches. Was hoping this was the one game I could out away my 360 and just play on xb1.
 
Wow... this is fun...I feel so welcomed... Thanks!

Every console update & improvement is appreciated, especially when other consoles never seem to give a fuck (or have features worth turning it on for daily)!

I'm still kinda shocked that the MS SW Engineers have an update ready to go right now.... no rest for the weary but puck them apparently!
 
I thought it ran pretty good back in the day,and it would be emulated the same.....

Why would you assume the emulator performance would be the same? The results have been pretty much worse across the board for bigger 3d "full" games.

Black ops is one of the first near 60fps games they will be emulating so it will be interesting to see how it holds up. I expect disappointment for now.

Just try to stay positive and don't make posts that sound like you want one company to do better than another company and you'll be better welcomed.
 
Yeah, no doubt, good advice.....pissed off that the only reason to turn on a PS4 since launch (I've bought 2), is Amplitude but they couldn't manage any decent licensed songs... in house only mostly (please correct me if wrong).

Very disappointing compared to all the regular updates, exclusives, and overall improvements (except for the holiday break) with a lot of improvements and new interface dropped on everyone, despite the complicated AV set-ups it was intended for.
 
If RDR2 is in dev, maybe they are holding on to it for a pre-order bonus.
Or maybe they just saw that they sold millions by pushing gtav on the new gen and are considering doing the same with rdr. Some improvements in controls, a few upgrades here and there, and they'll likely make a lot more money than simply having the game added to BC
 
I'm like 90% confident that RDR is being tested for BC.

The thing is with all these big games, I think MS and publishers alike would rather wait until the 360 store is integrated with xbox one because it's gonna help with sales a lot. Whereas right now it's mostly smaller games with the odd big game but nothing that's gonna set the charts on fire unlike RDR etc.

Yep. I agree. publishers are holding on for the store to hit. It only makes sense.

I'm almost done playing through Gears 2 via back compat. It might just be my imagination but I think performance is better now than when I originally tried it - runs nearly perfectly.

There were a number of weird glitchy graphical effects such as poor cutscene transitions and shoddy animation, but I YouTubed the cutscenes and even played them natively on 360 and turns out that Gears 2 just has those problems, not a Back Compat issue.

Really cool! Amazing how well this game holds up.


The weirdest part to me now is just the difference in the dead zone of the controller. That's why Gears 2 feels weird and a little sloppy.
 
I thought it ran pretty good back in the day,and it would be emulated the same.....

It didn't, it was probably the worse COD game regarding performance. A napalm strike would be a fps drop guaranteed, it was really annoying.

Still, I'd love to go back to old zombie maps. Zombie nowadays is about easter eggs and dumb stories, I want it to go back to survival and the occasional easter egg.

Hmm, I'm 90% sure that RDR will not come to BC because Rockstar is working on a remaster.
 
Why does that matter? Read Dead came out the same year that Metro 2033, God of War 3, and Heavy Rain came out which all have been remastered (or are in the process of).

Red Dead didn't get a PC release though and the sequel will be out this year or next most likely, a remastered version missed the boat if you ask me.


Anyways my 90% came from that I've caught an MS employee testing it among other games which came true and EvB finding listings of it on it on the xbox store and he's been pretty damn spot on with his lists even the obscure games. Not tales from my ass/wishful thinking like the shanafan thinks if I'm reading the post right, if not I apologize, it sounded like a sarky response.
 
Red Dead didn't get a PC release though
This to me would be the most likely explanation for no remaster, afaik RDR never went to PC because the console versions were duct taped together on the tech side and a ridiculous amount of work would be needed to port it to PC which current generation consoles are similar to.
 
Gears: UE? TMCC? Rare replay? All are/have games older than 7 years remastered in the last 2 years.

Gears UE is a remake.
Halo MCC is a collection that includes 2 remasters and 2 remakes
Rare Replay is a collection of 30 games, but not a single one is remastered, they're all emulated.
 
Why on earth has Digital Foundry not done an input lag test on some key titles?

I dont know, but what we really need is an overall look at these games now that BC is officially out. Some of these games need serious work (the GOW games, Halo Reach) on not just an input lag level but also on the technical end, too.

The Gears games got an update that improved it somewhat but they're still pretty off in many aspects. It would be nice if someone put some pressure on MS to both get this stuff working better and also for them to be more upfront about any fixes they have in the works.

These games will always be off somewhat. They will never be perfect due to the fact this is software emulatiom.
 
Does the compatibility work with cut games?
I redeemed the codes for Rainbow Six Vegas 1 and 2 which came with Siege and I could download Vegas 1 but Vegas 2 does not show up. I checked on the xbox website and it shows me that I have purchased the RB6V2-DE (german cut version).
