Weird they'd make all the BS titles BC with the collection coming.
Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it
- Thread starter Banjo-Kazooie
- Start date
Castle Crashers was made into BC a few weeks (before or after) Castle Crashers Remastered was released for free (for a limited time) for owners of the orirginal.
So, it could be.

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.
These titles have been listed as "On the way" since November 9 - http://majornelson.com/2015/11/09/t...ackward-compatibility-games-is-now-available/
Sigh - I really want to return to Rapture & Columbia.
Yeah, no surprises on the titles, just the fact that it says "now available", when they're very clearly not.

I hope, I would be super excited about the Bioshock games and Skate 3.
Now I'll finally play through this game!
They DID include Gears 1 360 for free via BC if you got Gears Ultimate. Maybe the Collection will come with the 360 versions for shiggles like with Gears.
Gears 1, 2, 3 and J were all free w/Gears Ultimate. Not just the first game.

I was about to post the same thing when I saw that in my email.
The thing is ... it says New games now available

Not necessarily. Not sure if I'm allowed to link or not, so I'll just image quote...

Bummer..
Yeah. I mean that it isn't unheard of for MS to bundle the original 360 version along with a remake or up-port of the same game

The "Spunky Cola Special" DLC for Monday Night Combat was also never fixed ;-;
Has anybody experienced any problems with this game, btw? I know there's the general lag problem because of P2P, but does it have frame drops during high waves?

That's some kind of PR damage control I'm sure, it's no coincidence that Halo Wars has been linked with users's 360 purchases

Just saw this. Super excited, I've been waiting a while to play this one. Although, the way preview is in all caps (after saying at the start Preview Members) makes me wonder if it's more a test build and not perfectly running.

Interesting. Wonder what they are using the preview program to gather info about.

BTW if you're following Halo Wars and have the preview dashboard you can now download it from the following page now.

NEXT LEVEL lame™
Interestingly enough, they actually bumped up the allowed file size with the release of SOTN. Must have not been enough.

Well Shit. Got it installed but It took 2 restarts before it would start. Oh well time to play.

The audio leaves a lot to be desired
Is it choppy audio or just the quality? the XBLA port has lower quality sound to fit into the (at the time) size limits.

Wait, Halo Wars is free for preview members?

No, it is just able to be played by preview members that own the game.

Halo Wars players, anything worth noting?

Game seems to be running fantastically, from my experience. Playing the lead-up and some combat areas in Chapter 2. It plays exactly like I remember the 360 playing it. No noticeable frame rate or input issues for me. They got this one right!
Edit: Only disappointment - I was hoping they would throw in the base image the Director's Commentary DLC that was included in one of the special editions.

Only issue I've found is the occasional audio scratchiness. Other then that it runs great.

Is all the DLC for Halo Wars free?
I have found scratchy audio to happen in every game, though it happens rarely.

SOTN won't pop up in my games ready to download section. Any suggestions?

Odd because I've only found it to happen in 2 games I've played. Those being Red Dead the short time it was playable and then Halo Wars. Who knows. either way the audio bugs like that aren't enough to make it unplayable. That's for sure.
It definitely doesn't make the games unplayable, since it happens so rarely. To illustrate go to 4:30 in this Digital Foundry video:

That scratchy sound you can hear if you're observant, happens in every game I've tried, though extremely rarely. It's a very minor issue and doesn't take away from how awesome the backwardscompatibility program is.

I just saw that Gamespot put Dark Souls on their BC list, went to download it, and it's not showing up in my tray to install list for some reason. I own it digitally so... Wth!
Side note SOTN is and its glorious.
