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

Halo Wars plays pretty damn well. Really cool to see it again.
 
I finished watching the last episodes of "Twin Peaks" today. Great timing to play through Alan Wake first now and then Alan Wake's American Nightmare.
 
I would probably go out and buy an xbone within the next week, if I could play Mass Effect 3 multiplayer on it. Even after 4 years of playing that game, I can still have fun with it. Come on MS, make it happen.

That would be great if I could play the multiplayer again, but if its a multi disc game I don't think we'll be seeing it anytime soon.
 
I have the Nampo museum virtual arcade compo disc which I used to get Ms pax-man and pax-man CE.


WHERE THE FUCK IS PAC-MAN?

Like I can't install Pac-man. :(
I honestly didn't know that was a possibility before. I bought the individual releases of Dig Dug, Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, and Pac-Man before that first collection disc came out and was able to download and play Pac-Man just fine this morning :-/
 
I'm in the preview program, can Halo Wars be installed from the disc or is it digital only? If the disc works I'm off to cex to grab a copy, it's only £3 in there and I miss that game.
 
Some BC titles will be on sale in the spring sale this week.

Then, starting on March 22 for one week only you can get great deals on digital Xbox games, PC games and Movies and TV from the Xbox Store. Save up to 40 to 60 percent off on games, with some at more than 60 percent off. The sale includes deals on top titles such as Fallout 4, Halo 5, Black Ops III, Far Cry Primal, Rainbow 6 Siege and over 150 offers. In addition, there will be deals on several backwards compatibility games such as Fallout 3 and Just Cause 2, now playable on Xbox One.
 
When i try putting in my Alan wake Collectors Edition disc it says "this title does not work on xbox one. go to www.microsoft... yada yada for a list of compatible games..."

sad panda :(

Weird. I have that version but I haven't tried it (bought digital for like $5 for convenience). I don't remember it being different. The second disc is the bonus stuff.
 
Do you still have a 360?

Yeah, I do. All I play on it now is Walking Dead (just finished chapter 3) and ME3 online.

That would be great if I could play the multiplayer again, but if its a multi disc game I don't think we'll be seeing it anytime soon.

Yeah, I saw in other forums that there was some technical issue with multi-disk games. Too bad. ME3 is great. I wish MS would recreate just the ME3 multiplayer portion for xbone owners. I suspect its ftp-ish model made EA a good chunk of money. I think they could have continued that on the xbone... if they wanted to.
I want to buy a next gen console for CoD (mainly), but I am looking for another good reason too. ME3 would have been perfect.
 
Still wondering when multi-disc games that were never available digitally will make their way to the program.

Also wondering when EA will put some backward compatibility games on their service (beyond Plants vs Zombies).
 
Downloaded my free copy of Borderlands. The controls are sluggish as hell. I don't remember the game playing like this on 360. Input lag strikes again?

I'm not saying there's no additional input lag when playing it on the Xbox One, but I distinctly remember Borderlands 1 feeling really sloppy in the aiming department.
 
I never played BL1 on the Xbox but even on the PC the controls felt a little off using a controller IIRC.

Just got up to the reverse castle in SotN and it's playing like a dream so far.

You mean you finished watching season 2. The last episodes have yet to air.

I don't say this to be pedantic but because it's a genuinely exciting thing to think about.

Track down the live action Alan Wake tie in. I think it was called bright falls. It was very good.
 
So i havnt had a chance to run to gamestop to pick up alan wake yet my wifes been sick, so i checked the xbox web store and i thought hey if its 15 ill take the 5 spot hit (gamestop has it for 10) but 20 dollars? who are they kidding with these dogital prices sony and microsoft need to wake up digital will never take off if shits double the price jesus.


Side note i dont own a 360 to use to buy stuff if i buy it from the webstore will games auto become on my install list? I wanna get american nightmare just not sure how it all works

Yeah, I meant the last currently available episodes.

I watched maybe 3 episodes of the live action show tie in back then and somehow I didn't watch the rest. I'll do it right now before finally starting Alan Wake.
 
Halo Wars is running very well. I was not sure with the Xbox One CPU being not that great, but it turned out wonderful. Have played a few matches and not a hitch in sight. Love it!!!

You can't install XBLA arcade compilation discs on 360 because otherwise you could install the disc on many 360 consoles and have the games unlocked. So there is no digital purchase version available and as such cannot tun on XB1.
 
Yay, my combo disc is finally working again! Just got Pac-man and Galaga installed. i guess service was just glitchy. Of course the disc needs to be in the slot to auth, but it plays fine!
