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

Think we'll get Nier anytime soon? I've heard great things about it, so I settled on buying it for PS3 (Even though it's twice as expensive for that system) but I'm still hoping for it to go BC.

Random off-topic question too, why the hell is the PS3 version of a multiplatform title almost always more expensive than 360 version?. I notice this pretty much anytime I''m in gamestop and I can't figure out the reason why. It makes it pretty much no brainier to go 360 if you've got the option, especially with BC now.

Probably more supply of 360 titles. I'm pretty sure it always had the higher attach rate.
 
It's because the X1 doesn't connect to the 360 Store directly, it basically makes the 360 website look pretty.

I guess I'd be "ok-ish" with them demanding a payment method for no reason whatsoever if they would actually make the 360 GWG titles pop up an IE window with the webstore on the Xbox One, instead of masking it as an Xbox One transaction.

not to mention..this method does not allow you to use any money already on your account..but goes straight to charging your card

this needs to be fixed

ASAP.
Firing up my 360 just so I can use funds on my wallet is ridiculous, frankly. I want to spend money from my Xbox ONe, MS. Is that too much to ask? It's not in beta anymore, you know.

They did this because people didn't want to open the website to purchase 360 games. I didn't have a problem by using a pc or even the X1 browser (that's what I've always done even before buying an X1 so I could just turn on the 360 and make it download without messing with the laggy dashboard), but that apparently bothered a lot of people so they made this "solution". I don't think they can do much more without completely change the 360 Store and it's probably not worth it.
 
Strange situation where Sega have made Golden Axe Arcade BC.. But you can't buy it from Xbox One or Xbox website.

That is weird. You can still buy the collection though, and that's BCable too. I guess they just wanted to make sure that people who bought the older version weren't left out, but I wonder why they didn't do this for Streets of Rage 2, too...

Maybe it has to do with sales? Like, people weren't buying the standalone Golden Axe and since they already had the collection they just delisted it, but people maybe still buy Streets of Rage 2 for half-price so they kept it available after the collection launched? (actually I guess this doesn't make sense since then why isn't the Streets of Rage 2 standalone BCable, too?)
 
I don't think there is any logic or reason to what games they put up. I also have Golden Axe on my Ready To Install list... if they're putting up delisted games then it gives me hope that OutRun Online Arcade and Afterburner Climax will appear too.
 
In the case of the delisted Sega titles being available to those who bought them before they were replaced by newer releases, I think it's mostly down to the fact that they weren't delisted due to licenses expiring. Outrun 2 Online Arcade, After Burner Climax, Sega Rally Online Arcade, and others all had various manufacturer licensing attached from Ferrari, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Toyota, Ford, Subaru, and others. Sonic, Golden Axe, and many other iconic Sega games are wholly owned by Sega with no other IP under license used within them, so it makes more sense that they could be freely available while the others remained locked to the original hardware platform for owners who had bought them prior to delisting, but I'd love to be wrong and have all of those to play on X1. Perhaps it's just down to prioritization due to what can and cannot be sold in stores now.

In any case, I wish Sega would just go in and scrub out, alter, and otherwise eliminate the offending models and references to those third party IP and re-release those games as 99.9% owners surely wouldn't care just as long as they could continue to play them today without limitation. Sega has quite a few great titles just sitting there waiting to be sold and played by people today and they choose to do nothing. Disappointing.


On another note, L4D2 needs more updates to its performance as I've run into so many instances of slideshow moments during more intense areas, particularly with the Hard Rain campaign.
 
Never played dead space so I'll have to grab that. I was also happy to see left for dead 2 show up this week, haven't tried it yet but that and ssx were 2 of the games I wanted the most. They need to do ssx!!!!!!!!
 
If a CoD is not big, wtf is??

COD is not a real game, true gamers only play Dark Souls, don't you know? :P

I tried going back to older CODs but it's not the same. COD4 has too few europeans so there's too much lag (and the game is now 9 years old), MW2 is full of tryhards looking for a Nuke, COD2 is dead. I haven't tried the others because those 3 are the only MP I'd play again.
BO and BO2 should be there for Zombie alone.
 
how is dead space? havent played it in a few years so i cant remember how it performed and want to know if BC is helping to run it better

It runs pretty much the same as on 360, which is pretty decent. It's still a great game, been enjoying replaying it.
 
He has been taking pot shots at CoD for most of the thread.

Which I don't really understand.
I'm not a fan myself, but Blops2 is on the top of the BC voting list, so clearly people still love it.

Because there are already 3 CoD games out on XboxOne, with another one coming this year.

The BC team should concentrate on stuff like Dead Space, RDR etc Something that isnt anymore on XboxOne.

People voting for this CoD games probably think that they will play like a remaster... Cant wait to see the complaining about lag. input lag, cheater lobbys etc


Its just sad to me, that all people care about in regards to BC are this CoD games... Sad what happened to gaming nowadays.
 
I'm playing through Alan Wake's American Nightmare. There was one moment at the beginning where it stuttered for 3 seconds, but the rest runs pretty fine.

I love the tv stuff in this one more than in Alan Wake. I mean, just look at this: http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/TheKeyPit/video/16260645

Edit: The live action scenes are good too; and I just found this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYZjggIwWjc

I love Remedy :D

I'm still in doubt if I'll replay the AW games on PC, where I played them the first time, or play them on Xbox now that I own them there.

I finished it yesterday. A great game. But at th beginning of the last 2 acts,
when the satellite fall on the oil well and it explodes
, the performance really dipped (I'm no frame counter sorry). But solid performance overall.

Can't wait to receive my Alan Wake preorder code...

You could say the same about Assassin's Creed too, but they have actually put out 2 BC games for that. And I agree, I'd rather them focus on other games because I'm not a fan of CoD at all. But it's what the masses want.

Pretty accurate to the 360's performance. Not noticeably better or worse, though the loading times are definitely better on the X1. Either it was a very well-done emulation, or the team is getting substantially better at 1:1 conversions.

I'll tell you a secret: people vote for games they own on the BC feedback website. COD sold a lot of copies. COD gets a lot of votes.

Plus, not all CODs are the same.

Actually just yesterday I went through a list of every 360 game I own, and voted for them all on the feedback website. Are there games I don't own that I want on BC? Sure, but I don't have a list of them.

I think the biggest problem is simply getting them to run without any frame issues. Once for example BO1 is up, all of them run on the same engine with tweaks here and there so I imagine we could see all of them barring COD3 if they can get one of them working. Black Ops 2 has some rather nice graphical stuff but all the prior ones shouldn't prove much of an issue in that regard and Ghosts, AW, and Black Ops 3 are redundant.
