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

I played Gears 3 horde on my Xbox One S last night and it crashed around wave 16 or so. I rebooted and played campaign for about 30 minutes and didn't get another crash, but I'm thinking this is definitely a B/C issue with the game and not related to my previous Xbox One model or the Xbox One S.

Just wanted to report in as promised.

Thanks. I think my XB1 is pooping out on me. Pushed through the crashes and got up the Aftermath campaign (I go to the aftermath campaign after anvil gate). It crashed in Gears Judgment as well. Not a good sign. I've fully unplugged the system. Cleared save data for XB1 and 360 data. Reinstalled in different locations. This sucks.

Besides the crash, how's the performance?

Gears 3 performance was much much better.
 
I've never noticed before that retail is putting stickers on 360 games that are backwards compatible.

Smart.

Yeah, I saw that at Wal-Mart the other day and did a double-take.
 
MS and their BC releases have been on fire for the past month or so. All those CODS, Bayonetta, Castle of Illusion, VF5FS, Forza Horizon and a lot of others. Thank you Phil Spencer and the Xbox One BC engineers!

So fucking true. It is great that they have put so much effort into keeping these games alive and then making them free to people that already owned them is such a great move.
 
OMG! Lost Odyssey

LOST ODYSSEY HYPE

So glad I bought this a few months back when multi-disc support was announced.

OMG I want to play through LO again. I wish I had kept my disks now. :(

MajorNelson.com currently says disc only for Lost Odyssey. Excuse me while I run to my local game store.

Where are people seeing this?

edit: ah I see - https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/781524005450870785

So how do multidiscs work?
 
Pretty exciting to get Lost Odyssey, finally! I will begin installation shortly!

I also bought Guwange, so I get to cross off two games today!

EDIT: Guwange is the 200th game I've installed on my XB1! LO will be 201.
 
I will try LO today...wonder if you have to use the 4 discs first to install or how its going to work...

Not sure. Someone on Twitter posted this:

Maybe it just asks for the next disc and then goes to 26%, etc.

I wonder if you have to have the right disc in the drive when you're playing.

I would bet you would only need disc 1

Insert Disc 1. The entire game downloads. Keep Disc 1 in tray. Put another LO disk in and game ends

That's how I think it would probably go. I put in Disc 1 and got the prompt to download the update which is 22.43 GB (like the screen above). That seems like it would likely be the size of the entire game.
 
Mass Effect 2/3, Dead Space 2/3, GTA IV, Far Cry 3, Orange Box, and of course Binary Domain will keep this thread going.

Okay that last one is for me. Loved that game.

A lot of people loved Binary Domain. It evoked those Snatcher Sega CD feels, while not exactly the same game, but close.
 
I wish BC games would automatically become available on the digital market... after all that's what you're installing, a digital copy of the game.

Yeah but if it's not already for sale digitally they'd be selling a copy rather than just making existing copies work - which is probably a new contract.
 
Well my closest GameStops didn't have any copies with manuals, covers, & cases, but I bought it anyways before the prices go up ($10 for my favorite JRPG of last gen). Installing now...

Looks like I've got 22.43GB of time left before my kitchen ceramic tile project ends today.
 
I really hope that when they get the majority of games up they switch and do an Xbox Enhanced program where certain special games like Ninja Gaiden Black, and the Kotor games get wide screen rereleases. Man I would love to have the best games from all 3 MS platforms playable on the XB1.

I didn't see his tweet specifically mentioning this. Where did you see this?

I really want to know when Lost Odyssey will be made available digitally, and I'm wondering if Microsoft has shared a timeframe. The sooner, the better!
 
Not have digital with all this BC being opened up is lost money.

I feel certain there is probably some legal/rights related reason why it's not being sold digitally. There's certainly no technical reason since BC games are basically just digital versions that do a disc check.
