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

Is Rayman Legends the first game that got released in it's original edition for both 360 and XB1 that has gotten BC support? It's kinda of strange seeing 2 copies of the same title on XB1. Not that I'm complaining! It's one of my favorite games, and because of the kind of title it is I could see people who owned it on 360 not wanting to rebuy a pretty similar looking version to play on their XB1.

There is Limbo too.

I find the absolutely great because it shows they don't just release games to make money but so that gamers can play THEIR old games again at no cost without buying the new version.

Halo Spartan Assault is the other one I remember that is BC. Titanfall BC would probably be the most impressive thing they could pull off considering how much trickery it does with the 360 hardware.

Oh yeah! I had totally forgotten about Spartan Assault, I must have thought it was a beefed up remaster or something.

Titanfall and Rise are both stunning on 360. Not to take away from how good Rise looks on XB1 (Titanfall, not so much) but it's actually hard to believe what a good job they did to make it not only content complete, but also as close a port between gens as I've ever seen. And after 10 years of 360 they made magic come out of that little fire hazard.

I even ended up playing it after being spoiled with it on XB1. I just had to rent it and give it a spin on my miraculously still functioning 2007 era Falcon 360. Surrounded my self with so many fans it felt like I was playing in the middle of a tornado. Even after having completed the game and not having played my 360 with any regularity since I got my Bone at launch I still kept having to stop and marvel at how they even managed to pull off the little details like spiders and scorpions. The kind of cool environmental stuff that always gets left on the cutting room floor because their can't make it work, or they just don't really care about a last gen game that no matter how much work they put in will go largely unnoticed. Kudos to the guys at Nixxes who seem to be one of the few 3rd party developers who can get the kind of results that almost only ever come from in house studios with tons more support and pressure to make their box come out ahead.

Seeing how close they managed to get with elderly hardware almost makes me a little sad that we are going to see the blurring of generations of consoles from now on. Stuff like Rise, RE4, Doom 3, and God of War 2 only get to be such incredible feats thanks to a constant need to extract more and more out of something and drawing from a deep understanding of how to make something that looks like it's running on a totally different platform when compared to even midcycle stuff.

Saints Row 4, Castlestorm and Castle Crashers all have an X1 version and a 360 BC version
 
Didn't know if it was ok to mention here but I have codes for Gears 1 and judgement that I do NOT need I own them already PM me if you want any.

Gears 1 went to WaveRider enjoy!

Gears 2 went to ZeroCDR enjoy!

Gears 3 went to Micapo enjoy!

Gears Judgement went to OttoSporteman enjoy!

codes are gone thanks guys.
 
I've brought Rare replay and there are duplicate downloads for the 360 games included in Rare Replay. Can I also install those 360 games on my 360 Console? Are they on my Xbox live account?

I hope this is the start of more cross gen games getting added to BC. I'd love for instance to see Tomb Raider (and it's tighter shooting) make it, and maybe Titanfall 1 as well. Both are amazing ports that I'm imagining some late comers to current gen may have picked up on their 360 during a time when not much top tier content was still getting the kind of treatment those games got.

Castle Crashers 360 was made BC along with the XB1 version's launch
 
i bought hitman blood money and now i have five fewer dollars and one more game i want backwards compatible
 
Just got a One... the selling point being retro compatibility... so i have 45 games to download. Good to see SNK releases between the bunch. Any hopes for OutRun or Third Strike ?
 
Even if it's just to pad out the number of BC titles, I'd really like Sega to allow Virtua Fighter 5 vanilla through.

As an achievement whore who doesn't want to buy FS (even though it has easy achievements) I want my digital copy to pop up. I'll probably just leave my 360 out I guess. I have space for it.

congrats on the new system! 3S is a lot more likely than OutRun, but capcom has not been stellar about supporting XBO BC.

I love 360 BC so much. *hugs XB1*

I've really grown to love this console over the past year.

BC has literally raised my love for my Xbox One ten fold.....it's right up there if not slightly ahead of my PS4 now :)

Mass Effect being available and running well has helped this opinion greatly....
 
I also have codes for gears 1-judgement if anyone wants them, send me a pm. First pm i receive will get the code. Ill update post once they are gone. Cheers guys.

Gears 1 & judgement taken.

Yea, there's just something about it. Being able to play all those amazing games from last gen, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, Fable, Gears of War...etc.

I agree. Played a ton of Horizon 3, now I went back to the first one and it's fantastic how great those games run. The "achievement hunter" in me made me download pretty much everything that was in my download list, going for the 100k before the end of the month (just 450 G more!). Took me less than 6 and an half years :D

Specially since those games are still pretty amazing.i feel they shoul push retro compatibility much more.it was definitely my system seller.

It's especially good for people like me who didn't play all of the games last generation. I had a 360 early on but sold it shortly after the first Gears so I missed a bunch of good shit.

It does make my library hard to manage tho.

XBO needs folders badly.

Let me sort by XBO games, retail 360 games and XBLA 360 games.

That would go against the games are games motto they had since xbone started. Though it could be easily solved by making the pin area work like the win phone start screen, which honestly I have no idea why they haven't just already.

When you have 200+ items in ready to be installed, it can be a pain.
 
Picked up a physical copy of the GOTY edition of RDR (with the updated "Plays on X1 & 360" packaging) for $10 off Amazon but they're out of stock until the 7th. Now, I wait ><

It was available digitally but it's now delisted

This gives me hope we might actually see the older Forza games (2,3,4) and PGR's 3 & 4 BC someday. Although they'll have none of there DLC available and probably won't be available digital, it'd still be awesome to see them BC.
 
Gears codes are all taken!!

Thank you very much for the code!

Edit:
Please give the code to someone else. No chance to redeem it as I am located in germany. Even VPN did not help to redeem the code.

Edit2:
Thank you to those who sent me other Gears 2 codes but it doesn't work. Either I change my region on my Xbox One or I try to get it done with some VPN tricks, I cannot redeem Gears 2 as the game is not allowed to release in Germany. I had the hope I could workaround it but it seems I cannot. If somebody from germany knows a workaround that works please PM me.
 
Games I'd still like BC. (*) indicates game has X1 version but not BC

Yea Bad Company 2 is at the top of my list, along with Black Ops 2.

NFS Hot Pursuit is also up there, the online multiplayer was so great in that game!
 
Did Dark Souls ever get a BC performance patch? I know it ran pretty comparably to the 360/PS3 version when it first came to BC but there was room for improvement.

TheKeypit is usually around these threads, I believe he's in Germany and talked a while ago about a workaround! I'll keep the code for a while and see if he shows up!!
