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

How's Mass Effect 1 and Dark Souls frame-rate these days? Last I tried it (probably 9+ months ago) they were both a mess. Would really love to jump into one (or both).
Mass Effect 1 got a patch in late August. It runs a lot better now. Digital Foundry will be doing a video on the trilogy sometime soon.
 
dark souls hasn't changed which is to say it's still slightly better than it is on anything except PC. played thru twice last year

Ah, shame. FPS was okay, until I got to Blight Town. Was hoping for a small miracle there.

That's what I'll be playing then.
 
Since this is a 360 title, you may have to create a different account in that region to buy the dlc, but then you just set it as home console and never log into it.

Hard mode is great, but it is seriously old school RPG difficulty. <3

Worked when I changed my region, probably because I already had got the dlcs in the 360.
 
Come on MS, what are you waiting for?

After BO2 comes out, what will the Major Nelson Twitter trolls complain about next?

CoD4: MW-MW3 (mostly MW2), Skyrim, GTA IV/V/SA, the rest of the AC's, and maybe the Halo games. Those are probably the top complaints I could see coming from "the masses". I guess the Dead Space (2&3) and Skate (1&2) games have a chance too.
 
playing through Lost Odyssey currently and while I'm enjoying it, I find myself really missing suspend/resume of native Xbox One titles. wish they could figure out a way to make that work with BC games

do you mean turning the system on and having it where you left it, or do you mean switching between game/app?
 
I bought Quake 4 at a mall yesterday for 5 bucks and it came with a bonus disc. Is this the one that has Quake 2? I thought that was hard to find?

Also got Asura's Wrath so I hope these become bc soon.

I think I recall having trouble finding the bonus disc, and yes I think it's just Quake 2 on there. Quake 4 went out of print after a bit, and they re-released it later in the 360's life. The second wave copies didn't have the bonus disc.

Yeah it's trickier to find, though not impossible. Don't think the demand is so high.

It's a great port, albeit with some tiresome long loading screens, it runs 1080p@60fps on the 360!
 
I don't think we'll get Crackdown on BC until Crackdown 3's release is around the corner.

I think it's dumb not to do it now. Get it done and let's those who wanna play it do so. Then add it later on as a games with gold closer to release.
 
If you look at OregonKorn14's activity feed, he's been taking screenshots and recording Black Ops 2.
I know it might not mean much, but other games he's played since XB1 came out in order of most recent:

Bolded are ones not BC yet. Given all of his older games except TR have been BC and that he's testing BO2, the list might be worth looking at. The only one that doesn't make sense is GTA V and Watch Dogs (But he played WD1 when it came out on XB1, so it's weird that he went back to the 360 version..).

Looks like he removed them. Can anybody else confirm they are now gone?

Games played will also include any games you play on a real 360. The pictures of him playing Black Ops 2 I've calling BS. If there was a way to play early builds of these games more than one person would know how to do it.
 
anyone else really surprised that the Dragon Age games/DLC aren't BC yet?

Surprised no. Disappointed yes.

Mass Effect 2,3 were released on BC on a very specific date, for a specific business reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if EA is holding on to those for a specific time.

Well I doubt he's some random dude who managed to get it working. He's probably an MS employee who's actually testing the games, and he's not the first one to fuck up and leak games. RDR and others were leaked this way months ahead of time aswell. I found an MS employee's gamertag and posted the games he was playing and nobody really believed it because of RDR, then his profile went hidden not long after and all the games he played ended up BC. I didn't even post his gamertag, so it's not like he was receiving tonnes of messages about it. MS will have tracked it down by the games and made him put his shit private.

It's still there.

Top of his page (I think this is set as his showcase, anyone can upload pics like this so it doesn't mean much, but why have the MS logo if you're some random dude? - The BO2 pics are different because it has the actual game name which takes you to the game hub, something that can't be done by uploading pics like that and can only be done by taking a screenshot through xbox while playing the game. Meaning those BO2 screenshots are directly from an XB1 while playing BO2.)

"Yes I work for Xbox. Been doing that since 2014. Worked on Xbox UWP, Xbox Live, Xbox 360, Kinect, Xbox One and more. Follow me on Facebook for more pithy thoughts: tobiaslieshoff.tk (OregonKorn14 is my private Account)"

And again anyone can write that in their bio, but why would they do that and have microsoft logos in their activity feed? It's just strange. Add into the mix he's playing BO2 on Xbox One and it gives him some credibility. Waybackmachine doesn't work on profiles to see how long it's been there, but google cache has it there with 7860 gamerscore which is 15 less than he has now.

In addition to all that, Major Nelson sounds pretty pissed here:
https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/817128357305294848
https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/817129070882275328

And if you look at his recent tweets, they're all linking people to the BO2 Wiki Page or the Back Compat page. He gets tweets all the time about BO2, why is he reacting like this now?
