It might never show up, im still waiting for doom bfg digital

That does makes sense. It was a big surprize to me to see the digital release of Rage for Xbox One, but not Doom BFG. Bougth BFG edition on Ebay for 5 euros, though.

 

[Cranberrys]

I put my FFXIII disc in my One but I Don't get any prompt for download. The same goes for XIII-2 and LR.

The time hasn't come. Not yet. I also tried FFXiii, but no use right now.

 

[Northeastmonk]

I'm hoping for Ninja Gaiden II and Condemned 2. With the FFXIII series on PC already, it makes perfect sense for them to do that.

Talking about Doom 3 BFG, the fact that you have to keep holding L3 to run really sucks.

 

[wipeout364]

It’s weird how the dashboard store never updates the backwards compatible titles. COD 3 (I think) and the cartel are still listed as the newest title in on my system. I have to search for other titles to find them.

 

[Thiagosc777]

It's out now.

 

[xion4360]

I was a bit worried because FFXIII on 360 had poor video encoding (and theres a lot of video in this thats why its 30gb compared to like 7 and 8 for the other 2)but the video encoding looks very good! ported from the pc maybe? sharp visuals, UI looks pixelated but otherwise looks great! gotta check out 2 and 3 next.

EDIT - they all look and run well

 

[rmatheso]

Just played about 1/2 hour of XIII. Holy Crap. Definitely re-encoded video and ultra-sharp in-game visuals. Xbox 360 version just went from the worst port to the best. Unreal.

 

[jshackles]

Waiting on some digital foundry analysis for XIII to make my work day go smoother

 

[Kagey K]

I was 17 hours into XIII-2 when I stopped playing it in 2014 and I’m lost as hell right now. Lol.

Just jumping from gate to gate trying to figure where I was and picking up fragments as I spot them.

This was not the best game to drop partway through and think I could just pick up where I left off.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Still not a big fan of XIII, but holy shit is it a big jump.

 

[TLZ]

Playing Crackdown again and it's just as fun as I remember it 10 years ago. Going to finish it again

 

[Cranberrys]

What they did is amazing. The video is clearly been reencoded, it looks like a 1080p BR upscaled in 4K, it's a massive improvement over the 360 version. Otherwise, in game it looks pretty sharp and clean. The only thing is the UI, it's a little blurry but it's OK. I have yet to try XIII-2 and LR.

 

[JORMBO]

Really impressed with FF13

I wouldn't mind playing it again, it's been years. Wonder how it would be on the X?

Huge jump graphically. I love any excuse to post this gif.

Did they X enhance Crackdown? I don't see no mention of that. 0o

 

[Xaero Gravity]

It's been X enhanced since February.

 

[nush]

Pleased with the work done for FF13.

 

[Thiagosc777]

Yes, earlier in the year.

Yes, it looks like Square replaced the FMVs. This game, XIII, had never been released digitally before, maybe for the digital version they used the same files as the PS3 version. The videos look really good.

 

[Hage Kamo]

XBOX ONE X

 

[TheWatcher]

Damn that looks beautiful. Have no interest in FF, but happy to see more games get enhanced and join the BC list.

 

[Breakage]

The enhanced BC is one of the best features on the One X.

 

[evanft]

So is this trilogy actually worth playing?

 

[Mochilador]

That looks freaking great!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

So is this trilogy actually worth playing?

They look gorgeous on the X and I really like the battle system in XIII, but ultimately I'd say no as I found the stories to be some of the worst on the series. But that's just me, don't know if I'm in the minority or not.

That's what I figured.

 

[Thiagosc777]

FMVs improvement confirmed. It'd be cool, now that Square is cooperating with MS, if we got Nier X Enhanced as well.

 

[JORMBO]

In playing through FFXIII again I am remembering that FFXIII is a shitty game.

 

[jshackles]

I loved FFXIII. I never finished XIII-2 because my PC (at the time it came out on PC) wasn't up to the task of running the game smoothly.

I'm going to put the whole trilogy on my "need to play this soon" pile. These visual updates and better cutscenes got me giddy.

 

[Kagey K]

Hoping Lightning Returns goes in sale for Black Friday, as it’s the only one I don’t own, but if the price is right I might just pick up the entire trilogy digitally and World of FF as a way to show Square my appreciation.

It is on sale right now unless I'm misunderstanding what you after.

 

[Kagey K]

The BF deals weren’t out yet when I posted that yesterday. I’ve since bought all 3.

 

[rmatheso]

Final Fantasy XIII is right up there with Gears of War 3 in wow factor on the X.

Booted up FFXIII-2 and played a bit of the intro battle. As soon as Lightning fights while on a dragon I got goosebumps thinking I was playing the 4K sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga.

 

[Mochilador]

The FF13 trilogy is on sale right now!

 

[cireza]

I have been playing Lightning Returns for a few hours now, and I enjoy the game a lot. I can't state how awesome the Xbox One (and X) have been for me. I love BC, I discovered some true gems because of it.

 

[Discusguy]

I’m 14hrs into FF13. Can’t believe how awesome this game looks and play. I have to buy Lightning Returns now that it’s BC.

 

[sol_bad]

Does anyone know what the FMV's are like on PC? High quality like this BC version? I still haven't bought the FF13 games so just wondering what the better version is.

 

[xellos2099alpha]

Suppose to be slightly worse

 

[Ailynn]

I was really hoping to see Tenchu Z in that list. I loved that game, and it was one of the few that I bothered getting all the achievements on.

 

[Thiagosc777]

I had no idea the performance of Castlevania on the 360 was that bad. The difference between the 360 and X1 is night and day.

 

[kingwingin]

Yeah lords of shadow ran horrible, was still a great game tho, wish it would get a 4k patch

 

[Ulysses 31]

Too bad the BC team doesn't seem into ehancinging Konami titles... =/

Also no new titles this week? =(

 

[urmie]

That's not how it works. They need the "ok" from Konami to do so.

 

[urmie]

Yes! Or they could release the "Ultimate" versions from Steam to the consoles, an already remastered trilogy running at a buttersmooth 60fps.

 

[Ulysses 31]

That's not how it works. They need the "ok" from Konami to do so.

Do we even know if they even asked Konami?

 

[urmie]

Do we even know if they even asked Konami?

Actually, you are right. We don't. I kinda wish we knew what the exact process was to get a game "X-enhanced".

 

[Boris The Spider]

FFXIII was such a bargain on the store that I had to revisit and it does indeed look fantastic on BC on an Xbox One X. Brilliant work by the BC team.
