Is dirt 3 still free for gold members? If so when is it free until?

It was only free from 11-1 through 11-15 iirc.

 

[Chris1]

Dungeon Siege 3 is free though and is available via BC. Will be swapped out on December 1 for another game.

 

[Golmon97]

Yeah, I noticed that. Wish someone doing all of these framerate analyses with captured footage could help sort out the differences. The auto-saving hitches are still present in Gears 3, but the hitching when it seems like it is streaming in the next setpiece encounter's data has almost vanished as compared to the first version released. Pretty promising improvements with this update happening only a week after initial public release. Hope they keep at it.

This is great news, I wasn't hoping for any improvement after the initial BC release. I need to try gears 3 asap to see that by myself.

Gears of War just tweeted this out:

An update was pushed out this morning for Gears of War 2, 3, and Judgment Xbox One backwards compatibility players.

Gears of War just tweeted this out:

updating them now! Hopefully lots of improvements were made!

Edit: gears 3 still runs bad in campaign. As much as I love the idea of BC, if they can't improve the performance on these games I think I'll just go buy a 360 and play on that

 

[.la1n]

It's still early days, I'll give them some time to iron things out with some of the shakier titles before pronouncing gloom and doom.

Has there been any news/hints about Injustice being added to BC?

I missed it by a fay. So annoyed.

Where's mass effect 2 and 3?

Excellent.

For those interested, Tron Evolution looks and plays great. I am a huge fan of the films and the game. I was very surprised to see it on the list.

ME 2 and 3 will probably come sometime in the summer to hype up ME:Andromeda and will be a part of EA Access... obviously I'm guessing, but I can see it.

I nearly bought that game a while back, worth a play then I guess.

My Fallout 3 code won't work. Keeps popping up "something went wrong".

It's a very, very light version of Prince of Persia-type gameplay if I remember right. Liked it, despite it's flaws!

I've had some interest in what I have seen already, having it BC on the one is good news.

It also had a ton of stuttering problems, weird they would use that to demonstrate their bc.

I have yet to experience a single problem in Dirt 3 BC, besides me being utterly terrible at the game.

This means nothing in the long run, obviously--this is just my experience with it--but it might signal that performance issues aren't similarly reproducible? Maybe.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I know it's been mentioned a hundred quadrillion times, but any news on a potential RDR BC happening soon?

 

[pots555]

The game is great if you are a fan of the movies. The visuals, music and gameplay make this game very enjoyable in my opinion.

 

[Zeta Oni]

Gotta say, being able to find matches in a 9 year old tactical shooter on consoles is really awesome.

 

[Hawk269]

My Fallout 3 code won't work. Keeps popping up "something went wrong".

I had the same thing happen. Took me 4 tries and it eventually worked. I would load, it would go to the splash screen and just sit there. Other times, the screen would go black and nothing. I would just quit the app/game and retry and after 4 tries it loaded and never had that problem.

I was not expecting to get Fallout 3 because I did not pre-order it, I bought it a few days after launch and to my surprise I got the code for it yesterday.

 

[J_Viper]

Would some kind soul with a spare GoW Judgement code be so kind to throw it my way?

PM me if you still need one dude

 

[Hawk269]

I may have an extra GOW3 code. I will post shortly if I do and determine how to give it away.

Im having trouble redeeming the code not running the game.

I figure it's cause I bought Fo4 off a different Countrys store on live.

What a let down.

 

[Azzawon]

Played a couple of online games of Gears 3 after the new patch - not perfect, but the game definitely runs considerably better and it's actually 'playable' now.

 

[sir_dany12]

I need one, kind sir. I have the other three, just judgement left :/

 

[Golgo 13]

So no news on of Gears 3's campaign is improved with the patch? It's pretty stutter filled, which is a shame because the game itself is so damn good even after all this time.

 

[BLUElightCory]

Waiting for the Bioshock games. Give us a date!

Agreed. Really shitty that this is happening. I hope they smooth it out.

I haven't tried campaign personally but if they've managed to make considerable improvements with the online gameplay I can imagine that it'll be reflected in campaign too.

[infinit777]

Just finished the main story of 'just cause 2' ran great on the Xbox one. I enjoyed it a lot, traveling that huge map wasn't as fast as I would hope and the side quests were repetitive but I had fun and they didn't bother me much since they were short.

I had a couple moments where I had lowest framerate but not too often. I had a great time and I'm glad I waited for backwards compatibility to play it.

 

[Springhettios]

I played Rainbow Six Vegas a few days ago with no problems. Now I can't even start up the campaign. When I'm in the menu and I select to play anything the game freezes and eventually crashes. Anyone else having similar problems?

 

[superNESjoe]

Do I have to manually update these games by deleting and redownloading, or do they update on their own?

 

[superNESjoe]

Try to update your controller

I had no issues with Sonic 1 after updating my driver. Other than the already iffy Backbone emulation.

My controller is updated. There's a significant delay that makes the game feel floatier than it is, and the jump has like half a second delay.

I play it on my 360 on this TV and it's "perfect" (as perfect as those emulated versions are). I played it on my Genesis in my office to make sure I wasn't remembering wrong but this XB1 version is seriously delayed.

 

[.la1n]

If you have instant on they should update automatically but like In the past one the update becomes mandatory you'll get a prompt when you launch the game.

How come 360 cloud save only is 2GB?
I have 365 and Gold... it should be 1TB as a minimum

 

[OttoSporteman]

PM me if you still need one dude

If Azalean doesn't show up, I'd gladly take up your offer for the code

And if someone has a spare Fallout 3 code to give away or to sell for cheap, send it my way! =)

Thanks!

 

[MauroNL]

It's only for save files, so you can't even fill it to 2GB on 360 even if you have 400 games.

Yup, excited! Thanks to the Thanksgiving sale, I now own all 3 Bioshocks digitally.

 

[MauroNL]

- Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 67%: $6.59

[Zeta Oni]

- Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning 85%: $2.99

Own it digitally already, but I can not recommend it enough for that price. It's basically a single player mmo style game with action RPG combat, and the combat really helps you stay into the game as its pretty long.

Really hope it comes to BC

 

[brokenbeans]

Sweet I'll take Mirrors Edge!

 

[infinit777]

I really hope they announce the December backwards compatibility list before Friday.

Skate 3 has a 50% discount this week, but it's not displayed for me.

 

[Ein Bear]

I've bought so many digital 360 games in sales, 'just in case', since they announced backwards compatibility at E3. I think I have a problem.

 

[Rocketz]

Guess I'll buy Mirrors Edge and finally play it.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

No Tales of Vesperia, no buy Xbone.

Also waiting for this

Has Bamco come out to mention anything about this at all?
