I posted this in the other Backwards Compatibility thread, too, but did anybody see this article? Microsoft wants 'Red Dead Redemption' on Xbox One, too (Engadget - based on Mike Ybarra comments)?

They fixed the terrible framerates of mass effect so I trust that gears 3, judgement and other games with issues will be looked at in some way.
It's already working on BC, I wonder if they are having trouble with rockstar
That's just what they say for titles not already announced, they were all over twitter "Ask Activision" even a week ago in regards to cod, but they must have known it would be BC then.
All they can really say is "It's coming later, we're working onit" and they end up leaking the entire list which they don't seem to be willing to do (though I don't get why they're so secretive behind the games in the first place), or "ask X".

Gears Judgment worked great for me, campaign level (beach assault) and Overrun on XBL

you playing from an external? wonder if that matters right now.
I played from external and internal both felt the same tbh but internal had literal freezes

I played Gears 3 from the internal hard drive and it played great for me. Only had one dip in frames during campaign.

hm ok, I myself can only play from the internal and I had framerate issues in campaign and horde mode single player.

External USB 3.0 drives can give better performance than the internal drive. I run almost everything off my external drive.
Games -> External
Apps -> Internal
Do the demos work on xbox one? I got the demos on the web store but how do I get them on my xbox one
No. Demos and trials are not enabled for BC. Only full games show up.
ok thanks wanted to test it out before I brought something
I'm gonna wait they might have a holiday sale and I can grab something

Just booted it up and it seems to run fine. I loaded a save part of the way through the game and have no clue where I'm going or what half the buttons do, but I beat a few guys down and played with a shotgun for a minute and didn't notice any issues.

I'll try to update the OP list with experiences of games with issues.
I have this setup too. Don't think my HDD is anything fancy though, probably a 5400rpm drive with USB 3.0.
I've added this in the OP!

Hearing this makes me wanna play it again!
It's already been free on PS+ though and there's a rumoured sequel next year (Take Two said there's an unannounced game being released in 2016 and it's about time we see what R* SD is up to) so I do think it will go free eventually, it's just a matter of when not if.
I think the thing with RDR is they'll be waiting until the Xbox One store can sell 360 games because then they can advertise it on the dashboard etc. For that reason I don't think it will be available (or even GWG) until they solve that issue. Yes people can buy them off the web store, but a lot won't know that or won't want to attach CC/Paypal to their account.
I think next months GWG will be Lego Star Wars because the film is out and it's already available for BC, unless they plan to release the next batch on December 1st which I find unlikely, I imagine they'll want the GWG available right as the month rolls over from now on. The second game could be anything though.
Confirming that Namco Museum Virtual Arcade (NTSC) does NOT work in any way for BC.
If I had to guess, it was probably improperly flagged (like Fable III was) on the 12th and Ms. Pac was temporarily available. Fable III has since been disabled (unless you kept your console offline).
Unless you can verify that installing Ms. Pac from the PAL disc still works (remove existing copy from the system, attempt reinstall with disc), this was likely a one time error in your favor.

Question for fallout 3, I have the digital vanilla version but if I get the dlc on disc can I install it and get rid of the disc or will I need it inserted to play?
I'd rather buy the gory edition for cheap but only if I don't need to use the disc

I didn't see this posted already.
Digital Foundry - Fallout 3 Xbox One Backward Compatibility vs Xbox 360 Analysis
interesting bit near the end about emulation vs. port...
It might be better but i had some serious dips running it on my external 3.0 HD. I only tried the MP and it was quite bad. The remastered version feels so better to play in comparison...

I completely agree, and that makes me extremely anxious for New Vegas, because while I played F3 for 200+ hours, I barely touched NV...

Yep, having issues with Gears 3 running shitty for me, one moment its running fine other moment it starts to bog the fuck down. Hoping they can look into it as I was really looking forward to playing Horde mode.
Also, I think I saw some people mention stuff but I don't think I have gotten any achievements since the update went live for everyone (I am a preview member).
Has MS said anything on titles that are performing bad/achievements? Besides these two things, I am really happy for the feature as other games I have run great, looking forward to them building out the list. Hope Rockstar gives them the okay for their games as well. Can't wait for Reach and Halo Wars.

There was an issue with achievement not unlocking for a while. I submitted a problem via the preview program too, but noticed afterwards that there was a notice on the xbox live status page that achievements wouldn't unlock for a while and that it was a known issue and they were working on it. I don't know if they fixed it, but for a while you couldn't even go into "My Achievements" in your profile because it would say you haven't played any games and nothing would be listed.
It's not on the status page anymore, maybe they did fix it...

If there isn't already one out there, I think it would prove highly useful to have an experience rating attached to each official game on the list available. Maybe a three-point scale could be in place for poor, good, great performance with some kind of detail for what/when/how. Accuracy relative to original hardware could have a separate rating, though I realize most people won't have a recent or accurate recollection of what the X360 version runs like.

OK so after a horrendous 3 1/2 hour install me and the wife started condemned and it runs better then the 360 version I remembered currently about three hours in and I'm having a blast no hiccups to report
Side note was thinking about buying perfect dark does anyone have impressions on it? Like how it plays I've played the actual game before on the 64 but I'm having an inch to play it again and then Should I just bite on rare replay instead of paying the ten for pd how does the rare replay fair?

None of my recorded clips of Gears of War 2 are playing in the Xbox clips website. Does anyone else suffer from this issue?

Spent the last hour installing Gears 3 only to boot it up and have it tell me I can't play online because I don't have the DLC. I don't want to wait for more to download

Speaking of Fallout 3, were we not suppose to get that when we bought Fallout 4? I bought the Digital Deluxe Edition of Fallout 4, was there suppose to me a email or something with a code for Fallout 3 BC?
Also, did anyone try Supreme Commander 2 as of yet? I loved the game back in the day and just curious how it is running in BC? If it runs good, I will re-buy digital.

I didn't even have the additional DLC listed for me to download like I did with the original Gears.
Either way it's probably okay to hold off on it, even with it installed to my faster external drive it still runs too choppy to enjoy.
It was sent to me via Xbox live message a few days after I preordered

Just tried it again and still not working for me.
XBLA Unplugged Vol 1 and Qubed now work.
Are downloads cripplingly slow for anyone else? It's taking about an hour for 500 mb downloads on a 15Mbit TWC connection that would normally take a few minutes. I've been downloading constantly since the morning of the 12th.
Here's a gears of war 3 frame rate test. There's some quite large dips in places.

Back when the 360 first launched there was not a strict enforcement on achievement rules. Condemned had 970, Crackdown shipped with 900, and there were many other that had less than 1000.
