All in just one year. Impressive if you ask me. Performance on certain games were bad at the start but a lot of the big games have performed well and in some cases even better than the 360.

I hope they keep this up, at this rate majority of the 360 library will be up and running on Scorpio when it launches.

 

[xzeldax3]

Hopefully those exclusive JRPGs get BC treatment.

Still no GTA IV, Bully or Oblivion

[show me your skeleton]

really makes an example of playstation 4's backwards compatibility, or lack thereof.

 

[MontyMarx]

Still waiting on Lost Odyssey

Oh YES. This please.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Excellent job on Microsoft's part. Now please let me play my 360 games on Windows 10!

 

[Lil'DigiOp]

No reason for me to get a Xbone because of the PC that waits for me in the future...

But all the compatible BC games on 360 keep making me think about getting a cheap one...

 

[sikkinixx]

The only real I haven't sold my Xbone and really the only games I'm buying for the platform anymore. MS hit it out of the park with this. Too bad Sony can't follow suit.

The cell is a shit load more complex to deal with, but i do love this feature on my new xbone.

 

[kitschykitty]

Still no GTA IV, Bully or Oblivion

They'll space them out but if they got Red Dead, Fallout 3 and New Vegas out I'm sure those 3 will make it out eventually.

You sort of can with Xbox streaming.

 

[friskykillface]

But yet no bully

Free the bully

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm hoping all the 4-player exclusives show up.

I would rather not have to buy four controllers for both 360 and One.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Except for Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey. Microsoft, pls. Do something!

 

[jiggles]

Except for Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey. Microsoft, pls. Do something!

Literally the only two I want

 

[FonkyByNature]

Yup, BC on Xbox One is really cool.

I still play old games on my XB1 that will probably never be remastered or made a sequel. NBA Jam is on of them.

Now i only need, "Mark of the Ninja", "Outrun", "Street Fighter Third Strike", "Sonic all star racing transformed" and i'm set !

 

[Alx]

I never really cared for BC on previous consoles to be honest, but going digital and the X1 environment made a huge difference ; all those 360 games feel like legit native X1 games, and you can have all of them ready to use on your HDD.

 

[dem0neyes]

But no skate 3 still right?

 

[flkraven]

Still waiting on Blue Dragon

 

[Senteevs]

Great, but I'm 99% sure that the only game i want, Split Second, will never get the BC treatment.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

So happy to have RDR on my Xbox One.

 

[RowdyReverb]

How many of you have bought 360 games digitally because of BC? I think I've bought 5 different XBLA title since they started the BC process

 

[firelogic]

Kind of telling when the biggest news for the XB1 is that you can play 250 X360 games on it. BC is nice to have but I'd rather have a large library of XB1 exclusives to play.

 

[xboxster]

I wish they'd make more of the 360 exclusives BC. Still waiting on Ace Combat 6, PGR 3 and 4, Saint's Row, and Crackdown series.

Skate series would certainly be nice given online multiplayer, but I have the PS3 versions as well.

 

[BeforeU]

Good stuff. Keep em coming.

Give me MW and MW2.

 

[Jamix012]

Though good, I really hope Scorpio improves the performance of some of the games that don't run so well.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Still waiting on Lost Odyssey

^This

What I want to see is a game called Project Sylpheed become backwards compatible since it was one of the gems from last gen in my opinion.

 

[Grim Patron]

DOAX2 when?

 

[Cmerrill]

Does Dark Souls 1 still perform kind of shitty?

 

[Jerm411]

Really is an awesome feature....being able to just go back to stuff like RDR and L4D/L4D2 is great. Love it.

 

[Black Mantis]

Just the one, Just Cause 2. I already had the disc, so didn't grab the digital version when it was GwG, before BC was a thing. It was only £3.50 because of a Live sale anyway.

 

[BennyBlanco]

It's kind of sad but this is the thing that makes me want to buy an xbone.

 

[King Gilga]

But none of the ones I need to.

 

[RoslindaleOne]

Does Dark Souls 1 still perform kind of shitty?

What was shitty about it? I put in 30 hours this past week and it played fine. Then again last time I played DS was nearly 5 years ago at launch.

EDIT: By played fine I mean it played from what I remember from playing on XB360. Blighttown is still bad, but I was expecting it to be.

 

[Synth]

The cell is a shit load more complex to deal with, but i do love this feature on my new xbone.

Whilst this is true of PS3, it's not of either PS1 or PS2 (where they've made the conscious choice to simply resell the games to you regardless).

Kind of telling when the biggest news for the XB1 is that you can play 250 X360 games on it. BC is nice to have but I'd rather have a large library of XB1 exclusives to play.

Biggest news... c'mon now...

 

[mcrommert]

Sure that's the reason 😉

 

[Diprosalic]

Pretty cool of them to do this but i still won't play a single one lol.

This is a dreadful post.

Great achievement. I still have a 360 and no XB1, but it's great to see the effort being put in. I mainly play PC now but if my 360 does give up eventually I'll probably pick a One S because of the work they've done with this.

 

[inner-G]

At the current prices, I would almost think of upgrading just for better 360 performance but some of the games I have aren't supported and AFAIK you can't play Xbox games on it, so I'd lose Shenmue II compatibility

 

[FonkyByNature]

This.

I applaud Microsoft for that, this is really a cool move. I'm supporting by buying a lot of 360 games that i really like.

 

[a Master Ninja]

How many of you have bought 360 games digitally because of BC? I think I've bought 5 different XBLA title since they started the BC process

I'm at 80+ backwards compatible titles between XBLA, Games with Gold, and just wanting digital copies of games.

My dream is that they make the last 15 or so games I really care about b/c (Ninja Gaiden II & Black, Vanquish, etc.) and I can abandon my Xbox 360 and its physical games entirely.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

While I do think the option for BC is great it's not something I ever use. Now if they bring out Tales of Vesperia and Lost Odyssey then I will change my tune.

 

[Jumeira]

The most blessed, Phill Spencer.

Seriously, this is just a fantastic implementation, love how your games follow your account now. Nice that they offer others to purchase the games at discount too, might be good to limit prices to £9.99, still reasonable at £14.99

 

[spannicus]

Playing Back Ops brought back memories. Shit having all Gears of war games playable on X1 is good enough.

Yeah, My experience with it was the same as with the 360 as far as I can remember.

Yeah, we'll just ignore 2 console exclusives coming out this month.

Let's just ignore possibly the best racing game to date hitting in a couple weeks. Nothingtoseehere.gif

I'm playing some great exclusives. Recore has been wonderful, Halo 5 is my favorite FPS of the generation, the Forza Horizon 3 demo is a big snip of what's arguably the best open world racer of all time, gears 4 is coming soon. What more do you want?

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Fix Halo Reach pls. The framerate + input lag are turrible. Better yet, 1080p 60fps remaster thx

Theres always one.
