Really hoping for DOOM and DOOM II. I'm sure they'll release but I'm hoping for them to come at least around when the new DOOM releases.

Yeah, those are the two games I'm really hoping for.
I gave Shadow Complex a shot last night and the controls seemed really sluggish for me. Was it always like that, or did Ori and the Blind Forest spoil it for me?

When you put the disc in it downloads the BC version of your game from the Internet. You need to keep your disc in to play. You don't have a choice.
When you put in a retail disc it downloads the game from a XBL server to the hdd. You'll still need to keep the disc in for authentication when playing that game.

Do you need to keep the disc in to play it after downloading?

Yup, just like any Xbox One physical copy.

Does anyone else feel like the aiming sensitivity feels too slow? I have tried Perfect Dark Zero and Gears of War with maxed out sensitivities and they still feel very slow. It's odd.

Wonder how they're coming along on Multi-disc games.
C'mon, need my Lost Odyssey!

What's dumb about authentication? It's a fair compromise.

I don't wanna know how many versions of games are out there with small differences not to mention all the different regions.
By doing disc authentication plus a download they can ensure everyone gets the same game.

Why? It's essentially the same thing as regular Ps4/X1 disc game, only with a required, huge compatibility patch. Makes perfect sense.

I'd like to know that too, I guess they could always have multi disc games digital only if they couldn't find a way to do it. This would suck but at least its better than not having it.
You have to know that you don´t just download the game but also the additional data like the Xbox 360 OS and some emulation stuff.
But they probably could somehow only download this stuff from the internet and then copy the rest of the data from disc.
But to be honest => Why make it more complicated than it has to be => Just download the whole thing. It can be max. 8-9 GB.

How does it work though for PAL/NTSC games and different language games such as the COD series, or do we know yet.
I believe each region is getting "their" game. Exactly as it has been for Xbox 360.
So if there are 10 different versions out there (differs in language, ...), MS would have to package all 10 games and upload it to their respective stores.
You just give the right language checking the language of the console. If the console is set as US, you download the english NTSC version. If the console is set as french, you download the french PAL version.

So how many games have they added so far? I'm waiting for dragons dogma to hopefully eventually make the cut

I wonder how that'll work. I'm assuming that if you have the disc version you just need the first disc in the tray?
we have many officially confirmed to come (like the Gears games) and confirmation from MS that future GwG 360 games will be BC. As of right now, it's about 20ish games that work with a varying degree of performance for the titles

I wonder if were getting borderlands 1
All kidding aside though, they mentioned EA being one of the main supporters of BC. So please, MS.. EA... PUT NCAA 14 ON THE LIST!!!
If they dont, this whole thing is a huge bummer for me personally.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some licensing issues regarding music and such in these sports games.

I know but, for some reason, you can still vote for it: https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/298503-backwards-compatibility?query=outrun
Yea not being able to steal games is the dumbest shit ever
Misinterpreting his response as being disappointment concerning not being able to play games without a disc instead of not being able to play games directly from the disc is a close second in the Dumbest Shit category.

Even though Outrun is delisted from purchasing, you can re-download it as much as you like. So if Microsoft were just letting you redownload the existing .iso on your Xbox, just like a second 360, then we'd be all good to redownload it.
But since Microsoft has to actually repackage the .iso along with the Xbox One emulation profile info, is it a "new" version of the game? Or can they make those modifications and allow existing owners to re-download the game on their Xbox One?
I'm no lawyer and I can't begin to guess Sega and Ferrari's legal position on this. They wouldn't be selling anything, so maybe it's okay?
I'm assuming as soon as we see one game with a licensed soundtrack on there, we've confirmation that no legal shenanigans have to happen. I don't think anyone wants to go through the trouble of licensing songs again just to reissue a game they think they can't sell.
At the rate they're giving away bc titles with pre-orders, they certainly don't seem to have much faith in it as a revenue stream.
Phil Spencer did say that Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon were important games to get running to him, and that they're trying to figure out how to do multidisc games. I'm just hoping it's sooner rather than later.

Ugh, just yesterday I was thinking of Crimson Skies after playing Grabbed By the Ghoulies on Rare Replay and thinking to myself it would be awesome if MS brought all their first party games on the original XBox like Rally Sport to XB1 in the same fashion.
Nah lol
MS holds the Ferrari license for Xbox. They should actually be able to make this happen theoretically.
With the relationship they have with nVidia over that, it would probably just be easier to port every original Xbox game they want to add instead of emulating them.

Hoping infinite undiscovery and Magna carta 2 also make it since they are also exclusive to the xbox 360.
