Support NeoGAF

[im_dany]

I've hoped that eventually I could replace all my best 360 games with digital versions, and have them available through BC. Yesterday while going through my games and realized Dead Space 2 and 3 aren't available digitally at all, and neither are Mass Effect 2 and 3.

For some reason EA never edited their multi-disc games to release them on XBLM.
Which is absurd IMHO considering other developers do that easily (all R* multidisc games, LA Noire MP3 and GTA5, have been patched to be sold through XBLM) and those are big franchises.

[Lichter]

Who is EvB?

Good news for Bayonetta tho.

EDIT: nevermind, I saw his posts

 

[canadian crowe]

2k and Square-Enix seem to have a lot of games for sale every week. I know they have been confirmed to support BC, but what are the odds that the weekly sales will be BC come November?

Highly likely! Great way for devs/puns to make some more money on titles that don't sell anymore...that's why people are on board with MS doing this for their games

Yeah I'm pretty much buying whatever is on sale. Hopefully we get a Capcom sale. Dragons Dogma is still to expensive.

[kuYuri]

Activision wasn't on the list of publishers that MS revealed at Gamescom who were on board with BC, I hope something's changed in the last week if your list is accurate.

METAL GEAR HD



It's both the thing that makes this true and false at the same time

 

[EvB]

They are definitely looking hard at MW, it may just be from the point of view of general optimisation or it may be that they are preparing it ready for another reason.
I suppose the way that emulation works means that improving the performance for a particular game may have further ramifications.

One thing that I've often wondered is what is to stop a developer patching a 360 game to run at a higher resolution, because it may not be an issue for the Xbox One to run it?

What if the Prototype collection is actually an example of this? It runs worse than the 360 but runs as a higher resolution.

 

[RoKKeR]

All I need is Bad Company 2 and RDR and I'll be one happy camper.

 

[Frog-fu]

Gimm Fable Anniversary!

 

[Syrus]

Need Skyrim , all that matters

 

[Detective]

Guys guys. Is MGS HD BC now?

 

[Steverulez]

No.

 

[OrangeOak]

900 MB update for Gears. Anyone knows what it is?

 

[Mcdohl]

PlayOnline Viewer AKA Final Fantasy 11

Lol.

SE is going to stop supporting console (PS2/XBOX360) clients for FFXI starting March 2016.

So we will only experience this BC for like 3 months.

 

[chronic_archaic]

I'm surprised they implemented support for FFXI - it has a bunch of mandatory installs. And it's gonna be dead soon. Why bother?

 

[Diablohead]

900 MB update for Gears. Anyone knows what it is?

I replayed the stranded fight at the end of chapter 2 as in my play last week that was really choppy, it felt better but it could be placebo.

 

[OrangeOak]

they added Raven Down and other DLC maps!!!

 

[Hawk269]

Man Halo Wars needs to be added for November launch. With the sequel now announced it should be a high priority game to be added to the list of BC titles.

 

[Family Fry]

Activision wasn't on the list of publishers that MS revealed at Gamescom who were on board with BC, I hope something's changed in the last week if your list is accurate.

From gamespot article, interview from gamescom.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-microsoft-in-posit/1100-6429470/

However, there were some notable absentees from Microsoft's list, including Call of Duty Modern Warfare publisher Activision, Metal Gear Solid owners Konami, and Grand Theft Auto 5 publisher Take-Two.

Speaking in an interview with GameSpot at Gamescom, Spencer was asked if he anticipates support from the noticeably absent publishers.

"We're having great conversations with all the publishers about backward compatibility," he replied.

The above list, before the gamescom list was shown, had Konami, Take Two and Activision titles on it, I don't think that is a coincidence.

Clearly they are working with these companies and it will be bigger news when they are "officially" on board.

 

[Diablohead]

they added Raven Down and other DLC maps!!!

oh nice!

 

[8bit]

I think MS published the Xbox 360 port so it should make it over. If Sega published it, it should come over since they're on board with BC.

I don't think Sega did publish it though, wasn't it Q Entertainment? It's my most wanted BC game, but I'm sceptical it will appear.

 

[psychotron]

Is Gears 1 stuttering for anyone? It'll seem fine then it seems like it skips 2 or 3 frames. Really odd.

 

[pizzacat]

they added Raven Down and other DLC maps!!!

I just got on and no update?


Oh got it

 

[OrangeOak]

oh nice!

yes it is
I couldn't be more happy with BC now. It's a little silly that I have spent so much money for new console to play Gears 1 just like on 360 for couple years straight but DVR was worth it alone!

I gave my 360 to my nephew last summer and I really miss it, BC is something I really want in every console and i'm happy that the xbox one is getting it, for the most part.

BTW do you feel that the game runs a little smoother? I checked a few areas which had lower frame rates from the other day but i can't be sure.

to be fair I play it a lot for last two days in multiplayer and I think I just got used to it being slow because it plays for me just like x360 version when it comes to input lag ( or maybe it is just so close). Framerate drops when there is a lot of action though. It drops frames with 3-4 characters shooting in close range or when there are bodies on the floor and it wasn't like that on 360. I must play some matches after update to check if it's better.
Maybe campaign runs worse by default with AI, bigger maps etc.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Went back to check the opening for shadow complex on 360. Saw a YouTube of it and it's a smooth 30 fps pretty much throughout. So yeah, the emulation needs work.

 

[dysonEA]

Any chance metal gear HD will be a games with gold selection? Be awesome to have that to grab when it's BC on xone.

 

[sja_626]

Perhaps if Final Fantasy XI is being tested its because it's the craziest edge case game they could think of that does all sorts of strange things. Good way to put the emulation through its paces. But if support is ending soon if be very surprised if it ever gets official BC status. Or maybe if this works well enough they won't end 360 version support after all.

 

[dysonEA]

Also, they should totally add Fuse

 

[TMWNN35]

I would weep tears of joy if Forza Horizon 1 was added to this list.

Oh I'm sure it's a continuing process of negotiating with the publishers. I hope as many games as possible become BC!

 

[TURBO1112]

Gears got an update. Can play DLC maps now.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

One thing that I've often wondered is what is to stop a developer patching a 360 game to run at a higher resolution, because it may not be an issue for the Xbox One to run it?

That's not to say it couldn't happen, but I'd say its unlikely since the bulk of the processing power will be devoted to the actual emulation. Emulation takes up a LOT of processing power.

Of course, I was one of the people saying that there was no possible way an X1 could properly emulate a 360, but I have clearly been proven wrong.

 

[muzzymate]

I noticed that when going into the 360's Manage Storage option, you no longer get a list of all your 360 cloud saves. Only saves that you've accessed thru the emulator.

I want to say it was previously possible to see what was playable because saves belonging to unplayable titles thru the emulator just had a a generic icon. Is it now only downloading the saves for games you've downloaded? Wonder if this is why most games Reserved Space is down dramatically from the beginning of the program.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

I didn't even know Gears got added. Bout to go crabwalk and judo flip with the rest of the community.

Judo smhhhhhhhhh

 

[Gren]

Free Dead Rising 1 (as well as Case Zero & Case Best), Capcom. I wanna replay that v-synced.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I can't believe I just played Gears of War on my Xbox One. It's just as laggy and clunky as I remember but it was a good time.

 

[Ninjimbo]

If Sega gives me VF5 on the Xbox One, I probably won't need another fighting game.

 

[jond76]

I would weep tears of joy if Forza Horizon 1 was added to this list.

It was in the picture of games at Gamescom. I'm hoping for it too, since its first party, the chances are super good.

on the other hand, its a racing game which Phil Spencer said was the hardest due to licensing
