Man, this whole BC thing is becoming huge in my household. My kids absolutely love Viva Pinata, Nuts & Bolts, Keflings etc... Now they pretty much took over my XB1, lol.
Wow, never even knew Gears had been added. The preview invite thread shooting back up on GAF had me suspicious and here we are.
So are all three games working or just the original at the moment?
I still cherish my time with Viva Pinata and I'm a 32 year old Dad of three with two kids in high school
Sorry to get off topic but...high school typically starts with freshman around age 14/15 right? So you had to kid by the time you were 18? You're a brave, brave man.
Been playing gears all day and I can't shake that feeling of input lag. Also the cutscenes get funky at times with people and textures flickering
I can't wait to have all gears on my xbox one!
So, I just tried my first Backwards Compatible game today (Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise). So far so good... but please tell don't tell me I have to sign in on each game I play. I use 2factor and it is really inconvenient with the 360 to go generate a new App Password, then manually type it in with the controller, especially since Smart glass wont work
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-backward-compatibility-microsoft-in-posit/1100-6429470/During Microsoft's Gamescom media briefing, the corporation revealed a list of publishers that have already pledged support for backwards compatibility. This is a crucial issue, because for Xbox 360 games to work on Xbox One, publishers will need to give Microsoft approval to emulate each individual title.
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.
"It's really been a good time for something like backwards compatibility to come around, because so many of the publishers have built more service-based games where they're able to find a business opportunity in the longevity of games."
According to Spencer, backwards compatibility offers publishers an ideal way to maintain or reinvigorate interest in their properties.
"[Longevity] can be through paid DLC or smaller transactions in some cases on PC and tablet. But engagement in franchises has become a critical measure for any publisher. So when you think about it, there's this opportunity to take franchise and get people re-engaged in it.
"One of the things that's really exciting for me, and we announced this with Gears of War, Just Cause, and Rainbow Six, is that when franchises are releasing an Xbox One version, [publishers] have an opportunity to give them the Xbox 360 version at the same time."
He continued: "I'll be honest, I didn't really have that in mind when we started thinking about backwards compatibility, but the studios have got the games, they realise they're not really selling them anymore, and can use them to introduce people who maybe didn't play the earlier entries in the franchises while growing engagement in the property itself. That's very valuable for a publisher."

I hope they work something out
That was lterally nothing other than "We are talking".
I still have the mass effect disc in my drive but gears of war booted up, I don't remember having a digital code for it, guess I did.
I have a feeling RDR is going to get some sort of remaster before the next game comes out.
In case not seen
Someone grabbed this at the end of the gamescom BC video
Shadow Complex has weird frame rate drops. Stays at 30 fps when there is a ton of action but in an ugly room where its nothing but a dude walking in, there were drops.
I highly doubt it.
Otherwise they would have done a PC version by now. The best we can hope for is it being BC.

What I wouldn't give for backwards compatibility on PS4.... the Xbox One seems like one hell of a console right now, really feels like MS are getting back to what made the 360 so fantastic from 2005-2010 before it went all Mattrick.

Geez, I think it would be silly if they didn't give permission for all the arcade games at least to be able to move forward.only sega game i see is sonic adventure 2
sega please
There seems to be far more games that have been remastered (Gears, Halo, Castle crashers, Rayman, Metro) that seem to be getting BC enabled. I'm glad they are doing it but still surprised, games that have been remastered were the ones I thought for sure wouldn't get enabled.I see Rayman Legends, and wonder if it's really gonna get with it since there's already an Xbox One port.
Is there anyway we can play on the DLC maps for Gears 1? Cant figure out a way to get them downloaded
Not working for me in the States. I have the disc version so maybe that's why?
I still have my 360 under the TV, purely for Rez HD, Guardian Heroes HD and Outrun 2 HD. Does anyone know if these games are now downloadable on the Xbone?

Yeah I'm trying it from the disc too, oh well, suppose itll get sorted soon
I guess you're right about that. Like when Phil Spencer has said in an interview that making Halo Reach BackCompat doesn't prevent them from remastering in for Master Chief Collection.
Castle Crashers, though, I thought wouldn't be BCompat because it was getting remastered. Maybe I missed something...

If they can create a 360 shell on the Xbox One,shouldn't we be able to play the OG Xbox games that were BC on 360?
