FINALLY

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Word Puzzle!!!

Haha, one more MS published game down

 

[amdb00mer]

I'm hoping Vanquish is not too far off since we got Bayonetta. I would think Platinum Games used the same engine or close to it.

Did they improve/remove the vsync applied to Gears of War 3? The input lag is gone for me. Trying Red Dead Redemption now to see because it was really apparent there.
Yea what the hell I'm having an easier time aiming in RDR as well, what the...

Placebo. From all we know, they've only fixed the stutter issues with the latest bc update.

Great to hear.

If I hear anyone complaining about input lag...

 

[etta]

Yes they did

https://twitter.com/XboxQwik/status/778274149273710592

Holy fucking shit yes!!!! Black Ops feels more responsive now as well omg!

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Holy shit that's great news! Gona have to try BLOPS tonight

 

[muzzymate]

So improved input latency across all backwards compatible games too, not just the ones that got updates yesterday? Excellent. It was never a problem before with me but if there is even less, so much the better.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

With this fix is Halo Reach better now since I have not touched it since it became backwards compatible.

 

[FyreWulff]

With this fix is Halo Reach better now since I have not touched it since it became backwards compatible.

it might help the input lag. Reach is just really intense for the 360 in general though

 

[Gai Murakumo]

That's unfortunate since it has the best campaign but the framerate is pretty bad for the campaign at least on the One from what I remember.

 

[EmiPrime]

If they can get the multi-disc games running and polish up Halo Reach my 360 might end up on the chopping block. Very impressive work, just in time for Gears 4 too.

[BHK3]

I'm gonna need digital foundry numbers on this, Gears Judgement looked pathetic on BC from the videos I saw. I just want the games to run the same as 360 if possible, Reach running well would also be nice.

Since this is a general update, were there any other games that had some problems?

 

[FyreWulff]

That's unfortunate since it has the best campaign but the framerate is pretty bad for the campaign at least on the One from what I remember.

Like, just to give you an idea.. it more than tripled the scene complexity from Halo 3, and had a few of it's original encounter designs shaved down because it turned out the 360 couldn't handle them near the end of development.

Not only is that game have the 360's gas pedal pushed all the way down, the engine is redlined and in about 2 more seconds it's about to go through the bottom of the car :V

 

[Fox Mulder]

I'm hoping Vanquish is not too far off since we got Bayonetta. I would think Platinum Games used the same engine or close to it.

stuff like this is why I wish we lived in a perfect world where they could just make a solid 360 emulator and you could run whatever games you wanted. The game by game thing is nice for optimization, but relies on publisher support to allow games.

They've done a great job with this though, more than i expected really.

 

[muzzymate]

With this fix is Halo Reach better now since I have not touched it since it became backwards compatible.

Microsoft appears to be working on it. If Reach has the same gains that Gears 3 and Judgement had with the still upcoming game specific update, I think you'll be pleased.

They already have multi disc games running. Deus Ex was the first.

 

[yankeehater]

My most wanted are:

1) Ninja Gaiden 2
2) Radiant Silvergun
3) Lost Odyssey
4) Mass effect 3
5) Mass Effect 2
6) Blue Dragon

I really think those are the big ones that are missing for me.

Ah nice. I got Deus Ex with GWG so I didn't know.

[Danis Saur]

I just want more Sega games (Dreamcast and Saturn games mostly).

 

[Synth]

1) Daytona USA

Will come up with the rest once I have Daytona USA.

 

[Jawmuncher]

I just want lost odyssey, el shaddai, and Catherine

 

[ebevan91]

What are some good BC games that I can play that AREN'T also on PC and also isn't RDR or Gears?

 

[Scrawnton]

I would like:
1. Lost Odyssey
2. Tales of Vesperia
3. Bad Company 2
4. Oblivion
5. World at War

 

[The Elite]

At this point I have to imagine that if Capcom was in a position to sell Ultimate Mahvel again they would go remastered instead of BC.

 

[Zeta Oni]

I just want lost odyssey, el shaddai, and Catherine

I feel your pain..

 

[DagnastyEp]

Ten most wanted to come to BC:

1. Mass Effect 2
2. Mass Effect 3
3. Dead Space 2
4. Dead Space 3
5. Batman: Arkham Origins
6. Enslaved
7. Bulletstorm
8. Vanquish
9. Doom 3 BFG (digital version, currently only disk version supported)

 

[TheKeyPit]

I'd like to see Asura's Wrath and Splinter Cell Blacklist become bc. I don't own them, but I'd buy them immediately.

 

[Mrstriker09]

Can Tales of Vesperia come already!! Everything i see it on sale i think its coming but it doesn't lol

 

[ResidentDante]

Huge improvement in Gears 3 & Judgement. Still don't understand the voodoo magic that the Microsoft engineers did to pull this off, but it continues to amaze me.

Ohh, you're tempting me to replay them!!

 

[OttoSporteman]

I'll be honest. At this moment, the only games I want are the Games With Gold that were given for free before Backwards Compatibility was announced and are still not supported.

 

[speedomodel]

Would love:
Far Cry 2
Syndicate
Dead Island Riptide
Call of Juarez Bound in Blood
GTA IV (plus DLC)
Rage
Mafia II

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I REALLY wish MS would fix the lock-on issue for Sonic & Knuckles. If you don't have Xbox 360 saves of the other Sonic games in the cloud, the bonus games don't work. It's been this way since it became a BC title in May. It's annoying.

 

[Unit24]

Eh, Gears 3 still feels sluggish. It may be better, but it's still not good.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Isn't ninja gaiden 2 published by ms?

 

[Justinh]

Isn't ninja gaiden 2 published by ms?

I thought so too, but apparently not (according to the description on the xbox website),

 

[CRZYSPZ]

Don't forget ilomilo!

They also published Dust: An Elysian Tale and Charlie Murder!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Anyone else having an issue purchasing Xbox 360 games from Xbox.com? I'm receiving an "Error in Application" every time I try to purchase a 360 game.

Edit - It's not just the website, it's also on Xbox One. I cannot purchase a single 360 game. On the website I get an error and on XB1, it locks up after clicking "See Price". I wonder if this is a systemwide Xbox issue.

 

[Denyou]

Where are you Mass Effect 2 & 3?!?!?!
