Well it's the best by default because it's the only console only Doom game.
But it doesn't count because the chances of seeing it ported to any other system legitimately is slim to none so there's no point in even thinking about it.

Check your TV settings. I've not noticed any issues with Pac-Man CE here.

Last time I tried Reach, it didn't go so well. And that was after their first fix. :/
Has it improves since then?

Same here. Pac has been smooth sailing so it must be something else on your end, bigkurz.

I wasn't being facetious lol. It's a bit of a stupid pet peeve of mine to see people not getting that Redemption wasn't the first one.
Red Dead Revolver gets ignored way too often.
Given they already brought the Xbox One version as a "Games with Gold" title I would understand if this was the absolute bottom of their list ... ;-)

I'm trying to freshen up on Gears by installing the past 4 3 games. I'm issuing a disc, but my Xbox keeps saying each one needs an "Update" and attempts to download the entire game digitally, regardless of the disc.
Why is this happening, has anyone figured out how to fix this,

You can't "fix" it because that's exactly what it's supposed to do. In order for backwards compatibility to work the Xbox One needs the game installed completely to the drive. The disc is just saying "yeah I bought this" and that's about the extent of it.

Right, but the issue is that every other physical game I have ever installed has used the disc to install the game data, the Gears games only allow me to install the entirety of the game data digitally instead of using the disc.
For example, Halo: Reach and Left 4 Dead 2 installed within minutes because they installed the game data from the disc.
I'm not really sure. It's an odd game. It's only worth 600 achievement points and putting the Disc in your system downloads XBLA DOOM & DOOM 2.

I thought it already was? I haven't checked, but I saw some posts suggesting it was fixed.

Um... No they didn't. All backwards compatible games download from the server.

Pretty sure every BC game is downloaded.
Use regular black settings on your X1, not zero white. And turn up the darkness in-game. It fixes it.

No, I get that. I was agreeing with you in my totally unclear way while also adding that it was ironic of the other guy to make a useless post about how he thought my post was useless.
You're thinking of Tomb Raider: DE. I already have RotTR on XB1, but I wouldn't mind playing through the 360 version solely to double dip on the achievements. I think the only way it would be BC is if it was offered as a GwG title later (maybe a year from now?).

On the subject of everybody wants it but no one uses it.

More at the link. I know few of us care but is he right? Do most gamers not really want to play old games?

Why not both? I played Gears Judgement with my X1 COOP pals because we all skipped it last gen and we had a blast despite the game's shortcomings.
Seems like he hates fun.

maybe he should check out some of the playstation stuff... Ive seen plenty of people that want BC on PS4 for PS3 games. Instead of some kind of trashy streaming service.
He is just so wrong it hurts.
Aren't they doing both?

I heard those were fixed recently with a patch?
Is that an admittance that Playstation Now is unpopular?
Unsure why providing choice is such a bad thing, and I doubt the people working on the compatibility would be game devs anyhow so it's not really taking resources away from Blinx 3 or something.
I think it's a bit silly that he's talking down about it, I'd love to have BC on the PS4 but Sony only want to resell me games I already own.

Alan Wake doesn't need any adjustments from the default brightness setting. Alan Wake's American Nightmare still has a black crush issue. It's not as bad as Alan Wake's black crush before the patch, though, so American Nightmare is at least playable after turning the brightness up as few notches.

Guess all the old game's I've been playing/replaying don't count.
Great PR response. They can't physically get PS3 running on a PS4 so say gamers don't want to play old games. Meanwhile, they churn out PS2 games to rebuy even if you already own them on PS3 PSN.
EDIT: Never mind, he left Sony.

what about (re)selling PS2 games for PS4 on PSN?

It's the same shit like "No one on PS4 want's or need's ea access". That's bullshit.

People use digital BC. The whole "no one uses BC" thing is from a time where you had to keep old ass discs around that filled your shelves. At some point you always got rid of that shit.
With digital purchases people just download the stuff they own. I see plenty of BC activity on my friends list.

I'll sum it up.
100% of owners may choose not to use it but at least that 100% now have the choice to use it.

That's the damn point isn't it? Do I really want to dig out my old consoles to play old games? I'd rather not. But it's great to have a new console that allows me to not have to do that.
His argument is not that people don't want to play old games or the ability to interact with old things material, it's that they don't want to dig out the old hardware to do that. No shit!
Yea we all know every single PS4 owner bought every single PS2 re release.

wait is this coming from the guys that just released a remake?
No. He's left Sony.
I think the point they fail to understand is as consumers we want choice. We want the option to say I made this investment and I want to be able to pick up and play a game from a previous generation on my new console without the hassle of reconnecting the older console. This to me shows that a company values their fans and wants them to feel like the games they purchased in the past still hold value now. Sure you might not play it often but there is still the ability to do so when you have an urge.

Why not both?
The statement "Players don´t want old games, they only want new games" is just ridiculous on so many levels
1) Sony did more remasters of PS3 games than MS of their games.
2) Sony also brings back old games from the PS2 and also charges for them (again)
3) Sony has PS Now (and charges for that)

Maybe I'm just a part of the niche he's talking about. I think that there are games that are timeless and should always be available and the 360 has no shortage of those types of games.
Besides there have been so many popular re-releases this gen far that makes me think it's not really as niche as he may believe.
I think that this is going to be a standard featute for Xbox systems from here on out and not just the previous gen but every system from 360 onward will have backwards compatibility.

easy to say when your system can't do it. It was a huge uproar when the new systems were announced and they couldn't do it. Now X1 can and "it doesn't matter."
Matters to me. I love having all my games on one box and having the video and screenshot abilities, plus twitch.
