We need an "RDR BC OUT NOW" while they're on-stage at E3.

OR EARLIER PLEASE!

It's the most likely scenario! I think MS want to "win" E3 and thrust at the top of E3 topics.

Maybe they'll announce the GWG for june as usual this week and add RDR to the list as available starting 16th June on stage @ E3.

"The XB1 used to have games be free for longer than a month (alongside a new one each month) but they were never repeated."

They had extended free periods, that's not the same as repeating a game after the GWG period is over. None of those games have been GWG since the original offer expired.

Repeating with the opposite version isn't the same...

Come on now - repeating with the opposite system's version is close to a repeat, considering now all x360 GWG's work on X1. It's basically a loophole.

Close but not really. You can still grab the XB1 or 360 version if you've got the other. Is it a bit cheap? yea (though I don't mind it), but it's hardly a repeat. They're different platforms with different userbases, hypothetically why should someone who only has an xbox 360 never get say, dark souls 2, just because they gave away dark souls 2 on XB1 at some point?

If you're talking about strictly BC games that work on XB1 aswell, none of the 360 GWG's that work on XB1 has been repeated either. The only 360 game that's been GWG since November that also has a remastered edition is SR4, and the XB1 version hasn't been free yet.

Either way that's a completely different situation from repeating the same game, for the same platform twice, which they haven't done and I seriously doubt they're gonna start it in June, the same month where E3 takes place and is typically one of the biggest months in the gaming industry.

Seeing a rumor that Red Dead will be GWG for June....that would be wonderful.

Looks like one of the most fake pictures of all time, so don't get your hopes up.

 

[Rellik]

They're not going to give that away for free to Gold members when it can be used as a pre-order bonus.

(Hopefully this post doesn't come back to haunt me in 10 years time when someone bumps it after it's been on GWG)

they would if MS paid them enough for the privilege. It would sell boxes immediately. The game has been onsale for $5 before, it's not that expensive a game. It's 6 years old.

 

[itsc4z]

It runs okey. Suffers from framerate drops and input lag

I saw a post in the black ops thread regarding input lag and someone said that moving that game to your internal hdd fixes it.

I tried it with gears 3 last night and tested it in sp / mp and it worked. When the game was on my external hdd it had insane input lag, like a 1 second delay but its 1:1 now.

 

[ResidentDante]

Wounder how goody OG xbox titles would end up, it would be an emulator inside of an emulator

The best would be making a new emulator for
Xbox original games to run directly on the One, though I'd say it's a small chance they'll ever do it.

 

[MrBlonde]

There are not to many 360 games I want to play again other then SSX since there are no current snowboarding games but I just remembered one more I would love to see....BLUR, what a blast hat was online and not sure why it didn't do better.

Me too! Blur was awesome online. As good as Mario Kart imo

 

[EvB]

is Need for Speed HT worth it as a burnout fan?

Yes definately, the racer mode plays like old school burnout, just caning it as fast as you can, drifting and boosting and chaining things together.
It has take downs like Burnout 3 onwards.

[Jack The Nipper]

is cod still on sell and is there anyway to gift them or sell them? i cant get the store to work from my paypal

 

[Backlogger]

I assumed Forza Horizon would eventually come since its a MS game. I know they had announced FH2 already right?

I have bought a few things from this site here and there and they have FH1 for $6.75

While you're looking through that window, do you mind walking on in and hitting the big red button that will release the games?

It looks like this....

...only instead of "Easy" it says "Make Gamers Happy"

Really need to finish New Vegas, hoping it comes!

Hoping WB does Barman Origins too since they aren't including it in the remaster collection.

Still waiting on AC Rogue too since it was last gen only and it's one of only ACs I haven't played

I have all my games on my internal HDD (which i replaced with a bigger one). And no the game really isnt 1:1. Regardless if External or Internal

Noice. Its about damn time that RDR finally shows up. It sits on my Box since February not playable Online.

Fallout New Vegas would be cool, because I've only played Fallout 3 so far.

So reading how Black Ops runs better on the internal drive, opposed to an external, I'm wondering if this is the case for all 360 BC games, or is Black Ops an exception?

I've got input lag, and its on internal. Unplayable for me.

 

[friskykillface]

look at that $3.74 for GOTG(game of the generation) Bully B^)

do it rockstar

 

[Captain Zyrain]

So reading how Black Ops runs better on the internal drive, opposed to an external, I'm wondering if this is the case for all 360 BC games, or is Black Ops an exception?

I've got little to no input lag and it's installed on the internal (Halo 5 Xbox one if it matters).

 

[zeelman]

BO1 is a laggy mess. I can't believe I actually paid for XBL and thought this was playable. AW and BO3 feel lightyears ahead of this game in comparison.

 

[ipukespiders]

I initially had issues with black ops (first game I played I went 0-10) but I'm used to it now and that's with also playing PS4 black ops 3, advanced warfare, and BF4 (I'm a sucker for double XP weekends).

Switching between all 4 games over the course of this weekend has been interesting. Different controls, different ttk, different play styles.

I don't understand why this could even be possible.

Big 360 sale:

Doom 1 and 2 would have been nice

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I don't understand why this could even be possible.

I'm not even sure it is. Is there any real proof of this, or is it one of those things where someone "felt" it was a bit better and then from there it somehow spiraled into "fact" due to the placebo effect?

 

[Syriel]

I don't understand why this could even be possible.

Maybe someone is comparing a crappy external to the internal.

 

[JeffG]

Well..someone "claimed" a 1 sec lag when played of an external drive, which defies any xbox 1 behavior shown by DF on testing with external drives

Probably the same people that say their eyes bleed if the framerate drops below 30. lol

BUNCH of 360 games on sale this week!

I have irrationally decided to raise my expectations for a big week of backward compatibility news.
I mean....why else would Microsoft have a big 360 sale? Right? Right?? ;-)

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Oh shit, Lego Pirates and Indy 2 are finally on sale again. And Pirates is BC. Awesome!

 

[Hollycat]

Bought New Vegas a couple weeks ago when I got an Xbox in hopes it would be playable soon.

 

[soundscream]

Big 360 sale:

I would love to get some of these, but the delay on Bioshock Infinite has me a little cautious of just potentially throwing money into the air and hoping it flies back to me.

 

[Black Republican]

SF V Tekken, nah

Please make Tales BC!

its only $3, might as well buy it, and pray

 

[Arby 'n' the Chief]

"buys SF x T but looks at price of add-ons......."

good thing it's on sale

 

[KneehighPark]

Asura's Wrath is on sale. Here's hoping it comes to XB1

 

[B4D1E]

The fact that RDR is on sale, crush the rumor that it'll come to GWG.

 

[ResidentDante]

I'm sorry but the reducing of input lag by moving games from an external (which DF already has confirmed usually are must faster drives) to the internal one sounds like complete BS.
