Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility
- Thread starter Mugatu
- Start date
That sucks
would still like to give a try though. I can always load up my 360 and play it.. but damn does that controller feel terrible now.http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1099611
All the official information that is known is in that OT there.

They do, to keep the whole series available for people that jumped in on DR3 and only own an Xbox One.
Here's hoping for a DR4....

I really wish that was an user facing option. I know some would disagree, but I prefer torn frames rather than dropped framerate. I don't notice it as much as a poor framerate.
It launches with the general release of the new dashboard. I'm surprised there has not been more official announcements on the titles that will be available at launch.

Who knows, it could be an option eventually. They might have a system setting for it when the dashboard update releases. And there's always a chance of it getting through the feedback program.
They probably don't want to commit to anything just yet. We'll probably get a list as we get closer.

I expect them do like the Forza Car lists and announce 10-20 per week as we get closer, if they are truly launching with over 100.
That sucks
The screen tearing is barely noticeable on the 360

They've just been dropped to 50% off, as it happens.

I found it really bad & consistent, but I guess it depends where you are and what you're doing. For example, it was VERY noticeable when I was in a stripey tent (but I'm guesing most of the game doesn't happen in there!)
After playing Witcher 3, I went back to try 2 and it was not a nice experience.

Dangit, more games that I'll buy in anticipation of them becoming BC. Watch them not....

I'm still hoping like hell NieR makes it to BC but it's still around 2500 votes (I know that the vote system isn't a guarantee).
If any of you are inclined, please vote for NieR!

Yesterday I faced a bug in all Xbox 360 titles when played on Xbox One: they couldn't access Xbox Live, I tried deleting my Xbox 360 data to see if downloading my profile again would fix the issue, but after that I can't even download it again.
It appears that Xbox 360 game on Xbox One don't like wired connections, when I change it to my wi fi, it worked flawlessly. So, that's my story if anyone else face this same issue (not sure if anyone else already report it here).

This is such a great news for me. I thought BC wouldn't work with the worst programmed games (RDR was a beauty but also a mess, according to a few programmers).
If they can make it work, I think they can make every game work. Too bad some devs won't like it and instead will keep trying to cash in on remakes (I'm looking at you Activision, I know you're not going to give us COD for free).
Add Bioshock trilogy and Lost Odyssey and I'm in.

Ah yes, of course, I forgot Lost Odyseey.
But that makes me remember I still need to play Blue Dragon aswell!!

I know that there was some kind of marcetplace sniffer programs out for Xbox360 back in the day where you could browse through hidden stuff only microsoft employes have access to etc, partnet net stuff.
Not sure if something like this available/possible for Xbone.
Cheers. I don't think the info is real. There's games and publishers on the list who I know aren't working on BC.
Publishers not giving an okay doesn't stop microsoft from testing the games for bc.
Correct! But not much use unless it's.. of use to customers.
Are any publishers actually working on BC rather than simply approving the titles tho?
I'd assume all the actual BC work happens on MS' end, right?
The publishers have to do a bunch of things, including but not limited to supplying artwork (when you start the game etc you get artwork) and signing off the release.
I guess I'm massively underestimating their involvement then. I'd have assumed this stuff would basically be a case of saying "yea, you can list that", and fishing out an image that crops well into a square.
If the BioShock colletion leak is real then I don't see 2K making the games BC.
Every MS published games is pretty much confirmed

"Fallout 3 full game download, now playable on Xbox One"
Is this badly worded and he means on Nov 10 or is he hinting at FO3 being available later today?

The artwork can just be what was used for the 360 marketplace/"more info" page background going off Mass Effect on XB1. Just a big in-game screen of Shepard with a gun that was the same on 360.
Anyone specific?
I've found a couple more store pages today with a little help from a friend, so I'd like to hear which publishers you say aren't involved before I post them
Making the assumption that it is an emulator, making certain games work is likely to have broader positive implications with other games.

And by that you mean the fact that Take-Two wasn't on the list from Gamescom.
That's probably the description for when the bundle actually releases. Maybe FO3 will be playable for everyone when FO4 launches, same as 360 games included in Rare Replay don't need the preview dashboard to play.
I think I've just found something that may point to RDR being BC too
List of games that may be BC if I'm right, can you check and see if these have store pages yet or if you can find anything using your methods?
Red Dead Redemption
Undertow
Gears of War Judgement
Fable 3
Super Meat Boy
Roboblitz
Frogger
Contra
Yeah I know, but if this list is accurate then it should have lit up like a christmas tree like RDR did for him because it was tested very recently.
The list is just 360 games someone who works at xbox has played recently, it really could mean nothing because they could have played it on their 360.
Major Nelson and Phil Spencer had Rare games, Borderlands etc before BC was announced, and Major played Borderlands like a week before it was made BC for preview members. There's some other games that's already available for preview members (borderlands, toy soldiers cold war) in the list, and with EvB posting about RDR and that's why I think it's possible that list might be games being tested too.

SotN would be great, i'm long overdue playing that game again.
So finally found Castlevania's Store page and pin, but also found Bomberman too
I feel like time suddenly slows down every time we get new EvB backward compatibility confirmations. Its as if time itself realizes that I'm excited for a date to arrive, and somehow makes the wait 'til November even longer just to spite me.

I really hope MGS HD Collection gets back-compat. I doubt Konami gives a shit though.
I don't know if this has been discussed yet, but I just encountered an issue whereas my Banjo games stop launching on Xbox One. I've played them in the past without any issue but now suddenly it greets me with licensing issues?
After reinstalling I get the message: "Installation is almost done. If you have a game disc, insert it now. If this is installing from the XBL Store, the person who bought it needs to sign in with the profile they used at purchase."
I'm signed in with my only account, which made the purchases years ago, and it won't work. The XBL Store sends me to the Rare Replay page. Is it now required to own RR to play the Banjo games, even though I've bought them before?

You are probably trying to play the Rare Replay versions of the game. Just install the 360 XBLA and Games on Demand versions.
