Thank you. I sure hope it's sooner than later, I've never played Halo Wars. Would definitely like to try it before Halo Wars 2 comes out.

It's a great game, people gave it hate because you had an army size limit but the game was built around it, it's not red alert where you save up and make 50 tanks to steamroll the enemy, you can also combine a few things together to make them stronger units like placing a spartan inside a tank, but that spartan can also level up from experiance on the field first making them even stronger!

Great game.

spartan example, you can produce a spartan, get him to kill some stuff to level up, attach a laser sentinal to him (like a following buddy) then place him inside a tank which has it's own bubble shield sentinal, you have a super mega ultra tank.

 

[oneida]

played a bit last night

DOOM - no problems
Streets of Rage 2 - sound MIGHT be slightly off? I was listening for it, so it could've been my imagination. Will test soon.
Super Hang On - I swear the songs are mixed up, like I always pick track 4 and thought that this time it was a different song. Easy to test
Wonder Boy - songs play at incorrect speed?
Golden Axe - no problems
Monster World IV - no problems

 

[desu]

Gimme all the JRPGs and Forza and I'll have one more reason to upgrade to Xbone. But I guess games with multiple discs are still a problem for now.

 

[Addnan]

Why do I have three empty boxes of Gears 2. ffs

 

[NavNucST3]

Hm.... Starting a BC game, the 360 interface always tells me, that it disconnected from Xbox Live and I can't connect to my profile. What to do?

Had that happen as well but I just did Download Profile entered my account info from the 360 guide menu and haven't had the problem since.

 

[8bit]

Anyone play Crazy Taxi? I wanna know if the frame rate is bad on the One, or if it was like that on the 360 to begin with.

It was a lousy port but don't seem to remember the framerate as much of an issue. Just everything else.

--

edit, just tried it on both consoles. The framerate does seem to be worse going downhill at the beginning of the game, and on the way to the helipad in particular.

 

[BlondeTuna]

Anybody have any idea why a Mass Effect add-on (Bring down the sky) won't install? I have it on a separate disc and can't get it past 45% installation when attempting to install from the disc or the store...

I played it last night and it was fine, it didn't slow down in the places where the Dreamcast version would.

You know, that ramp on the right near the trees at the start

 

[mcrommert]

Looking forward to a digital foundry breakdown of performance across all these games...very interesting stuff

Even with reduced performance everything I have played so far is totally playable and is better than not having the game.

 

[BFIB]

Amazing OT title.

No Red Dead makes me a sad Marston.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DLC/add-ons aren't universally supported. It's added in a case-by-case I think. Not sure if that's one that's been confirmed to work.

I have the ME DLC installed from about a month back, odd why it stops at 45% as it's a download from the web after checking the disc license, could be a server side issue.

Taking a leaf out of the Sony handbook of marketing


This is how backward compatibility works on Xbox One
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzg5iSOCAZo

Funny how they show someone downloading Geometry Wars, a game that's not backwards compatible yet (unless you were in the preview program).

 

[def sim]

I downloaded Gears Judgement and Pacman CE the other day. I haven't tried the former yet, but man I'm awful at Championship Edition. Dope game, though, and I'm glad it's available to me again.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Why not the entire mass effect trilogy?

 

[Heysoos]

Why not the entire mass effect trilogy?

Because of multiple discs maybe

 

[The Artisan]

that title xD

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Because of multiple discs maybe

Surely there's a way around that. I need my mass effect.

I sold my last gen consoles because of xbox one BC because 90% of the games I cared about back then are now playable on current gen through remasters or BC.

Gimme dat last 5%.

 

[Diablohead]

When ME2 does hit I hope the loading times are better, if that means I need to buy an external HDD then so be it

 

[sonto340]

Just popping in to say NBA jam is still fantastic.

 

[Docpan]

How is south park as a game? Worth it?

How's the emulation?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

So you took my perfectly fine established topic, copy and pasted my entire OP that I spent a lot of time on, and made a new thread because you wanted to change the title basically...like what?

How is this allowed?

Save yourself the pain, man ME's DLC was dire.

In other news, sorry, I don't know what the issue is

Gears 3 Horde time! Bad slowdown on Jacinto in the rain, but it's fun to play it again.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

I wonder if I can make playing fallout 4, then 3 work. Or if it will be painful playing backwards.

 

[inoperativ]

Don't know how the emulation is but if you enjoy the TV show it's a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Yeah I don't see the point in this topic, there was nothing wrong with yours and it was still active last night. Was so confused when I came on.

 

[Somnia]

Worse part of BC is I can't use my MS Wallet to buy games on xbox.com, boooooo

 

[The Real Napsta]

Someone on here put in the DLC disc and it downloaded the whole game and the DLC's.

I can confirm the dlc disc with "the Pitt and Operation Anchorage" works as well.

EDIT: Does F3 come with all of the dlc on Xbox One?

After putting in my F3 disc, the rest of the dlc packs are showing up under ready to install.

 

[Spasm]

God damn, ME still looks pretty good... Well, the environments anyway. Characters are a little rough.

Loaded up my save right at the end, two jumps, finished. Still Alive is still so good. Can't wait to start over.

 

[pizzacat]

Anyone know what forum to complain to to get gears 3 to work

 

[jmizzal]

I have a lot to play right now, but will def get some of these games soon, never had a 360

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Not really, they could take GWG's from the catologue that already exists

For example December could be Lego Star Wars or Mirrors Edge (both would make sense too, SW film is out and ME has a sequel coming up)

I believe all future 360 GWG titles will be backwards compatible

I love the irony of having incompatible "backwards compatibility" threads...

but I'm sure it's only funny if you haven't spent ages on making useful and informative threads - sorry!

 

[Zeus7]

I have just bought an Xbox One for the BC and Fallout 4 but it seems to have came with an old 360 style headset? Is this normal these days? I loved the Original One headset.

 

[operon]

Anyone know or tried the Sega mega drive ultimate collection. I see the vintage collection is supported but don't know if the disk one is

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Haha no worries!

I'm not like mad, just would have been nice if I would have been asked beforehand to basically use all my work. The answer of course would have been, sure, go ahead...but like the courtesy of a heads up would have been nice.

On the plus side, I guess the pressure of keeping the OP updated is not longer mine :shrug:

 

[Chris1]

I believe all future 360 GWG titles will be backwards compatible

That's correct, I was just saying that doesn't mean we will get 2 new BC titles every month, because they could pick the GWG's from a game that's already been enabled for BC a previous month.

 

[GitarooMan]

So with Borderlands GOTY, if you put in the GOTY edition disc 1 it just seems to recognize it and gives you all the DLC (whole thing is about 8.2GB). Haven't played it much, so can't comment on performance yet.

 

[BlondeTuna]

Gears 3 Horde time! Bad slowdown on Jacinto in the rain, but it's fun to play it again.

My save files are tied to the DLC. Can't use them without it.

It seems to have been a server issue because I can install it now.

Oh man I'm sorry! Was no intention on stealing anything, I really should have PM'ed you first. It was discussed for a while in one of the threads to make a OT so I gathered your stuff and re-used it. I did link to your original post.

No Just Cause 2 impressions? Seems like I'll have to play it and post some.

Ye seems to be that way, luckily I kept my old headset when I upgraded to the 1tb version. Although with the new controllers they at least have a standard 3.5mm port.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Btw if you are from germany and want the south park game uncut, simply switch the console to the US region and download the game from there.
Then switch back and enjoy the full uncut version of stick of truth

I put in a standard borderlands 1 disc and it gave me all the dlc for some reason

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Played through Blood of the Werewolf a tiny bit to finally check it out. I love how these seemingly random digital games are coming...I appreciate them more than most of the big AAA 360 games anyways.

Ya stealing was maybe the wrong way for me to look at it, I did see the link and reference.

Don't worry about it, Lets just make this the last (and definitive) topic on Backwards Compat .

Let's carry on the discussion of BC. I do rather enjoy the topic title anyways!

I played downloaded and played it last night. Is it possible that you bought it under another Xbox Live account on the same console?

I had a quick go at it last night, seemed to run ok from the brief spell I played
