Third-party publishers are not supporting this program; this is infuriating. The minute we knew that Microsoft needed publishers to okay the addition of their games, we should have seen this coming.

But at least Microsoft gave us some warning.

"Our biggest obstacle there is working with publishers and getting their approval for the older titles. We continue to work on that right now, I would say, it varies in response across the publishers. Some are like 'yep, let's go, rock n' roll' and others are a little bit more thoughtful about how they want to think about that. It's hard for us to promise, I'll just make something up, 20 titles a month from now on, because it really depends on the publisher enabling us to release those titles."

Now I know why Microsoft waited so long into December to add more games.

Actually 16 games is a pretty good number.

Add 2 GwG titles each month = 18 titles / month => 216 new titles each year => I can live with that :)

2 gwg titles doesn't mean 2 games being added to BC. They could pick 2 gwg's from games already BC.

I own 13/16 so I'm happy with this group. One of the big ones, I actually don't own in Deus Ex. How long is it?

This month we got 3 + 16 so we actually got 19 in December. Not bad at all.

You have shit taste, or you're trolling

I would imagine he just doesn't own a majority of them and wasn't that interested in them when they came out. Definitely doesn't mean they suck. Honestly, most of these games are good-to-great caliber.

I bet one of the major issues is that there's no way to directly buy 360 games on the XB1 machine. I expect a lot of publishers are holding off until they have a means to sell their old games directly to XB1 users instead of the roundabout ways we have had to get 360 games now.

It's a slow trickle, sure...but no one expected Rome to be built in a day. I'd be happy if we get ~200 games a year for the next couple of years. I think you'll see more publishers get on board when you can buy these games directly from your XB1 and most of the remaster-worthy (ugh) titles have been released on the current gen. You'll continue to see higher profile 3rd party titles end up being bundled with their future sequels (ie. Fallout)
 
Comments like this are hilariously stupid. Like typing with two fingers while breathing profusely through your mouth type stupid.


I guess the question you should be asking yourself at this point is "Should I go fuck myself?"

The answer is yes. It's always yes, RiccochetJ (sp).
 
Reports of Reach running slow are disheartening. I was also really hoping for Black Ops 1 in this update so I could really delve in with my XIM and get a feel for the performance and input latency.
 
The frame rate in Reach is atrocious. It is borderline unplayable.

Yeah, if this is what we have to look forward to, I'm thinking MS may have misjudged their capabilities as clearly this isn't easy nor a guarantee.
i mean, they still have yet to update Gears3 :/

no duder, they DID update gears 3 it's just still not 100% there yet. It still has input lag and framerate issues, though both were improved after the recent update.

I'm just not sure the XB1 is cut to match the performance of playing these games on the 360.

I'm all for them turning off some xbox one specific features (like dvr and screenshots) if it meant more resources towards backwards compatibility (no, I don't expect that to happen).

Disappointing that Reach is unplayable. First Gears now Reach.
Gears 3 is still really bad after the update. Playing MP against 360 players is almost unfair
