Alan Wake BC is disappointing. I had my hopes on a remaster...

All MS published games are going to be BC... this has been known since the beginning. That doesn't mean there won't be a remaster.

Everything MS publishes will be available via BC, remaster available or not. From Alan Wake to Minecraft. It's just a matter of when, not if.

There's Gears of War for example. The Ultimate Edition has been released but the original one is still available through BC.

So excited to play RDR again, I've got the GOTY edition though, it came with 2 discs, so will it not work? I'm not sure if it technically counts as a multiple disc game like Mass Effect or Lost Odyssey where the second disc is a direct continuation, because I'm pretty sure the GOTY edition just split up the original game and the Undead Nightmare pack?

Also, as far as I'm aware, there isn't an all in one digital game for Red Dead? I'll need to get the standard game and then the Undead collection?

Alan Wake American Nightmare runs really well. If there is input lag I don't notice it. It seems like they really did some work on the emulator.

As someone who spent an embarrassing 50hrs getting the achievements in American Nightmare, the BC version runs extremely well (as good as the original) and the input lag is almost nonexistent. Hopefully a sign for future BC titles :D

Hopefully. I still can't play the Sonic games because of the lag. I'm worried SOTN will be the same.

if you previously got achievements in the game, you can look at your achievements page, bring up the game's list of achievements, and then goto the first tab (Info, I think). If it has a Store page, you can get to it there. No looking at random profiles following page necessary.

You wont get to the Store page if thats unlisted. People probably got to this Store pages through a tester that is playing this games.

Have there been any hints at when Forza Horizon might be coming (if it comes at all)? Also has anyone seen anything about the Xcom games?

Can't wait to download Symphony of the Night. Tried earlier by following someone but doesn't seem to work.

Now all I want is Guardian Heroes...please Treasure. Please.

Really excited to see Red Dead Redemption released.

And I'm surprised how anxious I am to see Castlevania: Symphony of the Night getting close to release. Make it happen tonight, Microsoft! :)

I hate to burst your bubble, but they've been sitting on SOTN since about April , I've had that pin and store page since July, it's not new and nothing has changed

Maybe they thought they get publisher approval, made everything ready and the publisher refused in the last second?

I think the jig is up, I've been rumbled and lost access to all of my bits.

Oh well , it's been fun. I will keep on hunting and finding new avenues to walk down

Sad to hear it, man.
Appreciate the info you've dropped over the months.
Thanks again.

I can't wait for Symphony of the Night to get supported. I've owned it since launch but never managed to play for more than ten minutes because of that shitty, shitty 360 d-pad. Will be great to finally play it on my Bone.

That sucks EvB. If Microsoft would just be transparent and say we are working on xyz game as the publisher has given the go ahead. Then there would be no need data digging to see what is going on.

Shame, thanks for everything you've done, it's been fun following your rumours.

If only MS would come out and say what games they're working on and people wouldn't have to do detective work to try and figure it out..

I would imagine there are licensing/legal reasons they don't do this.

I'm glad some heavy hitters are coming really looking forward to Alan wake. But this whole follow this to get this to work work around is just ludicrous just release the fucking things so I can pop a disc in the digital prices are an absolute joke bc is such a cluster fuck.
Click to expand...

Yes, it's an "absolute joke" and a "cluster fuck" because Microsoft is daring to QA software before releasing it for consumption.

How dastardly evil of Microsoft to do such a thing!

WouldYouKindly said:
If people are playing them they are ready. So to only have the digital up and to have a bullshit loophole to play them is a cluster fuck just release both versions.
Click to expand...

With this kind of attitude, one has to wonder why companies even bother with QA. I mean, WouldYouKindly has SPOKEN!

If QA testers can play a game, then it must be 100% ready to go, so Microsoft should just skip QA and release it!
/s

If this is what you honestly believe, then you have a lot to learn about software development.

There are licensing/legal issues as well as backlash if things get delayed.

Just look at all the previous whining in this thread about Black Ops, Halo Wars and RDR and how Microsoft was "shit" for "holding them back."

WouldYouKindly's posts on the previous page are a shining example if it. Some beta games leaked and he thinks he deserves them all now. You run into the same thing with "we're working on XYZ" announcements.

Too many companies have gotten burned over the years. Easier to just announce when it is almost done, than to announce and run into a delay, or announce and end up cancelling.

I've still got a few places to go, but it's going to be not quite as regular as it once was.
I still get a few clues, but I think my main list is going to added to as easily, or at least added to as confidently.
It's ok, it's their prerogative to keep it to themselves, there will be lots of variables as to why a game may or may not be coming, so I guess it's good to not make any promises you may not be able to keep.

It's still looking like the master list is looking good, It's exciting when somebody just finds a game and everyone rushes to go and download it.

I've followed all the games and weirdnesses I've found, so feel free to take a look : EvilBoris DX
