Resolution bumps are possible but probably rare if it happens. If there were X360 games that used variable resolution you might see an increase there but for most games a resolution bump would probably require a actual port or remaster. Framerate increases on the other hand are very likely, as we've already seen examples of games that run better than their 360 versions. This will likely be more pronounced on Scorpio. Some games will still be capped because they were programmed that way and the increase in framerate would likely break animations and other things.

This is guaranteed. The 360 stuff on the One S uses it's slightly more power to make 360 emulation a little bit better.

A higher resolution I wouldn't be so sure on, not because it'd be impossible persay, but because "internal resolution" isn't always 1:1 to the screen. But I would expect 30 or 60fps locked for sure.

Mm. I was thinking along the lines of what Dolphin can do for GameCube and Wii U games, but I neglected to remember that it's approximate scaling. While I realize it won't all be 1:1, surely they could find a way to make a universal solution that can handle cases where it isn't 1:1? Especially since every 360 game is widescreen, anyway.

Unless I'm being a complete idiot. Which is very, very likely.

Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon took like a month to be available digitally IIRC

Similarly, Mass Effect 2 and 3 are available digitally if you pay EA Access, but you can't actually buy them.

"Your Mom Goes To College" is a great server name.

Not as good as OLD-GUYS-R-US ONEHUNGLO

Ninja Gaiden II today boys I feel it

 

[Epcott]

*Hopes for Nier*

Todays BC games have been cancelled. We'll do better at not announcing dates too early next time. - Spencer

I could go for some Nier, but I have it on my PS3. might just put my XB1 in storage for now and replace it with the PS3. Might be something that makes me keep it plugged in for a little while though.

 

[ClivePwned]

its always slightly disheartening to see a game that you already have and would love to replay on X1 go BC and then realise you have the PS3 version.

 

[Figments]

Fuck Nier. I finally got Battlefield 3 and Bad Company 2 on this goddamn box, now I want Modern Warfare 3 so I can finally retire my 360.

Do it, Xbox.

Do it for your boy, FIgments.

Really? There are other threads for this nonsense, please take these comments there.

OT- Ninja Gaiden 2 would be nice. I already have a 1000G on Phantasy Star Universe, but I actually wouldn't mind playing it again. Another game I have 100% is Amped 3, but wouldn't mind playing through it again as well. Love the theme and attitude in that game. Wish MS would buy the IP back so it would not keep wasting away.

Wow BF3 didnt age well haha.

Fuck MW3 too then, I want my Nier

 

[mr_sockochris]

There really needs to be either Virtua Tennis 2K4 or Topspin 4 added to BC. The lack of a tennis game this gen is criminal.

 

[Z_Y]

Played some BFBC2 Vietnam last night. Had me daydreaming about a current gen re-release with a bunch of licensed music from that era.

I wish BF3 was digital. It felt weird having to go dig out the disc and put it in the disc drive. I only installed everything. I will have to give it a go tonight. Hopefully they put it in the vault like they did ME2 and ME3.

I agree with this statement.

Rockstar table tennis please

 

[clockpunk]

Ooh, could do with another play though of the one and only true Ghostbusters sequel. I hope they fixed the achievement glitch... That one missing online achievement drove me crazy for years.

 

[shiftymorgan]

I would love for Final Fantasy XIII-2 and LR to be BC then, I would probably then *think* about packing away my 360.


Until I remember that I need to start playing tales of vesparia.

 

[Steve.1981]

Last night I noticed that Bioshock and Dragon Age: Origins had appeared in my download list. BC is such a great feature, I love these little surprises!

Anyone else playing Mass Effect and experiencing any of these issues?

• 2nd companion will not fight
• Can't equip some companions with armor or weapons
• major slowdown in some situations

I'm still playing and enjoying it, but it's a bummer when I go to equip someone with a weapon or armor and I lose all control of the game and having to restart the game.

I can't be sure it's the same cause, but I had all those issues on various 360 playthroughs.

Recently started another playthrough of the trilogy on my Xbone. It's like my fifth playthrough overall. Haven't noticed (and I don't remember ever having) the first two issues. Definitely getting slowdown though, and I think part 1 was always quite iffy in that regard.

Yeah, part 1 was poorly optimized. The really improved things for part 2 and part 3.

 

[Backlogger]

Because they announced so many games on Tuesday I'm guessing the likelihood of getting more games today might be low?

MGS HD is definitely one I'd love to see (as well as ZOE HD)

I now have MM 1-6 and 9-10 on X1. Just need Capcom to get 7 and 8 on X1 and I will have the complete collection. Don't see it happening though since 7 and 8 were 16 bit and 32 bit releases.

Well that's aggravating. Damn binary codes. Thinking that 10 comes before 9...

Good thing I only have 10 on Xbox. I got 9 for Wii. And I'm guessing it's gonna be stuck on there forever. Lol.

 

[Hilbert]

Wooo! Mega Man 9!

I did only play through it once, but I enjoyed it. And more Capcom support is nice to see.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Ninja Gaiden II?

No?

See you Tuesday friends.

 

[muzzymate]

I've noticed it before on other things, like listing Assassin's Creed IV before Assassin's Creed II, because the title for Assassin's Creed IV is actually "Assassin's Creed (R) IV" while "Assassin's Creed II" is just that. Another pet peeve of mine is putting all of "The XXX"'s in T, rather than sorting by the second word in that instance. I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one though.

No, that last one really bugs me.

oops, I completely missed that someone had posted already.

I wonder if we'll see Peace Walker release alongside MGS HD

Bill Stillwell ‏@wcstillwell
If Xbox sent you a system message that your 360 game was now Back Compat (as soon as it released), would that be helpful or intrusive?

Bill Stillwell ‏@wcstillwell
If you had the JP disc for Blue Dragon and the game installed the EN version, uninstalling and reinstalling it will make it the JP version.

 

[Justinh]

Also, ugh on sorting...

Sorting has always kind of bothered me on Xbox One (and Xbox 360 if I remember right). I think on 360 it was Doom II before Doom and I'm almost positive that Sonic 2 and 3 were before Sonic the Hedgehog (not anymore on the Xbox One though).

Banner Saga 2 is under "B", The Banner Saga is under "T". Portal 2 in front of Portal: Still Alive, and Monkey Island used to be under "T" for "The Secret of Monkey Island SE" with Monkey Island 2 under "M." At least those last two are right next to each other now (although not in the right order).

I've actually complained about this to Microsoft using the Preview Program app.

Glad I'm not the only person bothered by this sort of thing, it drives me absolutely crazy.

yes, really annoying.
feels good to know i am not the only one.

 

[Hilbert]

I think I ran into this problem, when I wanted to look at King Of Fighter games on the 360, some were under T for The King of Fighters, and some were under K.

The publisher should probably make sure their games work this way when entering them in Microsoft's registration site. Instead of just copy and pasting whatever document they are working out of.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

There's a strong correlation between core gamers and OCD behavior. Most of us are hoarders, too. Digitally if nothing else.

Conversely as someone with clinical OCD the Xbox One's odd organization doesn't bother me. But that's just the nature of the beast though.

Picked up Battlefield 3 in immaculate shape for $2.50 at a used game store. They hadn't realized it was BC yet since all the other stuff was way more expensive.

 

[Figments]

Is there any chance EA puts the Battlefield 3 Premium Edition on EA Access?

Because they have it on there on PC, and I really don't want to pay extra for the Premium pass on Xbox One.

It drives me crazy and it REALLY drove me crazy when I saw that Prototype and Prototype 2 have brackets around the names, so are listed before everything else!

You're not the only one. I for one get irritated by both instances happening. Anywhere, not just on Xbox.

There's some weird bug with sorting where Daytona USA doesn't show up at all

 

[Helznicht]

Its a damn shame that Sacred 3 is BC but Sacred 2 is not.

 

[Figments]

Uh. Is anyone else getting severe graphical issues with Battlefield 3?

I just encountered a few really bizarre things in Damavand Peak, for example:

https://1drv.ms/v/s!ApEI0LquMO3wg6s3ZBG0DtM52xQgHA

and

https://1drv.ms/v/s!ApEI0LquMO3wg6s4bmHmiRRJzj3LLQ

I also encountered some on Caspian Border (I think that's the map?), though I only managed to record one instance of it happening.

https://1drv.ms/v/s!ApEI0LquMO3wg6s5qEgJIe6hT8VAOw

I really hope Microsoft fixes this pronto. They're quite annoying.

Yea, this is a known bug and been reported numerous times.

Still no word on a fix unfortunately.
