The Black Ops 2 copy I bought from the UK came with a 2-day Xbox Live trial l code that actually was unused and still worked, how cool is that?

Well, I bought used Tony Hawk's Project 8 (game from 2006!) few weeks ago for 360 with unused 2-day Live trial and... it worked! I think that these codes do not have an expire date at all. I've played whole Ryse on XB1 from GWG thanks to this code

On topic, has anybody played Army of Two via BC? How does it work on XB1? Is framerate improved?

 

[Jawmuncher]

Timeshift
Assault Heroes 2
Commanders: Attack of the Genos

-Assault Heroes 2
-Commanders: Attack of the Genos

EDIT: Beaten by a minute. Lol.

Hopefully thursday prevails

The last match had a dude who was very good, but had extreme lag. You could see it in the way he teleported around, and his kill cams were hilarious. I don't understand how playing like this was a fun experience for the guy, but I kind of admire him for getting in a considerable amount of kills.

The lag wouldn't have affected him, the game would play just fine to all intents and purposes for him, just mess it up for everybody else.

I was tempted to pick up Dark Souls again but then the DF video showed that the game apparently runs worse in a handful of places. :/

 

[Izuna]

Lmao, Timeshift

I liked that game when it came out... But... It's average af

Nice rain tho

Warning: The ending will piss you the FUCK off

 

[LowerLevel]

Man, I got Assault Heroes twisted with Renegade Ops and was happy for a second. Then I remembered the name...

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Hopefully thursday prevails

I'd take 3 games I would barely play over no games!

It still runs better than on X360 overall and some of what DF observed was addressed by a later update, AFAIR.

I would wait for another sale on it and for Scorpio to come out.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Got TimeShift for 2 dollars a few months ago. Played a bit on my real 360 but definitely will get to it now it's on Xbox One. Nice day for me.

Isn't de Blob 2 THQ?

 

[muzzymate]

Isn't de Blob 2 THQ?

Originally at least. I wonder if Capcom is now the rights holder/current publisher after THQ went belly up.

If Capcom isn't current publisher, then it looks like that's a typo on the site I referenced.

THQ Nordic owns the current rights to de Blob.

"Microsoft has announced that Xbox Live on Xbox 360, and the backwards compatibility service on Xbox One, will be taken offline for maintenance."

I was just thinking that maybe they might not have any announcements for tomorrow

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

"Xbox One backwards compatibility service will go down tomorrow for maintenance"

I thought that was odd until I realized a better title would have been "Xbox Live for 360 goes down for maintenance, X1 BC also affected"

I think Major Nelsons Tweet said as much; that there would be no new titles announced tomorrow

Is that the first time XBL has been took down for maintenance? They usually do it behind the scenes, weird that they're taking it off completely?

If so, makes me think they're prepping something huge under the hood just before E3.

 

[Hitta93]

Max Payne 3 finally being made BC?

Whatever you do, don't think that they are emulating original xbox live.

STOP THINKING THAT

Don't play with my heart.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

They need to reinforce the 360 servers for the arrival of Ninja Gaiden II next Tuesday.

Quote me

 

[Akai__]

I'm pretty much only waiting for Splinter Cell Blacklist and the original NFS Most Wanted. :/

Everything else is just a nice bonus.

[Synth]

EDIT: doh, nvm

 

[RavenH2]

Sorry to bump, but I was wondering... has WarnerBrothers Interactive allowed any game for BC?

I was checking my 360 games and I would love to be able to replay my 360 batman games on the One.

Does this mean you would not be able to play your BC games, even if using a disc?

 

[EvB]

What about offline games?

They are saying that Xbox Live V1 I.e. what you use on 360 will go down.

You aren't using that for Xbox One.

If you are playing a BC game you will not get online status / messages from the built in mini guide as the mini guide will not sign into Xbox Live V1.

All BC games will boot and play as normal, unless the game itself required an online connection.

Does this mean you would not be able to play your BC games, even if using a disc?

No it does not mean that.

 

[ironcreed]

I am not counting on anything today.

No, they occasionally took Xbox Live down for 360 (maybe once every 18 months)

I don't think they need to do that now , as new Xbox Live runs on azure and is perhaps distributed differently across.

Nah I don't think it will be anything like that but not sure what it could be. Just find it strange they took XBL down completely.

If you remember before BC was announced, preview members were getting daily updates on XB1 for like a month and everyone was wondering why.

Don't really know what it could be, if I was to guess maybe doing a huge store update to allow things like refunds, getting games free without payment details, family sharing

Spoiler

this will be announced at E3, believe

, etc for 360 games? But I don't know if all that would warrant taking the whole XBL offline, it's just something I know a lot of people would want and would be a pretty big announcement I think

Or it could be nothing and I'm setting myself up for disappointment

They are taking down the OLD Xbox Live. Not the current one that Xbox and W10 runs on.
It's probably just maintainance, just like has happened in the past.

It is not going to make any difference to Xbox One.

Oh it's happened before ? Ignore me then, I've never saw XBL go down for maintenance in the past

 

[brokenbeans]

Sweet I can't wait to get another quality BC title today like Vampire Rain, who wants to play shitty Tales of Vesperia anyway?

 

[always crazy bacon]

Something happening, that's for sure. It's going to be something great for Xbox gamers.

 

[YuriLowell]

I thought they said no titles were coming today?

 

[jmdajr]

Rush N Attack! Come on make it happen!

 

[SlinginDub]

my guess is they are taking down xbox live so they can make it so you can use store credit to buy 360 titles.

 

[SlinginDub]

Cabela's Dangerous Hunts, Alaskan Adv, Hunting Expeditions & Survival SoK are coming to Xbox One Back Compat today


also dead space 2 and 3

 

[always crazy bacon]

No, they are adding MSX backwards compatability.
