Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Thread: Everyone wants it, no one uses it

Holy crap BO2 makes me feel old and slow... haha

When BO1 went BC I jumped back in and I've been doing pretty damn well, it feels good to be playing again.

I originally skipped BO2 on the 360 so it's all new to me and it just doesn't feel right?

TTK feels absurdly quick I can get shot with like a bullet and a half and die before I even have a chance to raise my gun.

Anyone else experiencing the same frustrations?

Right now i'm just trying out the pre-configured classes but the movement feels strangely slow esp the sprinting for some reason :/

Any tips anyone can give me?

Not to rag on the series too much but a lot of the MP when you play something like TDM is just run around, try to get off as many shots off and die, repeat. There's some advantage in learning the maps, probably as you do the above.

TTK is just too low for me to enjoy. Not just COD but most modern shooters. Not that it gets frustrating ever (because you'll eventually be rewarded for sheer persistence) but it generally turns encounters greatly in favour of who sees who first.

This has been the case since the beginning but up until COD4 there never was that drip feed of XP to get unlocks which I really hate.

How did Vanquish run on the 360, because after watching the GB play date of the PC version I'm thinking I'd rather just have an XBO version with 4K 60 fps

Don't know exactly when this happened, but at some point MS updated the My games tab on Xbox.com, so now it's easier to see which 360 games you own that are backwards compatible.

It's made it easier to spot which games I already own and hope go BC at some point:
After Burner Climax (probably never happening),
Bionic Commando: Rearmed,
Child of Eden,
Crackdown,
Crysis 2,
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (probably never happening),
Radiant Silvergun,
Rockstar Table Tennis,
X-MEN [The Arcade game] (probably never happening).

Most of the games I already own are BC already.

It was fine on last gen consoles but I would definitely take the latter. Native 4K would probably be too much (maybe 1800pCB?) but even just 1080p/60 would be a big upgrade.

They've always let you filter your BC games.

Is Child of Eden playable without Kinect? If not, it won't happen.

This is a great feature, though it's missing some titles - Puzzle Fighter HD, SuperStreetFighter2THD, and OutRun™ Online Arcade aren't showing up on my list, even though the individual store pages acknowledge that I own them (OutRun doesn't have a store page, I found it in my purchase history).

Yes, it is, but I would still count that game as a long-shot since it was so heavily tied to it and people would start wondering why the Kinect feature doesn't work.

It was teased at the E3 reveal of the BC program though, so I have a feeling its likely to come.

Splinter Cell Conviction and all 3 GRAW games are on sale this week. I hope that hints to today's announcement ( if any).

I'd be really nice if Fable Anniversary would be added soon. I just bought a digital copy from the Microsoft Publisher Sale and started playing it on my 360.

Went through my Xbox 360 this weekend and slowly (had 857 game folders on there) uploaded all my game saves that I cared about, so I'm ready for anything!

Hell, bring on Blacksite: Area 51 and Frontlines: Fuel of War!

I did it back when they enabled cloud saves on 360, took me a whole week to upload everything XD

At least it's paying off now, so nice to have a game added to BC you open it and your save is already there :p
 
Know your joking but I don't know why people keep thinking their going to announce BC games at E3. That would be both embarrassing and a waste of stage time.

They don't need to announce at stage (unless it's a every 360 game now is available on BC! and OG XBOX too! kinda of announcement), but they could make some announcements outside their conference but during E3 to get more media exposure, like for example releasing a bunch of games and getting the BC count to over 400 to have the press talking ob both the games and the new milestone.

I believe each year they always have one or two announcements that skip their presser and go straight to PR.

Crackdown was removed from the German index (that means MS paid for it and wants to let them check it's rating again, CD was never released in Germany). Possible BC release incoming? Or Bonus with CD3?
Same happened with Gears of War 1 a couple of years ago.

I could see them doing a bonus for Crackdown 3.

But I don't know who would play the game when he also got CD3 ;-)
 
Maybe E3 announcement trailer for CD3, along with a 'and you can go and download the original CD1 right now for free only on Xbox One while you wait for CD3 arriving later this year on Scorpio!'

Personally I want to revisit CD2 more, I love 1 but played so much of it already. 2 I've barely touched as it just felt like the exact same game and never really gave it much of a go as there were so many other games by then lol.
