Free? lol

Guys, if you haven't played Lost Odyssey, jump on this like a starving tiger.

Does BC on X1 make the performance better? I know it does for some games, but I'm not aware of LO's case.

 

[Dimmle]

Can't play them on PC . If you have a 360 though it will work there too

Ack, that won't work. I missed out on LO the first time around because I never adopted 360. Oh well, I can wait... another ten years...

 

[Giftofgab24]

So so so

I've wanted to play Lost Odyssey forever but I don't have an Xbox One. Are their digital releases compatible with the Play Anywhere initiative (i.e. PC?)? I'm out of luck, aren't I?

Gotta be on an Xbox 360 or Xbox one. For now. I have a feeling that the emulator will make it to Windows 10 eventually.

 

[sora87]

Yo this better be some viral marketing scheme to get people hyped about Lost Odyssey 2

 

[The Elite]

Wait, so LO works on the One digitally now?

Yes.

 

[brawly]

Based Phil. I'll gladly try out LO.

 

[Sydle]

Love this! They should just put it in GWG though so more people see it.

lol best not to get your hopes up.

 

[Zedox]

Now give me Eternal Sonata...I never finished that game. GIMMIE! BC hittin out of the park. I'm waiting for the megaton of OG Xbox emulation...and KOTOR...while announcing a new KOTOR.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yeah, that seems pretty clear lol.

Are there any visual glitches/missing effects resulting from the BC, though?

Nothing serious or even noticeable.

 

[Wizz-Art]

Thanks MS!

Grab it now anyway. That way if you ever do get an 360 or Xbox One, it'll be there waiting for you.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Holy shit at Lost Odyssey being free.

 

[Erekiddo]

If I put a credit card on file to get this (it's asking me to), I don't get looped in to automatic Xbox Live renewals, do I? Currently silver.

 

[ViolentP]

It didn't exist digitally until today, but yes

Good news indeed. Thanks.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Is Tales of Vesperia available and supported by BC yet? That's the last one I need before I'm totally sold.

 

[Bsigg12]

Hell. Yes.

For real this time.

Nope.

SIGNIFICANTLY, yes. Improved performance, much faster loading, better framerates, less screen-tearing, no disc-swapping.

Best way to play it.

 

[Theorry]

[Phoenixus]

Thanks for the heads up OP, wanted to try out Lost Odyssey for a while now.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

What Garlador said! Everyone should grab it just in case. It will be waiting in your download history if you ever get a 360 or XB1 (or Scorpio)

 

[lightskintwin]

Or even a Scorpio.

 

[VariantX]

Fuck yes. Will dust off the 360 slim and play it this weekend!

Don't get my hopes up, KOTOR b/c would be AMAZING.

 

[cbrun44]

So awesome! Favorite game of that generation maybe all time.

Don't yet have a XboxOne but this is definitely pushing me in the direction.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Hope I get the chance to play it, but I picked it up. Can't beat free.

 

[masterkajo]

I don't like to add a credit card just to get free stuff. I wanted to get it but I won't add my credit card info there just to get it for free. Stupid to add payment options if it is free.

 

[Kookos]

Holy fuck. I mean, I own Lost Odyssey and all, but this is still pretty damn cool!

 

[Samurai G0SU]

WOW

Thank you so much MS! i never got to finish Lost Odyssey! Now i can! (with little time i have these days) haha

YESSS!!!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

It wants only cc.

A number of prepaid debit cards work with the bare minimum balance, too.

 

[jond76]

I don't even if I'll play these but I'll definitely gran em!

 

[Erekiddo]

I put on a card that's expiring this month.

That'll do.

 

[jelly]

Thank you Santa Phil.

That mean more multi disc games, sweet. Splinter Cell Blacklist....

 

[intheinbetween]

Based MS, Christmas is 1 week earlier this year!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Got LO on my 360 and am currently downloading! 16GB though, wow.

Would've preferred Blue Dragon being the freebie personally, but oh well!

 

[barneystuta83]

But no one uses Backward Compatibility, do they?

 

[LNBL]

Got LO on my 360 and am currently downloading! 16GB though, wow.

You mean 22.43 gb

 

[ironcreed]

No, because you are not subscribing to Gold. It's for a free game and you will be charged nothing. And after you get the game, you can just remove the card.

PayPal works too.

 

[SenseiAsad]

Interesting that there's a news article for it too...Lost Odyssey 2 incoming. Let me believe.

 

[zewone]

The real Final Fantasy starts now.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

22.4 GB on XB1 :s



Going to buy the two DLC packs to show my love

 

[rrc1594]

The real Final Fantasy starts now.

 

[Intel_89]

Great move MS, I wish I had an X1 to play LO.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wow, awesome. Never got around to playing this last gen. Almost bit on a $10 copy last week but the backlog struggles are real. Gonna download this now though.

 

[Megauap]

But only 50% of XO players play backwards compatible titles, don't they?

FTFY

 

[Tagyhag]

So cool, I've been wanting to try LO but the physical price for used is still a bit high.

Blue Dragon is a bit higher but hopefully with DD out now the physical version will go lower or I can just get the game on sale down the line.

 

[Azzawon]

Got the disc(s) on my shelf but holy shit, Christmas has come early. Everyone needs to get this.

 

[jax]

Blue Dragon is a game I've always wanted to play, really stoked to pick this up on X1.

I bought Lost Odyssey when it came out and the game was too long, the game dragged so hard. Just words on words on words on words. Never got past the first disc.

 

[ohlawd]

my winter break just became amazing. just three more days of finals and two days of work after then I'm free. thanks, MS!

 

[pswii60]

When did MS become so generous?
