How's the user notified about the latter?
You'll see it in your ready to install menu.
Ah, of course. That makes sense; I was still thinking from the 360 mindset of "You have to dig the game out from the catalogue to redownload it"

I gave 2033 a good 3 hours but I couldn't get into it.
Yeh I thought that was a bit silly of them. They should have had Metro Last Light next month or something, having two games in the same franchise is shitty, if you don't like it then, well you're shit outta luck for the whole month.
Each month should have two games from different genres so there's a higher chance of it appealing to people IMO.

I honestly think that since Microsoft know lots of people want Ryse on GWG, they will refuse to put it on it for until another like 6 months. They know a good chunk of people will get sick of waiting for it on GWG and just buy it.

They only promised that would happen when the feature goes fully live, so they might not be at this stage.
I believe that one of the two will be new, as in the last few months.
Lococycle is a good guess.

Nope. From here on out.
Normally, I give games a little more time to get an impression, but I just couldn't do it for Metro.
But I don't want to complain too much, because they are free anyways.
Agreed.

Pretty sure they stated that anything released from the date of the announcement will be compatible.

The website says -
"When backward compatibility launches in November, all future Xbox 360 Games with Gold titles will be playable on Xbox One. That means Xbox Live Gold members now will get more free games to play each month on Xbox One"
If there's been a specific announcement for Preview Members stating differently, then great.

Nope, just going from the way they phrased it during the on-stage announcement and GAF's reactions at the time. The way they stated it on stage made it seem like every 360 title from then on was backwards compatible. My mistake, haven't really kept up.
Edit: as the post above shows, it's a little confusing.
I believe in the speech at Gamescon it sounded like "from now on", and the official press release said November.
It´s possible that they only write November because technically we cannot play the titles at the moment but will can in November.
We will see.
EDIT => @Family Fry: That´s what I meant

I've sent out some tweets asking the question directly. If I get a definitive answer I'll post back.

I made the mistake of starting How to Survive the other night while waiting for something else to download, and now I feel like I need to finish it.
I hate it, though.
Is it always this boring/bad?
Edit: I'm kicking myself a bit for forgetting about Metro 2033, because I did like that game a lot when I played through it at launch. But I'd much rather replay it on next-gen.

I'm getting more supplies/getting better before tackling the third island, because the game says I'm underleveled.

Yea I think it's next month onwards they will be BC, maybe even this month (Technically Last Light is a future GWG, it was just announced before). Everyone thinks thats the case, if it wasn't I would think Phil or someone would correct people.
The website either says November because that's when BC officially launches or because the games won't be available until then.

I sent -
"@XboxSupport I'm on the Xbox One preview program, will i get backwards compatible GWG 360 games starting Sept, or not until Nov? Thanks."
I got back -
"@FastestfingerX The games will start in November, for more about this program check out the info here: http://t.co/CPTs8Z38LT ^JR"

So, either what was suggested on stage was ambiguous/misleading, or people even within MS don't fully understand what's going on.
Either way, it's no surprise gamers are confused.
For the record, I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I'd be glad of BC games next month, but I'm not holding my breath.

Unrelated to the news, but I wish they would stop using the "greatest games lineup in Xbox history" sentence so much. Even if they have arguments to back it up, repeating it over and over feels so forced. If you're confident it's "the greatest lineup...", just let your consumers make that statement by themselves.

Got a feeling this will be next months GWG. Release date is 1st September for XB1.

Wth! I was expecting some BC GWG in September. This is a real piss off!
Looks pretty cool. I hadn't heard of it before.
Oh cool, never heard of this till now. Really digging the graphics. It's old school but not pretending to be made 20 years ago, just a throw back. That and I like deer.
This looks pretty cool, I think I'll pick It up even if it doesn't turn out to be one of next month's GWG. Although, I hope it isn't too dear...
Game looks dope.

Deer game looks good, I agree with the comments about it not trying to pretend it's old, just a good throwback.
All I know is I absolutely love How to Survive. It's so good!

Ahhh well I back this on kickstarter so I already have the PC version. I assumed I would get a code for the console version as well but this is fine either way.

I could be wrong but I think it was GWG that actually started that.
So Many Me, Massive Chalice, Pool Nation FX, #IDARB, Volgarr the viking, Chariot, Guacamelee have all been GWG on release. Guacamelee was the first on the second month of GWG on the XB1 (Last July)
Looks cool until I saw that it was procedurally generated. I much prefer hand crafted levels over RNG ones.
Come on MS, we can't wait that long.

It's been extremely common for both systems since the inception of the programs on the Xbox One and PS4.

I always thought Castle Crashers Remastered would be a GwG release... I guess we will see soon enough if I was right.

The Deer God actually looks like a cool game. I wouldn't be unhappy with that as the halfway point GwG game.
I just finished the game a few days back, it is very good! Some parts of it are a little janky or not as well made, but the core game was awesome. I'd be okay with being GwG, more people should play it!
