Phil, I am disappoint.

Well, there is one more day

 

[Steverulez]

Well, there is one more day

Good luck with that!

XboxP3: @CorpRoberts I talked to team, they aren't ready to talk yet. Sorry I set expectation so I'll want until I know they have their news ready.

Well, at least he's trying to keep us in the loop. Unfortunately, that means having to deal with changes in plans
As an aside, what a time we live in where a corporate exec is directly communicating and even apologizing to his company's fans.

I agree, although I think he would have been much better served to say there is news coming soon or something than to have to keep apologising for them moving it back

How is the framerate for Red Dead Redemption on BC?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

How is the framerate for Red Dead Redemption on BC?

Perfect. It hasn't lost a single frame

 

[BeforeU]

How is the framerate for Red Dead Redemption on BC?

what? when did RDR became backward compatible? :O

 

[pizzacat]

How is the framerate for Red Dead Redemption on BC?

I think it's actually improved

 

[CalamityPixel]

How is the framerate for Red Dead Redemption on BC?

It hasn't dropped any frames at all.

Edit* damn beaten

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

There wont be any news this week either... he told someone on twitter.

 

[Chris1]

Shame there won't be any news this week either. I guess that means this BC update will be a big one then?

I think it's actually improved

Is it just me or does it feel super buttery smooth? felt like a locked 60fps on BC. MS done some wizardry shit on that game.

They even packed in some higher resolution textures and upped the resolution to 1080p.

It's the new BC secret sauce. Every game gets upgraded to 1080p/60fps with improved textures.

This is the way RDR should be played.

Have I missed something?

 

[UraMallas]

Have I missed something?

There must be some kind of joke. Red Dead is not BC.

I guess technically the answer would be zero.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Is Dust coming to BC?

 

[Syriel]

Is Dust coming to BC?

And now, no dev will ever post in this thread again unless making an announcement.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I guess technically the answer would be zero.

Dust.....BC

Pretty please???

For a game like Arkham Origins, since the campaign is only on the first disc and two-disc games aren't compatible in the foreseeable future, would they put the game on the list?

Arkham Origins isn't even available digitally, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Noooo, I just bought it for 96 cents, this shatters my dreams. Ah well, I can always switch out HDMI's and play it on 360. I didn't know it was unavailable digitally, that's odd. Is it because of the two discs that they never put the game up?

I'm honestly not sure. There are some two-disc games that are available to purchase digitally.

I hate how Rare X360 games show up twice for me because I own Rare Replay.

Halo 4 is 2 disc and also digital. They'll find a way for 2 disc games to happen.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Halo 4 is 2 disc and also digital. They'll find a way for 2 disc games to happen.

Halo 4 isn't really "2-disc" though. It was technically programmed as a one-disc game with the second disc content being packaged as "free DLC" that happens to be distributed on a second disc. That means it's very easy to distribute as they can just bundle in the "free DLC" like they did with Gears of War.

I have no idea how Arkham Origins is setup, but most two-disc games (particularly older ones) are two completely distinct executables that happen to access the same save data, which makes them very, very different from Halo 4 technically speaking.

Arkham Origins is set up as first disc single player, second disc multiplayer. So my thought is that since I really doubt the multiplayer is still booming, they might just make the first disc BC until they figure out the two disc BC problems. Hopefully....though who knows.

you can hide games off the download list, iirc

 

[im_dany]

I'm honestly not sure. There are some two-disc games that are available to purchase digitally.

That's because they adapted the game to work as a single-disc game with additional free DLC: Rockstar did this to every release (GTA5, Max Payne 3, LA Noire).
For example EA never did that for their games (Dead Space 2-3, Mass Effect 2-3, Battlefield 3-4 and probably more) so they're not available for digital purchase.
Square didn't for FF13, but they did it for FF13-2. I heard between those two releases MS released some tools for adapting multi-discs games but I'm not sure this is true, but that would explain why FF13 is not available for digital purchase but the sequel is.

 

[ekim]

Good luck with that!

Oh well... meh.

Press menu with one of them selected in the ready to install area. Then hide it. To unhide games temporarily press uhm lt rt y or something.

 

[drotahorror]

Nevermind. I see the tweet. Such a tease, for nearly 2 weeks too.

 

[oatmeal]

This thread hurt my feelings

 

[DeathGlobe]

Shit I am more concerned whether or not we will see the new UI update sept 1 that was mentioned

 

[sangreal]

wait, did they say sept 1 or sept update? I thought it was the latter

I thought they said it was a date they would try to shoot for but I could of mistaken it for early September but hey it would be a nice surprise

 

[Steverulez]

Im pretty sure they didn't commit to September 1st

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Added it to the OT, as a reminder to people, is over here if we want to ramp up discussion there

 

[JohnnyFootball]

The first game I'm gonna play on BC is Dark Souls!

 

[Chitown B]

I thought "all future GWG titles will be BC"? The one for early Sept isn't.

From when BC launches, which is November

Eidos Montreal were hinting at Deus Ex HR being BC... good, good.

This is silly. They said all it takes is approval, and they have that.

 

[solidsnakeiv]

Hey guys prolly a dumb question, but I accidentally deleted shadow complex off my xbone, how do I get it back, since it's not in the live store.

It should be on your Ready to Install list to the right of your Games list.

Go to "My games and apps" and scroll all the way to the right

 

[Steverulez]

This is silly. They said all it takes is approval, and they have that.

Titles have different publishers with different goals and they have to test each title and make sure each game works as expected, based on that they are not going to commit to anything they don't have approval for. Making a sweeping statement is only going to get them in trouble.

Phil has mentioned past GwG titles, I am sure he will be working to get them on it but guaranteeing all of them is probably not something MS can do as it is.

 

[im_dany]

They better fix the GonD version then, since they never updated it to Director's Cut or released a DLC to play the enhanced version.
