Ah, that's what it was. I totally forgot about the Point system.

Guys I have a question regarding Fallout 3 on Xbox One
I have 16 hours (only) in FO3 for the PS3 - basically did the Super Mart and Megaton; arrived in Tenpenny Tower only.
Now I can forfeit them because I just got FO4 on the Xbox One with a FO3 code. 16 hours is no biggie I will re-do it in the Xbone version.
QUESTION:
- is FO3 on Xbox One perfectly playable start to finish? Anyone here completed it from scratch? From start to end boss? Asking because I do not want to spend 40 hours on it and face some game stopping bug exclusive to the BC version...

I haven't played FO3 on X1 (Fallout: NV runs nicely on X1 though) but if the PS3 version is your point of reference, it's hardly going to be worse, is it?

Yeah but I am asking not about res or framerate or loading times as I was ok with them being garbage on PS3 but about the ability to finish this game w/o any strange, Xbox One BC specific bugs.
Just asking if anybody here played it on XO and finished successfully.
From what I know: There is not a single bc bug caused by the emulation.

Aegis Wing also received an update.
With these two getting updates, of the 51 backwards compatible games I have installed, 45 have received updates in the last two-and-a-half months. The remaining 6 haven't been updated since January and include Assassin's Creed II, Halo Reach, and all four Gears of War games. I imagine it shouldn't be too much longer before those are updated as well.
Also, interestingly Mass Effect is showing the same version number it had prior to the update: 1.0.1511.42016. Anyone else have the same (or at least some sub-version of 1.0.1511.x)?

Yeah, 75% off.
Surely it must be close...

Haven't actually played it but will probably buy due to the gaf-hype.
Probably as close as it was 3 months ago when it was 75% off then...
I think that it was on sale three times since backwards compatibility.

Yep. I wish MS would just come out and say which BC titles have been canceled due to publishers choosing to remaster.

D'oh and I just replayed it on PC along with the first one and its expansion! CoD 2 still looks great. If I still had my 360 disc I'd be all over the MP again except I'm on away on holiday for a few weeks!

If they add CoD Classis I'll buy it (when its on sale)
Nice! I never played CoD2 so I'll be all over this.

Still have cod2 so that's nice. Hopefully the mp will be active for a little bit.
Damn it. I wish I still owned the disc.
My first WWII shooter and still one of my favorite COD titles.

This is funny. Only around a month go I wanted to buy cod 2 to replay it but only have my X1 at my own house.
Please tell me the digital version is cheap or at least on sale or something? Dying to play Cod 2, amazing campaign

Going to dust off CoD2 and play that again. I'm excited to play this again. I remember it being the first 360 game I played at the store.
Still $20.
I was pulling info from the Xbox API re BC, but MS closed it with the OS update.
It's 11 years old, so great to see it in BC and forward compat to Xbox One S and Scorpion.

Tell us how the multi is. At this stage I'm prepared to quadruple dip on this if people are still playing in big numbers in two weeks time.

Yes MS....more old shooters. That's exactly what we needed. These guys went full Nintendo with the BC.

Holy fuck.
I remember winning that console like it was yesterday. I received it a week early. Then I remember lining up for some launch games at Dufferin Mall EB in Toronto. Crazy times.

COD2 on 360 is one of the few games I've "platinumed" so I wouldn't mind playing it again.

COD2 the 🐐
Loved that game and remember playing the demo before the 360 released, time fucking flies @_@
Now I want to pick up the one S to play COD2 in my living room

You'll get nothing for months on end and when you're about to give up hope they'll drop Lost Odyssey, in 2018. Much like Nintendo did with Super Mario RPG on Wii U.

"If they're not releasing exactly what I want, they're shit."
Emulating 360 games on Xbox One is a liiiiitle more involved than Virtual Console games.

Not sure what's taking so long with Lost Odyssey. Microsoft owned and they've already figured multi-disc out.
C'mon =/
It might be an issue of playing it long enough to test things out.

Having multi-disc games worked out doesn't mean this particularly game is ready to ship without any emulation issues. It's quite possible more work needs to be done. Plus, every game needs to pass fairly significant testing, and their bandwidth for that is only so wide.

Most X360 games are not native 1080p and run at sub 1080p and even sub 720p. The emulator runs the game in it's native resolution and then uses the scaler chip just like the X360 does to output the chosen resolution in settings. I don't see us getting any X360 back compat games at true 1080p, at least not until Project Scorpio arrives. For now I think the games look fine upscaled to 1080p on my phat X1 and 4K on X1S.
