The South Park game runs really great. Havent noticed any input lag there.
The emulation did some whacky stuff to Reach's rain. The particles don't splash
Odd... any other effects that are affected?
and the transparent cylinder around the camera that Bungie used to cheaply add background rain streaking, formerly a nice subtle effect, is now way too prominent and looks absolutely insane if you look up.
Think it might be another case of fine tuning to the 360's gamma?

even Splosion man seems chunky in the main menu. The game seems okay but i haven't played enough of it to really say that it's completely fine

I had hydro thunder crash on me after pressing start on the title screen.

Thank you for proper use of effect/affect!
Not that I've noticed thus far.
I'm not sure.
Seems like a number of transparencies are punched up, actually.
The blue dome around the spire is extremely bright now:
The green space tendril thingies are much less opaque on 360:
//=====================================
Also looks like there are some lighting quirks. The streaking light isn't supposed to cast on this door from this side:

Does Reach at least play OK?
Fortunately, we have a product for people who want to play the older batman games.
Coming soon. I hope

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
Im surprised people expected giant lists of games each month especially considering how small the initial list was...
What we got for December was smaller than I expected though.

You know what's amazing? We seriously went from saying backward compatibility with X360 was impossible on X1 just six months ago to complaining about it and how slow its support is growing after a month in wide deployment. What a time to be alive.

Be happy we got it at all.

This! Would I love a blanket all solution that didn't require publisher approval? Sure. But I'm gaining access to a lot of digital purchases that I had previously thought were left behind. Every month has a potential now to bring back more games I own. Color me extremely happy with this program.
I agree completely.
And with the community releasing updated rosters every year, the game can always stay relevant.

I'm with you on this.
Sure I want skate 3, red dead, tales etc but I'm also happy to wait and some games I want may not make it to BC and you know what if I'm that bothered about playing those titles why did I just give my 360 away?
If it happens iI happens! We are getting a good selection of games on a consistent basis and I thank MS for that.
Some excellent games were released just a few days ago and all people did was complain about the total number I'm sure that number could of been beefed up with vampire rain, raven squad and the like, but no keep those I'm good.

I'm with you all, I'm extremely happy for what we have got in just six months. Looking forward to further announcements too!

I mean given that (In theory) it all comes down to a simple yes/no from a Publisher I'm not sure why the list is being updated so slowly. It's just a simple yes/no process and yet games are being released so sparsely at a time.

I'm sure the legal stuff at each publisher takes a little time and effort (there could be licensed music or brand names that have expired for instance), not just a yes on Skype from the guy that makes spelling mistakes on Capcom's cover art division.
Plus there's probably quite a bit of testing to be done on multiple consoles at MS before release.
Considering many AAA have performance problems and Microsoft is relasing several patches (for instance in the case of Gears 3) I think they really have to optimize their emulator for each game and test this.
So yes it´s probably a simple yes from the publisher but at Microsoft there is work to be done to get the game running smoothly.
I think most of us forgot how Reach run on the 360, has anyone seen the frame rate comparison, a couple of frames down and sometimes higher on XB1 but mainly a couple of frames down or the same. Definitely room for improvement but not as bad as i was expecting and still very playable for me and still a great game imo.

No way. I play the game every day on 360 (as of late anyway) and it holds or gets close to 30. Watching some videos on youtube made it look like it was in the low 20s.

The games have to be re-packaged for download on the X1, which probably (I don't exactly have the legal agreements, so this is just a guess) means it's technically a new form of distribution that wasn't covered in the original contracts, which is why the publisher's OK is required (and which might, on the publisher's end, involve renewing/updating any agreements they had for stuff they're using under license, depending on the exact wording of whatever contracts they had).

It drops to low 20's on 360, not fully watched video just skipped through to be honest but it don't run anywhere near a solid 30 on 360

I do admit I've only put in a small amount of time in the campaign since release - though I swear it doesn't feel that bad in the multiplayer. I guess I can't really judge unless I play it on the Xbone though a friend says he definitely thinks it's way worse on Xbox One.
If it continues to happen I find that deleting and redownloading works quite well.
They have updated the emulator on Gear of War games and Mass effect.I hope we get updates on the emulator they use. I get some pretty bad slow down on Reach.
With Mass Effect they improved the frame rate slightly (but its still a sluggish mess).
With Gears they improved the frame-rate and input lag.
I expect they will update Reach when improvements are made.
I expect this is also the reason why a large amount of titles arent B/C yet, The Emulator isn't complete.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Splosion Man runs like shit once you're fast the first two levels. Like unbelievably bad in a game where you need to time your explosions correctly. It's basically unplayable.
Reach is unplayable online... Why MS?
I've had a few decent games with no problems
I am so dissapointed with all the remarks in this thread about glitches, changes to graphics, glitches, etc. Wow.
Now I will not be likely to play anything serious with this because in the back of my mind I will always be wondering if the game will play as intended.
Has anybody tried any of the Sega game collections? I'd love to be able to play those again on my Xbox one!

To me it's a F-ing joke, literally unplayable (10-15 fps max).
I wanted to capture some gameplay but for some reasons it doesn't shows up.

I've played a ton of the Streets of Rage collection and they run fantastic! I just love those games so much!

apparently the sega vintage collection suffers from input lag too. (sonic3)
