Xbox One adds Xbox 360 backwards compatibility

What I need is a tennis game! Its the only genre my mrs will play and with nothing on the radar native next gen a BC top spin or virtua tennis would be awesome
 
What do you mean by old?

When I initially asked the question, I was taking into acount the available information about the picture at the time, which for me was nothing, OP said Halo Reach and posted a picture.

They didn't say where it was from, other than it being an imgur hosted image. I naturally questioned the legitimacy of the picture, because the destiny image is different from my current 'ready to install' destiny image, which when uninstalled has defaulted to this image.

When reinstalled it becomes the taken King image, with update of course.

I know the UI like the back of my hand, I was just calling out the image, which I now know is on Xbox.com backward compatibility page and is a promo shot.

The new XB1 UI doesn't change the tile art when a game is installed, so Destiny wouldn't show the taken king art on the new UI whether or not the game is installed.

Doom had a re-release on XBLA to change the publisher from Activision to Bethesda.

Users that bought the early version can't play it on BC because Activision is not a "partner", meanwhile users who bought the Bethesda one can because Bethesda allows it.

That's total ass. I can't rebuy the Bethesda version either. I want Doom :(

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
I am still hoping that RDR does NOT get put on BC, but instead gets an HD remaster.

I know that is a selfish thing to say (especially in a BC thread), but after playing GTAV and enjoying the improvements, thats what I want for RDR.

If we could get both, then sure.

The games I'm most interested in getting BC, are first party titles and XBLA games that didn't release on PC. I would be super happy with the list below. I'm probably forgetting some, but I've forgotten how many games I purchased digitally through XBL.

Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Daytona USA
Turtles in Time Re-Shelled
Shadow Complex
Splosion Man
Halo Reach
Gears of War 2, 3 & Judgement
Ninja Gaiden II
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

FYI, hydro thunder hurricane is on pc, windows store only though I bought it.

That's a bug actually. They fixed it in a build a while back and it stuck for a while, but a couple of updates ago it regressed.

For anyone wondering here's a list of all games EvB has had his suspicions about/found store pages.



List of games I posted that a MS employee has been playing recently and I'm confident he's testing BC


If you remove duplicates you've got 90 games plus the 24 already in preview. That would give them over 100 games. Obviously not all of these will be available at launch (or maybe even ever be BC), but it's a fairly good list to go by.

There's also the Ubi sizzle reel


I'm also assuming the Gears collection will be there at launch for the UE deal which is missing from above. 125 games if you add everything together

Strange not to see Batman Origins

The SEGA Vintage Collections were all fucking amazing. You guys are seriously in for a treat if you haven't played them yet! I actually bought them all for full price... No regrets!

For those wondering:

SVC: Streets of Rage (SoR1/2/3)
SVC: Golden Axe (GA1/2/3)
SVC: Monster World (WB1,2,MW4)
SVC: Alex Kidd & co (AK, Super Hang-On, Revenge of Shinobi)
SVC: Toejam & Earl (TJ&E1,2)

Off the top of my head. Seriously good gaming here!

All done by M2. I still need to get TJ&E... but I'm not touching alex kidd and company.
 
uhh why?? The SHO port is amazing! I've put way more time into that than TJ&E!

I liked the themed sets better and those three don't really interest me....but I've been trying hard to NOT buy it. I might cave in.

I came back here and finally scroll up to see that SOR being available on the ONE is already mentioned. I'm installing it now.

Bought Dead Island Riptide as it's 80% off and on the rumoured BC list.

Dead Space 1 is 75% off but I don't see that listed as yet. Has anyone heard any rumours of any Dead Space games being added?

Deux Ex makes the list good, no PGR3/4 and Geometry Wars Retro Evolved 2 makes the list a dud.

We need to get Phil in here so he can explain these omissions!

I know the list isn't confirmed, I still want a refund!

So backward capability is starting? Even for people that are outside of the preview program?

November 12th for all Xbox One owners.

There's a lot of titles coming and a digital store with bundles, too. So expect to be able to get all the previous Assasssin's Creed games for example.
