Is Fighting Vipes not showing up on people's Ready to Install list?

I bought it and on 360 it shows "play on Xbox One", but then n my Xbox One it doesn't show

It didn't show up on mine either but after a while a new button appeared that I hadn't seen before, called something like 'refresh ready to install page' and pressing that made FV appear.

Forget MW2

Spider-Man: Web of Shadows was added automatically to the XboxDVR site.

Is this a good sign of backwards compat? I beat it on Wii but sure wouldn't mind beating it on Xbox again.

Unless this another Deadpool/Castle of Illusion situation where Marvel steps in it seems unlikely. Acti doesn't have the Spider-man license anymore and the games they published have been delisted from digital storefronts.

Also, the XboxDVR website isn't affiliated with MS. I thought I saw someone source them earlier, a̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶ ̶p̶u̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶d̶a̶t̶a̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶M̶S̶ ̶s̶e̶r̶v̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶c̶h̶i̶e̶v̶e̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶c̶k̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶d̶o̶?̶? Edit nvm I saw on the last page that the data is added automatically. That's really interesting then, wonder if it could just be that they've been testing the game even if a release is unlikely.

Done my research on Fighting Vipers! genuinely never heard of it ha! I was fresh out of college and straight into full time work in '96 though (I believe this is when it was released) so my gaming life took a real hit

Always good to rediscover these lost gems that passed me by!

I hope Web Of Shadows happens. Not because it's a good game (it's not), but because maybe X-Men Origins Wolverine could also happen.

Since Rez Infinity is seemingly coming to PC, I imagine it will eventually hit Xbox One. Rez HD was a great version of it, but Infinity would be preferable to a BC version of HD.

Rez Infinite is nice and all, but without VR I don't think I'd class it as being worth an entirely new purchase over the XBLA version. It certainly shouldn't be someone's only option if they already own the XBLA game anyway.

Besides Area X, how improved are the graphics on Infinite?

Good thing I snagged Arkham Origins at GameStop yesterday when it was $9. Used copies are up to $19.99 BC tax now as expected! Haha

shit business practice I booked a copy to pick up and they want me to pay 20$ when I booked it when it was still 10$. I laughed and decided to just buy it new on amazon for that price

Playing through Arkham Origins again and loving every second of it. Here's a gif I made from my gameplay on xbox one.

Yep, happens every time a big disc based game is added. Takes them til the next day to adjust it though so I try and swoop in. Happened with Blue Dragon, RDR, ect

Actually, a question (even though I don't know who here knows this):

After picking up the MW collection digitally through my 360 the other day, I noticed upon navigating to the individual store pages for each of the games that it doesn't say that I own any of them digitally, when I obviously do.

What gives? Do I actually have these games? Do I have to wait until the collection itself is BC? I don't understand.

What games did you create? XBLIG was one of my favorite things about the 360 and one of the things I most hoped would go BC. I see that Bleed is getting ported. Hope some of the other XBLIG games get ported as well.
Click to expand...

You can see everything I created at yyrgames.com

I plan to eventually port everything to more modern platforms, including the new Creators program on Xbox One. Falling Plus is already out on PC and Mac, and Super Multitasking is coming to Steam very soon =)

And by the way I'm giving away a bunch of copies of Snake Party in this post.

It is worth mentioning that every XBLIG author got 50 free download codes for every game they ever published. We have no idea if they'll still work after the games are delisted next month; I'm going to operate under the assumption that they won't. So if you're interested in something and aren't sure whether you want to buy it, ask the author if they still have any download codes available. I feel like we have nothing to lose by giving them away at this point. So if you look at my site and want to try anything of mine, shoot me a PM =)

One thing that is pissing me off about BC is that I keep having to reset my Xbox One's updates because my 360 profile randomly cannot sign in to xbox live on the Xbox One console.

Microsoft really needs to fix this damn glitch!

Even switched my console to the US and the US store doesn't even have it there.

I searched on the US store and installed it. Switched back the AU region, uninstalled the game and it still doesn't appear in my Ready to Install list.

What the fuck is happening with this game?

of the 134 x360 games I own (per TA), 68 are BC. That's pretty damn good IMO. Almost exactly half.

Keep in mind that doesn't account for new or old GWG BC games that I haven't played yet, so it's actually more than that.

Huh, Epic Mickey 2 popped up for download. I have no recollection of purchasing it. Was it ever a GWG?

(Similarly I've got Faery: Legends of Avalon, and I don't recall buying that. It's entirely possible I'm just highly scatterbrained...)

Does anyone know if there is any way to get the One Million Batsuit for Batman Arkham Oranges, now that it's seemingly impossible to log into WBID?

Have you tried redownloading your gamertag from within the BC environment through the X360 guide?

Out of all the games digitally or on disc, I'm at 157 of 233, or 67%. And that includes original Xbox games as well. I know it'll sadly never be 100%, but I've been pretty lucky so far in what's been made available. Stoked!

Would love some old school vehicular combat. That game will never live up to Interstate '76, but I dig it for trying.

Hope we do get the wolverine game, I heard it was great. Was gonna get it on PS3 but if they add it to BC that'll be what I get.

It's almost like he knew everyone would check his twitter at Noon and that's pretty much exactly when he posted an external HDD Amazon link. Smart man. ha

That doesn't strike me as being all that clever, considering if he'd posted it at any point before then, everyone checking at that time would have still seen it.
