Support NeoGAF

[Conflict NZ]

Incredibly underwhelming. I was sure they would at least get half of the first page of most requested games. This wasn't the way to start.

 

[Steverulez]

Darn no Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, or Tales of Vesperia.

The first two were never going to be on the initial list as they haven't solved the dual disc issue, I'm not sure if ToV has more than one disc though

 

[WaltJay]

I didn't realize that disc-based games can be played on XBO too. For some reason, I thought it was digital games only. Now have some now-BC games from my 360 backlog that I can continue not to play, but it's nice to have the option.

 

[Lashley]

Nothing that interests me sadly

Disc-based games are still downloaded from XBL, but you have to use the disc as authentication.

 

[Karl2177]

They're coming... it's in the op

Let me rephrase. Wonder what the reasoning behind not being in the initial group.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Emulator is probably still under development for optimization

Yes, but you still need the disc to authenticate. Also, if you have a current save file, save it to the cloud on the Xbox 360 end so the Xbox one can pick it up.

 

[RBH]

Anyone else hoping for WWE All Stars in the future, like me?

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

All the Gears so I'm happy.

 

[Gorki247]

I've seen a few mentions here that Fable 3 has been announced. I know Fable 2 is amongst the first batch, but when was 3 confirmed?

 

[Ninhead]

I'd imagine that THQ stuff is gonna be really tricky.

 

[Seven4sses]

Looking forward to Ikaruga. Everything else I wanted will either be added later or never :/

 

[blame space]

So happy REZ is on the list!

...

 

[Eel O'Brian]

can't wait to do a deep dive into some putty squad

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Aw, man. No Burnout Revenge or NFS Most Wanted.

 

[Lambtron]

List isn't great, but Pac Man C.E., Ikaruga, Shadow Complex, and Super Meat Boy are all super awesome.

 

[like.a.ser]

Honestly nothing to be excited about here. My 360 lives on.

 

[VASPER]

Such a shit list

 

[| Praxis |]

Well that's not a very exciting list. Not one game on there I was hoping for.

 

[Benzychenz]

No Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon?

Could have been a very tempting proposal to pick up an Xbox One seeing I never had a 360, so unless Scalebound reviews at like 90+ I'll have to continue to pass.

 

[v0yce]

Ikaruga

Rez

 

[Zeta Oni]

I've seen a few mentions here that Fable 3 has been announced. I know Fable 2 is amongst the first batch, but when was 3 confirmed?

All MS first party 360 games are confirmed outside the ones that require external devices like the kinect if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Frog-fu]

What the hell is taking them so long with Fable Anniversary?

 

[HappehLemons]

Really holding out for the Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. Kind of sad to see all of the Sonic games there released as singles. Bad sign for seeing this one.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Have they said how often they plan on updating the list? That will be key on how comprehensive BC on Xbox One really is.

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

I hope Burnout Paradise is available next month, they said it would come didn't they?

 

[Conflict NZ]

Hopefully they put out 20ish titles a week instead of dumping a bunch once a month. I would love a regular "Backwards Compatibility Day" each week.

 

[Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule]

Damn i hate so much when indie games are listed.

 

[kingwingin]

Little number at dead island and dead space not being on that list. Bought them during the sale expecting to play them.

Hopefully the next wave of 100 doesn't take too long

Monthly updates

But the amount per update is up for a toss every month, as it's completely dependant on what the publishers will allow and then getting them through cert.

If I'm reading correctly, that is.

On one hand, that means we could see months that see few games released due to publishers wanting to hold off BC games for promotions and such. On the other we could see months where alot of games a dumped due to publishers deciding to upload their catalog at once.

It's simply gonna have to be seen for the next 2 or 3 months how consistant and substiantial the BC additions are.

Edit: For reference-

http://majornelson.com/2015/11/09/t...ackward-compatibility-games-is-now-available/ :

You can expect new Xbox One Backward Compatible games to be announced on a regular basis, starting in December. More titles are on the way, including fan favorites like Halo Reach, Halo Wars, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Bioshock, Bioshock 2, Bioshock Infinite and Skate 3. Stay tuned because this just the beginning of a long list of Xbox 360 games that will run on Xbox One.

http://www.windowscentral.com/exclusive-interview-xbox-one-platform-lead-mike-ybarra

We certainly want to have a regular cadence that we give updates for Xbox 360 titles. Our biggest obstacle there is working with publishers and getting their approval for the older titles. We continue to work on that right now, I would say, it varies in response across the publishers. Some are like "yep, let's go, rock n' roll" and others are a little bit more thoughtful about how they want to think about that. It's hard for us to promise, I'll just make something up, 20 titles a month from now on, because it really depends on the publisher enabling us to release those titles. Certainly we want to release a set of titles on a regular basis that customers are asking for, that can provide value to them.

 

[Shenmue]

The first two were never going to be on the initial list as they haven't solved the dual disc issue, I'm not sure if ToV has more than one disc though

Hopefully they figure it out later on down the road.

 

[C00kie M0nster]

I'm extremely interested to see if Nuts & Bolts framerate has improved since Rare Replay's launch. I hope they also fix the game breaking glitch in Banjo-Kazooie (Bottles' puzzles and notes disappearing).

Ikaruga! Someone over there likes me.

20 a month for a library with thousands of games and boasting about an emulator that is "basically plug and play" is incredibly disappointing. I would hope for that per week.

 

[jim2011]

I think some of the heavy hitters are going to be saved for games with gold, especially Red Dead Redemption. I also think a lot will be preorder incentives.

 

[jbug617]

I wonder if MS just has a bunch of titles already confirmed but they just spacing it out so they can keep the 100 titles per month thing.

 

[Steverulez]

He hasn't committed to 20 games a month, they haven't committed to anything.

They don't want to just chuck games on it, some games have had specific updates to make them run better, I'm sure they will keep working on the emulator.

They will space the games out for maximum PR, to keep the games flowing and to give them a chance to make sure everything works as they want it to.

 

[brandonh83]

Not bad. Was hoping for Symphony of the Night.

 

[UraMallas]

I don't care about BC, but for those who do, I imagine that's a pretty weak list.

I mean, it is weak in one sense that there aren't many heavy-hitters on it. But, in another sense, by my count I now have 76 new games I can play on my One.

 

[Navy Bean]

It's a decent list, but really it's up to the publishers. It's not like MS wouldn't love to have Red Dead, etc on there. And of course everyone has a particular list of games they'd love to see. I really only would want 2 games: Crackdown and Lost Odyssey.

 

[ViciousDS]

I want nier!!!!!!









And lost odyssey

 

[jrDev]

Um, where is the first Tomb Raider? The new one is releasing right now, wouldn't it be best to have the old one be compatible?

 

[KiraXD]

All i want is Rez. Probably the #1 game I replay, have it on Dreamcast, PS2 and Xbox 360.

could you imagine a PS4 re-release with Dualshock 4 speaker and lightbar support?! fuck i love Rez....

 

[Orca]

I wonder if we'll see more publisher support when there's a store on the Xbox One that they can use to directly sell to the customers.

 

[nded]

So, how long are we expecting them to keep adding to the compatibility list?

 

[RedEther]

Not a single Fighting Game.

 

[mrmickfran]

Sees Ikaruga, but no Radiant Silvergun.

Treasure, please stop ignoring this game.

 

[S0cc3rpunk]

no fifa street, halo reach and halo odst i want my firefight Microsoft

 

[Drago]

No Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon?

Could have been a very tempting proposal to pick up an Xbox One seeing I never had a 360, so unless Scalebound reviews at like 90+ I'll have to continue to pass.

Well it's not like they're never gonna get added. Hell I'm pretty sure Phil Spencer went on record saying they're aiming to get Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon BC as soon as possible.

I'm extremely interested to see if Nuts & Bolts framerate has improved since Rare Replay's launch. I hope they also fix the game breaking glitch in Banjo-Kazooie (Bottles' puzzles and notes disappearing).

Ditto, I really wanted to replay N&B on Rare Replay but the Showdown Town framerate was just too much of a turnoff. Desperately hoping they ironed those issues out.

As for the Bottles glitch, that's an issue with the game itself and not BC, at this point I don't see it ever getting fixed unfortunately.
