The original version is the best version, but this live performance of Deadman's Gun is great.


BTW, for any of you first timers, I recommend you don't listen to the song prior to finishing the game. It's a gem best discovered in the credits.

 

[purg3]

Really looking forward to finishing this game--only played a few hours of it when it first came out.

 

[Bandit1]

I think the fact that we have a backwards compatibility OT for a 6 year old game should be justification for said game to be remastered.

 

[Kastrioti]

Only played a few hours of it on PS3 a little after it came out and really enjoyed what I played but did not have time. Loved the little I played of it though so I can't wait to pick it up.

Backwards Compatibility FTW

 

[ROUGE_BLOCK]

Damn, I literally just beat this game on the 360. Oh well time to load undead nightmare again

 

[Lebron]

Peak Rockstar for me.

 

[ramuh]

Time to get fucked up by a bobcat!

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Well I'll play it for 7 so you gotta play for 3 instead.

Goddammit.

Done

 

[Hawk269]

I had a lot going on when this game first came out and only spent about 8 hours with it and then ended moving onto other games. So I am looking forward to this. When it was playable earlier in the year due to that bug I was really enjoying what I played, so looking forward to it. I also bought the undead add-on and all the free add-on's they have on xbox.com right now. Ready to go. Only negative is that I am leaving for a 10 days on vacation Sunday, so will only have Friday/Saturday to play until I get back, but just glad it finally was approved and released.

Now give me Lost Odyssey, PGR 3 & 4, Blue Dragon and Mass Effect 2 & 3 and I will be set as far as BC.

 

[psychotron]

Can't wait. Have it loaded and waiting!

It's sometimes hard to believe the game is six years old. Those shadows...

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

In!

 

[neurophd]

Great work Flash...so ready!

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

I can't wait...I probably won't have much time for it this weekend but I bought it for when I do. I've only ever really played a few hours of it.

 

[Art Vandilay]

I got this game at its midnight release over 6 years ago when I was still in undergrad. I played until at least 4 in the morning. If this game releases at midnight I'm going to do it again. It's so awesome we get to experience this game again.

 

[EroticSushi]

Is there a way to download it now? Saw someone mention some method in the other thread.

EDIT: Nevermind found it.

 

[rainz]

I have somehow managed to never so much as play this game even though i bought it for my cousins as a gift years ago...

This seems like as good a time as any for a first playthrough!

 

[Megasoum]

The Polygon mini documentary about the John Marston voice actor is great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NuYx8oP_S8

I get goosebumps just hearing his voice lol.

 

[Tohsaka]

Game is great, I envy those playing it for the first time now.

 

[Falchion]

Going to be listening to the soundtrack at work all tomorrow to get myself in the mood.

First time I've seen this.


Feels incredibly weird to see this dude's face after all these years.

 

[TheLegendary]

Any ideas on when exactly this'll be available?

I bet 9 PST

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

How is the performance? I never did beat Undead Nightmare because it was terrible there.

 

[More_Badass]

How does getting backwards compatability work? Need to buy the 360 game off the Xbox Store?

 

[Montresor]

Man BC is one of the best parts of Xbox this gen. Past Microsoft never would've done this. Glad they did this gen though!

Thanks for the OT, OP.

What other games do y'all think would be popular enough to warrant an OT? So far it's just been this and Black Ops right?

It was going to be Bioshock before the collection was announced

Buy it through website store, console store, or disc

If you want it digital buy it from the 360, xb1 store or Webstore. If you have the disc just put it in.

Put the 360 disc into the Xbox One?

Can't echo this enough.

Black Ops is already BC

should be noted that this is pre-release

Put the 360 disc into the Xbox One?

Yes

360 discs work on Xbox One for BC titles

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Put the 360 disc into the Xbox One?

Yep, put the 360 disc into the Xbone and it'll prompt you to download the game. Once that's done then you're good to go, as long as you have the disc in for authentication.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Flash, the original release date was May, not June.


Also, best game ever made bar none.

Turns out my brother sold the disc a while ago, thought we still had it

So just buy this? Never really paid attention to BC, but RDR is a special case

How bad is this for an 11 yr old?

 

[etta]

Call of Duty: Black Ops and Red Dead Redemption are probably the biggest. Maybe if Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops 2 also release on BC, but I doubt it since if Modern Warfare Remastered is popular, Activision will probably remake the others to sell instead.

Yup buy the digital version on the 360 store and it will show up in your "Ready to Install" on the XB1 tomorrow.

 

[ProvenDeadly]

It's so far away

 

[Vire]

How bad is this for an 11 yr old?

I absolutely wouldn't let my theoretical 11 year old play this game. Then again, I played Mortal Kombat as a kid and I turned out okay I guess.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Well, it's not quite as bad as GTA. Does the 11 year old play GTA?

 

[MMarston]

I'd say the kid would run a high risk of being a fedora tipper when he enters high school though.

 

[More_Badass]

And RDR is mine again. I should probably watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly again tonight

 

[ahoyle77]

Well, it's not quite as bad as GTA. Does the 11 year old play GTA?

Absolutely not. Hes played Halo and the like...but not anything close to GTA. Seems like a pass for us until the remake or something. Looks fun, but I would never have time if he couldnt play it.

 

[neurophd]

How bad is this for an 11 yr old?

This is me and my son 6 years ago.

I am excited to share the game with him now. I plan to let him mess around in the open world, supervised. The campaign is rough, so depends on your parenting philosophy.
