X1 BC section up on Xbox Uservoice [user voting, can vote for more than one]

Bit silly that we have to vote though. Just do them all, damn it. Having it be a selection kind of neuters my hype for BC.

That would imply they have a 100% compatible 360 emulator at their disposal, which I doubt.

It's probably like PS2 Classics on PS3 where each single game will require individual patches and fixes in order to run at all.
 
Voted Losty Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Tales of Vesperia, Vanquish, Virtua Fighter 5: FS, SFIII: 3rd Strike, a bunch of KOFs, Mark of The Wolves and some others here and there.

LO and BD better make it. Go go go guys!

Yeah they'll tweak the emulator if issues appear with any particular title (everything gets run through a QA test), here's what Phil Spencer said on Giant Bomb:
The new leadership team made the decision to invest in backwards compatibility about a year ago, they emulate the full 360 hardware level and it's running the OS, frame by frame performance, Xbox Live thinks you're on 360 so you can play with people who are on 360, Xbox One sees it as an Xbox One game so that's why Xbox One features work too, emulator runs exactly the same for all games unlike original Xbox emulation on 360 where emulation didn't scale well and they had to 'shim' on a title by title basis, emulator will be tweaked if any issues are found as they bring more games over, for 3rd party games they just need permission from publisher and then they'll run them through a QA test, Kinect games won't work, currently figuring out how to do multi-disc games.

All the GwG titles should be included here. Gives us chance to play some of the greatness we're currently missing out on. Also, we need all the Gears, Halo, etc.
 
Guys, don't waste votes on Microsoft stuff like Forza, Lost Odyssey, and so forth. Those titles are gonna be in, they require zero publisher approval! You can also avoid voting for the most popular titles, those also have a high chance of getting in.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is pretty low on the list. Heard it isn't actually half-bad but never played my copy; the game should get a GAF bump.

Red Dead Redemption got a big boost! Finally PC users will be able to taste the sweet wild west. By playing a 360 game through the Xbox One streaming obviously... Can't wait to return.
 
I don't know what to say, but that first page list is too perfect. Great job guys. The only think I feel like its missing from there is Orange Box and Portal 2
 
No entry for Deadpool at all. Alas. . .

edit: licensing strikes.

Wonder if this is why Dance Central isn't listed either.

I would like to see a statement from Microsoft about games that won't be joining the program due to licensing issues.

I'm tempted to make a thread gathering statements from companies about thei games not joining the BC program for any particular reason, though it may be imprudent before the formal launch. Some attorneys might look over the old paperwork and decide it's cool, such as how Nintendo still sells Wiiware and VC in Wii mode on the Wii U.
 
I'm guessing third parties that have or will create remasters will not agree for their games to be backwards compatible.

Kinect games won't be listed. New kinect is pretty different from the old one (faster, higher resolution, some stuff done onboard) so they probably can't emulate the 360 kinect well.
