I didn't even know that the Bullet Soul games existed! Is there any reason to have both or is Infinite Burst a "Director's Cut"-type upgrade?

From my understanding the Infinite Burst version is more like a "Director's/Extended Cut" or "Complete Edition" with all the DLC content. At least, that's what people on reddit are saying.
If you go to manage game, there may be some DLC you need to install under "ready to install"
According to XBLDB (which seems like they haven't updated in months) it's been on sale a few times, but it hasn't been on sale for a good while now.
I'm very happy Hard Corps was added. I bought it a while ago hoping it would get added. I'm not sure why I took that gamble, but I'm glad I did.
Never heard of Bullet Soul. I'm going to need to investigate, it appears...
We found it, but it was actually a little more complicated. It isn't under manage game to begin with. First you have to download it at the title screen in-game under DLC content and after doing that it appears under manage game, where it has to be downloaded again. I wonder how it's done if the online pass isn't free like with DS3, because the only way would be to buy it..
But thanks for the reply.
DS3 seems to run very well (mostly 30fps) and it's also pretty good. Expected the worst since it doesn't have the best reputation, but it works very well as an action game and the production values are quite high.
What is dead may never die.
Glad you figured out a way to get it working. Dammit that crap is soo tedious though. I had to do that in order to download all the cars for Forza Horizon which took forever because there's always like... a pause when dealing with the in-game shop stuff. Gears 2 and 3 too, but that stuff was less irritating because there was a lot less to "prime" for downloading.
Yeah, it takes a little while to learn where everything is located, but it's just such a marvel having all these games on XO. I keep being impressed that it works at all, considering it's two different systems only a generation apart.
And I'm so happy I chose to buy 99% of my multiplatform games on 360 last generation.

Does it piss off anyone else that MS is almost certainly holding back Crackdown so they can have a cheap win at E3?
"And we're pleased to announce that Crackdown and Crackdown 2 are backwards compatible on the Xbox One right now!"
Yeah great, assholes, but how about you just make them backwards compatible now, or better yet six months ago, instead of withholding them until they give maximum PR value?

Most Wanted: Gimme the rest of the 360 exclusive JRPGs so I can sell the 360. Thats all I want.
Nah. I understand completely if they want to use them as pre-order bonuses for Crackdown 3 or as a way to create a little awareness around the franchise. I'm ready to pre-order if the old games are part of the deal.

If this Resident Evil Code Veronica for PS4 is a PS2 to PS4 classic, than the game will probably be hitting Backwards Compatibility next week. Only reason I can see capcom going such a route on that console.

As long as they make Crackdown 1+2 release a decent amount of time before 3 comes out I'm ok with it.
Hate getting that sorta stuff on the same day... it's like, I wanna play the new one now not the old one, why didn't you give me this in the lead-up to make the wait easier? :|

How in the hell is Fable: Anniversary not on BC yet?
Hello Microsoft?
There really is no excuse for all first-party Microsoft games to not be on the service at this point, in my opinion.

They're saving it so they can give it away as a pre order bonus with Fable 4. Believe.

People will stop demanding for their titles if they're all available. I'm sure they want to steadily release them.
it was running on top of the original game. So, three layers may be rough.
Side note: Why is Deadly Premonition not BC?

I do remember on Facebook the development team saying the game wouldn't be backward compatible. Not sure if they were blabbering nonsense they actually had no idea about, or legitimately meant they weren't going to allow it (assuming that they have the authority to do so, not sure who owns the IP).

What are the odds of stuff like Strangkehokd or The Club?
Highly unlikely given they don't even have digital versions? Let alone what I assume are licensing nightmares?

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Not true. I'm desperate for them to do PGR3 and 4, but I don't think that will ever happen due to car and music licensing.
They said all first party titles would be coming to BC, but I guess the get-out on that is that Bizarre wasn't first party...
The Club is on Steam and it's a Sega game so it should make it. Don't know about Stranglehold.
I think it was Spencer who said that for games that don't have digital versions that they like to sort that out at the same time as making them BC. Sometimes that doesn't work out but the will from MS is there and most third parties are happy to oblige.

Vanilla Bullet Soul crashes as soon as you complete the true final boss on the second loop in B mode. It doesnt get past the end level score tally - goes to white screen and dashboards. You lose your level save for practice mode and no way to save your score.
They probably didnt have any testers crazy enough to 1cc the game. I tried it twice and I can confirm it - the first time I attempted to record a clip once I finished - and I thought the game dvr thing made it crash - the second time I didnt record anything and still the same crash. I hope they address this - but I can see something this obscure going by the wayside.

I think this is one of the threads people at MS keep an eye on. You can try tweeting @wcstillwell if you have Twitter too.

Who's ready for Resident Evil: Code Veronica tomorrow?
Stranglehold?
Lol you cant even download the available patch for the game anymore even though it prompts you every time you start it, I highly doubt it will ever see the light of day outside of generation 7.
You should spend more time in your life being happier and more content with what you have, instead of manufacturing arbitrary hypothetical scenarios to get pissed off at.

Last week I was browsing Netflix and saw Riddick, which remind me, I still have my copy of Dark Athena waiting to be played. It would be a good time to be added.

Probably not going to happen - I believe that Atari's rights ran out. (The game was removed from GOG a few months ago.)

I'm guessing Code Veronica since PS4 got t via PS2 classics last week

Pretty bad indication of BC - doesn't have anything to do with whatever MS is working on.

I hope the three saints row games go BC since they're like $2.50 this week.

Once again, there is very little correlation between the weekly sales and that weeks backwards compatibility announcements. By now it should be absolutely clear that publishers raise the price of backwards compatibility games and get additional sales. At this point in time I'd say the opposite was true for titles heavily discounted.

I'm kinda itching to replay OG Prey now. I hope they do a digital release/bc soon.

Come on MS, you know what really needs to be BC
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It's not amazing, completely different in almost every way to 2017 Prey. I'm not even entirely sure why they used the same name.

I'd like that! Been thinking about playing it recently as I started and never finished that HD version on my 360.
I could give you a few pairs of reasons why!Come on MS, you know what really needs to be BC
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But seriously I'd love DoA4 to be BC too!

I wonder if it's technically possible for DOA4 to be BC : it had untransferrable save files, and as a consequence couldn't support cloud saves.
