Thank God the BioShock games made it.
Major Nelson said:Borderlands will be supported on Xbox One Backward Compatibility when it launches publicly this November and is available in Preview today, expanding the growing library of Xbox 360 titles available on Xbox One and joining the greatest games lineup in Xbox history. http://majornelson.com/2015/09/03/borderlands-coming-to-xbox-one-backward-compatibility
Borderlands is now available for backwards compatibility for preview members.
REALLY interested to see how they optimize this what with the mandatory Vsync.... OG game tore quite a lot, even on Xbox360
I'll have to find my disc when I get home!
I should have done that...so much more convenient. I'm starting from scratch also though since I deleted all my 360 save files a couple years backDownloaded it a few weeks ago when it was in the sale and started from scratch with a cloud save so I'm all set!

Might be worth adding that you can't use screenshots/recording features on BL1 due to licensing issues?

Don't expect miracles.Really hoping they can use some of the Xbox One's power to smooth out some of the better last gen games with performance issues.
Assassin's Creed 3 or Far Cry 3 running at a steady 30fps? I would replay the hell out of those games.

any impressions on borderlands performance?
I'll echo this. I've been having a great time revisiting itI played for 6 hours with 4 player co-op and got to level 16. It works really well!
Everyone said it wouldn't matter but publishers are tripping over themselves to get their games on BC
Well, they have nothing to do except sign a sheet of paper and get some revenue from their old games (even if people only buy them for 5 $ at Deals with Gold-Sales)

Yup. I always assumed most publishers would jump on because there's really no reason not to, even if they are working on remasters (because BC and remasters serve different purposes/markets). There's no effort/costs required, there's potential new revenue, and it makes them look good. That's like the holy trinity for a publisher.
Except for potentially Activision because they do stuff that makes no sense/is shitty all the time and make enormous amounts of money doing it.
What they need to do is knock some of these prices down permanently and watch the money flow in from new users....or at least make DLC cheaper/free to try and entice people:
Additionally, MS needs to do them a solid and make them buyable in the Xbox store on XB1. Promote them and make them easier for people to find and buy
Yep that's what I'm hoping for all cases. Brings more life to their titles, especially online ones that could benefit population wise from everyone having the same content. Titanfall did it semi-recently also.Well Borderlands 1 already made its DLC free. Could be a unique case, could be the start of a trend.
And they'll definitely put 360 games up on the 360 marketplace eventually, it's just a matter of when that will be. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw sometime around the program's launch.

I think jumping to conclusions that Activision doesn't support BC is still premature.
You should include the list of publishers who have been listed as supporting BC, would give us a better idea of the games we can expect. The publishers are:
- 2K
- Bandai Namco Games
- Bethesda
- Capcom
- Codemasters
- Deep Silver
- Disney Interactive
- Electronic Arts
- Koei Tecmo Games
- Majesco
- Sega
- Square Enix
- Ubisoft
- Warner Bros.
Only one I can't decipher in that post is the one in the lower right. Only thing I have to go off of are the blue lines going from left to right, but can't think of what it could be.
As PGR is a first party franchise, do we expect these games to be added or because of Forza MS & Horizon, do you think we wont see them showing up as BC?
Gosh, no idea. Just did some browsing for 15 minutes and came up dry
Working off this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ubisoft_games
I'm sure someone knows!
We probably won't because of music license, same as older Forza titles.

That's what I thought too, but I was looing at this version of it which is blue not green so I didn't post it. The green version looks identical to it.Looks like the other side of Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.
