Xbox One backwards compatibility - sales until the heat death of the universe

OG Mass Effect for the first time in eleven years. What a game. The X makes it look absolutely fabulous.

Not on a 360 it doesn't - sure, with X enhanced titles the difference is night and day, but even with normal 360 BC titles the v-synced image, improved performance, and added 16xAF makes for a much nicer image.

The Darkness, X-Com: The Bureau: Declassified: Origins, and Duke Fucking Nukem Forever FFS added to BC. 

[Fargo]

Someday I’ll open this thread after it’s been bumped to see that Code Veronica, and Tenchu!,  have been added to BC. 

[Kevvy Metal]

Ninja Ga.... oh.... Duke Nukem Forever. 

[Vin]

The Bureau's ace. A tidy little self contained XCOM.

[Skull Commander]

Oddly I have a copy of The Bureau that I have never started. Got it for 2.50 in Asda a few years back. Maybe the perfect time to give it a spin! 

[Mr. Gerbik]

Duke Nukem Forever before Tenchu? Really? There isn't a seanr.gif big enough

I'll be starting a new, dedicated, and highly informative thread when Tenchu arrives on BC.

[Bojangle]

The Bureau is excellent as long as you go into it knowing it's not a proper XCOM style game, amazing it even came out given the development hell it went through.

[DeciderVT]

I liked Duke Nukem Forever. It's very patchy and the alien ship level is badly, badly misjudged but I enjoyed most of the single player mode. I was a bit bewildered when people went hysterical over it- some guy returned it to me for a refund in HMV a week after launch and went on a rant about how terrible he thought it was, before some gentle questioning revealed that he'd barely played it.

[Fry Crayola]

I've played all of it.

 

It's fucking awful.

The fact that not a single Need for Speed game has been made backwards compatible makes me think Hot Pursuit is unlikely to arrive. Loads of EA's other games from that period have been added - all the Dead Space games, Mirror's Edge, MoH: Airborne, all the Mass Effect games, Skate 3, Burnout Paradise, etc - which makes me think there must be some reason why the NFS games aren't coming. Probably licensing. 

They have a bunch of them free on Origin Access on the PC, but no Hot Pursuit, but I own that so it doesn't matter

Each to their own. The visceral level of hate it commands is still disproportionate to the experience. Negative hype, I suppose. For some reason I've found that saying I enjoyed playing it really provokes some people into shitting all over it as loudly as possible.

Just discovered today how incredibly smooth EDF2017 is when played on the Xbox One. Even on the standard console it plays like a different game. Phenomenal!

Glorious isn't it That's why I always hope for older games to come to Xbox BC rather than getting a proper remaster - often the results are far more impressive on Xbox BC! 

 

Still hoping for Tenchu every time I see this thread bumped

There's no more BC game announcements this year. Maybe 2019 will be your year @Mr. Gerbik?

Thanks! I really hope so and I have a good feeling about it

Quite looking forward to having another bash on Fuel. But it's a pity it isn't X enhanced.

[Revival]

 

[Mr. Gerbik]

At some point they'll run out of games that aren't Tenchu. 

[Count Buffalos]

Or Armored Core.

I read somewhere it was over 2,000. Maybe that includes region exclusive stuff?

[gossi the dog]

I’m assuming Ace Combat 6 will be next week?

[Revival]

Congrats! Can you pull off the same trick for Tenchu next week please?

[SeanR]

looking forward to trying the (GwG) FarCry 2 backwards compatibility when I get home
