Backwards Compatibility

Turns out i hadnt synched my SR3 save to the cloud so had to set the 360 up again and wouldnt you know i finally managed to remember the log in details to my secret japan account set up 10 years ago to download japan demos from the market place. So i now have copies of Bloodforge, Dragons Lair, Flashback, Mars Warlogs , Unbound Saga and Ikaruga that i got for free during that weird Xbox live glitch many years ago.

Any chance Skyrim will be added to the list? I wanna play my 360 goty edition on my XB1, but I'm afraid that ain't gonna happen with the XB1 edition existing and all.
 
My guess is no which is a shame as it was the game they used to test BC in the first place

I got my copy for £1 and havent played it....still i got Oblivion on day one and never finished it either...i did kill some crabs and stole a horse with my signature weapon, grabthars hammer.

It might come one day, never say never. But it may be some years still. Even if Bethesda said yes its a matter of of priorities ...its no coincidence Halo Wars and Halo Reach went bc in 2015 and the other Halos took til 2017

I have the Skyrim Remaster, it sucks I can't carry over my save from 360 version I never finished. I had almost 200 hours and do not feel like starting over.

Sure you do, just give your life to Skyrim. You know you want to. :wink:

Crazy how many hours you can spend on one game like that huh?
 
That's the other part that kills it for most people. No save carry over for a game that takes way to much of ones time the first go around. I have never been the type that could start over after putting 100+ hours into a game like that. Thank God I was too busy to get too deep into it the first time around. I hate to do it since I already have the goty edition, but I guess I'll buy the remaster. :/

What did you guys think of it vs the original? (XB1 edition)
 
I haven't even tried my copy of the Remaster. The main reason I don't want to start over is because my first go around I was exploring every area I went through and did every quest I came across. If I start over it would be awhile before I got to areas/quest I hadn't seen yet.

Fallout 4 I was better. I only explored areas I had a quest in. Anythime I saw something in the distance that caught my eye I would turn around and stay on my quest and fought the urge lol. Game is huge!

This right here. I dl'd Skyrim during the free play weekend and looked for my 360 (saw that it didn't carry over) and promptly deleted it. No way in hell im spending another 300+ hrs on that game again...

OK nothing major really, they have surprises coming for the holidays and a couple of big things they arent talking about yet.

My guesses are
  • resolution increases for BC titles
  • Original Xbox live coming back for select games OG Xbox Games

Holy s*** I just won swag on the stream

Anything good ? :)

I agree that it would make sense if they are going to release titles like Crimson Skies and MechAssault that they be playable online. I guess we'll have to wait and see. You'd think an announcement on this would happen in the next month or so.

Heh. It was an alphaX gaming mousemat or something. Some other guy won the mouse.

The 360 list was revealed on October 27th 2015, and went live on November 12th 2015. So i would think they would want it out before Xbox One X so i would expect details by October 20thish.
