Wasn't Oblivion already 4K/60? Is it just via cloud gaming?

Do any of the FEAR games have resolution enhancements? The FPS boost is great but these sub 720p 360 games look like hot garbage on my TV

I'm curious about this as well. I'm always open to another reason to play through F.E.A.R. again.

So how does BC work with titles like Max Payne 3 that hasnt had any enhancements?. What i mean is i remember the game having a lot of fps drops on 360, so will it now be a locked 30fps on Series consoles, even though it hasnt had any enhancements?.

I would assume so. GTA IV is basically a locked 60 versus 30 with drops.

Otogi!!!!!

 

[Naked Lunch]

Otogi 1+2
Gun Valk
DOA 2+3+4
Binary Domain

Those are the big ones for me.
Theres still a handful I wanted but I aint going to be mad.
Just cannot be understated how awesome it is that games I bought 15+ years ago - now playable on my shiny new console.

 

[MrA]

at least it is going out with a bang, fine list of games there

 

[KloetenQuetsche]

Oh my God, they added Switchball!

That's one of the greatest arcade games I've ever played!

 

[Esppiral]

Max Payne 3 is up!

I am patiently waiting for ridge racer 6

 

[GametimeUK]

OMG I was going to battle through and play 50 Cent BOTS on PS3 since I didn't ever believe they'd add BC support for this title. This is a huge deal for me. Can't wait. I've not even read the rest of the list yet.

 

[Oddvintagechap]

Someone here a few days ago was adamant that the BC team was disbanded lol

That‘s what Microsoft said. Now they said it again.

But I hope they released the game the guy wanted.

 

[Edgelord79]

They are obviously doing this because no one plays them am I right?

Xbox will continue to get my money with these types of initiatives. People that think nobody plays these games anymore are either wilfully ignorant or just simply idiots.

 

[Filben]

I wish Sony would just put a fraction of MS's effort into their PS2 classics on PS4.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Will fear ever come to the digital store? I know lego lotr and blood on the sand wont, but fear and max payne 3 please!!

 

[xellos2099alpha]

PAPA NIER.. With frame rate BOOST

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Otogi 1 and 2 Holy shit! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

 

[Havoc2049]

To add to the other confusing absentees, can anyone explain why Chromehounds isn't possible?

It's not much of a game with no servers. Chromehounds only had like a 2-3 hour single player mini-campaign to set up the main online multiplayer campaign. The servers for Chromehounds have been shut down for years.

 

[Fat Frog]

Auto HDR should do wonders on RR6...
Any video ?

 

[PsyEd]

I REALLY wanted to see Def Jam: FFNY in the list.

Oh well at least have both Otogi games and SW:RoS....and 60fps for GoW:U.....so I'm good.

FOR THE UNINITIATED
(because I saw that question more than once now)
Xbox 360 games do not get a resolution boost without a special enhanced patch.
this means every 360 title that newly came to the BC program today will run at the same resolution they ran at on 360.
Because none of them got a resolution boost (called One X enhaced Patch in the past, but that doesn't really fit anymore now that the new consoles are out)

original Xbox games all get resolution boost as a default feature:
Xbox One + One S = 4x boost (480p becomes 960p)
Xbox Series S = 9x boost (480p becomes 1440p)
Xbox One X + Series X = 16x boost (480p becomes 1920p)

Xbox 360 titles that get a resolution boost:
Xbox One + One S = NO BOOST
Xbox Series S = 4x boost (720p becomes 1440p)
Xbox One X + Series X = 9x Boost (720p becomes 2160p)

an Xbox 360 game that got an FPS boost today, Sonic Generations, already had a resolution boost to 2160p and therefore now runs at 4K 60fps

I hope this helps

They usually do go on sale quickly after release, might be worth waiting.

It's up too

 

[Dr.Morris79]

wait a few hours, that should sort itself out... if it doesn't, maybe Rockstar games has something to do with it... I would not put it past them to only let Microsoft make them backwards compatible if they then also make it a different licence to the one one XBox 360

Thats what I was fearing, just rechecked and only the third game was ready to install but the original Xbox Paynes both look to be 'bought again'

Gotta be licence bullshitery.

This reminds me how fun that game actually was. I need to give it another spin soon.

 

[Artistic]

It was never a reality, but Too Human being BC would have been amazing.

On a side note, in on GunValkyrie too.

 

[LordBlodgett]

This is bittersweet to me. There are so many games I was looking forward to that finally made it (Max Payne!!!), but Its a bit of a bummer that this is the end of the program. Means I'll have to keep the Xbox 360 and original Xbox hooked up for when I want to go back in time to play some of my nostalgic favorites. I still do love what Microsoft has done with BC, and I'm excited about being able to install a bunch more games!

it still could be the case that the servers update licenses slow. have you tried rebooting your console? sometimes when the store gets updates while your system is running the store can fuck up details

Too Human is back compat for 3 years now... it even was free (maybe it still is???)

edit: yes it's still free...
Too Human | Xbox

I think it's even classified as a free 2 play game now, meaning you don't even need Xbox Live Gold to play online coop

Wow I really had no idea about this. Been wanting to play it since it's initial release. It's actually a very solid game despite the reviews.

It's still free and installing now. Thanks.

yeah and it's classified as free 2 play, so online modes don't need Xbox Live Gold to play. (same with Crackdown actually)

Not sure about FEAR, but Max Payne 3 was added to the US digital store a little while ago.

 

[Magic Carpet]

How about that Disk to Digital program that was talked about several years ago? Did that idea land with a Thud or did it have a bit of Bounce?

 

[Artistic]

Any recommendations where to find good deals on these BC titles? I was hoping all would be available for purchase on the XBL Store.

 

[urmie]

I'm sure with Black Friday coming up or end of the year holiday sales, there will be plenty of discounts.

yes (unless stated otherwise... but 360 titles should all run without issue, some XBox One games didn't get fps boost on Series S tho while getting it on Series X)

Wait...does new Vegas have the 60fps boost right now?!?!

 

[01011001]

It is and it's free. (Well was free, don't know if it still is)

it is in fact free 2 play, as in classified as a free 2 play game with all the perks that come with it like free online multiplayer.
microsoft did that with a handful of back compat games in fact. Crackdown 1 and 2 also are classified as free 2 play for example
