This and Alan Wake: American Nightmare are running well for me. Obviously i'm playing this before DF tell me there barely playable.
rockstar wouldn't allow their game to be backwards compatible if they were planning on releasing a remaster version of this game, simple business model, don't shoot yourself in the foot

Which isn't the case most likely. IGN doesn't know how to read the T&Cs. That's talking about the people who pirate pre-released games like CoD and try to play them on XBL.

I'll probably just play it on my 360 as it's still hooked up. Xbox One BC has been pretty spotty for me. Especially with audio.

"It appears the games are no longer available to download and if already installed on your console require an update which does not work. Its rumored they still work offline however, it looks like we will have to wait until the games become officially available.".
i'm not near my X1, so can't try.

Well shit. Should have gotten up earlier.
I am currently playing through it on Xbone and apart from small graphical/audio issues it has been brilliant playing this as this is one of my favourite games of last gen.
Worrying seeing the reports of Microsoft blocking this with an update. Hopefully they properly release it soon.

Yes they blocked it and apparently you get Hexic instead. However, if you already downloaded it you can definitely still play the game by setting your console to "offline". I tried it and it works.

I have a feeling this will go official together with an announcement of RDR2.
You're gonna have to wait a few months for that though.

Hopefully. Then I wouldn't have to get this and suffer lest-gen clunkiness trying to pretend I don't notice to appreciate the quality elsewhere.I have a feeling this will go official together with an announcement of RDR2.

This ''follow'' this guy to get access to those games might be a trick/loophole MS might patch now or something...? never heard of this until yesterday and RDR...

I'm playing arcade mode and it's playing just fine.
Damn did I just missed some Wake?

Most likely. I really doubt MS is going to start banning people who downloaded a game that resided on the Xbox Store (although hidden).

Sony would have to charge the existing digital owners a second time anyway.

It's been around for at least one and a half years, so I doubt it. The problem is not a loophole but people not respecting their NDA which requires them to change their settings so nobody can see what they are playing.

They technically weren't released yet and only being tested. RDR would crash if you tried to equip the GOTY outfit. Blocking unfinished software isn't a "dick move", it's actually what anyone (Sony, Nintendo, etc) would do as it's a liability problem if it fries someone's system.

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
How is it a dick move? You weren't supposed to have the game yet and there are likely still bugs that they are sorting out with the emulation or else this would have been released already. They don't want people putting out bad impressions which makes the BC look bad if they think some of the issues reported in this thread will be fixed.
I agree, got a bit scared when i booted the game for the first time, my fans went into overdrive, super loud. I for one am gonna wait to play till its out
I have a feeling this will go official together with an announcement of RDR2.
This is exactly what I'm thinking as well.
They're not gonna ban anyone for this lol.
At worst the game wasn't meant to ever come out and they will just make our copy unplayable.

While nobody is ever going to get banned for this, how has it been around for 1.5 years? BC in mid-2014? Seems off by about 10 months.
Of any game not eligible for a remaster or a port .. this would be the one.
This game was in developmental hell and was put together during a time of a lot of turmoil at Rockstar. The horrible working conditions of the company was made public, and people who worked on the game said it was fortunate to have even gotten the game to a playable release state because the code is barely held together. That's why there was never a PC version of the game. It would have required an almost complete re-build from the ground up.

Unless the remastered version is a PS4 exclusive and R* have done this to compensate XB1 owners.

Couldn't they just emulate the 360 version on ps4 like the xbone is doing.

When does the industry work this way, ever?
Yeah, maybe Microsoft gave them the emulator source code to make this easier even wait no, facepalm.

I don't think MS would react well to Sony emulating the Xbox 360 on the PlayStation 4. That's what the Xbox One is doing.
Lol.
I just read the game was disabled via a patch, still playable offline. I wonder if this game will actually come out for BC now :/
Maybe they used it as a test bed but Rockstar hadn't given them the go-ahead.

Party is over for now guys.
That update blocked it.
I tried putting my console in offline mode and I got a message saying I needed to be online when I tried to play RDR.

You can't play it offline.

Something else I realized about IGN's dumb clickbait about them banning people.
This is just the Games on Demand version of RDR, which people can still play on their Xbox 360. If they do a mass ban of everyone who played RDR this weekend they would accidentally ban people who are legitimately playing it on the 360.
That's why the idea of banning people for playing a BC game early is incredibly stupid and I doubt MS would be dumb enough to try it.

Because it's one of the best games ever made? And it's great to be able to play it with the Xbox One controller?

It's not a BC thing, it has been used to buy games early, get demos/betas early etc.
Yes...could you imagine if we couldn't play a game we'd own?

Absolutely yes
100% of the games I play I already own.
You have a time machine so I can play some games I don't own yet?
I already own Rise of the Tomb Raider and was playing it yesterday. That cool with you?
It's 2016. After the success of remakes this gen, why is this surprising?
We're also talking about what many consider to be one of the best games of last gen too.
