Xbox One Backward Compatibility update: Four new games confirmed by Major Nelson

Microsoft has once again released another batch of backwards compatible games which are now ready to play on Xbox One and Xbox One S consoles.

[Eliseo676]

This games already were Backward compatible.

The update made it so that we could use the Xbox One Wheel Control with them, for better racing. This should have been the news.

[Kingthrash360]

They are just trying to make minor news, big news for hits. Smh

[XanderZane]

Who's they? Microsoft didn't make the article. " http://www.dailystar.co.uk/... made the mistake but stacking their stories on top of each other. It seems the B/C story for those games was first and the site just stacked Major Nelson's announcement on the bottom. Seems like a typical click bait article.

I would love to play Splinter Cell Blacklist with increased performance and VSync enabled. Come on Microsoft, make it happen.

[2pacalypsenow]

I just want a new Splinter cell game

[SpaceRanger]

Agreed! I missed out with the early splinter cells and just want to play them. Pandora tomorrow and double agent were the only ones I got to play.

Top notch games!

[2pacalypsenow]

You need to play Chaos Theory!

[P_Bomb]

Bring back Michael Ironside!!

[badz149]

@2pacalypsenow

Erm...play them on PC? No?

[2pacalypsenow]

PC,Ps2,Ps3,Xbox,Gamecube whichever one

[annoyedgamer]

Be careful what you ask for. Ubisoft might make another co-op game and call it splinter cell.

[babadivad]

Hopefully thy go back to the roots of the Spliter Cell Trilogy. Those games were fucking amazing.

[No Way]

Space Ranger - You can download a Splinter Cell game from Ubisoft for the PC here: https://club.ubi.com/#!/en-...

[diesoft]

@SpaceRanger Oh, man, do yourself a favor and pick up the HD trilogy if you can. I don't remember if it's on 360 or not but it's on ps3 for sure. Those are too good to miss! ESPECIALLY chaos theory!

[Idiedgoodbye]

They need nore Japanese published games on the BC list.

I'm waiting for.

Dark Arisen.
I wish PSO exclusives like FF7, FF9 could be released on Xbox One.

[starchild]

Tenchu Z would push me over the edge to get an XB1. I'm a huge fan of the Tenchu series.

[XanderZane]

Yes.. and they need more Japanese published games on the XB1 as well.

[spoilerjerk]

I love how the biggest selling point of the Xbox One is the ability to play last generation games. Don't get me wrong, Xbox 360 had one of the best lineups in console history... Xbox One has one of the worst.

[Movefasta1993]

This gen in general lacks great new ips.Off the top of my head,Bloodborne,Sunset,Shadow of Mordor...?

[Movefasta1993]

You got me wrong ABCDE lol i meant there are only a few new great ip

[TheColbertinator]

Mordor isnt a new IP,its Lord of the Rings.

[t-hall785]

I own all three of those games and thoroughly enjoyed all 3. We could definitely use some fresh IPS. But this generation seems to lose more on taking risks. I think we as gamers need to support new Ips better. I always see gamers asking for new ips on here then I look at the numbers a month later and its almost always disappointing.

[vegasgamerdawg]

Dying light was fantastic. That's what drew me into this gen. The Witcher 3 (Not a new IP) and Dying lights open worlds make last gen look like child's play. I just recently played through GTA5 again and the world was empty and shallow compared to recent releases. Time is also a factor you must consider, not fair to compare the last 11 years to the recent 3-4. Games are much bigger, takes more time and expense to build, are other contributing factors. Like isn't black and white, you must include the every present variables.

[FreddyFazbear]

Well thats your opinion. To say xbox 360 has the best lineups in history. When its last 2 years theres not much exclusive releases and just the same old gears fable forza and halo.

[DeeBeers]

Biggest selling feature of Xbox One is to play games. Period. Not Xbox's fault it can do tricks that the PS4 cant.

Owait... yes it is! =]

[Trekster_Gamer]

Not the biggest selling point just something that every current Gen gamer would love and Microsoft delivered! Sony would have you pay AGAIN for games you bought last gen!

[sammarshall102]

The biggest selling point? More like a great addition to an already great console

[kraenk12]

Not sure if it's much of a selling point at all, except for hardcore XBox fans.

[No Way]

It's not the "biggest selling point" but it is a helluva selling point. Always nice to be able to ditch the last console but keep the awesome games.

[BattleAxe]

The PS4's lineup hasn't exactly been a pot of gold either. Heck, just look at No Man's Sky with a 68 Metacritic, Knack with a 54 meta, The Order 1886 with a 63 meta, Killzone: Shadow Fall with a 73 meta, Driveclub with a 71 meta, and on and on it goes!

[FreddyFazbear]

are we playing the numbers game again?? here are a list of games rated HIGHEST to LOWEST but I will only pick 14 games whether indie, remaster or full AAA from metacritic:
Xbox one exclusive:
ori and the blind forest - 88
forza motorsport 6 - 87
Titanfall - 86
Forza horizon 2 - 86
killer instinct season 2 - 85
Halo master chief collection - 85
Halo 5 guardians - 84
Gears of war ulti edition - 82
sunset overdrive - 81
dead rising 3 - 78
Quantum break - 77
project spark - 73
killer instinct - 73
Ryse son of rome - 60
VS.
PS4 exclusives:
Last if us remastered - 95
Uncharted 4 - 93
Bloodborne - 92
Final Fantasy XIV - 86
Ratchet and clank - 85
Resogun - 84
Tearaway unfolded - 81
Infamous second son - 80
Until dawn - 79
Littlebig planet 3 - 79
everybody's gone to the rapture - 78
Street fighter 5 - 77
Dragon quest heroes - 77
Warriors orochi 3 - 77

Seems to me the highest game from xbone is 88. none of its AAA games are even above that. Problem is, your just citing lower scored games from PS4 while I can do the same for Xbone. I just showed who has the best exclusives (Based on metacritic) even though im not fully on board with game reviews because for me the order and killzone were fine games. Go check metacritic again if you dont believe my list. I ordered them by exclusives and by score. most of the games on xbone giving it a score is a racing game. forza 6, 5 and 2 mamde 80 plus score. Wow thats the best xbox got? Bottomline: PS4 has more games than xbox one so its inevitable to also have several low scored games like the order and killzone but thats not really looking into the big picture isnt it?? i look at the metascore of xbox ones and almost all I see in the 90's score are multiplats. great job.

[BattleAxe]

@ Freddy,

The games that I listed were supposed to be 'key' games for the PS4, which never materialized into anything significant. It's interesting that Microsoft has more 'first party' I.P. in your list than Sony has. Sony has been relying hard on indies and 3rd party devs for their exclusives.

[FreddyFazbear]

What the hell are you talking about? More first party? Are you that ignorant? Ori and the blind by moon studios 3rd party, titanfall by respawn 3rd party, gears by epic games 3rd party, sunset overdrive by insomniac 3rd party, dead rising 3 by capcom, quantum break by remedy 3rd party, ryse son of rome by Crytek. The only 1st party devs there are turn 10 double helix and microsoft studios. While sony games have naughty dog, sucker punch, media molecule and supermassive games. So sony still beat microsoft 4 to 3. You lose again bro. Just stop with the excuses and denial. Microsoft is very guilty of having 3rd party exclusive. And by the way sony has more 1st party studios than microsoft.

[TheColbertinator]

Wasn't GRID 2 already...?

[Fist4achin]

Don't care much for these titles. How about lost Odyssey, tales of vesperia, etc?...

[Gaming4Life1981]

agreed fist4achin(great name) where is tales of vesperia and lost odyssey?

At least EA put ssx on ea access cause I have been waiting on that game.

[Trekster_Gamer]

These are excellent titles, still really waiting for Mass Effect 2 and 3 to be made available...

[Kyoshi]

Fuck you Dailystar. Your website is shit, littered with ads and this title is insanely clickbait. Can we still vote websites down here?

[Tedakin]

Another unimpressive group of additions. Where is Vanquish, Condemned 2, Mortal Kombat 9, Mass Effect 2 and 3.. on and on...

[solid_snake3656]

Xbone keeps going backwards instead of forward. New games new ip's should be a priority.

[sammarshall102]

Oh you mean like Recore, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, Quantum Break, Ryse, Sunset Overdrive, Ori and the Blind Forest

[solid_snake3656]

Dude out of all of those games only Sunset overdrive is good, and that came out in 2014. Quantum break flopped and so did Ryse (launch title from 2013).

[starchild]

I played Quantum Break on PC and loved it.

[bigmonkeygamer]

Add Blue Dragon and possibly Lost Odyssey and I would be very happy! I didn't own to many games on my 360 since I am primary a Sony gamer but loved the exclusives which again is why I picked up an Xbox One and recently "upgraded" to the One S.

[r3f1cul]

when is blue dragon coming i seen a tweet from phil a while back saying it was coming... patiently waiting as i missed it the first time around ... or maybe i'll super luck out and it will be games with gold ... that would be really nice :D

[XXanderXX]

Sweet
