Four new arrivals hit Xbox One Backwards Compatibility – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "Today adds more value to the Xbox Backward Compatible scheme, with four new arrivals making their way to Xbox One. But whilst we’ve seen our fair share of titles arriving on the program, not all have been the triple-A blockbusters that fans have craved the return of. So, with that in mind, here’s our thoughts on the latest backwards compatibility titles and if they are worth the return."

Full appreciate the frequency of new BC titles, but surely I'm not the only one who doesn't ever use them? I've got tons of native XO games to play rather than going back over the old stuff.

LexHazard792630d ago

Yes correct, you're probably not the only one. I also have a ton of Xbox One games. But I also had a decent collection of games that I bought digital for Xbox 360. Thanks to BC more than a handful have arrived and hopefully more. I need Marvel vs Capcom 2 but who knows if they're ever gonna release that one.

neil3632630d ago

Do you really find yourself going back through the 360 ones though? I loved my time with that console, but can't bring myself to go back.

But then, perhaps it's me. Very rarely do I complete a game, or watch a film, more than once.

I'm playing GTA 4 at mo BC.
Amazing game, been almost 9 years since I played it on release.
Liberty City is still probably the best city created for any game ever IMO.
Before that I re-played Bioshock and RDR, both excellent games.
Pre-ordered GR Wildlands on the XB1 and I'm tempted to get Horizon ZD when a copy appears in my local CEX.
When Crackdown goes BC I shall be playing the shit out of that too.

neil3632630d ago

Can't deny it, great games. But some great stuff on the XO indie scene too. Not enough time to play everything!

TL;DR - Deadrising 2 and the DLC (counting as the other games), and Cars 2.

Looking back to the Animated Hi-Jinks of the Disney Pixar Cars Games

Paul writes: "If you are going to watch an animated film, it really has to be one of the Pixar ones, and the finest of those films that feature living automobiles is the Cars franchise. My son and I loved these films, and as you can imagine, the money making machine of the games industry wasn't slow to catch on to the possibilities of a Cars-based video game (or two or three or... ). So, come with me to a world that was dominated by the animated hi-jinks and the racing based fun times of Cars."

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for June 2019 any good?

Carlos writes: "With E3 having come and gone, leaving us with a tantalising taste of excitement for all the new announcements and titles that are set to arrive, there is plenty of reason to wish away the months. Let’s not forget though that a month is a short time in the world of gaming, and with each new one brings a fresh selection of new titles, new deals and more importantly new free Xbox Live Games With Gold options. With that in our minds, let’s concentrate the focus on the recently announced Xbox Games With Gold titles for July 2019, and let the thoughts flow on which ones you should be looking to get involved in, and which you could probably afford to avoid."

and i though that PS+ games are bad. but m$ said : hold my beerrrr... :D

Imortus_san1780d ago

Good games, only problem is they are cheap games.

gangsta_red1780d ago

Inside and of course Symphony of the Night are excellent games...but seriously who doesn't have these already?

And those other two, that is complete and utter trash.

Meet the Robinson's, are you kidding? That's a game you would see at the bottom of a Walmart cardboard box dollar deal blowout.

Vasto1782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

Meet The Robinsons is a really good game along with Inside and Castlevania.

Another great month for Xbox Gold!

Are you serious? The movies good therefore the game must be too? I'm immediately skeptical because the likelihood of a movie tie-in game being quality is literally less than 1% and if this game is among the 1% we'd have heard about it years ago. The reviews overall suggest it's an average game and many even go out of their way to say your kids will like it which is not the best way to praise a 'good game'.

Inside and Castlevania are good picks though so you're correct there.

traumadisaster1782d ago

Having your kids like the video game is a good thing. The hell would you say that is not important?

There is a ton of stuff my kids like that I don’t and vice versa

TK-661782d ago

@traumadisaster

"Having your kids like the video game is a good thing."

You would give your kids this game over what exactly?

CurbStompin1782d ago

Are you 8 years old? Or just trolling

littletad1782d ago

I consider myself more of an xbox fan, but no, this is a pretty shitty month for games with gold.

Nosferatu_dude1782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

well there is always a game pass with a better and bigger selection, so im not so sad about this month:)

Concertoine1781d ago (Edited 1781d ago )

Inside is a good pick tbf. This is the first month in a while where im actually going to get a game.

Kornholic1781d ago

It just shows how low your standards are.

Nosferatu_dude1781d ago

not it just shows im not crying over bul***t and going on with my life, but as always its the internet, people know other people by one sentence:) good for you pal and your super high standarts

Kornholic1781d ago

What a loser. That "bullshit" ain't exactly free either.

PhantomS421782d ago

Well I suppose with Castlevania and Inside it's not a completely awful month, but not exactly amazing either.

aconnellan1782d ago

My thoughts too - I’m really keen to pick up Inside, but I don’t know why those other guys are acting like it’s the best month ever

bangoskank1781d ago

Two of the best games of their gf genre equals "not a completely awful month"?
I bet if they were free on PS+ Sony would be getting praise.
Instead we get soccer and racing.

PhantomS421781d ago

Yeah, one has been released a dozen times over and the other while really good is a pretty short indie game. But nice trying to be a sad console fanboy and trying to turn two meh lineups into a console war.

bangoskank1780d ago (Edited 1780d ago )

Not a fanboy at all. I actually don't even own an xbox anymore. I just call biase when I see it.

Wulfer1782d ago

Xbox platform knocking it out of the park, even with the success of GamePass.

Gwiz1782d ago

Sony gives crap and so does Microsoft LOL.

shaun mcwayne1781d ago

Lol, mega crap, ill give ya 200 bucks for all of them.

Shane Kim1782d ago

Both services was pretty dissapointing this month.

lxeasy1781d ago
