Microsoft has to put engineering effort into making the games backwards compatible and get publisher permission. I'm sure user feedback is taken into account, but you also have to remember that the goal is to make as many games backwards compatible is possible, so games that are easier on both the engineering and licensing fronts are going to come out first.

If you don't want old "ass games" why are you reading articles about backwards compatibility?

Loved SFIV. Happy to be able to fire it up again on the One.

I hope they bring Darkstalkers Ressurrection to the backwards list so they can fix the Youtube achievement.
Street Fighter IV is fine but playing Super and normal to me are too much so I just played Super. I've booted SF4 once when I've received my collector's edition with the ugly Crimsom Viper figure lol

That's OK I wasn't seriously considering going back and completing that shit mate. Ever.
Just got all the trophies for Nier Automata and I really wish they'd put the first Nier as a backward compatible game on One since I really want to get 1000G on it too...
Nothing interesting again

I assume he was joking. The Islamic State started getting international attention years after Luxor 2 came out.

Awesome keep the games coming! The ones complaining about back compat need to stop. If you don't want to use the feature then don't its optional. But for most of us, we appreciate it.

Whilst this is true I think the 'emulation' of the 360 on XBO is pretty much near perfect. If you look at some of the games. Witcher 2, Halo Reach, Alan Wake, Fallout 3, Gears Of War series etc. The changes are now to make a game playable its just a case of a few QA testers playing it for a few hours to look for glaring bugs. Most of the issue now I think are licensing and publishers trying to use BC games to promote new games (Like Alan Wake with Quantum Break). Nothing wrong with that. For a free service BC has already delivered. But I'd love to retire my 360. For me Prince Of Persia, Far Cry 3 and Walking Dead Telltale game (I started Season 3 but have 4 episodes to play) are the releases I want.

I just want to be able to get achievements when playing them on the One. I know you are supposed to, buuuut it doesn't happen for me.

Do you actually have any knowledge you're basing that on? Cause it sounds like you're saying "Look, a wide range of games run well, so it must actually be possible to plug any game into the software and have it work." I don't have a link handy, but I think I remember reading that just the QA process alone requires exhaustive playthroughs from testers to verify nothing is broken.
What I can tell you is that full hardware emulation of an Xbox 360 (a PowerPC processor) is simply not possible on a modern x86 processor. Emulating a different ISA with complete accuracy requires orders of magnitude more power than the machine you're trying to emulate.
Because of that I'd guess that the games aren't actually emulated; instead, they're probably recompiled from PowerPC binaries to x86 binaries. If there is an actual emulation layer, then it would have to be far from perfect and require a lot of game-specific hacks.

I haven't tried it yet because I don't feel like getting my 360 back out of the box and setting it up because I don't use it anymore, but is it possible to just copy games that I already have installed on my 360 HDD to a flash-drive and transfer them to my XB1 so I don't have to waste bandwidth re-downloading the same game to my XB1 to play it on backwards compatibility?

Had to delete Feeding Frenzy to get the disc to work here, as it booted up the game and blocked the install prompt, once Feeding Frenzy was gone the install prompt appeared and all 4 BC games on the disc appeared in the queue (PacMan CE is the one not mentioned so far).

No. When you download a game on 360 and download the same game on Xbox One, you're not downloading the same data.

Vanilla SFIV? Come on. Nobody that plays Street Fighter with regularity is going to want to boot that up again. Why not Super? It was GWG a while back.
Lame. Thanks for answering. What about DLC discs for X360 games will those only work on 360?, or can I port/install those to XB1 and use them with backwards compatible games?
I think it varies somewhat by game. But as a general example, take Oblivion and the Fallout games. If you put the DLC disc in the tray, it'll download and install the entire game plus the DLC, and then to play with DLC you'd have to leave the DLC disc in. The regular game disc can only play the standard game, even if you used the DLC disc to install DLC. It's kinda weird but I think it's because on One you're always downloading 360 content from the marketplace no matter what, and physical discs just act as access tokens.
