Straight up, I remember playing it for the first time and realizing I was playing some from of Monster Hunter

Lost Planet 1, 2 and 3 and RE Code Veronica X are now backwards compatible on Xbox One

Isn't Silent Hill HD Collection already Xbox One backwards compatible? :P
Oh, that would be a dream come true. I was very much let down knowing the new version of the trilogy topped out at 1080p max on the new consoles, and now that you brought up that such a thing could be done, I'm all the more sad.
Lost Planet 1 & 2 are good fun, especially the amazing snowy atmosphere in the first one. The button mashy controls were out of control though, and they cranked it up terribly in LP2. I would love to see both enhanced. LP3 was okay, but turned out like a weird Dead Space spin-off instead of a LP game.
Too bad the only one I have digitally is Code Veronica. I rented everything else last decade.

Downloading CODE: Veronica X right now. So that just leaves Resident Evil 3 as the blatant hole in the mainline titles on the Xbox One (counting RE2 and RE's remakes as covering those parts of the franchise).
Yep, same for PS4. RE3 can be played as a PSone classic on PS3 at least.
Played RE Code Veronica X on the 360 (played a tiny bit on the DreamCast), would love to go back through it again (if it ever gets X Enhancements). It does have some of the cringiest moments and dialogue out of all the RE games but it's gameplay is still there.
This warms my heart. I enjoyed Lost Planet and one day I'll jump back into the series.
It also makes it so Asura's Wrath is that much closer to becoming available for BC.
Outside of some games that will never become BC due to licensing issues (Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Conspiracy and Blur are never coming and it makes me so sad) I am down to 3 games left before I can close the door on my Xbox 360: the aforementioned AW, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Eternal Sonata.
So close.

Yeah, its hard to believe but GFWL still works without issues for me lol. If you have problems check this page, maybe it will help you https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Games_for_Windows_-_LIVE
PS4 version is a straight up HD emulation of the PS2 version. No extra bells and whistles.
The PS3/360 Remaster actually ran the game on MT Framework, no content was changed but the lighting in the game was dramatically overhauled. Some people think it looks too dark because of it, but it added a lot to the atmosphere, also it added proper shadows instead of the circular blobs under characters (which PS4 retains, because it's a straight up emulation of the original PS2 version).
This video shows comparison between the original PS2 and PS3 remaster
And this is a Digital Foundry video on the PS4 version (the emulated PS2 version)
I wanna say there's matchmaking like RE5 has, but it has been awhile.
A little from column A, a little from column B.
On one hand, it is impressive to get all the Lost Planets on the Xbox One (at one time) and very nice to get CODE: Veronica X as a bonus.
On the other hand, there are a ton of 360 and OG Xbox games I'd rather have on BC (Wherefore art thou RallySport Challenge?).
So, yeah.
Code Veronica on DC was my first Resident Evil to completion as well. It looked so good back when it was released.
Damn I almost forgot Lost Planet even though the first one is one of my favorite games of all time. Forget Resident Evil, DMC or Dragons Dogma, Capcom. Give me a new Lost Planet with the recent engine!
How are the prerendered videos in Code Veronica? The only re-release I played was the PS3 version and the cutscenes had garbage quality. Significantly worse than what I remembered on the Dreamcast.
Haven't heard of a Capcom game from the previous game have its servers shut down, so I wouldn't think so.
Thanks for the links was looking for it on the store but couldn't find it. Do BC games ever get sales cause $20 is a bit steep for me with titles this old. Then again I never played LP2 and I'm sure the value is more than there with the coop according to peeps here.
yes
you could buy them pretty cheap before today. Games becoming bc always get a price hike with the usual sales a little later though

They were all $4.99 a piece back in the December sale so should be repeated this year in the bigger sales.
ive played all the most recent iterations of RE but ive never player Code Veronica. It looks kinda rough.... is it worth the trip? The other mainline RE I've never played is re3 as it's never had a remake either.
I finished and loved Onimusha on the switch recently if that helps.

great news especially for Lost Planet 2. Now if Capcom could just get Asura's Wrath on the Xbox One (X) so that I could play it on a newer system, that hopefully fixes the screen tearing as well. I really want to replay that game, just holding out for it being BC one day/
Yea that makes sense. Praying that's the case :D. I'll take a look soon enough
Save frequently and using different slots and you should be fine. The difficulty regarding CVX is overblown and many consider it the true RE3. However, its not perfect, it's not nearly as ambitious as RE2 or RE3 and it has a fuckton of backtracking even by RE standards.
Tons of emote animations in LP2 are taken from the MH franchise ;-)
Not waitng for LP1, 2 and 3 to go on sale. Will gladly pay the rate and show my support.... again
I've legit lost count how many times I've bought this franchise over the years, lol

Both LP1 and LP2 servers are live and well. We use Xbox Live matchmaking service, so as long as Xbox remains up and running, so will the game.
Same applies to LP1CE and LP2 on Steam. It uses GFWL but still utilize Xbox Live for leaderboards, achievements, and matchmaking service. It is live and well, though it may be a bit finicky to get it running since the GFWL client hasn't been updated in years. It works though!
Colonies is also cross platform with the PC version, if you'll want to add to that.
Thanks for the post! This will take out all the guesswork for everyone who's on the fence about buying it off the Xbox store
