Xbox One Backwards Compatibility |OT| Who wants to pay for remasters?

I mean, I don't care for any of them either, but all three of those were popular, well-received games.
Odds are just them continuing the bulk update to the emulators they started a few months ago.
Restart yo shit, maybe. Hard reset. If not that, then...who knows!
Really happy Driver: San Francisco is back-compat, one of my favourite games from last gen for sure!
Outside of the Splinter Cell games, i think the majority of games i desperately wanted to be backwards compatible are on the 360 side, which is pretty amazing! I do hope some of the earlier stuff do crop up, like Dark Sector and Bullet Witch but for now I'm really happy with how successful this program/service has been.
Same issue here right now, hopefully it'll be ready by tomorrow.
Gutted to hear that, I bet it's because of the music licensing (which was great, I still love to listen to that credits song by The Cure) super-glad I bought it on the cheap digitally!

It's exactly the opposite for me: I'm pretty sure I never bought the game digitally (because I own it on disc), but when started up my Xbox One a few hours ago, it just showed up in the "Read to Install" list - downloaded fine as well and I just had a quick go with it.
This is really weird and while great for me, understandably a bad situation for you.
Same thing happened to me. At first I figured I had purchased it digitally but when thinking about it I'm pretty sure I didn't and had only played it from the disc. Maybe they are granting a purchase online if you have used the disc version.
It's not unheard of for newly BC titles to take a while to show up in "Ready to Install" in some circumstances. Especially if there are some weird circumstances (i.e. multiple versions of the game existed, game is delisted from sale, etc.) If you are sure you own it digitally and it's not showing up, try a hard reset, and if that doesn't work be sure to let MS know either via support, the Xbox forums, or directly on your Xbox if you are in the preview program. I can't remember which game it was but there was one earlier in the program that took a couple weeks to show up for me and others.
Damn, that's unfortunate. I wonder if it's only temporary because don't BC games need up to date license checks anyway like songs or whatever so if they green lighted it for BC they've done the legal bit so it should come back?
Most likely, especially since it's listed like this in Major Nelsons Backward Compatibility list:
Driver San Francisco (available on disc or digitally if previously purchased)
While that would be great (and even more so if that were true for all other games as well), it's highly doubtful since you obviously could so easily cheat to get the game basically for free. I know I had some stuff unlocked on Uplay for the game, but that also can't count as proof that somebody owns the game instead of just having rented it once.
My guess would have been it's some kind of error much like what happened to Sony a while ago with Knack 2 (which was free on release for a few hours) - but in that case it should haven shown up for everyone.
Is Army of Two in a similar situation? It also isn't downloadable despite being a current GWG offering. Just a demo available.
I had to download army of two (eu version) in Australia. Just went free in last few hours
Hard reset my system and it still doesn't show up. Sniper Elite V2 is there though. Guess I'll reach out to Xbox support tomorrow.
I'll have to dig out my copy of Driver. Held on to it through 3 moves, for some reason.
Also so nice of MS to put far cry 2 on sale the week it goes BC. Never got around to it back then, but heard a lot of good things (recently, people comparing BotW to it). Was also pointed to a 4 minute long video of the game's healing animations! I, uh, admire the devs' dedication.
Good start to the year.

Is Driver the first time they've brought over a game after it has been delisted digitally? I know they've given out some of the older Forzas before they were delisted, but I can't remember if they've made a game BC after it was delisted. It's pretty cool they're bringing this stuff over to the one.
Pure was brought over after being delisted. I don't know if Blazing Angels was ever listed to begin with, but that might be another one.
Always fun to see something you weren't expecting in your Ready to Install list on Tuesday and Thursdays. Had no idea I owned Sniper Elite V2 but there it was (evidently a Games for Gold title between when I owned an actual 360 and the backwards compatibility program went live)
So I hastily jumped on a copy of Driver on eBay trying to get it before the prices spike but when I got home from work I realized that I already own the digital copy. Oh well.
Hm.
Lost Odyssey has an update.
Ah, noted above. Cool to see games get frequent updates as the tech improves.

You know what I'd really like? Blue Dragon to get the uprez to 4k treatment like gears and assassin's creed.
And chances are, as this backward compatible engine improves, at somepoint it will happen too. 8)

I'm still hoping for Asura's Wrath and Costume Quest. Mostly CQ, as I play it every year, and I put my 360 away when I got my One. Yeah, it only takes 10 mins to hook it back up... but *convenience!*
Wow, delisted Driver SF is really interesting. Gives real hope they can do any delisted game now.
Outrun, forzas, NCAA football, OMG.

I bought Tales of Vesperia almost 2 years ago thinking it would probably sky rocket in price when it will be BC..figured at the time it will probably be only a few months until that...yeah,that copy is still sealed and collecting dust on my shelf.
Definitely. Though I'd want Sega Rally Revo over Sega Rally Online Arcade (though both would be good of course). Much preferred the original game,
It'd make sense for them to start with the ones that are still digitally available (like the vast majority of the ones we've gotten), but maybe now some of those more difficult ones start popping up. I also had abandoned all hope for PGR4 but this changes things I think.
Such a great feature to have.

Black is now in the EA Access vault. Decent game for those that haven't played it yet.

MOTHER FUCKING DRIVER
I was literally on my 360 yesterday organising my pins and thought "Man I hope Driver goes BC one day"
Fuck me that day has come!
edit> Also for those having problems, downloading, MS will have to fix something because you can't even re-download Driver digitally on 360 from your download history. It errors out.

So let me get this straight: Driver San Francisco was delisted, is a 2011 game with lots of licensed music and cars and it gets a BC release??
MAKE PGR4 HAPPEN IN 4K MICROSOFT!!!!

The thing about licensing is that its not a deal breaker, its more whether they think its worth the time and effort and of course, whatever the original terms of licensing were.
The reason we don't get a lot more licensed stuff is publishers Can't Be Fucked to bother or too cheap to re-licence if they have to.
