Title: So, Anyone interested in seeing AVP 2010 BC on Xbox One?
Post by: AMITY_PREDATOR on Feb 19, 2018, 10:24:10 PM
Ultimately,  it's up to Sega,  And I just read on this site that Sega dropped support of the game early on,  but if enough people ask for it,  it can be made bc.

I was without internet for about  6 years before  I was able to try the already dying MP,  but it was fun when you found a full group; a healthy mix of Press,  Xenos and Marines.

I have got it on the 360 and would like to see it on the Xbox one. I would not care so much about the online except for the fact I still need to get the six pack achievement which can only be done by completing a ranked match with six friends. It might still be possible but you will need six willing folks to add each other and group up for a match and even then you will still have a hard time finding a match. I am not sure if there servers are still active or not.

I have an Xbox One X and I prefer playing 360 games on it because it actually has smoother frame rates and faster load times.

I only have a 360 classic and the thing is LOUD.

I prefer the Xbox One.

Xbox One sounds like a jet taking off with some games though, I can attest through my brother.

I'd have nothing against it being BC, but I'd just rather a new game- hell if backwards compatibility would reissue an interest in the franchise that could be a win-win situation actually.

It's backwards compatible now.  I just installed it on my Xbox One.

Fo' real?!

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/backward-compatibility/available-games

Not seeing it on the list. Do you have to do anything special with it?


According to someone on Facebook -

QuoteGuys, apparently the AVP 2010 Xbox game has a revamped product page on Xbox store which is what usually happens right before a game goes backwards compatible.

I just tried to launch it, but got this error message:

QuoteThis game might not be playable yet. 

If you're sure it's been released, restart your Xbox and launch it again.  Otherwise, wait for the release date. (0x87e10007)

So I restarted the system and tried it again.  No dice.  I've never seen that before with a 360 game on my X1.

I own the digital download version so it just showed up in my "ready to install" section tonight before I downloaded and installed it.  Maybe they just allowed installations before enabling it to be played?

Is that big news?  I suppose it'll reinvigorate the multiplayer community, especially if they release it as an Xbox Live Gold freebie at some point.

I'll keep trying over the next day or so and let you know if and when it's playable.

It's not massive but it's something I see asked about fairly regularly. It'll be a nice little jolt in interest in the gaming side of things too. Especially in any abscense of news to do with Cold Iron's game.

Looks like this is happening, the official game page has been updated (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/aliens-vs-predator/bsjk0b2zq5j1?ocid=AID681541_aff_7814_1240027&tduid=%28ir_43a1d08eN3c49a6a47949c277ad4b2cda%29%287814%29%281240027%29%28%29%28%29&irgwc=1&irclickid=43a1d08eN3c49a6a47949c277ad4b2cda&rtc=1#activetab=pivot:overviewtab) and lists XBO backwards compatibility. Microsoft just has yet to make an official announcement

The ACM page has not been updated, and to be honest I doubt they'll even do that one, but who knows.

I've never played BWC games on the Xbone. How does it work? Did you have to put your old disc in and it's prompts you for a DL?
Title: Re: So, Anyone interested in seeing AVP 2010 BC on Xbox One?
Post by: RidgeTop on Oct 03, 2018, 11:17:04 AM
It works very well.

Recently added backwards compatible titles are re-offered digitally, at the top of the list (which will prompt new sales), for both Xbox 360 and original Xbox. Also, with a growing number of titles there are emulation based graphical enhancements in resolution and performance.

If you already own an original Xbox or Xbox 360 disc for a title that is added, those will also now work with your XBO.

Yes. You should really check it out next time you're on XBL, there's a whole backwards compatible section. Been loving the nostalgia injection of playing original Xbox games like Knights of the Old Republic and SSX 3 with the new Hyperkin Duke controller.

Better than very well.  All of my backwards compatible 360 games have, at the very least, a smoother frame rate on the X1.  Some are enhanced even more for the Xbox One X (which is what I have).

I wish every 360 game I owned was playable on the X1 so I could experience them without the hardware limitations of their original platform.

If it's a free download, everyone with Xbox Live Gold will get it.   That goes for every Xbox Live Gold subscriber with either a 360 and/or an X1.  That's a lot of people.

I'm sure the same goes for other people, especially when it comes to those niche indie games.  AvP is hardly one of those though.

It'll be interesting to see if just being playable on the X1 boosts the MP community.  If it sells well, maybe Sega will take notice and consider a sequel.

The timing has me suspicious that this may be a December freebie.

You mean forward compatible. Backwards would be One to 360, literally going backwards. Aka backported.

No Xbox One X enhancements unfortunately.
Shame but totally expected. I've got a copy on 360 possibly lying around somewhere so may give it a spin.

I bought this the other day because if backwards compatibility. Already had it on ps3, but for £2.50 in cex I feel it's worth it.

Has been for many years. The match-making on the consoles used to be pretty bad.

Played it yesterday, matchmaking is still rubbish but there was a few players, the most was eight. I didn't have much fun though because I was lagging a lot, which I am guessing has to be from one of those bad sports in the match because my internet is fast, that or the servers are just that bad now.

Love this game needed it to.be honest as this gen only had isolation at the mo last gen had 3 alien games.anyway just wandering if anyone has created an alien warrior mod for isolation or even a protomorph mod love the drone but would be cool to see Cameron's warrior xeno as well even covenants protomorph alien.just thought some modder would have done it by now

Not sure for certain as it has been awhile since I played it on 360. I have only played once so far and there really wasn't a significant amout of players, it is possible that it being on Xone now has caused some folks to come back on it, but the matchmaking problem will soon kill that.

This is why I loved the days when bots were more prevalent in multiplayer. Set them on hard and blast away.

Bots can make the match feel full and at least there something to kill and be killed by.  I remember playing Timesplitters a lot with bots before I got internet connection, as well as the original battlefronts.

This is why Hicks needed to promote the hell out of this news.  I bet he significantly boosted sales of Xbox consoles and AvP with that one post.

They should send him a free Xbox One X as thanks.

Unfortunately, since my hard copy of AvP on 360 was given away or sold at some point, I had to buy this again on the Xbox store for $20. However, it seems to be astronomically expensive on Amazon if you want to get it new, so $20 isn't all bad.

This game has actually aged pretty well if you just want to run through it. I played the three campaigns on hard in about a day's worth of time; I felt they were pretty easy actually, so I must have improved at FPS games in the time this was released, because I remember feeling more challenged on the normal setting when it was released. The Predator campaign had a couple moments where I got stuck on hand-to-hand combat with the Xenos, but it was all doable after a few tries. It's all really about timing. The human campaign is easily the best and most atmospheric, except for the 2nd half of the final level which really takes you out of the game in favor of a grueling lead up to an underwhelmingly designed boss fight.

The Xenomorph AI in the human campaign is what continues to impress me about this game. Very cunning enemies; they make the ACM Xenomorphs look like a joke, and that game was released later.

The Predator and Alien campaign are fun, but the human AI is still notably awful. Distracting the humans w/ Predator's voice mimicking is hilariously unrealistic. Their verbal responses to these are lazy and cut out all the tension of the moment. The AI also don't respond realistically to finding their dead friends. I'm also still bitter that the headbite isn't one of the primary attacks playing as the Alien. It ends up being a stealth type kill instead of something activated when the human heads are in the center of the screen. There also isn't a satisfying crunch sound when executed, but that might be nitpicking. 

Overall this is still fun and worth playing, and maybe it has aged well because of how bad ACM is. This still doesn't improve upon AvP (1999) or AvP 2, but it's a worthy entry if you ask me, if only for the human campaign. I even played some multiplayer, and that was a good time as well. Even had a game with 7 people in it at one point.

I very much hope this ushers in backwards compatibility for:
- Aliens: Colonial Marines
- AvP: Excinction
- Predator: Concrete Jungle

I will feel stupid doing it, but I will purchase all of these games again if they'll run on Xbox One. The lovely thing about backwards compatibility is the more powerful machine slashes the load times for these games, making them much more time efficient to play as an adult, as opposed to the past when I was a kid without real responsibilities and could sit around all day watching load screens.

I started replacing my physical copies with (discounted) digital downloads when Microsoft finally allowed high capacity external hard drives on the 360.  I've never even laid my hands on a physical copy of an Xbox One game.

Microsoft would be wise to make a low-cost version of their next console without a Blu-ray or internal hard drive.  Those things just make them more expensive to manufacture and are ultimately unnecessary for a lot of users.

I hope they never make ACM backwards compatible frankly.

It's a crying shame really, the availability of Monolith's AVP
and Gearbox's ACM should be reversed.

To this day wish there was a skirmish for AVP Extinction.
More than anything I'd love a Monolith's AVP remake tho.

Can't believe I missed the news. Just saw this game on my Xbone store. Put in my old disc right away. Excited to play again. Sadly there was no games to be found online at all. Especially since I'm going crazy for achievement hunting right now and this game has a few multiplayer ones. Wish it could be a game pass game maybe the population would grow.

It's on sale again right, but it would help a lot if they would release it as a Gold freebie some month.  That would grow the player base.

Yes, that's probably true, I'm fairly sure it got on the Games with Gold programme recently though.
