If you don't own the title, then check Major Nelson's Twitter account around 2:00 PM Eastern today, Thursday, as he'll be giving out some codes for the game. There are a confirmed 568 backward compatible Xbox 360 games. It's a good way to test some friendships.ĭespite that, Skate 3 is still a blast to play. If you have trouble performing an anchor grind in to an olley into a beni-hana, but everyone else can pull it off flawlessly, then you all have to keep repeating the challenge until you get it right. Microsoft is working on Skate 3 backwards compatibility. Fun in theory, poor in practice as each and every one of your skate crew has to complete the challenge on their own.
Doing tricks around the park and just having fun is perhaps the best part of the co-op experience, as the rest of the time, you'll likely be yelling at one another and asking "why can't you just do that trick?!" See, outside of just free skating around, the rest of the Skate 3's co-op is all about tackling the in-game challenges as a group. The biggest feature of the title was the ability to create your own custom skate park, either alone or with friends. 3 4 Xbox Live director of programming Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb suggested users could use the HDMI-in port on the console to pass an Xbox 360 or any other device with HDMI output 5 through Xbox One. At least I'll be able to grind all over again now that Skate 3 has been added to the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list. At its launch in November 2013, the Xbox One did not have native backward compatibility with original Xbox or Xbox 360 games.
I'm also not the only one that would love to see a Skate 4 despite the fact the development team behind those games is now long since scattered to the wind. Part of the celebration includes the announcement that popular Skateboarding game, Skate 3, is being added to the ever growing list of Xbox One Backward Compatible games.
I haven't played a ton of skateboarding games in my life, but I was a fan of Skate 3 (even if the co-op was so-so). Looks like Xbox One Backwards Compatibility is getting a couple more of fan favorite titles with the likes of Bioshock and Call of Duty Black Ops the original.
