Can't dl pinnacle station. On my xbox 1 for some reason
You should try again, I just downloaded both DLC's 5 minutes ago and they are both being recognized by the game without any issues.
As for the topic at hand, I really hope we get the full trilogy as a digital download and backward compatible in the Xbox One, I loved it and I would love to play it again.
Still waiting...
I can download Pinnacle Station but not Bring Down the Sky on xbone? Crazy seeing as i played Bring Down the Sky on my 360 and was never able to play pinnacle station(it downloaded on my 360 but couldnt play it).
Just buy the ME Trilogy for PC. It's much better with PC graphics. All of the DLC that isn't included with the Trilogy set is dirt cheap on Origen's site. And you can buy it for $29.99 (a great bargain), or usually for $10 on sale (an unbeatable bargain) on the Origen game site. Plus the entire trilogy plays much better & more fluid with Keyboard/mouse. Or even better, with a Keypad/Mouse combo like I use with the Logitech G13 Advanced Gaming Keypad & Saitek GM3200 optical gaming mouse. I played the series originally on Xbox 360. But will be purchasing the PC Trilogy over the holidays. Hoping it hits the $10 mark. You have to check Origen's site daily to catch it. I played it some on a friend's system that is similar to mine. And it was vastly superior graphics wise than Xbox 360. It looked like a different game, quality wise. And game play mechanics were not even comparable to console IMO. Only glitch is ME 1 can only be played with KB/M on PC for those who can only use a controller.
To ne honest, I really can't see why they can't just release all 3 for XB1 BC right now. Except for the ME1 KB/M issue. Which would seem to be an easy fix for XB1 users via a device like the Titan One Controller Adapter.

ME Trilogy for PC on sale for $14.99 on Origen site right now.
Just buy the ME Trilogy for PC.
No.
No full controller support, no buy.
Not sure why the entire PC gaming community thinks all gamers would enjoy KB/M so much.
I played KB/M recently and it's one the most tedious things I have ever encountered.

Stop yer whining and just grab one of these. LOL.
It will free you up to enjoy gaming on the best graphic platforms your wallet can handle. And with any controller you want. You can even Map & personalize those controllers to work in concert with a mouse or keyboard or both to control your game to unprecedented levels. Example: Controller for the functions you like on consoles like running, jumping, driving, crouching, Shooting & etc. Mouse for laser precision sniper shooting, Aiming, viewing, grinding for resources on planets. And lightning fast cycling though weapons with the scroll wheel. Then use programmed keys on the keyboard or keypad for less intense commands commands that aren't even available for console games. basically with this device, a Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, a person is pretty much set for spectacular gaming on any platform.
Not true. Or perhaps, not entirely true. I don't have EA access and ME1 works fine for me. I got a digital copy though. Is the problem concerning hard copies, perhaps?
I meant to say "CAN" not "can't"... *sigh*
I suck.
Elaborate, please.

"We're still working on multi-disc," he said. "Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are some of my favourites from the 360. There's actually work in packing a multi-disc into single that requires us to go back and look at the original package on the multiple discs and reconfigure that."

Nope. Not spending any extra money on a peripheral that might not even work properly.

Oh how I missed this....Lol!!!!!!!!!!
Damn you Synthetic lol now this song is stuck in my head...
Hahaha this will be my theme song from now on when im sitting in loading screens.
Great (=<
I am curious to wonder here honestly why although EA is the publisher for Mass Effect Titles. They arn't pushing to have them added to the backwards compatible list asap. I'm pretty sure soon as it is. Everyone who loves ME will be blasting reapers again 
Oh the day!

@Above - I could see that. Pre-order Mass Effect Andromeda now, and receive the original trilogy to use on the Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility!
Also, apparently Sony is doing something similar with the PS4, so I guess the same promotion could apply there too.

I hope not after I had bought the full trilogy set already. I like mass effect but man dont need double of every game lol
Add to that the fact that DLCs are also not included with ME1 on the X1 and I see no reason to want to play it on anything but the 360 just yet.
I downloaded both Bring Down the Sky and Pinnacle Station on my Xbox One.
Now if I can get through the stupid update glitch for Life Is Strange so I can play the game.

I HATE playing games with a keyboard and a mouse and is one of the many reasons why I hate PC gaming with a passion. It might be fun for you, but for me it's ALWAYS been zero fun for me and it's absolute murder on my wrists (and so are point and click mouse "only" games)
Give me a decent gamepad and I can make the Mako dance, but give me KB & M it's nothing but stupid waste of time and a pain in the ass and no fun to play.
More me it's simple: a good Gamepad will always be better than a keyboard and mouse every single time for any game in any genre.
Oh dude I wish to god they would bring the pinnicle station back or something like it. I had hella fun with that. Was amazing DLC
EA has said that they have no interest in releasing an HD trilogy remaster for current generation consoles. So I was wondering if there any was new information when on backwards compatibility for Mass Effect 2 & 3, would be available for the Xbox One?
This might help.

In addition, this is not just straight up emulation as we know it and it takes A LOT of work for each title. The Xbox One is not near powerful enough to do the emulation done on say PC's that can run Wii/PS2 with downsampling and better AA etc, and even the best Gaming PC in the world can't emulate last gen like PS3 yet. Emulation is VERY hard when architecture is not similar.
Last gens consoles were custom Power PC based architecture (yes PS3 Cell was also) with CUSTOM GPU solutions. This gens consoles are basically PC's (x86 architecture with a SEMI-custom GPU). Other than the ram used, the tier of GPU use and a some ESRAM in the XB1? They are almost identical to be honest. Now I am not going to get into an argument about how powerful the consoles are (and I could tell you),because you can play on whatever you want. I am just telling you why all this is not easy and people at MS thought Phil and others were crazy to even want to attempt it.
In addition I can also tell you that game developers do not receive a cent on used games from say Gamestop, so this is not really a big priority for them. It IS a big priority for MS (marketing and trying to get people to upgrade to a XB1 and not a PS4).
The possible good news going forward for consoles.
Now that the consoles are x86 and GCN architecture on the GPU and the next ones will be as well? Current Xbox One games and PS4 games should have no problem playing on the next gen (just like a PC). It should even be possible to do things like a PC does. Downsampling or better AA (less jaggies).
TLDR.
Do not expect every game you want to be on backwards compatibility for a few reasons and many of these games still sell very well on PC/last gen and in the case of EA? They have their own digital marketplace on PC, so they do not even have to give Steam or the console makers a cut. EA was being nice, even allowing ME 1 on XB1 compatibility. Other devs may straight up refuse, whether due to a remaster, or the title still selling on PC/lastgen (many have not moved to next gen yet) and the fact that even mediocre PC's and Laptops that could be plugged into a TV could play a game better than 2005 hardware consoles.
Also controller support for ME has been modded in quite well now.
http://www.neogaf.co...d.php?t=1016179
Now if you have a decent gaming PC? ME looks stupidly better on PC. If you have something like a R9 390/GTX 970? You can play with 4k downsampling (AMD VSR/Nvidia DSR/Gedosato) and 4k texture packs and ME 2 and 3 are among the best looking games on PC still. They are often on sale at Origin. For ME 1, use MEUITM. 2 is more complicated and there are threads on modding it.
This is on a 1080p television with a 4k downsample and texture packs with a MITX I built and a GTX 970/I5k and some shots of ME 2. Cost me around 800ish with black friday deals. Oh and Mass Effect 3 of course looks better. PC is just the way to go on the past ME games or any older game. Anyone arguing otherwise? Kind of being silly. Oh and of course a native 4k TV would look better than these 1080p screenshots, but other than playing last gen games at 4k 60? We are not really there yet on one GPU (and many games and engines do not support dual GPU like Unreal 4). To be honest the best support for dual GPU always seems to come from EA nowdays. Battlefront/BF4 etc.

Nope. I don't trust fan made mods. Unless it's an official "patch" from BioWare, it will never be installed on my PC.
Might as well download an infected crack or keygen.

A lot of people use that mod on Neogaf. Utterly ridiculous to compare it to a virus. What did I expect though...This is the Bioware forums. You can't help "stupid" and that is why MS prob requested (or EA/Bioware did them the favor) the PC not have official controller support in the first place. That way MS can keep the naive and foolish on their walled garden and paying a Xbox Live fee, when most of you probably have a laptop with a HDMI output (TV) that could play Mass Effect better than the Xbox 360 version. Anyways good luck waiting for a remaster (they already said they are not making as the series is gigantic and each game is probably a minimum 3-4 times bigger than a Naughty Dog remaster), or expecting EA/Bioware or any developer to support some silly backwards compatibility (other than initially as a favor) that costs them profits and requires a ton of work for each game.

Good for them? Your selling point to using an official mod is that "well, alot of people use it". Really? Great followers logic you have there.
And it doesn't matter if the entire world uses it, it's still an unofficial, fan made mod. So, no thanks.
Wake me up when BioWare patches it in.

1. You likened a mod to a computer virus. You are the most IGNorant person I have ever talked to on a message board.
2. You are so clueless that you think Bioware has to fix everything or will fix anything, when they never even fixed GLARING bugs and crashes with the Shadow Broker DLC, that the PC Community had to fix and or find solutions for (and if you knew what one of the solutions was you would straight up laugh). There are about 100 threads on EA help forums, tickets and Bioware never fixed a darn thing. You can simply google "crash on illium shadowbroker", "car chase crash shadowbroker" to verify that.
3. Knights of the Old Republic had 1080p modded support that was not "official" for a decade and I do not even know if that is officially supported now. My KOTOR is the disc version. I would not doubt that Bioware never patched it in. KOTOR 2 just recently got 4k support on Steam, but that is not a Bioware game.
4. Get information on things you have no idea about from people other than astroturfers(usually from Microsoft) on laughable "game journalism" sites, spreading misinformation and FUD, which you are here repeating.
5. Controller support was intentionally left off the PC Mass Effect's and was made extremely hard to implement, which is why TRUE support took this long, when we have modded the entire freakin ending to Mass Effect 3, created high texture packs for all three games, long before this controller mod arrived. Spoiler. "Official support" will never arrive. PC Gamers have asked for it for a decade on the series.
PC Gamers know who to blame to. Microsoft and Bioware execs whom started on PC, would be nothing without PC and promptly gave us the middle finger with things like controller support. Who needs enemies when you have friends like Microsoft. Glad to see Sony kicking their head in.
