BTW, I own both Doom and Doom 2 on 360; and hadn't had Doom 2 downloaded on my XB1. So I guess I'm SOL now unless I want to buy the game again.
Like I said, I just downloaded Doom 1 & 2 from my download history on to the Xbox 360 just fine, 26 megs and 35 megs about an hour ago. I think there is some bad info out there that this is a Telltale situation. It's just a regular de-listing.

A Doom workaround found on Reddit. I assume this will be plugged eventually but at least you can download the games you own.

"You can redownload them. Go to the Doom or Doom II club (one easy route is by finding the achievements on your profile) and select "See in Microsoft Store" from the main page of the club. It should say "You own this game" and the install button should be available.
 
Another approach is if you have the games in your recent played or recently updated/installed lists. If you try to start them from there it will pop up a dialog with a button to see the game in the store. You can then install from there.
 
Edit: I inserted my Doom 3 BFG edition disc and that queued up all 3 games so that is another method to install."
 
Don't know your region but here in Michigan Lucio O's were already clearanced out at Meijer's. I found them in the bottle return area.
I'm in mass and not sure where I could get them besides Walmart. I'll probably get like 4 boxes shipped for free to Walmart for like $3.50 each and give some to friends.

They're effectively de-listed for Xbox One, which is how most people would be playing them now. I can see taking the hit for those of us that bought them years and years ago during 360, maybe. But I'd guess that a good amount of people bought these classic games specfically because they were BC.

I'd also like to point out that Bethesda themselves reprinted Doom 3 BFG and put it in the "Plays on Xbox One & Xbox 360" packaging in the last couple of years, and this product is still for sale. This is bullshit.

Was coming here to post this. I created another way if you're in the CAG club, I have two screenshots of Doom 1 & 2 posted to the activity feed. The screenshots have a "go to club" button which will let you download them. So just check the community feed and you'll probably see my screenshots.

I guess thinking about, people are saying this version is still working. Maybe that will be a permanent work around. Seems like a dumb situation if the case, but I guess it wouldn't affect new purchasers.

 
Thanks to Kcobra22 for those links. Apparently I hadn't re-installed either Doom since I switched to an X. The removal is the top one and four posts on the Xbox Reddit right now, and high up on the Doom Reddit. 

Looking a bit deeper, this new version of Doom was actually ported to Unity. This makes some sense as they wanted to port it to everything, but it does seems like a strange way to go about things for a game natively ported famously to so many platforms. They also added a new credits sequence aping the Doom 2016 credits that focuses on the port team, with the actual old Id's names on screen for about one second.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNOK_w-jMxw

I've seen a couple people saying the game is actually locked at 30 FPS even though the code seems to be based on the 360/PS3 ports. Doom is an odd duck as the original engine is designed to run at 35 FPS and that was retained for those last gen ports. The only reason I would see to change it now is either a bump up to 60 FPS like some of the source ports allow. Even Android is based around 60 FPS and it's not like the game is taxing.

Really, the biggest issue I have with this version is the mandatory login to Bethesda's servers. I would not trust anything to these shitty servers as they barely function with the Fallout 4 and Skyrim logins about half the time I check them out. Not to mention they just proved they're willing to kill ownership of a title to try and force a re-buy, and a required server check-in makes it that much easier to do. This seems like an attempt to buff up their "registered users" of there shitty online infrastructure and nothing else. Doom has been open source for a long time now, so any argument about DRM to protect against piracy is idiotic. Even if we're only talking about console pirates (PS4 and Switch are basically wide open), I guarantee they will have a work around very quickly if they don't already. 

I like the work Id Software is doing on the modern Doom games but for the last year or two it seems like Bethesda is actively trying to burn their fans with the business side of things.

 
I bought Farm Together. So far the kids and wife and I are having fun, my only complaint is, whenever one person goes to the buy menu it pauses the game for all 4 players. It’s to bad you can’t just buy from one small menu.
 
There is a brand new punch card on the microsoft rewards app of a brand new game.  If you activate the punch card and download the free demo it will give you 3000 points.   Don't know how long it will be before they fix it.

You rock dude!

They fixed the 40 dollar punch card so you can get you 4000 points.

Can't find it. Maybe I'm too late


Edit oh Wolfenstein. Got it

Do you have to play the demo or just download it to get the points?
 
Good find on that punch card. Just a reminder all of these 10 hour trial EA games have worked for these punch cards also if you have EA Access. I would think a Madden 20?(whatever number we're on) would be a very likely chance to get a punch card like this. 

 
Gone. I have a quest for 250 points for getting an achievement in Young Blood. 11 quests show for me in show all quests. My offers are anime, game sale, survey, movies, apex, "shop and earn".

The offer is now gone. Hope everyone got it while they had the chance.

Looks like you have to have someone send you a buddy pass to play the trial version.

Just did it 3 minutes before your post.
And yet it didn't work at all for me. I tried downloading the game through 3 different sources, no luck. After awhile, I just purchased the game outright since I was going to get it anyway. Nothing.

Guess it was just never was going to work for me.

It's not a huge deal missing out. We are only talking $3 in points.

I picked up all 3 classic Doom games this morning. I am glad Bethesda released for the modern consoles.

 
There are two punch cards for wolfenstein. Scroll to the bottom of the rewards app and look for the 3000 point card. Downloading the demo registers as owning the game for the quest.
This ^

It was still listed there for almost an hour after I got my points. Just searched Reddit, seems like just before 11 pst MS removed the 2nd quest after they caught on. Quest was up for at least 3-4 hours before they pulled it. (7:53 when OP posted, 11pm when reddit started saying it was dead, timestamps showed it was up about 30min before OP posted here)

I'm curious if this is true, or if they were backpedaling. I'm surprised they didn't mention the login "fix" from the tweet in this statement from last night, but maybe that's just IGN being shit.

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/07/27/bethesda-is-fixing-that-unintentional-doom-doom-ii-xbox-glitch

""Players who own and previously installed the Xbox 360 XBLA backward-compatible version of the games on Xbox One will still find those games in their Game Library and will be able to reinstall that version of the game," a Bethesda representative told IGN via email.

"There was an error with this functionality today, but we expect it to be remedied very quickly.""

Nah. It's clear bullshit. At least the game download removal glitch is remotely believable.
Next they'll say removing the online MP and Final DOOM was a glitch.

For what it's worth on these Punch Cards it's not going to really matter where you tried to download from, as you said 3 different sources. You always have to activate the Punch Card for the game first or you will be SOL.

 
Are the doom 1 and doom 2 new ports 60fps?

I'm reading doom 3 is 60fps but unsure if it's 4k or x enhanced.

Either way the new ports don't have online functionality

No, at best they're the original 35 FPS that the engine was designed to work with. Just a weird quirk of the time that that game was originally developed. Every source I've seen said these are ports based on the 360/PS3 version which ran the same way. I have seen some claims of a change to 30 FPS, though I don't know if this is accurate. Regardless, it's not 60.

Quote from a 2017 article on the various Doom ports:

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-every-doom-console-port-tested-and-analysed

"But if you're looking for the best way to play the original Doom today, it's got to be the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. Yes, the frame-rate is still capped at 35fps like the original game, but it's full-screen, runs at a higher resolution and features the entirety of Ultimate Doom and Doom 2. Networking options are available and the control is highly refined, taking full advantage of modern controllers."

Doom 3 is at 60 even on Switch, and Panic Button did the port, so I'd guess it's X Enhanced but until someone puts out some numbers I don't know. Digital Foundry will likely do some kind of content on these ports at some point. At the bare minimum this new release of Doom 3 is worth taking a look at for them.

 
I personally won't be getting it as I still have to play the previous titles on Game Pass.

I'll be gaming tomorrow but unsure what game. Maybe Gears 2 since I just got into the series and beat 1...or maybe 1 on Insane. Borderlands 2 has my attention right now too.
I just started Borderlands 2 but haven't made it far yet. How far into it are you? Happy to co-op, shoot me a DM when you see me on.

 
so i see Doom 1,2 and 3 are up on Switch and Ps4. ($5/$5/$10)

I wouldn't mind Doom 3 finally being on Xbox One discless
I picked up Doom 1 on XBox One this morning and played a couple hours. It crashed after I died. So had to replay it. I am now saving often. I think I am about half way though it. Probably hold of a bit for a sale on 3. I had $5 in MS credit that was going to expire in about 30 days. Figured I likely wouldn't find anything I wanted and would forget about the credit.

 
Wow. fuck digital. Why do people want always online and digital only again?
Some of us don't want to waste shelves and shelves for plastic boxes. My MIL passed away last week. She has like 25 boxes in storage and probably another 10 when we pack up her apartment. I am glad my basement has the room and isn't cluttered with game cases.

ETA: I don't want digital only though. I like picking up some games with GCU or used playing and trading them. Just find for cheap $5 games I rather just go digital.

Personally as long as I have space I'd prefer to have physical since it's easier to share stuff, my disc can't get delisted, and I can sell stuff if I want to. Busted ass games that need patches to function definitely put a damper on them, as do games that are online only, but in general I'm still happy with the arrangement in general.

If more benefits crop up over time like Xbox's Game Sharing, I'll probably warm up to a more digital focused collection, but as is I'm not on board yet. Nonsense like what we thought was happening with this Doom release are why people like me are hesitant, and I think it's safe to assume we're not alone with how cold the reception to Stadia has been.

I am completely disinterested in streaming games. PSN Now was crap when I tried it. I like local copy of my games. Be it digital or physical. I like it on a hard drive (or SSD).

I game share on PSN with my brother. He isn't a big gamer though so I get no real benefit from it. He gets hundreds of free to him games.

I don't game share on XBox.

I was specifically asking why anyone would want to be always online and digital only, where we are the complete mercy of these giant companies as to when we can play games we purchased.
