Any idea when PDOrta and Shenmue II will be BC?

I got an XBox 360 for Christmas from my girlfriend.

While the system is VERY cool, I'm not really interested in any of the games right now (Sakaguchi games WRU!?). I am VERY interested in either re-playing or playing all the games I missed on XBox after I sold it.

So I'm interested in backwards compatibility for these games...

Panzer Dragoon Orta
Shenmue II

Any idea when they will be BC?
 
I think it may be awhile. Whilst both those games have vocal supporters, they didn't set the world alight in sales. Plus MS don't seem to be tearing through the list very quick (understandably given the difficulty of the task, fix one thing break another :)).
 
Yeah, I hope all of Sega's games, plus Psychonauts, Phantom Dust, and a few others make the BC list sometime soon.

Wait......YOUR girlfriend bought the 400 bucks prenimum!?

You better fucking repay her big time.

I concur.

Lock that bitch up. You won't find that many girls willing to part with $400 of their money lol
 
I think none of the BC titles so far use the ADX video codec for the videos, something (AFAIK) all Sega games use. So maybe as soon as they get this codec working a few of the Sega titles will work without much more tinkering. I'd love to play PDO in 720p :D

Well Team NINJA games use both ADX and Sofdec!

And ADX is a sound codec! :D
 
Yeah, my girlfriend is cool like that.

Anyways, I don't want an xbox though! I sold it for a reason. Why can't Microsoft just put a little bit more money into making it more backwards compatible!

I'd be happy just to play PDO in 480p. Fucking newer Xboxes display PDO all corrupted and shit at 480.
 
I support this expansion of backwords compatability. PDO and Shenmue II need all the exposure they can get.

Also, if any MS bigwigs are listening in, do something about the SNK games while you're at it. That and Sega's stuff would make the 360 much more attractive to me and similarly like minded geeks.
 
Funny, I had an Xbox for two years and those two were the only games I bought for it.. Now I have a three siddy and can't play them...
 
Funny.

PDO and Shenmue II are the ONLY Xbox games I own.

And I'm waiting for Xbox to come drastically down in price before I ever play them(or if Xbox 360 becomes backwards compatible with them...whichever comes first).
