I'd love if Crimson Dragon was reworked for next gen.

Did it ever release?

Not yet. Apparently, Microsoft is very fond of the IP, and they want to show it proper care. What exactly that means is up to anyone's guess.

Yeah read the same. I hope it drops this year.

So, as State of Decay is yet to be released, you are basically saying there are absolutely no great must have games on 360?

What? Don't be silly.

I 100% agree for the types of gamers in YOUR case that makes sense. BC for you is only worth it if a few games are coming within a couple of months and during the next gen launch.

I'm speaking from the perspective of the millions of hardcore 360 gamers that actually have a collection of Retail 360 games and XBLA that the play and frequent Xbox Live with their friends lists and play 360 gamers daily.

That why I know BC would be HUGE for MS if they pull it off, especially if it's native right out of the Next box. They pull it off and it will be a big reason they easily secure their hardcore fan base.

BC would be a boon for MS, I'm sure it would be a relatively big selling point against Sony. the problem is execution and whether or not it would be hardware or software based. Software based is pretty much pointless, sure you can get games running but they often see bugs, glitches, etc that make playing those games annoying and ultimately pointless.

If they can manage hardware BC, I'll be very surprised and pleased.

You clearly didn't own a 360 at launch. Software based BC was FAR from being pointless. Games like the original Halo and Halo 2, two of the biggest games on the Xbox ran like a charm.

I remember going and finishing most of San Andreas on my Xbox 360 from the original disc.

Almost all of the major games made the list. Some didn't and some did have glitches.

Do you really believe that 'Always online' Cloud based streaming of BC is better than the Xbox 360's software approach?
