Will buy next time it is on sale.
That was my prediction last year. Announce a new Splinter Cell and get Conviction/Blacklist for free, similar to the R6: Siege at Microsoft
s conference the year prior (Vegas 1 & 2 included for free). Maybe with Scorpio releasing this year, a new Splinter Cell game would be a perfect show piece for that sweet HDR lighting goodness.
This is what my thoughts were. But yeah they could throw in Conviction as well.
It's been deathly quiet on the Splinter Cell front considering Blacklist came out in 2013...

This is pretty cool. I wonder if we'll see the same for the Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut.

Yup, not for that price, at least they didn't go for $14.99 = £14.99. Just £11.99 and with the sales on XB1 I can buy a current gen game for less than that.

there was a week when a bunch of older CoDs went BC at the same time last year(i dunno, September-ish?). From memory it was this and CoD 3 a few weeks after CoD 2 went BC. So all the WWII games are BC with the exception of XBLA CoD Classic.
shiet, they still didn't fix that? I remember having sound issues when it was available on bc.

This gives me hope for other third party games that have or will become Backward compatible but weren't available digitally to show up in the marketplace. At the very least, put Mass Effect 2 and 3 up there.
They are available via EA access for "free", I'm sure you can buy them if you're not a sub.

No, you cannot. Which is a bit ridiculous really since you can have them digitally if you are into the EA Access subscription.

They said they would preserve the games when announced the sunset of the service, but nothing concrete then and never talked about it since.
The ideal would be them showing up as play anywhere games on the store.

Ninja Gaiden II?

Wouldn't it be great if they announced Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II all of a sudden? Obviously I'll settle for the 2nd, but the first is available digitally for X360.

Snagged the Hitman games when they went on sale the other week. Glad to see Absolution made it, hope the rest do, too.
I've got them all digitally on PS3, but the less I gotta deal with old systems these days, the better.
Never got around to playing Blood Money, so here's hoping.

Please appease the 14,000 people who have made their voices heard. Anyone who hasn't voted, please do.

I have already voted for that but I really want NGB to get added. The fact that you can buy a version that plays on 360 already gives me hope.

The tens of thousands of votes that separate all the Call of Duty games from everything else is crazy.

Wtf at Halo 4 having more votes than Halo 3
Another wtf at Halo 4 and 3 having 50,000 votes each when the disaster chief collection exists

Well that is ridiculous, maybe its on purpose to get people to sub.

Bigger WTF to having to browse to second page before finding a 360 exclusive.
I'd like this. I got one achievement in it and now it's on my card forever.

I mean, come on, of the top-5 games we have four CoD games when in BC we already have:
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty World at War
Call of Duty Black Ops
and natively on Xbox One we have Modern Warfare Remastered, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3 and Infinity Warfare. I like CoD, and having the Modern Warfare games on BC would be awesome, but that is just too much CoD. Meanwhile, Ninja Gaiden 2, Project Gotham Racing 3/4, Fable Anniversary, any Splinter Cell from the past generation or Crackdown I/II still haven't shown up.

People vote for what they remember and the signal to noise ratio is not good. They'll play it once or twice and never touch those games again once they have had their nostalgia hit.
The exclusives need to be preserved especially as old 360 are unreliable and the 360 is now out of production.
