4. NCAA Football 14
5. Oblivion
6. Bully
7. Fight Night Champion
8. American Wasteland
9. FF13

Have there been any multidisc games that have become BC yet?

I wonder how something like Blue Dragon would work where there's no on demand version (that I know of?)

Just these 3, i would be content with just these.

I have never played the mass effect series and all this generation i was certain a remaster was coming for it... then when backwards launched with only 1 i thought perhaps i could play the series that way only to be left waiting. I really dont understand the point of putting up 1 if the others werent following.

And NCAA, how i miss this series. It will never happen, not just because of the lawsuit but because i doubt EA holds the school/conference licenses to be able to sell it digitally anymore. But these games were so much better then Madden and to have the last entry in the series available would fill that need.

New thread title.
 
Is it to much to ask for Original Xbox games like PS2 classics on PS4? (serious question) I would love to play some games like Ninja Gaiden, Brute Force, Blinx etc

Link to Mike Ybarra interview from eight months ago.

Some of us have been wondering if - rather than attempt to emulate the Original Xbox system - Microsoft should just follow Sony's approach and pick the best titles and make formal ports.
 
1. Lost Odyssey
2. Blue Dragon
3. Infinite Undiscovery
4. Magna Carta II
5. Rayman Legends
6. Fable Anniversary

Brand new emulator version popped up. Braid got updated to 1.0.1607.40720. Interesting, because Braid was one of the many that got updated just last month. Wonder if there was a critical bug or there's just a new round of updates coming soon.
 
1. Blue Dragon (haven't played it but I own it and want to pretty badly)
2. Lost Odessey (haven't played it but I own it)
3. Mass Effect 2 (fav game series of all time, but want all 3 so I can play through)
4. Mass Effect 3
5. Fight Night Champion or Round 4 (Zero boxing games this gen)
6. LA Noire (haven't played it but own it)
7. Beautiful Katamari (my GF needs a Katamari game in her life. BC will do)
8. Bioshock Infinite (One of my fav games. Would be higher if not for remaster)
9. Tales of Vesperia (wouldn't play it again, but I loved it and think everyone should try it)
10. Bulletstorm (for some reason I want to play this game again. Very enjoyable)
 
Hoping for many of the games already mentioned... and Dark Souls 2 and the Batman Arkham games. I dont want to buy games I already own and were perfectly playable fo me again.

Do you think they have to regression test every game when a new emulator version comes out?

I don't think so. from what I understand either Mike or Phil said that some games will run under different emulator versions or profiles. So game A running under version X may run great, but game B running under version X may have hiccups, so it will run under a different version Y or profile.
 
Hmm, Too Human is missing from that list!

"In January 2013, Silicon Knights served a recall notice to Microsoft to remove Too Human from the Xbox Marketplace. Even though the product page is still visible, the game and the associated digital content are no longer available to download from the Games on Demand service"

I don't think it'll ever be BC. You can't even buy it or download it digitally.

I believe they can make it BC, but disable streaming and screenshots. I hope they do make it BC as well as Square making Infinite Undiscovery BC as I think both would get a frame-rate boost like Red Dead Redemption.

Dodonpachi Resurrection
Afterburner Climax
Outrun Online Arcade
Virtua Fighter 5 FS

Those above are by far my most wanted and unfortunately for one reason (import only) or another (licensing issues) they're unlikely to ever be available. So yeah -_-
 
Still holding out hope for Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 because I bought it after watching an entire season of DD Fist of the North Star but haven't felt like hooking up my 360. There's gotta be at least five or six other people who share my dream.

Yes, I 1000'd Ken's Rage 1, but I got 2 at a time where... I didn't have much time! So it fell by the way side. Even though I think the Ougi presentation sucks compared to the first game, I still wanted to get through the full story, and see everything in motion comic style.

I had just completed the FOTNS 2 anime series right before it came out too, so it was all fresh in my head, ready to be compared to the older take on the later material...

Just wanted to tell you that your avatar drives me crazy, almost the pixel art equivalent of Rob Liefeld's "anatomy"... Look at the nose and that ear... ugh! Where is it from anyway? Wanna send a tweet to the creator, lol XD

Thank you very much for the link I appreciate it, agreed I think that that's the best option with the recent news of the Phantom Dust port hopefully we will se more ports of OG Xbox games on Windows 10 and Xbox

I think doing the original would be easier since it's an x86 system - it was the licensing of the NVidia GPU chip's emulation that would be costly, from what I heard.
 
Man... spent an hour trying to get onto XBL last night to play some friends on VF5FS. There's something wrong with my 360, kept signing me out :(
It's not my connection, after reluctantly giving up, I was able to get online with the PS3 version in minutes. to be frank, though, the PS3 servers for VF5FS are much much worse.

I don't want to maintenance my 360 in 2016. I want to join the back compat life :(

I know I sound like a broken record, but if there's anyone from MS skimming this thread:
being able to play VF5FS on an XB1 would make me so happy!

My brother had a similar issue last week with Mass Effect on his 360. He told me it signed him out of xbox live every time he launched the game

I envy him, he's experiencing the trilogy for the first time...
