Thats why you guys shouldnt hype yourself up so much.

I don't think it's all hype to expect them to at least put some games they made up on their 15th anniversary.

Actually, like a poster mentioned above, they are almost always good about this sorta thing.

Wonder what's different this time.

 

[Mutanthands]

Considering the last few weeks, this week is more funny than aggravating.

 

[LordBaztion]

That's not the dead space I was waiting for

 

[Oynox]

wasn't this some kind of interactive novel or something?

 

[etta]

What the fuck where's Fable Anniversary

 

[Patrick S.]

This must be some kind of foreplay, right?

 

[dancrane212]

For the $5 or whatever it was I liked Dead Space Ignition...

 

[amdb00mer]

I really thought they would of had a better announcement for today. Oh well. New BC games is better than no new BC games. I actually got Escape from Dead Island for about $3 new during a Gamestop sale last year.

 

[Ravi_elite]

i am really sick of Deep Silver...



they sign up to offer BC for xbox one...

yet they give us all the shitty games and do nothing with the games I love


1) Why the hell did they BC Saints Row IV? there is a Saints Row IV on the xbox one marketplace..that makes no *****ing sense



2) nobody cares about dead island...its trash....not to mention they remastered that as well


3) NO SAINTS ROW 1 NO SAINTS ROW 2...are they on CRACK?


ALL I WANT is a BC or Remaster of Saints Row ... is that so hard for them to get? WOW
JUST WOW

 

[Patrick S.]

Dude, have a Snickers.

 

[EffEmmGee]

Dude, have a Snickers.

Or a Marathon.

 

[dancrane212]

Or a Marathon.

Marathon: Durandal is high on my list of "wants".

 

[inoperativ]

I'm playing NGB on my 360 right now, if MS gets it working on the XBO I will happily rebuy the digital version as thanks.

Hold on hold on. This isn't 'THE' announcement......right?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I wish that they had announced OG Xbox BC today, and the first game available was Barbie Horse Adventures. That game got so much flak the last time it was announced as BC, it would be kind of a funny throwback.

LOL

Happy birthday Xbox!

 

[Jawmuncher]

Wow it was fucking nothing.
Dead space Ignition ain't even worth playing unless you want the hacker suit for Dead space 2. But that ain't BC anyway.

 

[m23]

Hold on hold on. This isn't 'THE' announcement......right?

I don't think there is any big announcement, not even sure where that came from.

 

[marcbret87]

Hold on hold on. This isn't 'THE' announcement......right?

Wasn't it already clarified that there was no BIG announcement coming and that it was all a misunderstanding?

 

[dragonyeuw]

I don't think there is any big announcement, not even sure where that came from.

Wasn't it already clarified that there was no BIG announcement coming and that it was all a misunderstanding?

Wasn't there supposed to be one on November 12th or something, and then was moved to the 15th? I haven't seen or read any follow-ups debunking that.

Maybe I'm losing it.....

 

[Jawmuncher]

Why did they send me a message to play on the 15th if nothing was gonna come from it. Why even hype your anniversary if you got nothing to show.

 

[m23]

Wasn't there supposed to be one on November 12th or something, and then was moved to the 15th? Maybe I'm losing it.....

No, major nelson was misquoted. There never was a big announcement.

 

[dragonyeuw]

No, major nelson was misquoted. There never was a big announcement.

Oh....never mind then.

 

[LukasTaves]

There are 24 OG Xbox games available digitally - all are playable on 360.... WHAT IF THEY ALL CAME TO XB1 BC TODAY.

That's a sad digital list

If only digital was strong back then we could have solid hope of having many of the supported og Xbox games coming.

 

[Backlogger]

I'm glad there is a constant stream of games coming to BC but I get increasingly annoyed with the games that were announced a long time ago that still aren't here. Why announce it if its so far away from actually becoming available OR worse off, why announce it if you are going to change your mind later and do a remaster?

Lego Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Burnout Paradise
Crackdown 1-2
There are others.

I mean at least Skate 3 finally appeared. How long ago was that announced?

 

[Lucifon]

That's a disappointing birthday list set of games...

Amalur please

It's already past 12PM. We got our BC games.

Two more hours until 12 pm PT.

The just posted that on reddit minutes ago?

EDIT: Yes, PT time so a few more hours

 

[Chris1]

Pacific

Ohh right.

Well I don't see more games coming, if there were more coming today they would have held off those 2 aswell. I'm guessing it's just talks about BC and maybe games coming in the near future.

 

[brokenbeans]

Damn it

 

[etta]

Not again, I ain't falling for this shit. They will just show a video of all the awesome titles released to back compat already and circle jerk how great it is.

No hype from me, Mr. Nelson.

 

[mike4001_]

Not again...

OG Xbox BC confirmed !!!!!

 

[Jawmuncher]

After that BC announcement, my hopes are in the gutter. I expect nothing

 

[Eanan]

IM SO HAPPY! ESCAPE DEAD ISLAND!

Who cares about everything else when we got this classic on BC

That kinda just seems like they will be streaming BC games since everything else there is stream stuff and it was posted by their streaming/YouTube lead.

Edit: as expected it's a member of the BC team joining on stream lol

 

[Chris1]

Not to sound like a dick btw but WTF is with Beam being on that image? It's 15 years of Xbox , Beam hasn't been on any platform and at this point in time has literally nothing to do with Xbox.

Giving Rare or someone that spot would be far better than Beam.

In the words of Thom Yorke, "let down and hanging around, crushed like a bug on the ground", damn.

 

[speedomodel]

When the fuck did Operation Flashpoint Red River go BC? Awesome game that I need to go back to...SWEET

 

[The Elite]

One minute until disappointment?

 

[RoKKeR]

One minute until disappointment?

I saw that edit! Question mark unnecessary.

 

[Sephimoth]

Are they seriously just going to be playing BC games? :/

 

[The Elite]

I saw that edit! Question mark unnecessary.

lol

So are they just going to be playing BC games on the stream?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I don't think we're gonna get anything BC related.
At this point my money is on the only worthwhile news coming from the 343 stream. I would think for the 15th anniversary of Halo. There would at least be a tease for Halo 6. It's about time for it.
