Splinter cell Blacklist is my most wanted BC game and had been since this was all announced. That game is hugely unappreciated.

Looks like nothing, and we still don't have x360 sales :-

 

[Flagship]

Nice! I hope that and the original on the OG xbox later this year both become compatible. I never did finish it, it was so difficult for me at the time, then when I came back later my save file got corrupt :*-(

It would do so much for the framerate/screen-tearing too, not to mention bringing back life to the online modes...

Maybe they are preparing something big? It's really weird that the 360 sales have not been yet posted.

Looks like my decision to pick up another used 360 was a good one. We're never going to get Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection at this rate.

Ninja Gaiden II is pretty cool. Reckon that will go BC anytime soon?

Next week in game magazines.

Seriously though maybe we should start tweeting at Tecmo Koei for it? Or is it entirely dependent on MS schedule? I just wonder if there’s something specific holding it back.

Bruh, agreed.

Yep.

 

[B4D1E]

Don't do this to yourself.

“Nothing is true, everything is permitted.”

Only supposition, I’m not really expecting anything big one month before the X is launched. I presume they are full steam on Xbox original bc.

However I hope for a big sale on Fable Anniversary 🙏

 

[calavera_jo]

Nothing again.


There's never anything on Tuesdays anymore

 

[sp3ctr3]

announcements lost.. like farts in the wind...

 

[purseowner]

The Waiting Game is my favourite! So pleased to see it come to BC.

 

[PositiveGamer]

Hmm

At this point.. Original BC support is probably canceled?

I was sure we were going to hear something about it by now.

 

[MicroCuts7]

Whatever happened to leaks of Xbox backwards compatibility..I enjoyed knowing in advance and having my hopes higher for a game coming soon that wasn't known by everyone...now we are all out of the loop...please leakers...Evo...someone decode when Saints Row comes to Xbox one..thank you

ekim said a little while back (8 months maybe?) that he couldn't get these ahead of time anymore, his contact/access was no more...

You really don’t live up to your name

 

[Backlogger]

I don't think they will say anything else about it until the day it happens and the first game or games are released which could be anytime "soon"

 

[EmiPrime]

That's a bit of a leap.

The communication could be a lot better regarding BC however.

re: OG Xbox Backwards compatibility...

There are definitely many marketing strategy meetings based around this and I'd think there's a few options:
- Wait until it's ready, "surprise, you can play Crimson Skies now!"
- Wait until closer to a key date to bump sales (Xbox One X release/Black Friday/Christmas)
- Wait until there's a huge amount of games ready, and launch 'em all at once for maximum impact
- Send to preview Alpha members after the most current dash is ready/stable

But either way, a lack of communication isn't necessarily a bad sign.

The last time I got lack of communication it resulted in MVC:I so i'm cautious.

 

[dLMN8R]

I don't know either way, but it could also simply be that Xbox Originals requires the new system update releasing later this year that Insiders are testing now.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

The talk about OG Xbox BC reminds me, did we ever get a release date for that new version of the Duke controller?

Releasing that at the same time as some OG Xbox games would make sense.

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

OG Xbox BC was at the Microsoft press event a few weeks back, it's definitely not cancelled (not that was ever a concern). I'm guessing it will launch with the X in November.

Phil Spencer confirmed today that OG Backward Compatibility is still coming this year.

I'm interested in what the Xbox One X backwards compatibility news the article mentions will be. We just saw Deus Ex Human Revolution's latest update get tagged with Xbox One X, so I'm very curious to see how it will all work.

I'm hoping we get the first three Splinter Cell games. Really wanna replay them and the PC versions don't have Xinput support. The first might have some problems with the music since it used Crystal Method in the intro, but I hope they've found a way to make it work.

That's new thread worthy...

I hope Jedi Academy is on that list. And I'll finally get to play Stubbs the Zombie.

He also teased that there are still details about backwards compatibility will work on Xbox One X that have yet to be revealed: "There's some stuff we're going to talk about in that space in terms of how compatibility's going to work on [Xbox One] X specifically that I think people will find pretty interesting.

hmmm....???

 

[Södy]

Still hope for Burnout Revenge and Ninja Gaiden 2. These games, plus Halo 3, were such a great time for me back in the day!

Nice.

"We're close, we're really close," Spencer said when asked for the status of Xbox backwards compatibility. "I have a little dashboard I go to and I can see all the games [and] where they are in getting approvals in the pipeline. I know the games that are coming for the original Xbox but I don't think we've announced them all. We have to do this in partnership with partners, but we're still on track. I feel really good. The games look great."

Spencer also remains confident that the feature will be out before the end of the year, as planned. "Oh yeah," he said about his certainty of a 2017 launch. He also teased that there are still details about backwards compatibility will work on Xbox One X that have yet to be revealed: "There's some stuff we're going to talk about in that space in terms of how compatibility's going to work on [Xbox One] X specifically that I think people will find pretty interesting.

The problem is "really close" can mean anything these days.

Don't count for it in October.

 

[Miker]

What are the odds that it’ll recognize your original discs? I would be eternally grateful to MS if I could drop in my copy of Panzer Dragoon Orta and play. I know it won’t happen though

 

[CRAIG667]

Very likely.

I'd assume that was a given. Be very strange if not.

 

[EmiPrime]

OG Xbox discs will work the same as 360 discs: the game will be downloaded and the disc will be your license key.

 

[Miker]

Has this actually been confirmed or just assumed to be true due to how 360 BC works on Xbone?

 

[EmiPrime]

It has been known since day 1

Holy shit, go Uncle Phil.

 

[jelly]

I wish I didn't sell my original Xbox games for nothing.

i see this jump for xbox originals..... yet where the hell is the original Saints Row?

my community is irritated!!

 

[HomespunFur]

Has anyone said if OG xbox games will be availble to buy on the xbox one?
I never had an OG xbox but would like to play some of the games.

[ganaconda]

My guess is they may be able to store the entire game in RAM on the X. That could be one thing that would be X exclusive that could be really cool.

 

[HomespunFur]

It's more than likely that the OG Xbox games already available on the 360 Store can be purchased on the X1. What's going to limit the releases is that they need publisher permission because they are a new executable and so technically a new version.

This was not a problem on the 360 because they games ran original code on a universal emulator. on the X1 it's an emulator packed in the the game code.

Ah I see thanks!

But yeah I think Phil has said og xbox bc isn't going to be like 360 bc in terms if the number of games

 

[G0523]

I wish I didn't sell my original Xbox games for nothing.

It's okay. You can probably buy them all again for nothing too. Many of the games on Xbox aren't worth much.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Not likely - the Xbox One stock has 5.5GB to work with so almost every OG Xbox game could fit that overhead anyway.
