I'm sure this is it. They want it for when the Xbox One X launches and are working hard to get it done. I doubt it will be a big library though. It will probably be 2-3 OG Xbox titles to start off.
Yeah, the lack of recent announcements is sad

Well, we all knew the supply of games that would go B.C. would run out sooner or later. I kinda hoped Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection would come over, but I guess Sega had plans to hawk these games in other ways.
Really puzzling that GRAW 1 and 2 didn't make the jump yet.

Oh dear.
I honestly thought Tuesday BC was dead for good but the upshot was Thursday BC would be consistent.
Again, I just wish Microsoft would communicate their priorities: "Lots of backward compatibility staff working on the finishing touches to original Xbox backward compatibility; won't have many 360 games for a while" - that sort of thing.
Its the baseless hope - followed by the inevitable sadness - that makes Thursdays seem less like a party and more like a BC wake. If I knew the likelihood was nothing, at least I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Bummer, was hoping with AC:Origins a week or so away that we'd get the only non-BC AC, Liberation.

They're like the same thing, just repeated three times!
After reading some doom and gloom comments about BC every now and then when there are no releases I can't help but share my two cents on the matter.
I can't really say I don't check this thread every tuesday and thursday religiously and leave a little bit dissapointed when nothing shows up, but I couldn't be happier that more and more titles keep getting added at a steady pace. Plus, those that have alreadey been released keep getting updated for better performance. Plus in the coming weeks there's the the alleged "scorpio surprise" when the X launches that they are not talking about yet (however, they tease every chance they get).
When the One released many said that BC was impossible (could go on a quoting spree, but I don't really see the point). When BC released, some said it was going to be half-assed and impossible to bring Original Xbox BC. This thread reminds me every day to throw my misconceptions out the window and teaches me constatly to be amazed at what can be achieved when there is a will to do so.

Yeah, I have to hand it to MS. I really crapped on the XBO initially (for a multitude of reasons) but they really turned it around, particularly in the area of BC. Best BC of any of this gen of consoles.

Yes, good post. Let's keep it positive people!!

I would probably not own an Xbox one if it wasn't for the BC stuff, it's really awesome how well MS have handled it.

Isn't this the first Thursday that we don't get BC announcements??
I bought an Xbox One in Dicember 2014, after letting go my dreams and hopes of BC. Then E3 2015 happened and added so much value to my console. I've bought over 15 digital 360 titles that I've always wanted to play but never got the chance (not all physical games are available here), what's more it expanded my library of games to play (and re-play) even further.

Has there been any PS2 games out on that programme recently? Feels like forever since I've heard any news on that.
Hoping that the Xbox One X comes here soon, lest I lose my sanity 😑

Based on Wikipedia, nothing since August. And, it only has been a handful this year.

That's disappointing, had they removed the trophy requirement I'd imagine we'd see at least a few more titles on that list.
Yeah, it's a poor solution to backwards compatibility and you have to buy the games again. And that's not even mentioning how crappy the PAL versions run.

Crimson Skies and Fusion Frenzy are just links to the 360 store, but the other three are bona fide Xbox One listings (granted Red Faction II has a 360 banner, but I'm guessing that's an error).
Hopefully Halo CE goes into testing soon, since it's one of the only two OG Xbox games I own, lol.
(That and Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, which I bought for my dad not knowing it wasn't on the 360 compatibility list, lol.)

HI finally someone who understands the issues of Saints Row....
1.a) Yes Saints Row is in dire need of a remaster so that we can have Vanilla Saints Row again
1.b) the gang leaderboard server crashed like 6 years ago, so the ability to make your own gang and play "gang matches" is missing...
1.c) the original Saints Row online multiplayer has been modified terribly to the point it is not even fun to try to take the multiplayer seriously or compettitve anymore...thus why the multiplayer is nearly empty
2. However I am here!! the great @Godzhand1 of the Saints Row community own the rights to the "Saints Row" Club on XBOX!! feel free to join Neogaf btw!! anyway
what do I see the Saints Row Club can do for Saints Row 1?
Well I see it being a hub , and underground matchmaking system to bring xbox one players a more healthy version of Saints Row 1 online
No I cannot prevent cheaters, however with the abilities to record gameplay / take screenshots / upload to the club activity feed and an active chatroom we have the opportunity to limit these interactions from cheating on the game...
So far the club has reached 419 users, out of those 419 I would say a whopping 320 of them are literally Saints Row 1 junkies like me, and when the gate lifts I see way more coming that way...
I know people here would find my methods unrealistic, however I know practically everything there is to know about this game, and can handle a bunch of punk kids...
questionably though for those who own clubs themselves and play 360 titles... is there anyway to tell if a player in a match is on the ONE or the 360? besides forcing them to take a screenshot....
thank you! and please vote for Saints Row backwards compatability @

Although I'm not into the game myself, your sheer dedication for it earns you a vote from me. I just went in and used a vote on the BC program! Wish your community good luck!

I was dreaming last night that Ninja Gaiden 2 became BC game... Even better, it was on discount for $3.99... I remember going through my mobile to buy it, even I have a retail copy of it.
So sad it was only a dream...

If I bought that Crimson Skies right now from the 360 store it would be good for the Xbox One I assume?

I was thinking the same, but I'll just wait till it's official.
