The only game I've wanted since this was announced was Fable Anniversary

forget that blatant ripoff, go straight to the source. robo pit.
Virtual-On is awesome in the arcade, but I have never found it to be much fun with a controller. You need those two big sticks. That said, it is still worth checking out if you are into video game history and classic Sega.

Chromehounds servers were taken offline like a decade ago.
Surely there's a way to get them back online via LAN methods, right?
Though I doubt it would work with the 360 infrastructure like it did with the OG system.

More Sega games, awesome!
Still waiting on Sonic Adventure 1 & 2.

I would know please for chromehounds to come back but you would need Sega or someone to host the servers for the persistent war. I don't see how that would work over LAN.

Weird radiant silvergun wasn't in my ready to install list but I found it when I searched the store. the Xbox one now has the 2 best games ever made imo, with RS and SotN. Man what an amazing company MS, thank God they got into gaming when they did.

Haven't played Radiant Silvergun in years, will have to get that on sale sometime
I'd love Virtual On but I kinda want to put that money towards Force since I've been sitting on that for years. It's not that expensive and I still got my 360 hooked up.
Rest is nice too. Brotherhood means all they have to do is get Liberation going.

How was Blazing Angels?
You have good taste! But I remember that PGR4 had issues when you installed it to the 360's HDD, so that might be an issue.
Also, car licensing might be an issue too (though it wasn't for FH1, so who knows?).
PS. Play Blur on PC if you can. It's god-tier.
Car licensing may well have been an issue for FH1, but it just hadn't expired yet. Could have been that or the music that got it pulled after being made BC.
And even if the cars weren't a problem for FH1, that could very well only be a case of the licenses for them being shared with other Forza games.
Even for PGR though, I'd imagine the licensed music is more likely to be an issue.

RADIANT SILVERGUN :O
I didn't stay up late this week due to the repeated weeks of dry release days. Only just checked in now for this glorious surprise. I already own both the Saturn version and the STV cart an board. Super happy about this game on X1.

Trim that list down with reality. Dreamcast collection is just a bundle of XBLA games, they should individually install as they become compatible. Chromhounds had the servers switched off as did Phantasy Star Universe. Alien vs Predator has a licence. The rest should be potential releases.

I bought it for PC back in the day. It rode on the "next gen graphics" wave a little, looked quite nice at the time. It's a very arcadey flight sim with some cool WW2 areas to fly over with some of the classic planes from that era. I kind of think it will look very dated now, but you could always check out a youtube video. Not worth much money imo.

That was the thinking for a long time but Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are both available to purchase digitally. EA may still only want it up if it works on 360 too, but it seems like a publisher decision not a Microsoft decision.
I'll give you Chromehounds and AvP, but PSU has plenty of offline content worth preserving imo.
I really wish Sega would do more with Phantasy Star in general where NA is considered.

I also believe that since they're first party titles they were able to go back and package them in GODs correctly. Though, I believe if you run multi disc games in XEX menu on a modded 360 it's just a matter of having the game data in the same directory as the first executable so it might be that easy and it's just them being a pain. It might have to do with relicensing the games for sale on 360 too which obviously the MS games don't have to do, but what do I know.
When the X360 made original xbox games back compat I thought it was running an emulator that made some games work and others not so much (Had to have the hard drive and the Nvidai license stuff). Why can't the X1 do the same with original xbox games? Heck, why can't it just use the same X360 emulation software the 360 uses since the X360 dashboard is available to the x1?
For Virtual-On to count, it'd need to be Operation Moongate rather than VOOT. And the only Outrun the Saturn saw was the Sega Ages port of the original.
And you forgot Fighting Vipers.
serious question: why do people like burning rangers? the song is good, but...

sweet! gonna have to download radiant silvergun to my one now and get virtua on lol
I loved it when it came out, but most of those early 3D action platform games have aged pretty bad due to the camera and controls. I still love the look and style of it, even if it's pretty rough around edges.

There are also a couple Neo-Geo conversions from the OG Xbox that could be released as well:
- KOF: Neowave
- KOF: 2002-2003
- Samurai Showdown 5
- SNK VS Capcom
- Metal Slug 3 (Is this a better version?)
- Metal Slug 4&5
- King of Fighters 94 Re-bout (Never released. But could it?)

Wouldn't it be cool if SEGA just released Saturn and Dreamcast emulators for Xbox (or any other modern console)?

Assassin's Creed Brotherhood Xbox One vs Xbox 360 Backwards Compatibility Frame Rate Test
Best comparison is at @2.00. No screen tearing and solid 30 on XB1. Nice improvement.

This is expected at this point.
We still have some people who think BC is not worth it because it doesnt run well (and they use the same old Halo Reach before patch example as ever)

Excellent. Can't wait to see the additional improvements XboX brings to BC titles.
I'm almost exclusively playing BC games on my S now. Easily my favorite feature this generation.
It basically falls into three categories:
1. Games with licensing/legal issues
-Anything with licensed music, cars, brands, clothes, etc. that has expired
-Anything IP related made by a now defunct developer/publisher that wasn't bought by another (THQ)
-Anything that was directly involved in a legal case (Too Human, and I know KoA: Reckoning is still purchasable but adding a new marketplace to buy it from might be a no no)
2. Games made obsolete by another entry
-Sports titles
-HD Remasters/Ports (mainly Capcom at this point)
3. Games that aren't coming for not entirely understood reasons
-Publishers/Developers who, for whatever reason, don't want their games made BC. There's no legal situation holding the games back, just people and their own politics. As of now, I feel Koei Tecmo is a great example of this category. I cant help but feel there are several titles that haven't been made BC and don't have an actual acceptable reason as to why. I understand all the games need testing, but there are some odd omissions even with that accounted for.
