Speak for yourself, it's one of my all-time favorites.It's not amazing, completely different in almost every way to 2017 Prey. I'm not even entirely sure why they used the same name.

Once again, there is very little correlation between the weekly sales and that weeks backwards compatibility announcements. By now it should be absolutely clear that publishers raise the price of backwards compatibility games and get additional sales. At this point in time I'd say the opposite was true for titles heavily discounted.
After doing a little digging, I can't believe there isn't a tennis game on PS4 or Xbox One. I was hoping the Virtua Tennis games or Top Spin would be on the list but no such luck. I some how got my wish with Daytona. So maybe some day with some if not all of the tennis games for 360.
unless they implemented per-console encryption or something I believe they just used the built in system to flag a save file untransferable, so MS could just update the 360 OS to ignore it.
I wonder if it's technically possible for DOA4 to be BC : it had untransferrable save files, and as a consequence couldn't support cloud saves.
Prob wishful thinking, but MS coulda have been done it for a while and were asked to not release it until they release their PS4 copy with it. Games have been held back beforePretty bad indication of BC - doesn't have anything to do with whatever MS is working on.

I almost agree with you. The truth is that publishers raise the price of BC games once they reach the BC program. I can give you several examples:
Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 were often dirty cheap (4.99) but since the day they became BC in December, the lowest they have been discounted is 9.99. Bioshock Infinite was 4.99 and 9.99 in the past, since December: 14.99 or 19.00.
On the other hand, you have mixed cases, like Red Dead Redemption, which was on sale the same week if became BC (in July) but it has not been as discounted ever since.
I don't know if this is happening for ALL BC games, but at least for a huge bunch of them.
My advice? Ifyou have 2.5 to spare, buy the Saint Row games, just in case
Bought SR2 just for this reason. It may not come this week or next but if it does come at any point I would have only payed 2.5 for a pretty awesome game. And you can almost bet it won't be that cheap again after that, at least not for a long while.
What's the consensus on SR1? I never played that one and wonder if I should even bother getting it.

I grabbed it last time it was on sale because you can't buy it digitally on PC anymore. It'll be a bonus if it goes BC
I was just able to transfer both doa4 and xvb2's saves to the cloud. If this was an issue before, they've updated the OS so it's no longer an issue now.
I'm kinda itching to replay OG Prey now. I hope they do a digital release/bc soon.
Apparently installing Prey 2017 overwrites your install for Prey OG in Steam.
Something tells me Bethesda isn't too interested in marketing the original..
Super Street Fighter 4 (not ultra)
and HD Remix today.
...Well not really, but I actually dreamt they were today's BC releases last night.
Would be happy if they were though.

Oh, and where the FUCK is Fable Anniversary?
Man, I keep coming in here looking for Cave shmups (Deathsmiles, etc) and I'm somehow surprised that they never come up. I guess I figured since 360 was like the only console a few of them came out on, they'd get the treatment sooner or later.
I kind of hope we get the original Prey added to BC today. I wouldn't mind playing through it again.
Anybody here play Timeshift on BC yet? I never finished it. The game starts out making great use of the Timeshift abilities, but slowly devolves into only using the slow time feature as bullet time mechanic. If performance is good I might try to complete it.
My guilty pleasure is Sonic Generations...not sure why, but I really wish it was BC
So that makes Metal Gear 2-3/Burnout-Revenge/Sonic Generations to pull the 360 out for..anymore to add?
Interesting. I had no idea the games had to be fully tested.There's a post, can't remember if it's this thread or not, that talks about a game breaking glitch found in one of the more recently released shmups on BC.
It mentions that the glitch occurred after a 1cc run, so there's a good chance MS didn't have a tester good enough at the game to test something like that.
I would imagine that's probably holding alot of the shmup style games back, because if the game has to be tested front to back in order to see if there's any issues with the emulator, shmups are some of the hardest games to get into, especially with no prior experience.
I would imagine a lot of RPG's are held back for similar reasons, there's a lot to test.

I'd love to go back to Soul Calibur 4 at some point.

It's been taken off the market meanwhile. I am really mad at myself that I never picked it up.
This is probably the wrong thread to ask but I'll ask anyway. I played Walking Dead Season 1 on 360, is there any way to transfer my save to Walking Dead Season 2 on Xbox one?
