Ninja Gaiden II?
Lococycle
It was Ryse.
I just imagine making Titanfall 360 BC is low priority since Titanfall is already native on the One. It'd be a cool final version of Bluepoint's work, though.
not for me. I already beat all of those.

No way, four artsy indie games? Though, I admit I liked that a lot when I had a Vita. I'd love The Witness from this lot though.

That Sony guy blasting backwards compatible stuff the other week has played a blinder, have they downed tools or what.

Dream bigger only to be disappointed when it's four small games
Fable Anniversary (360)
Spec Ops The Line (360)
Assassins Creed Syndicate (One)
Rise of the Tomb Raider (One)

Here is the interview Phil Spencer had with Waypoint, further detailing OG XBOX games at the 7:00 mark.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5G4pdbKjWI
"I love video games as an art form, I think there are games from PS1, PS2, N64, Original Xbox that people should play, I think you should have access to the games youre talking about." Spencer told Waypoint's Senior Reporter, Patrick Klepek."
"How we pick, weve got a collection of games we want to bring, we showed one of them (Crimson Skies), well talk about more, its coming this year, youll get the full list."
"One of the things, not that people have to care about this, but some of these games are 15 years old and you search for them and the rights are all gone."
"We were talking about music rights before, like, music rights are not written into video games."
"Like, how do I go and get a THQ game? Seriously, there are these companies and you try and find the developer, you try and find the publisher and theyre just not in business."
"Its why we didnt stand up there and say 100 plus games like we did with the Xbox 360. With 360, just because of time proximity it was a little bit easier for us to do the math."
"Ive got a collection of games a lot of them on the list that you mentioned before that are important to me. I was there, games that are meaningful, both in terms of gaming and the Xbox legacy which I want to bring back."
"Were actually going to talk a little bit more about that this over the Summer, because were seeing some pretty special things there.
"But just in terms of frame rate, response and even some of the colour depth we have, the original Xbox games will play better on Xbox One X and Xbox One S just the same way 360 games do."

Oh god lol. Strangely apt comparison.

Shut up Phil, just talk to THQ Nordic. He's chosen the weakest example. Now if he chose Midway, he'd have a point.

Is there any news on Splinter Cell: Blacklist BC? I have been waiting for that one game since BC went live.
You know that THQ Nordic isn't the same company as THQ and doesn't own a bunch of old THQ games, right? Like... Deep Silver, Sega, Take 2, Ubisoft, and other companies bought THQ properties. It's not so simple.

What are you talking about? Yes you are correct..other companies do own the rights to other THQ properties..like Deep Silver owning studio Volition & IP Saints Row....however go do some research before you post blasphemy...Nordic Games - now THQ NORDIC has ownership of a great many THQ blockbuster games that atm they are Infact sitting on....just to name one at the top of my head 'Red Faction'...my point though is THQ Nordic owns quite a few THQ games!
They might well not have legal rights back to the OG Xbox games (or care).
Why don't MS let all the work be done in the console instead of having to download repackaged versions of games. 360 emulation is a beast of its own so I can see why they need to do it there but the XBOX One can easily emulate the OG.
Seems like a terrible waste of bandwidth as well as the added complication of liscensing.

Thanks for assuming I'm ignorant of the situation. I have a good idea of what THQ Nordic own and don't own. Being a good business aquaintance with Lars Wingefors since the late 90's will do that when we've spoken about it.

I started playing Earth Defense Force 2 on Vita two nights ago and now I am really wanting any of the three EDF games that came out on 360 (the exclusive 2017, Insect Armageddon, and 2025) to get added as BC. I didn't play too much of my copy of 2025, so that getting added would be amazing. Probably a longshot for any of the three titles though.
Triggered.
I imagine everyone is talking about the original Xbox exclusives that might come to Xbox One BC like Ninja Gaiden Black or Panzer Dragoon Orta, but I actually started thinking about the really good multiplatform games from that era that you can't get on PC or current-gen consoles. If I got an Xbox One there are a lot I'd definitely want to buy. EA in particular has a lot of good stuff from that era.
Think about it:
Burnout 3
SSX3
NBA Street Vol. 2
DEF Jam: Fight For NY
TimeSplitters
Spider-Man 2
Medal Arms
BLACK
I have no idea if EA would actually release some of those though due to licensing. What's interesting though is that there are still original Xbox games on the Xbox games marketplace. You can search for them on the browser store and they probably still show up when browsing on an Xbox 360. I imagine those listings will just show up when they become BC with Xbox One. You can still buy Burnout 3 digitally on Xbox for $10 for instance.

You're crazy.
I'm expecting a little-appreciated arcade game that no-one will be happy with. That's it.
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Pls, I already own it, but I'd like to play it on my Xbox One.
Hmmm...
Never played that Pirates Lego game.

Waiting on this one too, framerate is a little rough on 360.

I've always wanted to play Grow Up and go back to Kane and Lynch, so that lineup sounds good to me

I always wanted to play K&L2.
And I played the Runbow demo and did not get it. I hope I can get what is good about this game now.
