Surely today I will hit the jackpot.
Give me Peter Jackson's King Kong!

I actually want Dragon's Dogma DD but I know it won't happen.

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.

Great post, this sums it up perfectly AFAICT.

Tales today.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Give me Liberation HD today! Make the AC series complete.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Out of my collection that's realistic... Armored Core 4 would be nice - I have my real 360 hooked up but I do like it when some old games I recently bought become BC. I bought a bunch of stuff and I remember starting TimeShift and about two weeks later it was BC. At this point I'm really trying to get every 360 game I think I'll want to play, and I'll slowly crossing the list down but the more BC the better.

Im hoping for this too. been wanting to play through the series again lately

That actually reminds me: should we expect any Original Xbox games to be backwards compatible and not their Xbox 360 counterparts?

Examples I can think of are Peter Jackson's King Kong, Burnout Revenge, GUN, Ratatouille, Superman Returns, Just Cause 1, Tomb Raider Legend, and Lego Star Wars I & II.

That's... Actually a good question. I doubt they'll add in the 6th generation crossplat titles into the OG XBox program, but I hope they do. A lot of crossplat titles were sometimes different from their 7th gen counterparts. Would make Xbox a great console platform for game preservation.

Noooooooooooooooooo

LOL

Hot troll game ヾ(＠⌒ー⌒&#65312ノ

 

[Azzawon]

Pretty much my reaction. At least it's another CoD, so MW2 is getting a bit closer.

Spoiler

I hope.

That just makes it even stranger since MW2 doesn't have a version on Xbox One like Ghosts does.

Great, I own that title but not the Xo version. So that's for me then.

 

[Keinning]

oh bollocks more call of duty

they broke major nelson

 

[chronic_archaic]

Really odd choice but alright - this game is actually more active on last gen so there's that for people who liked it.

 

[RagingAvatar]

lol "You'll take this and you'll love it!" "Yes, sir"

I honestly thought you were kidding..

 

[What A Time To Be Alive]

Just remembered that Ghosts came out on XB1.

Troll harder MS (￣▽&#65507

 

[Azzawon]

That just makes it even stranger since MW2 doesn't have a version on Xbox One like Ghosts does.

Especially since this was a thing too:

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

While Ghosts is pretty shitty, it at least shows that we'll maybe get more games that have 360 and X1 versions. GTA5 would be nice so I don't have to rebuy it.

 

[The Pet of the Month]

Just remembered that Ghosts came out on XB1.

I just think it's an odd choice. First we're told not to expect games already available on Xbox One, and then we get said titles anyway.

Should I expect that we'll eventually see every 360 game on the program? I honestly don't know.

Ah well, better than nothing.

 

[rmatheso]

COD Ghosts. Funny, I have this and didn't want to rebuy.. I'll take it.

 

[blame space]

finally, call of duty: ghosts.

 

[Jawmuncher]

These picks have been whack lately. Especially after weeks of nothing

wash your mouth to talk about VOOT and RSG

 

[Captain Zyrain]

I mean, isn't it up to Activision not MS?

I don't there there is really a downside to having it be available.. even if it seems redundant and stupid.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

They're just laughing at me now. Why couldn't it be MW3?

 

[Akai__]

Activision gonna Activision. Nothing to see here.

 

[yankeehater]

Great, I own that title but not the Xo version. So that's for me then.

How is that possible? When I bought Ghosts for 360 they included the XB1 version for free.

 

[Jawmuncher]

🗑

Brought it digital on sale for the 360.

 

[Novocaine]

I guess this means one less announcement to be disappointed with in the future. Where's fucking Puzzle Fighter?

CAPCOM's BC support is half-assed to say the least.

I cry

 

[chronic_archaic]

Yeah, if they have Ghosts running they probably have MW1, 2, and 3 all running fine. I guess they just don't want to take anything away from Modern Warfare Remastered.

 

[im_dany]

I liked COD Ghosts but have it on both platforms. Guess I'll go back and try to go for all achievements in both versions, I only missed a few DLC ones on 360.

 

[Tapejara]

Bill commenting on Ghosts:

A primary business goal of the BC program is to help 360 owners make a transition to Xbox One. One way to do that is to not force rebuys

Many people bought Ghosts on the 360, and now they can still play it with their 360 friends on an Xbox One..

[RiggityRice]

Bunch of horseshit.

 

[DOWN]

Why did they spend even ten minutes on this...

 

[Keinning]

We all knew Ghosts would come eventually. The thirst for COD doesn't care about silly things like "mostly everyone already got a x1 free version anyway"

It just looks worse because its the single announcement of the day. They should have switched it up with Brotherhood from tuesday

 

[marcbret87]

How many CoDs there will be in X1?

Call of Duty 2-3
World at War
Black Ops 1-2-3
Ghosts (360-X1)
Advanced Warfare
Infinite Warfare
Modern Warfare Remastered

Forgetting something?

[dLMN8R]

It's amazing to see people get so angry at the Xbox team enabling people to not spend money on a game they might already own.

If Activision or Microsoft came out and said "We have an Xbox One version of the game you can buy, so we're intentionally not making your 360 copy backward compatible", I'm sure everyone would be so happy and understanding.

You're missing the point but judging by your second paragraph you're doing it on purpose so eh, no reason to argue about it
