Is it really not possible to make it BC only for existing owners i.e. Not for sale on the digital store
It's not possible because it doesn't play the game off the disc, but instead downloads a digital version of the game from the server.
Darkness took one off my list. I only have a few left:
Crackdown 2
Condemned 2
Enchanted Arms
Infinite Undiscovery
Last Remnant (doubtful with the PS4 update)
Lego Lord of the Rings ( is this the only remaining lego game?)
Serious Sam Collection
Ninja Gaiden 2
Then a mess of old xbox games like Silent Hill 4 The Room.

This needs to happen so fucking much. Crazy how none of the Serious Sam games are playable on current-gen consoles.
I get that, does it mean that it constitutes a new license though?
The digital game is published on MS server. So agreements have to be certain they're in place before this digital game is allowed to be played on a new platform.
So i messed about with the settings in The Darkness and most of the control problems were coming from the auto aim, which is just terrible. Turned it off and now i can actually hit things, though i'm still not a fan of the reticle. Feeling better now about the shooting.
And the story just took a turn that i wasn't expecting. It's growing on me.I

Time for 505 Games to pull their wallet and buy the Ninja Gaiden IP from Tecmo, 'cause they're doing jack shit with it!
They have to know it's heavily requested at this point. It's my most wanted BC title too. Hoping it comes before games like DMC 5 and Sekiro come out.
Is it? Or is it just this echo chamber? This is not a rhetorical question; I'm actually curious if there's still an existing ranking/voting system in place somewhere as I thought the old User Voice one was gone.
I mean you may be right, I have tweeted to Xbox before about it with a decent amount of retweets and I see it mentioned all the time on Larry Hryb's twitter so maybe they don't know the extent of how many people want it but I feel like they must know IMO.
Not sure about the voting, I remember it existing but yeah have no idea if it's something they still follow or if it's still online.
They know. If they claim to listen to the fans, I am sure some of them even lurk around Reset.
Man, I hope Quantum of Solace and Bloodstone become BC, just so that I can play a James Bond game on the One. Better still, I hope Everything or Nothing is made BC...
(I know almost impossible due to licensing etc).

Is Midnight Club LA supposed to be available? On the Xbox when I select 'See Price', where the price usually appears, there's just the word 'Buy', plus the usual confirm/cancel buttons. On the web, after clicking 'See Price', there's only the title and screenshots, with nothing else apart from a a link to the manual.
Goddamn it - how did I not hear about this? Unusual for me to miss these things. :(
Weird that it still shows on the store on the console. Thanks for the info.
Without warning. That would explain it. I hope the rumors about a remaster are true. Guess I'll see if I can find a physical copy locally.
Lol at that users list. I'm imagining a day where Major Nelson tweets out a BC update and it's just titled "All of the Cave shooters".
And all 20 of us Cave fans on Era will cheer in unison
It's still cheap at EBgames if you live in Canada. It'll still download if you have the disc.

In 2018, Team Xbox added over 100 new titles to Backward Compatibility, bringing the full catalog to over 550 games – 57 of which are Xbox One X Enhanced. We're taking a break for the holidays, but stay tuned for more BC news in January. Until then, we'll see you on Xbox Live!
Aww. Oh well. They sure ended the year strong. Here's to a great 2019 (and hopefully some Original Xbox games).
They closed it out with a banger by bringing us The Darkness and really this year has had more of my most requested games than 2017, at least.
I am, however, quite disappointed there weren't any more Original Xbox games added. I was prepared for the rate of OG games to be far less, but not nearly this infrequent, to the extent that there's now been 8 months since the last wave dropped. I sure hope that a single round of Original Xbox games per calendar year isn't the norm going forward.
I've been wondering for a little while when Ace Combat 6 will officially become playable, especially now that Bamco is ramping up the marketing for Ace Combat 7.

Ace Combat 7 is releasing on January 18, so Ace Combat 6 has to be compatible around then. Maybe it'll become available the Tuesday before? So January 15? The BC program should be resuming then.
I played some Sonic Unleashed and Duke Nukem Forever tonight.
Sonic Unleashed is a lot harder to control than I remember. The first werehog stage took me 25 minutes to beat - that I did remember. Those stages are too long.
Also the framerate dropped noticeably when fighting a lot of enemies at once with lots of effects on screen. That surprised me as I'm on a One X.
Duke looks a lot rougher than I remember. Very blurry and low res. Load times are improved from what I remember but still pretty awful because of how frequent they are. I think there's a world where the good ideas in Duke aren't trapped in a bad game. Still a really interesting game from a history and tech perspective. I forgot it included a development timeline in the extras menu.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, MagnaCarta 2 for another that'd be really nice but probably unlikely.
Agreed, I feel like there's almost nothing for OG xbox.
I'm sure they know. I'm guessing it's a matter of getting it to work properly, iirc they only start working on specific games once the emulator shows it can handle them. Maybe NG2 just isn't quite there yet.
The good thing when games I don't care about become BC is that the chance of games I want to be BC increases every time.
I'm still waiting:

Great suggestion. This is a game that utterly deserves to be preserved through BC.
All the others, too, of course, but El Shaddai is one I hadn't hear anybody bring up before!
Hopefully, Xmas sales, I want to buy darkness 1 but don't have gold :(
All I want is Burnout 3. If they give us that then I won't ask for anything else. I mean, they already sell a digital version of it on the 360, so I'd hope that licensing isn't an issue with it.
Overall though, this has been a decent year. Lots of games that I didn't think would get BC. Lack of original Xbox and X enhanced 360 games has been disappointing though. It's also annoying how many 360 games for whatever reason don't have the forced 16X texture filtering. I've tried logging it as an issue, but I doubt it's high priority.

I've done you one better, recently.
It would be in my top 5 for future backwards compatible games, fo sho.
