Xbox One Backwards Compatibility |OT| Who wants to pay for remasters?

... I had to search for Peace Walker to find it, because Konami thought it would be a good idea to call it MGS instead of Metal Gear Solid. Fascinating though.
360's moved away from points a long long time ago. If they still have points and haven't spent them, at some point you are just out of luck. Swim or die.
I thought they wanted their own racing game and that is why Forza was born? I thought there was some type of legality issue and that is why you don't see any PGR as backwards compatible.
They own both, but by that point in the PGR series, sales hadn't been growing. Hold-ups with releasing older PGR games likely relate to the licensed music.
I see.
I thought there was also a problem with trademarks and licenses to such. PGR literelly had every single landmark, and every store (subway, sbarros, McDonalds etc etc) it was the most intense recreation I have ever seen.
I've already started playing NG II again on my 360, such a fantastic game. Easily my favorite of the three, I love the environments, enemy design and gameplay, it's all there and is so solid. Hoping we will get it on BC soon, starting a new save to cloud save over if it ever shows up.
Correct. Go look at how the game was made and that should make the issue pretty clear.
Never say never as part of this effort is about working out new license deals that can be more future proof, however some games will have bigger hurdles in this area than others.
Seems like the package contains the three games as separate discs (1 for 1 and 2 for 2 and 3 each). I'd just have to assume they'd work just like the standalone games' discs but I don't really know since I don't have the trilogy package.
I'm pretty sure all of the games are broken out so it'll download each one just like any other 360 game.
What are the chances of Halo 1 & 2 getting some back compact treatment as Original Xbox releases?
Or does the existence of MCC render this unlikely? I believe Halo 3 was still released and enhanced after the launch of MCC but I don't know if any of the others are as likely?

All 360 era Halo games are BC regardless of the existence of MCC just fine so I think they'll show up eventually.
Anyone else playing or replaying Overlord? I bought it when it came out back in 2007, but realized I never finished it. Just redownloaded it and was reminded how fun this game is!
Forza was meant to attack GT. PGR was separate. But Blizzard had no interest in doing PGR 5 because they were unhappy with the hard milestones of Microsoft. So they went to Activision and got killed after Blur and James Bond.
Just started playing Dead Space.
One of my work mates bought this at launch and absolutely loved it. He was begging me to play it for ages. I don't even know why but I never got round to it. Intended on doing but just didn't. Eventually it pretty much became a meme between us and I told him I'd never play it on principle at that point, just to annoy him. It's been like that for years.
This weekend I randomly caved in and I'm so glad I did. Only up to Chapter 3 but it's a superb survival horror. Also I can't believe how good it looks for such an old game. I'm sure the darker colour pallet does it some favours but it looks damn good.

Aside from an enhanced frame rate, all three from the franchise really don't require a remaster. They're all incredibly gorgeous to this day, especially those outer space vistas in 2 and 3 OMFG.
Blame Warner. The multi-disc nut was cracked sometime ago but it's up to the publisher.
Yeah. Deus Ex Human Revolution I think was the first 2 disc game with a digital release or at least the first I knew (I only have the "Augmented Edition," but it looks like the standard edition is 2 discs too), but there's also Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2 and 3 ,and Halo 4 which all had digital releases and are all BC. Not to mention the 3 and 4 disc games Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey. It did take a long while for some of them to get digital copies it appears though, like the Mass Effect games, those JRPGs and Dead Space 2. Also Rage was Backwards Compatible and wasn't available digitally until a few months after it was added to the program. I don't think Doom 3 BFG Edition (while only being 1 disc) was ever available digitally either, and that's BC.
There's gotta be more, but those are just the games where I have a physical copy of the game.
That's what I figured, that it was a licensing issue but it didn't make sense since the disc version was available.
Adds to existing achievements you already unlocked. It's all the same account.
Another week... and another possible BC release is upon us. What will it be this week? Stay tuned, my fellow gamers :)
Mass Effect 3 had its multiplayer on the second disc though.
Same, I hope all the Microsoft Studios titles for 360 get X enhancements.
Lost Oddyssey
PGR 4
Viva Pinata 1 & 2
If I can get all of the above I can finally stop checking this thread so religiously each week!
After they added Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter to the BC program I was pretty sure GRAW 2 would follow shortly. It didn't and it has been almost a month.
This would be wonderful. Potential for C3 to have increased FPS that hit's 30's would be a blessing. Also potential for Crysis 1 would be fantasssssstic.
Shame so few X enhancements have released. Hoping we get one more decent sized wave in August
Still crossing my fingers for Ace Combat 6 to hit backwards compat. This has got to happen before the new one comes out to build hype, right? They wouldn't be cruel and release Assault Horizon... would they?
