I understand why COD games are still 15 bucks on sale, they still sell fucktons, but I'll never understand why Timeshift never gets decent prices. Didn't the game pretty much bomb?

It's less to do with how it sold and more to do with the policy of its publisher. Activision doesn't deeply discount their games.

Max Payne 3, Syndicate, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Bastion and Assault Heroes 1 (why is only 2 BC?) are what I wanna see.

I feel like I'm the only person who actually wants Homefront to become BC. Like the campaign was short and the multiplayer servers are down but I just have such fond memories of the game for some reason. Really wish Deep Silver would have brought the servers back up when they acquired the IP. Was a fantastic mix of CoD and Battlefield with 32 players.

Not getting my hopes up for anything since yesterday was Labor Day in the US, but I'm still gonna cross my fingers for Two Worlds and Two Worlds II (would prefer 2 over 1, but I'll take 'em both).

Lol, I know it's BC. I was referring to it being on sale.

Waiting for dante's inferno to go on sale
Maybe we should do this since MauroNL's post in on the last page if you're 25p/p.

Why doesn't the DLC for BC games ever seem to go on sale? The games are regularly reduced to a third of the price of some DLC.

I'd be disappointed if Metal Gear Solid HD Collection Rumble Roses XX isn't announced today.

They usually don't release anything when new games come out during the same week. For some twisted reason, they are treating PUBG as a new game.

Hoping for MGS HD Collection today. It's the 20th anniversary after all!

Lets hope so.

This is the day, I feel it in my fingers.

Was going to post the same thing.

I want nothing more (game wise) than having this on my Xbox One. Though being the day after a US holiday, I'm not expecting anything.

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?

Exactly. I'm not quite sure why you contradicted yourself.

You are misunderstanding me. I was being sarcastic.

There's 0 reason why there's no new BC games today. (Except for the PUBG final release which is questionable)

You said they have the right for holidays. It doesn't work that way. These BC games have been finished for a while and MS slowly delivers them on a weekly manner.

And the holiday was yesterday. Today is 100 percent production for all these companies. PUBG is the reason for lack of update IMO.

They don't stagger out updates for backwards compatibility. They're not purposely sitting on certain games for more than a week at a time. They're not Nintendo.

From what I gather from Reset..one of the members found a sheet? Or some type of insider of what's coming up. Games like Splinter Cell (before it came out) , max payne 3, etc were all in the list.
If is being updated weekly in real time, that's news to me.

But how hard is it for them to update old games for BC? I thought the BC emulation solution handles pretty much everything?

Correct. These are games that the BC team are testing. The games that are being tested take a while since they may have certain emulation problems that prevent them from being playable on Xbox One. Also, just because certain games are being tested doesn't necessarily mean that they're coming soon. Other issues like licensing could prevent them from ever being released.

Each game has to be thoroughly tested. That member I believe knows certain testers gamertags and can see what games the'yre currently playing/testing. I could be wrong about this.
