Didn't they announce last year that they were done until the new year, at the end of Nov?

Barrel Cannon Thanks! Yeah, it's a nice cover. It's a nice thing to have. Hopefully it gets added at some point.
As to your other suggestion, unfortunately my Xbox finally gave up the ghost last year :( I keep thinking about grabbing another one, but honestly I'd rather get these games in the BC catalog.

The cost to fix it might not be worth it, but I'd open it up and take a look if you have a torx screwdriver if I were you. Sometimes it's simple fix.
I do actually have a couple of torx knocking about somewhere... might take a look over the weekend, even if out of simple curiosity.
The clock capacitor might have leaked over part of the board. Google for instructions, simple fix and clean job.
VG Tech framerate tests the first Castlevania Lords of Shadow on Xbox One and Xbox One X:
Game used to be uncapped but rarely came beoynd 30 fps, it used to dip like hell down to the twenties and even under (lovely 14fps anyone?!), on the One family it's capped at 30. On One/S it's fairly close to 30, but falls into the mid 20s, while X nails it to the 30 mark.

In work so cant watch the vid but that's very disappointing that it has a cap on BC release. action games obviously benefit greatly from 60 fps. seeing as its a cap that's been retroactively added maybe the frame pacing issues on stock xbox hardware were too noticeable.
Give it another 6 hours and then check again.
The VG Tech guy says it helps the framepacing issues, and my guess is maybe since the 360 only managed to reach 45fps at one point maybe shows that it won't be a 60fps lock on X either. May aswell remove it then.
Have any other games capped the framerate? Gta4 is quite famous for being unlocked on Xbox One X and the uneven framerate is pretty jarring. I'd love the option to cap it at 30fps when using backwards compatibility.
One simple way would be to force the console to output 30 Hz, it may work and most TVs should support it.
It would be interesting to know how the game would react.
For example with 120 Hz in 1080p, some games with double buffering like Cities Skylines can render at 40 FPS instead of 30 when 60 is not possible.
Stranger things have happened in backwards compatibility-land, but I assume it's a tough licensing issue. These kind of major franchise movie-based games tend to have the licenses all over the place, possibly at multiple different companies and likely conceded as temporary licenses too. I don't see them going through such annoyances.
While we're playing the 'what chance' game, how about:
- lollipop chainsaw?
- anarchy reigns?
- lollipop chainsaw?
- anarchy reigns?
Assassins Creed 3 had a cap added as well if I recall, Crysis 1 also now has a 30FPS cap. Whether these are implemented or side effects of the emulation vsync is unclear.
At least in Japan, the game is listed on the Xbox marketplace and can still be bought digitally so music licenses appear to be intact for now.

Has Crysis been updated since DF looked at them? It seemed to spike into 31-31 fps at times.
Don't think so, the frame pacing in Crysis is really unfortunate. Maybe it'll be fixed in an X Enhanced patch, one can dream.
Would love both of these, lollipop chainsaw i wouldnt lose any sleep over if it never happens but Anarchy Reigns deserves to make the jump, just for that badass ost alone!
For me id love to see
-Syndicate
-Castlevania: Harmony of Despair
-The Darkness
Yep!
Chaos Theory is at least somewhat feasible, since it's already available as an Xbox Original for 360.
I think all the oXbox games made BC so far have been available as Xbox Originals prior to being made BC.
Was Mercenaries? That game had significant issues with the 360 emulator, though I've no idea if that was just for the disc.
The Darkness is suddenly available on the Xbox 360 digital marketplace again.

I'm pretty certain The Darkness has been available on the marketplace and was never delisted.
Lmfaoo i just hate when characters i like go out.
it wasn't bad it's just me liking cheesy happy endings lmao
Uhhhh,
It's when john dies and you play as his son right? it's dope but i just didn't wanna see john die i guess
There is a new mission as Jack, which is the real last proper thing, but maybe you've done it.
Oh really? I looked at the map and didn't see anything.
Do I have to go on the train or something?
No offense to the guy, but it's quite premature (for anyone) to be making uneducated assumptions regarding any form of "BC being dead" just yet.
It's the cycle of Xbox BC.
- Wow awesome selection of new releases, I hope they do xxxx next!
- How long has it been since the last release? Is there any news?
- It's been months now, what's happened to BC?
- I think it's safe now to call BC dead..
- Wow awesome new releases! I hope they do xxxx next!

While I agree with you there I do think he still has a point. It seems to be more of a marketing and bounce back move from Microsoft to get attention.
I hope I'm wrong though, I want as many cool OG Xbox games as we can get.
