Support NeoGAF

[Magic Carpet]

I've seen Oddworld munches Odysey and Beutiful Katamari on back compat before, or at least they were rereleased as part of Gold at some point.
DOA4 I can move to to the back compat shelf with all my others.

 

[Nikana]

It's 2 years in France if I remember, It's better I wait some time before doing a return ( bought it day one ) now is packed with new games releases, maybe in january / february, if it's only DVD's games that's not a huge bummer, I still can bought them digitally when on sales

Yyou can check warranty status on Xbox Support website. At least here in the states. Give it a whirl!

 

[Fat Frog]

This is the end, as In there never adding any more?

Just brought binary domain off eBay for £6 brand new and sealed for the xbox, loved that game on ps3.

I guess you won't miss the 25FPS 640p from that era

 

[Punished Miku]

The story intro for Gunvalkyrie is so bat shit insane lol. Love it.

 

[Space Runaway]

Shit, Otogi is finally bc.

 

[Estocolmo]

Sad fact that this is the last batch and we won’t se games like Rez, Fez and Crimson Skies again. But seeing these 76 game with games featuring FEAR and DOA is fantastic.

THANK YOU MICROSOFT AND XBOX TEAM.

 

[Fat Frog]

Last batch ? Lost Odyssey ?

 

[rubenburgt]

Alright. The console wars is over guys.
Xbox clearly won.

Sorry for your loss Sega, but try releasing a console the next time.

Jokes aside, this is pretty cool.

 

[Nikana]

Already been on BC for awhile.

 

[Kacho]

Is Max Payne 3 available digitally? I see the first two games on the shop but not 3.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

The story intro for Gunvalkyrie is so bat shit insane lol. Love it.

Miku, did you play it back in the day ? If not, how are you liking it ?
Played it back in the day and...i liked it (loved Smilebit games, that 60fps gameplay...) but i'm afraid that if i buy it/play it now i will hate it since i don't think it has aged well compared to other games of that era - with the controls being the culprit here as they weren't good to begin with, also, with the shit-tastic quality of the new xbox controllers, pressing in the analogue stick to perform a roll 4576587 times a minute that the game requires i think i'm gonna bust my joypad g'dammit

I played it back in the day. The controls are a bit of a nightmare but I still love the game with all its jank lol. Just use the lock on shot and dash around. The music is hilarious too. Im really into it but yeah, most people should maybe watch out.

Surprisingly the game has quick resume too.

 

[Ezquimacore]

first time fallout new vegas is playable on a console

 

[thatJohann]

How do I find these games? Can’t find any on Xbox store

 

[Kokoloko85]

No Jet Set Radio Future?
literally the only game I wanted

 

[Zero7]

Ridge Racer 6! I got my only wish. Thank you Microsoft

 

[HYDE]

Besides the Otogi games and Skate 2, this update is ok.
Original Ninja Gaiden and Halos are noticeably absent.

 

[Aldynes]

Could be the laser. I am not an expert on lasers by any means but its possible that the laser for DVDs(blu rays use different laser I believe) died. Under warranty?

Thanks a lot my friend for your help, I really appreciate it gonna send it to microsoft for repairs when it's quiet on the game releases side, it's under warranty until january 2023

OG NG would have been nice for collectors.

 

[SirTerry-T]

You can now play the best 3rd person action game ever made on Series consoles. How cool is that?

I'm talking about Max Payne 2, obviously.

Surely you meant Fiddy's game???!!?

 

[Wonko_C]

Unfortunately it's the last of it.

Microsoft’s Xbox backward compatibility program returns with 76 new games

This is the final addition of games to mark 20 years of Xbox.

www.theverge.com

That's unfortunate. I forgot about the licensing thing.

 

[Robochobo]

No Oddworld Strangers Wrath

 

[Pallas]

Last batch ? Lost Odyssey ?

Already been on BC for awhile.

Yeah infact they were giving it away for free when it became backwards compatible. It was a pretty big step because they had issues making multiple disc games backwards compatible at the time.

Cheers mate/gal

Don't know, i really wanted for the Otogi games to be BC but at 20 bucks each i think i'm going to wait a little bit.
Might as well get Binary domain sice it runs at 60fps now (don't know about the resolution) and it's only 15 eurotrons.

Boys, this is really a bittersweet moment, i mean, yeah, we got 70 games and all (with many of them being good) but this is the end and it's a g'damn shame that MANY other games won't return.I'd have liked for Chainsaw Lollipop (licensing nightmare pt1), Kingdom Under fire Circle of doom, JSRF (licensing nightmare pt2), both of the Ace Combat games (6 & Assault Horizon, licensing nightmare pt 3), which brings me to : why the fuck are the Armored Core games not on the list ? I mean, they released the Otogi games ffs, why not the Armored Core ones too ? they're all from FROM SOFT g'dammit and there's no music licenses or otherwise to speak of, really strange...Same for JSRF,, yeah, there's music involved but they released JGR a couple of years back with no problems, i just don't get it.

I too wish for more, but luckily Fez has been part of BC for quite some time now.

Crimson skies is available and on game pass.

 

[Fredrik]

Why are there regional differences in 2021?! Good job turning awesome news into something bad! I tried faking an US adress with some generator, still won’t let me buy Ridge Racer 6, it just show an error message

 

[DonJorginho]

So fucking upset that the only two BC games I want are the only two not on the store.

(Max Payne 3, Lego Lord Of The Rings)

 

[cireza]

Awesome work form MS on BC. Even if it reaches an end, this last batch includes several games and enhancements I was waiting for, especially on SEGA published games.

Both Otogi and Gunvalkyrie is an awesome addition. 60fps on the three Sonic games as well. Fantastic.

 

[Bergoglio]

Why Revenge of the Sith is on payment?

Max Payne 3 was, I have it digitally.

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

Man, Microsoft is doing an amazing job with backwards compatibility.

 

[DonJorginho]

not finding it here in the UK as of now

I don't think the games are live yet? Paid for DOA2 at the weekend and it didn't let me download it.

 

[intbal]

Couldn't find my Timesplitters 3 disc. Installing Max Payne 2. Maybe I'll make this my first ever Twitch stream.

 

[nush]

It will probably come back, they have to make it available online for sale unless they specifically say it's did only. Other games came back that way I remember.

 

[DonJorginho]

let's hope, I sold my Series X and kept my Series S so this would be a real kick up the ass if they don't come back

Nikana
Lost Odyssey isn't at 60FPS

 

[AntonioBanderasXsX]

Nice but still need:

PGR
Midtown Madness
Rallisport Challenge

 

[Ma-Yuan]

Binary Domain yeah!

 

[Fredrik]

Hope you’re right this is too much of an emotional roller coaster for me, haven’t played a Ridge Racer in 15 years, I was so excited to see the BC news. If you can’t buy it just because you’re not in the US then woohoo for US people and fuck the rest of us

 

[AJUMP23]

Lego: LOTR was fun. Cool to see it get added.

 

[Esppiral]

Cloning Clyde is currently free.

 

[pasterpl]

Nice but still need:

PGR
Midtown Madness
Rallisport Challenge

Those probably will never happen, due to licenses.

 

[aries_71]

Xbox division is on fire. They are killing it, no doubt.

 

[splattered]

Everyone wants to jump on the remaster train now :/ Maybe in 6 months we will get a new batch again.

Ironically the disc is region free.

Anyway, finally I can hopefully lay this disc to rest away in the folder of games that I have digital versions of now from it's long term life as the disc I have always in the drive of my 360.

Ok, 60 fps isn't mandatory for RPGs but admit 30 fps is a pity for one of the best game of that era. (lost odyssey)

I mean I think we all would take more frames.

 

[BigBooper]

Several games I'm excited for. Haven't seen anyone mention Sacred 2 yet. Loved it back in the day.
