MS just dropped it like a stone out of nowhere, the list has been growing pretty steadily but decided to call it quits at such a wrong time

Any chance we might see just ONE more update. I really want Timesplitters and James Bond EON, MGS2 also but that we will never see due to the controller

Same here. I never get rid of any of my old consoles/games. I always go back and play them eventually.

Well yeah i have an XBOX, but seriously, on 360 i have it hooked up to my HDTV, with the awesomeness of the 360 controller, the convenience of having all my saves in one place, and also not having to hook up two consoles at once, but most importantly, the excellent job the 360 does at upscaling

With an upcoming sequel, not doing Beyond Good and Evil would make as much sense as a game based on a Uwe Boll movie.

they dropped it last year as every title that they cud port that wud work sweet has been done. ones left are too ackward to emulate or not cost effective to do. them games mentioned were probally some of the first they tried to do, but it wasnt possible and the program was stopped by microsoft early this year/end last year. only people that will work on BC from now on are the original devs of the games and most aint bothering as they no money in the process to be made. emualting is never as good as running on the original kit. all id say is buy a old xbox back to play your games for like $30 , then search online for the things you can do to the xbox now without opening it up and they plenty of reasons other than msg2-s to have them and make it worth while for owning

let's move on.. xbox 360 is almost at the end of their cycle, why would they bother with xbox 1? after gears of war 2 came out, MS will be focusing on the xbox 3

MS just dropped it like a stone out of nowhere, the list has been growing pretty steadily but decided to call it quits at such a wrong time

Any chance we might see just ONE more update. I really want Timesplitters and James Bond EON, MGS2 also but that we will never see due to the controller

There are already over 450 backwards compatible titles, so it's not like MS have turned into Sony and dropped BC altogether.

Sure there are a few good games that people want adding to BC, but they just aren't worth the cost of getting them to work for MS - they won't get any more money for making them BC, and relatively few people will play them

Ehh no...

This gen is going to last till 2012, 360 has cost them so much money as it is and its now making a profit, its success is only growing.

Releasing a new console is the worst thing they can do. As for BC, while yeah its not the end of the world, its an excellent extra to have, i play more XBOX than 360

There are some games you just wonder why on Earth they dont have on the list, it would be nice if they adressed some really popular titles as their last update

BC is offically finished, but ONE last update would be fantastic

I'm surprised how nobody is talking about Beyond Good and Evil 2, yet they're talking about Left 4 Dead. Aren't people suckers for sequels?

nope. they haven't decided what's going to happen with it yet. there's a chance that someone else can pick it up and publish it. hopefully that happens.
