Next batch of backward compatible games?

[Jerry]

So when does Microsoft release the update for the next batch of backward compatible games? I got the 360 last week and probably the ONE game from the original xbox that i would have to play on the 360 is MVP 2005 (or the best baseball game made but won't make anymore because EA doesn't have the exclusive rights to MLB anymore). I can't believe they haven't made that game backward compatible yet. Its a whole year old and its a lot better than that ****ty buggy baseball game that was released this year.

The latest update hit XBL this week.

[THWIP*]

GODDAMN, I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE WHINING AND WONDERING ABOUT THE STUPID BC ISSUE. HERE'S THE F***ING LIST, WHICH GETS UPDATED ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS. BOOKMARK IT, AND CHECK BACK ABOUT THAT OFTEN, AND YOU'LL ALWAYS BE UP TO DATE ON WHAT LAST-GEN GAMES YOU CAN PLAY ON YOUR NEXT-GEN '360'.

I know...why isnt the first one BC and the 2nd one is? The first one was x-box exclusive and everything...and from what I hear, a much better game

I ve seen the list, I just didn't know the usual time frame in which they update it. Settle down and stop screaming. Plus my point stands, MVP 05 is currently the best baseball game out there, it should be compatible by now, its been over a year.

Oh yeah, it was a much better game.

It's ridiculous that first party games like Conker still aren't BC, they have the damn source code for Christ's sake !

Conker has better graphics than Gears of War, and as such, the brilliant coding needs even more brilliant coding for emulation.

 

[Manny Calavera]

No no no, they don't need to emulate anything, they have the source code! They can recompile for PPC, run it on one thread of one core (more than enough), and voila, you're done. The HDD is there and the video card is direct x compatible and would be able to handle all of Conker's DX8.1 calls natively, so seriously, there is no reason not to port that game, unless the netcode is a problem or something.

Then you'd have to buy it again.

 

[Manny Calavera]

Which I'd happily do if they'd just get it working

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Then it would be a tri-console game, spanning three generations.

Why are you two never on Live? I have to play with the likes of Evan and Byrkee

 

[Manny Calavera]

I get on live occasionally, but I'm in class mostly, or asleep, so I'm not online as much as I'd like. I'm going to play DOA4 with you one day, I swear

 

[Axid]

What? Right now? Cool. Bye.

 

[WhatsHisFace]

I won't be online for... a while.

 

[Axid]

 

[WhatsHisFace]

Well at least I have an account.

 

[Manny Calavera]

I'm getting online, but only because I'm supposed to meet a friend from school for Halo 2, sorry
