I've been wanting to play The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Silent Hill 2, Deus Ex: Invisble War, Shenmue II, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and Beyond Good & Evil since I sold my Xbox for the 360 last year. I haven't heard shit since the last lame update. Are they still working on it, or did they just figure now is the time they can cut and run?

Probably... damn, I'd love to have Morrowind and Conker be B/C.
 
I would imagine that, since there is going to be a huge November for the 360 and a great early quarter next year, that maybe between December and January or February we could hear something. There hasn't really been any official news for this subject, but I would like to believe they are still working on it.

They should at least get all of their own games backwards compatible... I'm still amazed MS hasn't even done that.
 
I wanna get the original Buffy! I think Chaos Bleeds is BC, not the original:(

I had the original for Xbox..but got rid of it when I got rid of my xbox :(

That was an awesome game...
 
Also, I'd still love to play these games... Enclave, Buffy, Pirates: Legend of the Black Cat, Otogi, and THUG 2(I know it's on there, but it's unplayable).
 
Microsoft has officially committed itself to making its top sellers backward compatible. Here's a list I put together for a post at 360Arcadians of all the games that sold over one million copies for the original Xbox. The games in red are not yet backward compatible.
Halo 2 (7.75 million)
Halo: Combat Evolved (6.61 million)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (3 million)
Fable (2.39 million)
Grand Theft Auto: Double Pack (2.26 million)
Project Gotham Racing (2.14 million)
Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2.05 million)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1.95 million)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (1.70 million)
Need for Speed: Underground (1.64 million)
Star Wars: Battlefront (1.59 million)
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (1.58 million)
Project Gotham Racing 2 (1.56 million)
Dead or Alive 3 (1.54 million)
Madden NFL 2005 (1.45 million)
Madden NFL 2006 (1.44 million)
ESPN NFL 2K5 (1.41 million)
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow (1.41 million)
Medal of Honor: Frontline (1.40 million)
Star Wars: Battlefront II (1.36 million)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (1.35 million)
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon 2 (1.29 million)
Spider-Man: The Movie (1.26 million)
True Crime: Streets of LA (1.24 million)
Enter the Matrix (1.21 million)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (1.20 million)
Tony Hawk's Underground (1.17 million)
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (1.13 million)
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (1.11 million)
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (1.10 million)

I would hope that ESPN NFL 2K5 is the first in line to become backward compatible.

[quote name='AlienLX']Glad I kept my Xbox.. I had a feeling they would leave a bunch of games out in the cold like this.[/QUOTE]

I am too [I still have both of mine] , the save thing still bothers me though .
I shouldn't have to start all my games over , especially Forza and PGR2 [if they ever make it B/C ]
 
You would think Microsoft would have a large BC update just for some PR a few weeks prior to the new console launches. I just trade for Psychonauts, Otogi, and Otogi 2 in hopes they become BC...
 
[quote name='getmyrunon']Psychonauts... I want to see what all the hype is about![/QUOTE]

yep. Same here. I'd also like to see a few other games I never got around to trying out:

Psychonauts
Destroy All Humans
Mercenaries
Star Wars: Republic Commando
Conker
Advent Rising

Those are still some big titles, hopefully MS doesn't thow in the towel yet.
