Microsoft Announces Final Lineup of Backward Compatible Games on Xbox One

During the E3 2019 Inside Xbox episode today Microsoft announced the final wave of backward compatible games for the Xbox One.

[Christopher]

Too Human for free. I might be the only person happy about that.

[DaDrunkenJester]

I still have a sealed copy of that Haha

[sprinterboy]

More money than sense

[mikeslemonade]

Nobody cares about BC. It’s all about game pass and that’s how MS will win next gen.

[darthv72]

I like that game. It holds up surprisingly well for an early 360 title.

[gamertk421]

Great game, just buggy

[RememberThe357]

And super short.

[IRetrouk]

I enjoyed it, thought it was given an overly harsh time.

[Minute Man 721]

It's not free, just checked

[Christopher]

Not yet, but they said it would be in the stream. Don't buy it yet.

[Kribwalker]

I’m excited on that one. Loved that game

[meep316]

It was a good game that got pooped on for reasons mostly unrelated to the game itself.

[UnHoly_One]

I loved Too Human.

[Father__Merrin]

If you remember this was going to be a trilogy the game wasn't that bad tbh

[TGGJustin]

It's a great lineup of games but man can't believe they are done now. No more titles after this.

[Christopher]

They could come back once they've got Skarlet handled.

[darthv72]

for now at least. I got a feeling there will be others as time goes on.

[porkChop]

From what I understand, the team is moving to BC on Scarlett. They made a comment in the Scarlett video about having all gens of Xbox moving forward.

[mkis007]

The written quote I read said everything available through bc on xb1 not everything in general. That includes all gens, just not all games on all gens.

[alb1899]

They are done with 360 titles. Every xboxone game will be on the next generation.

[Spurg]

Too Human is an IP that needs to come back

[timotim]

It had tons of potential...it really did. The universe they created was very well put together, it just lacked in the animation and mechanic areas, which are two very important areas. And I believe Silicon Knights owns the IP right?

[meep316]

I think there is a ton of legal issues holding that back.

[DillyDilly]

I'd have liked some of the Original XBOX Star Wars games :(

[coolbeans]

The majority of OG Xbox Star Wars have been BC for about a year now. :P

[DillyDilly]

Not the ones like Obi-Wan etc there are still plenty missing

[coolbeans]

Ah I gotcha. You just threw me off with "some of..." in the first comment.

Yeah, Obi-Wan would've been a nice blast from the past. Wasn't all too great but I liked how this and Jedi Power Battles gave us a small taste of Masters on the Jedi Council pulling their own weight.

[DillyDilly]

I dont htink Jedi Power Battles was ever on XBOX. Just PS1 & Dreamcast if I remember correctly

[coolbeans]

It's true, it never made it to Xbox. I was just bringing that one up in relation to seeing The Jedi Council in action--regardless of platform.

[IRetrouk]

Why no pgr 3 and 4? Two of the very best arcade racers of their gen, its criminal.

[darthv72]

Maybe they couldnt secure the license from Activision, who owned (and closed) Bizarre Creations???

[TheRacingX]

MS published those titles, and I think holds the IP to it.....I think they dont want to release them as may feel it would take away from Forza Horizon sales, as well all the car licensing may be a big issue as well, probably more so....I love the Project Gotham games too, sadly I think they will remain 360 and OGX treasures.

[IRetrouk]

More than likely to be fair, its just a shame, those games, especially 4, still hold up well, I still have my 360 and disc though so can still scratch the itch, my most played arcade racer last gen was pgr 4, no other feeling like late breaking and taking the corner hard to beat another racer out of it, love them games lol

[Mulando]

They also did not make all Forza titles compatible. This might be a licensing issue with music and cars.
But it seems like many publisher hadn't given their "OK" (or they just don't exist anymore) for a bc version. MS only needed their ok to make it compatible.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

The PGR IP is owned my Microsoft. However, racing games have lots of licensing, some of the licenses in PGR might not be renewable. We generally don't see licensed games, sports and racing games being added to BC.

[Father__Merrin]

I'd second that but it will be difficult to licence with all the real cars and music etc best keep it as a cherished memory now wish those days were back

[Automatic79]

Love the lineup of titles announced Enslaved, Too Human and original Splinter Cells.

[PhoenixUp]

Makes me wish Sony would add more titles to PS2 Classics for PS4

[umair_s51]

How I long to see ps3 backwards compatibility on ps5

[mkis007]

They have to get rid of the ps3 blades eventually for psnow , so there is hope. They are not going to just keep manufacturing them for this one area.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

They will probably just port/remaster all of the remaining big PS3 1st and 2nd party games, to ensure they live on beyond the PS3. I wouldn't be surprised to see a Killzone Collection, Resistance Collection, Motorstorm Collection, God of War Collection, (including the PSP GoW games), Infamous Collection, Metal Gear Solid Collection with MGS4, and hopefully one day, a Socom Collection. If they bring these to PS4/PS5 like they did with GoW3, TLoU, and the Uncharted Collection, then they will have all the bases covered.

[TheRacingX]

so they can just charge you for them? again?

[81BX]

Was sad till I saw the scarlett comment

[TheRacingX]

Armed and Dangerous is a well done game, humor, action....worth checking out

[TheRacingX]

Was really hoping for a big push at the end , alot of great titles were left out..... lets hope Scarlett goes with FULL BC...

[starchild]

Did Tenchu Z ever get added? I'm sorry but I just haven't followed this closely enough. As a longtime Tenchu fan I really loved that game.

[JokerBoy422]

Xbox made Splinter Cell fans happier than Ubisoft this E3!

[jcole97]

man i was hoping max payne 3 would make it

[timotim]

Microsoft has done a phenomenal job this generation with BC. Hats off to them for the amazing work they were able to do. Innovating when everyone else in the console space forgot about it and focused instead on remasters. They deserve our credit. Can't wait to see what they are able to pull off in the future.

[Master of Unlocking]

They sure did, but as expected it's only a small fraction of Xbox 360 games that have been made to work on the Xbox One, probably not nearly enough to make a sizeable portion of Xbox360 owners want to part with their system without having regrets.

[timotim]

No...it isn't all BC games, but it is 100% better than what anyone else is doing with BC.

Ill take a fraction of the games if they are enhanced and perform and look better than they ever have in the past...

[Grown Folks Talk]

Welcome Sam Fisher. #Finally

[timotim]

Installing Chaos Theory as we speak! Amazing.

[Max_Eckhardt]

Quitters. Meh.

[Onyx13]

Need Jet Grind Radio Future....

:(

[GameStallion]

Splinter Cell Double Agent was the first Xbox 360 game I played. I’m feeling weirdly nostalgic thinking about it.

[YodaCracker]

The last true, traditional SC game.

[mark_parch]

I loved double agent

[Grown Folks Talk]

The OG Xbox version is much better than the 360 version IMO. It's closer to Chaos Theory.

[Tra-D214]

Was hoping for F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R 2

[The-Matrix-has-you]

I was really really hoping for Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. Great support though. Really happy with what they released.

[Saranya]

What about N3?

[Sgt_Slaughter]

I get OG Xbox games weren't a high priority for them to add, but it was painful slow and now there's hardly any for Xbox One overall.

[stefd75]

damn it No Jet Set Radio Future, i was hoping for that

[battlegrog]

DIdnt they get almost every backward game they could so far anyways ? I mean project gotham racing studio was shut down and rights i think activison so that wont happen. But just double checking what they mean by this ? So instead of focusing on old games they will focus now on making sure all 3 of the generation of games they have locked down now will work on the next gen ?

[meep316]

I think its time I play the original perfect dark.

[Zerobalance]

Indyyyyyy

[BadElf]

From Dust. Nice.

[Zerobalance]

When??

[Bercilak]

No "Alpha Protocol". What a bummer.

[XBManiac]

And Project Gotham Racing?

[obidanshinobi]

No Forza 4 and Test Drive Unlimited 2.
Merde.

[DasTier]

Upsetting that we’re never gonna get burnout 3.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

All of the major games I wanted as backwards compatible titles, came to be, at least for Xbox 360. For original Xbox, I wish they would have made Rainbow Six 3, Ghost Recon, Ghost Recon: Island Thunder and Ghost Recon 2 backwards compatible. Not a huge deal, but it would have been nice.

[Sonicjp]

I still want Lollipop Chainsaw to be put on. Damn

[HighPlayer28]

Looking at BC for Xbox shows just how much less support they have now compared to back then during the OG and 360 yrs.

[Orionsangel]

That's a shame. Too many great games on 360 we didn't get on Xbox One.

[Orionsangel]

I never got Switchball.

[Father__Merrin]

I think that's it now u might find one or two during cross promotions at the end of the day they can't re licensing all these games. It's a large selection many favourites are there shame no PGR3
