Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
Totally ridiculous comment.
The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.
Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.
Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.
And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.
You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.
Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.
Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.
Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.
They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.
At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.
Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.
Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
That's the point of the game, idiot.
Massive, Action, Game. What were you expecting? Cutscenes? Chocobo summons?
Edit: I just watched the stage demo again. Personally, I think it looks fun and quite layered in it's strategy. The separate objectives and optional air-strikes are pretty cool. The commander/ grunt interaction is also really well done. Oh, and it looks great for a multi-player battleground. Not an easy feat. Did I mention that it will be FREE TO PLAY? Jesus, some people just aren't happy, I suppose.
@syvergy. I did read the article in it's entirety. And I think you touched on the key issue there, it's HIS EXPERIENCE AND OPINION. What I've seen, with my eyes, tells a different story. Most of the games that I've loved this gen are easily hovering at the 80% or lower average on Metacritic (Lost Odyssey, Valkyria Chronicles), so it's evident that the "professionals" and I are usually well apart in our opinions. I'll reserve my final judgment until I play the game myself of course, but a preview is just another person's opinion, which is always to be taken with a grain of salt.
Oh, and the article is written in that smarmy, pedantic way that I hate so much. Take it to Edge or Eurogamer, I say.
I wanted a warzone and they promised a warzone.
I'm overlooking "pretty good" graphics for gameplay.
Everything else is secondary IMO.
Edit :
And that's all I want.
A warzone with objectives,loads of people and a decent level of weapons and/or customisation.
I don't need 3 million types of land sea and air vehicles or Killzone 2 graphics just addictive fun.
As long as it isn't laggy on release this is a day one for me.
The E3 demo didn't really set the world alight.
A big whoop when it became clear a full 256 person game was to be demo'd but then, well, a whole lot of not much really.
Seems like the world just isn't ready for 256 people to try and play a real time action game together. Resistance did about as good a job as I've seen with larger numbers but all in all, it's not the number of players that makes the game fun.
Over and above the the technical conquest of getting 256 people in a single PS3 game instance, I'm not sure this is looking particularly worthwhile. I'd love this to be a worthy SOCOM replacement but it doesn't look like it's there.

Planetside was prolly the first MMOFPS and that didn't offer much more than alot of FPS games out there the fact that the battles where so big and intense is what made it so good.. planetside was the best FPS experience ive ever had.. but i doubt MAG will have as many tanks and aircraft.. on the battlefield as planetside had.. but it should still be good..
Oh SOE stop supporting Everquest and SWG these games are soooo dead.. am not impressed by the agency either! they should make a Planetside 2!!! how i miss a collum of 30 tanks rolling down on a base! with 25 manned planes behind you!
Gamers really have double standards these days.
If MW2 comes out as a normal FPS with nothing special at all,gamers will think it's amazing and impressive.
If MAG comes out as a similar FPS to MW2 but with a much larger scale of battle and more content,people will still call it generic and disappointing.
