Gamervision: "At an EA event yesterday, I sat down with Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director for Army of Two: The 40th Day. Before picking up a controller, we discussed the faults of the original title. While it enjoyed moderate critical success, most agreed that the game's tone was twelve kinds of immature and the cooperative gameplay often felt forced. The core principles of a great shooter were in place, but needing to cooperatively snipe or spin in circles in slow motion always felt forced, and got in the way of the game feeling smooth. Alex agreed with all of these points, and cited his experience at Maxis and work on Spore and The Sims as his hearthstone for working on The 40th Day. The situations and stories people enjoy the most are the ones they help create, and that was the goal in the sequel to Army of Two.
They've learned from their mistakes, Alex explained, and have built the game in response to criticisms of the first title. One thing he said resonated to me: they want to "embrace the way people already play.""

Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."
The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago
Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.
Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.
Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.
And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.
As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.

Yep, we're doing that again this week with the multitude of Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains found in the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 18th-24th August 2020. And it's helped that the Ultimate Game Sale is included too."
Neil writes: "With the delay of many AAA titles, and the move into the summer period, it is still a little quiet on the new games front. But that in turn at least gives us the chance to crack on with knuckling down with our huge list of older games that we've been meaning to play. It does however also mean that in order to keep that backlog list topped up, even more Xbox games will need to be purchased - and that is where the latest Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale comes in. The latest one - that working between the 7th-13th July 2020 - offers plenty of great discounts on numerous Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles."
This game is looking interesting.

At first they were referred to as morality moments, but that’s a phrase Alex Hutchinson wishes was never put out. It’s about gray areas in The 40th Day, highlighting the fact that, when put in a situation that’s live or die, difficult choices need to be made. It’s damned if you do damned if you don’t, whereas the term morality assumes there’s a good and a bad. It’s not Fable, where the options are “kill the baby” or “save the world.” We were told of a scenario where the players can either kill a guard and take some weapons, or leave without them.

That quote above sounds a lot like inFAMOUS Karma system, but I guess the author of this preview hasnt played it, only Fable. Too many xbox fans on blogs and web gaming sites.
