The only xbox1 game that i play on my 360 is halo 2 online. Its awesome playing it online on my 20.1" widescreen LCD monitor! HD Halo! haha

Out of 18 Xbox games I have, only 4 are BC supported. Until this list is at least three times larger, I will keep my original XBox and pass the 360. I can't even imagine what's in stock for us when it comes the time to upgrade to XBox 720 (or whatever the call it to make it look superior to the PS4).

actually MS owns the intelectual property rights to the xbox 360 hardware which they didnt own the original xbox rights so they couldn't stick original xbox hardware in the 360 to make its bc with all the xbox 1 games. but when the xbox 720 comes out it'll be able to play any 360 game quite easily

I dunno. The intelectual property issue is not that relevant as the processor change is, which can be taken care of with a good JIT compiler. Games were developed using the XDK, which is Direct X based, and there is no issue to run Direct X games on PC with either ATI or nVidia cards, for instance. So a change of video processors does not impact that much. As for the north/south bridge designed by nVidia, this may pose problems, however, the emulator profiles should take care of that. From my point of view, the 360 is selling well without BC, so MS will simply let go of it sooner or later, and then I will have to throw away my XBox games along with my XBox once it dies.

What worries me is not that MS will or will not be able to stick an 360 inside a future "Xbox 720", but that they simply won't do it because the 360 showed them that players don't care that much for BC: the 360 is going to sell in two years more the original box has sold on its entire life cycle, all without a decent BC feature. It's quite easy to see the picture. If this reduces production costs, and increases revenues, and average players don't care, they got the green light to do so.

i cant believe burnout 3 isnt supported for it thats just daft tbh i play forza and halo online thru it tho

FINALLY!

A new poll

HALO 2 BABY!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOT!

For Halo 2 exclusively. Which is pretty much teh only game I play on my 360 due to a lack fo available worthy titles.

same here.. I only play halo 2 and some demos from the 360 Arcade

What about the option "No because I'm too poor to afford a 360 hard drive?"

I'd like to see compatibility with Project Zero II and Burnout 3... and MAMEdOX

I play it only for halo 2. Although halo 2 is played more on my 360 than any other game, I do like alot of 360 games. The thing is I just love halo 2. Most weekends I just spend playing halo 2 all weekend. Then if I run into some modders or just plain lose really bad then I switch to another game for a couple hours and go back to halo 2. But with Saint's Row coming out tommorow at midnight, I am going to be spending alot of time playing that with no halo 2 at all. Then gears of war will probably put halo 2 in the closet until halo 3 comes out.

lol, i clearly picked the wrong one O_o...

I came to the realization that the only game I play on my 360, regardless of it being for xbox or 360.. is Halo 2.. that god damn game wont let me have my life back!!!!

I'm not happy that they are not updating backwards compat with certain games because newer ones are coming out i.e. NCAA football 2006 won't work to make you buy the new 07.

If my 360 would stop locking up during Halo 2, then maybe I would use this feature more. Two Xbox 360s later and it still locks up. Haha, I give up.

ditto

id use bc alot more if def jam and mech assault were supported , but h2 adn forza work fine

From the posts I have seen above:

Glad to:
(1) see a new poll finally!
(2) know that I am not alone - the only disc that has been in my 360 over the past several months is HALO 2, although Gears of War may be worth looking at...

(And yes, I know how to use the quote feature, but it made this post really long with all of the wasted space from multiple quotes)

your telling me your not gonna get hooked on saints row? that is gonna keep me occupied until gears then that will keep me occupied until halo 3. those 2 games will cut my halo 2 time in half then of course halo 3 will cut it to less than 0.0001% of the time only because of friends without 360's lol.

My xbox1 is all i need, and no im not too poor to afford the 360 i think its just way over rated.

I would love to see Republic Commando on the 360,really wish M$ would make it happen

Ive always read the backward compaltiy list at the video store and the one title that I lave isnt on there... mercenaries. hopefully just case will vill my void.

The only game I play in the 360 is Fuzion Frenzy and the only reason I play it on the 360 is because of the wireless controllers (it's not like graphics really matter for that title). Of course I'm sure one FF2 comes out this fall I wont be playing it much anymore.

of course out of the 30 something Xbox1 games I own 23 are BC which is pretty good IMO. when the list first came out there were only 4 that were BC so they've definitely improved it.

Regardless I find more interesting stuff on the 360 most of the time so BC is pretty useless to me, I wouldn't have cared much if it wasn't even a feature.

XBOX720 LOL

I think they will call it XBOX 1080 because all the games are already 720(p)

Forza and MechAssault 2 are the only xbox games I care to play in HD. Forza is already on the list.........and Forza 2 is due out soon anyways........still would like to play MechAssault2 in HD with extra AA though..........

Yeah... like almost everyone. Halo 2 is the choice there, but sometimes I use the 360 for Halo1 to put up a small Xbox lan of 8 people with my good ol' Xbox.

I'd be a little more satisfied if BC ran Mercenaries... Grrrr...

I really want to use my 360 for halo2 due to my HD tv but i'm forced to use my original xbox when some of the maps either don't load or take an age to do so.

They should have at least made every BC game 480p compatible. For us PAL users it's better to play on the original Xbox with 480p enabled than the terrible PAL picture the 360 gives.

Midtown Madness 3 BC would be nice too!

Same here , Way too over rated and + ill wait till the H3 bundle come out if no bundle, well ill buy both when H3 come out

All I can say is, "Project Gotham, Project Gotham, Project Gotham." Why does no one listen?

-Duck!

halo 2 is all i play via the emulation... 360 is very tight!

yesterday couterstrike got added to the list. there goes another game I will be playing alot of. damn the backwards compatibility is getting better and better

When will they make Jet Set Radio Future, Phantasy Star Online or SSX ON TOUR compatible?

I wish panzer dragon and otogi 1/2 where on the list. But its selling well without b.c. is because xbox 1 has so few great games that people would still play even now.

I do not even have an Xbox 360 yet. The few games that are really worth it to buy one are not enough. Besides, I do not even play much games on my Xbox, which will suffice when one of my friends come over for a quick game of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (or another game which is nice to play when you're sitting on the couch).

Besides, XBMC rocks my box and I don't want to sacrifice that.

The only game I consistently play on my Xbox 360, out of both Xbox and Xbox 360 games, is Halo 2. My Xbox is modded and got banned from Xbox Live (which I'm still resentful about) so that's the only way to do it for me, and really my only real use of the 360 so far.

I call it "retardabilty"... 'cause I own both systems, yet I haven't found single reason to play 'em on my xbox 360 system. Why "retardabilty" one might ask? Simply cause it's aimed for masses... every one knows that there are a lot issues with the whole emulation and the best experience comes for xbox1 games comes with original xbox. The only reason for the emulation I can find is purely for marketing purpose.... buyers that don't have the original box might not notice the difference and will actually benefit it, well at least in away... with some glitches, jerky graphics and low frame rates but what the hell it's still compatible!

Those who think that I'm a hardcore gamecube or playstation fan I'm not. Yes, i've owned both systems... but I ended up with these two systems and I'm quite happy with the 360 system as I had no intent to play older generation xbox games. I bought it on the launch date....

The only games that I'd have small intress to be able to play on the new system are Project Gotham Racing 2 and Rally sport challenge 2. Which to my knowledge are both unsupported.

I know that the emulation was vital to MS but if you must have it do it like Nintendo platforms....example last weekend we had a LAN-party with my friends. We ended up playing the nintendo 8-bit games (world cup etc...) on the original platform. It's just so much fun! of course there's a little bit of that retrospective feeling.... =D

They have done a tremendous supporting older generation games on nextgen consoles.

Props to both comming consoles Wii and PS3.

Wii is a must buy... the best party games have been on Nintendo.

for those who say, it ain't easy to emulate the xbox hardware. I know it, but the should have done better job at first so some of us wouldn't had so high hopes.

halo 2.......btw, I think the 360 was worth it just for geo-wars!

I would use it but every time I try to put in a game I realize it's not supported, they need to get some more games updated.

i can bet u if u put into the pole mostly just for halo 2 that would get the most votes in this pole

Ok umm lemme help u out here buddy so u can enjoy it more and u can thanx me ok try this first put it in a well ventilated area literally put a table where ur 360 is dont leave it any where else unless u have a wooden floor or something hard like that not carpet carpet = bad if thats not the problem make sure its still well ventilated even says so in the manual ok next try getting a shoe box and let ur power brick hang out so almost all 6 sides could let out heat or make it dangle i nthe air by a peace of string and if thats not it make sure u have ur xbox 360 plugged into a good socket if not good try another spot or buy something to make the electricty to ur xbox 360 power brick smoother and better if that dont work i dunno cuz i played halo 2 for about 24 hrs now and no it didnt stop once although it might on ur screen show another map on another map ur playing say level before u were playing was say zanzibar and then after u went to lockout and u saw some zanzibar it migth be the emulator not sure or just ur xbox heating up to much or its kinda getting tired so turn it of then on or give it rest for 5 min then enjoy again try that and my hands hurt from typing.!?

Ditto... I got get why this isn't on the list. I mean come on. It was like one of the first games on the system and it had a bitchin soundtrack

was that a statement or a legitimate question

halo 2...........
at's all weeeee neeeed....woooooohoooooo...

I'd be saying Halo 2 but it doesn't work in VGA.

That sucks! Especially since it's only because of the download screen. So I've heard.

dude, calm down. use some properenglishbeforeiletmypowerbrickhangfromthewall!

I love playing the GTA Trilogy on 360 - my favourite being the original GTA3. It just looks so damn good on the 360.

All I need now is for Midtown Madness 3 to be made BC, and i'll be completely happy

two words
