sorry you're right, they listed 4 games. I just look back at 2016 with wonder at all the big games released.
2016 definitely had the most releases, as far as I remember. This year has been good for me, though :P
I'm hoping for some games this month that match the spirit of Halloween. Costume Quest 1, CV HoD/lords of shadows 1 or 2, Splatterhouse...anything really.
Just came to say "I told you so" regarding MGS 2 & 3 eventually being added. There will be some happy campers here for sure :)
While these particular titles were not on my personal wishlist, I still think we all should express our appreciation to the BC team and all parties involved for making it happen.

Awesome news about MGS2&3 but on the subject of Konami I'm hoping for some Castlevania this month too! And as odd as it may seem am I the only one hoping for Vigilante 8 Arcade?
Same here. Been hoping for Costume Quest 1. There must be some issue, maybe with the DLC. Otherwise I don't know why they haven't put it out yet. Having to basically wait a year every time it's not announced is sad.
I actually own this physically on 360, so that's pretty cool, I guess. I doubt I'll ever play them again myself, but I'm happy for those that have been holding out for them :)
Ninja Gaiden 2, and Max Payne 3 are probably the big ones now tbh. For me personally, I'd also love RE: CVX HD
Hopefully it can be enhanced with better framerate. Did the game also have screen tearing? If so, fix that as well.
I have zero interest in today's offererings, but I am glad that Microsoft is still churning out BC titles that appeal to a wide audience, and hopefully next month they will have a new round of enhanced games to announce.
To each their own. :) I made a quick 2016 shoutout, as I don't think that year can be topped:

Wonder what makes them want to enhance a 360 game. Some really badly wasted choices in there while MGS and Silent Hill are stuck at 720p ._.
Whole program seems to be dead tbh. Maybe it was just a thing to sell Xs right out of the gate.
The Darkness 2 became compatible on January 30th this year, dawg. I'm with you for the rest, Max Payne 3 and The Darkness 1 ranking the highest among my most desired.
Not Two Worlds but would love Risen series to be BC. I only ever played the first game.
Oh. Actually i think i knew that but erased it from my mind since the first is not available lol
Alpha Protocol
Anarchy Reigns
Asura's Wrath
Arkham Asylum and City
Binary Domain
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
Dead Island
Dead Rising series
Dishonored
Dragon's Dogma
Far Cry
Forza series
Marvel Ultimate Alliance

Resonance of Fate
Ridge Racer 6
Sega Superstars Tennis
Superstars V8
Tales of Vesperia
Wet
for a start
I 100%'d the first Risen. Really want to play 2 and 3. Good call. I can't help but love EuroJank RPGs.
Ninja Gaiden 2 needs to be added to this list.
I want all of the arcade classics on 360 so we don't have to keep rebuying them across platforms. Specifically Puzzle Fighter, Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection, Darkstalkers Resurrection, Marvel vs Capcom Origins and 2, Double Dragon, Outrun Online Arcade, Rez HD, Space Channel 5 pt 2, the Simpsons and TMNT arcade. Fat chance for a lot of these licensed games, I know.
From the retail side, I want Mortal Kombat, Beautiful Katamari, Street Fighter X Tekken, DOA4, Eternal Sonata, Lollipop Chainsaw, Ninja Gaiden 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids, KOF XIII, Lego Batman 2, Virtua Tennis, Soul Calibur 4/5 and WWE All Stars.

This as a statement doesn't mean anything at all. The metric you're using is how many games they still keep making BC, which is out of their hands.
The reason people have been disappointed in Sony and Nintendo doing this in the past or currently is because there were things they could've been doing but weren't. Like, right now there's no reason for the Switch to not be able to emulate literally every NES game. Same goes for PS4 and PS1 games. Then it would be up to publishers to let them do that, but those other companies aren't up to that barrier yet. They should show off full emulation capability for older titles; then people wouldn't give them any guff for some games being blocked by publishers.
Are there MS published games they still own and haven't made BC? Because that's a fairer criticism.
Probably, but really it's just obscure stuff I can think of off the top of my head like Brute Force. So, that's whatever. Honestly, all I was trying to say was that I wanted them to keep doing what they could when they could. Judging by today's announcement, they are, so I'm happy atm. :)
The list of titles I want gets smaller day by day. NG2 missing still sticks out like a sore thumb. Other than that it's mainly personal titles that I want(Chaos Theory, Unreal Championship 2)
With increased Konami involvement, I really hope that we'll get this soon, that game will benefit greatly from better frame rate. Also, Harmony of Despair, especially since the DLC was on sale not long ago.
Was LOS unlocked framerate on 360? I thought I remembered it being so on PS3?
Since we're all posting our wish lists again, here's mine:
-Armored Core: For Answer (don't see this happening at all)
-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (very good shot with Konami being on a roll lately)
-Dead or Alive 4 (music rights might be tying this one up)
-Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (Ninja Theory is a first-party studio now, unless Namco owns this game outright)
-Lollipop Chainsaw (might be a longshot)
-Ninja Gaiden II (this one is still seriously baffling)
-Project Gotham Racing 4 (lol, never gonna happen)
-Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie (still no excuse for this one)
-Sonic Unleashed (maybe the framerate problems are making this one unplayable?)
-Armored Core: For Answer (don't see this happening at all)
-Castlevania: Lords of Shadow (very good shot with Konami being on a roll lately)
-Dead or Alive 4 (music rights might be tying this one up)
-Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (Ninja Theory is a first-party studio now, unless Namco owns this game outright)
-Lollipop Chainsaw (might be a longshot)
-Ninja Gaiden II (this one is still seriously baffling)
-Project Gotham Racing 4 (lol, never gonna happen)
-Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing with Banjo-Kazooie (still no excuse for this one)
-Sonic Unleashed (maybe the framerate problems are making this one unplayable?)
They published Ninja Gaiden 2 :)
They should reach out to Ubi for Splinter Cell trilogy 4K BC
It was unlocked, but most of the time it was in the 20s or 30s on both consoles, usually being lower on Xbox 360.
I don't see any Armored Core games being available on Xbox One because they were all published by different companies. AC4 was published by Sega but the updated AC4A was published by Ubisoft. And AC5 and its update ACVD were published by Bandai Namco. Unless From Software themselves are able to retain the rights to all of those games AND have Sega, Ubisoft, and/or Bandai Namco agree to make them compatible on Xbox One, it's not happening.
It was but it barely ever moved above 30; I wonder how much higher it could actually get on the X.
This is (was) my second most wanted bc game. First is max payne 3. So thank you konami and bc team!
That speculation about the entire bc team being moved to the streaming division because there was no announcements during forza week was absolutely ridiculous but I was thirsty too lol.
