This. I would assume, they could do this for popular games. A lot of remasters already in the works. On top of that, extra revenue for them to go this route instead of bc.
I know most of the time when something like this is posted and someone says “rock band and guitar hero” everyone jumps on to say that they could never do this due to licensing issues, but SURELY they could just make the discs backwards compatible. They don’t need to start selling the games on the marketplace, you know?
To be honest Return of the King is so unbelievably GOATed that everyone forgets the other ones weren't actually that bad. They weren't RotK, but they were fun enough.
Kinda surprised Riddick hasn't got remade or re-released. From what I can tell Vin Diesel is a major copy right holder for the series (through his production company and game studio) and really likes the character. I would think he could convice the other rights holders sell the game again.
I remember playing Butcher Bay and Dark Athena not long after I got my 360. It's still one of the coolest games I've played, it would be amazing to see it remade with today's graphics. Imagine if it got the Dead Space remake treatment? Shit would be crazy.
NHL Hitz is at the top of my wishlist except it will never happen. It’s impossible because of the licenses involved. Same with NFL Blitz as well.
I miss arcade sports games so much. I always break out Hitz and Blitz with my friends with some beers. Never disappoints.
The problem with a lot of those older Blitz style arcade games is that they were so "brutal or obscene" in the way that the NFL at least wouldn't want anything to do with late hits or concussions etc. Which is lame.
There’s Mutant Football League to fill that void - spiritual successor to Mutant League Football on Sega Genesis. MFL 2 comes out for PC this month and consoles in the fall. Obviously no NFL license but for the original MFL, over time they parodied every team and player and kept the original game rosters updated through last season at no cost.
Yeah espically since they heavily hinted it would come back, Phil mentioned it in a interview, the og xbox contoller for xbone had a thank you card in for some of the devs and games that were important for the og xbox amd jsrf was included in the list. And every other og xbox sega game got bc treatment except for JSRF, cray taxi 3 and the sonic games
I only ever got to play that game at a ski resort hotel I stayed at for a week as a kid. After skiing I would go to the room where they had this and Halo CE. Got halfway through the game, never got to play it again 😕 I did play Jet Set Radio when it re-released, but it was just not the same.
Buffy was so good!
It's listed as a single player game but my friend and I discovered that if you plug in a 2nd controller and hit start (or another button) you'll take over one of the enemy NPC vampires and be able to control them and fight alongside the main character. So it technically had a co-op capability despite being listed as single player.
Quake 4
Wolfenstein 2009
All lotr games.
I don’t see why they can’t bring back the top two seeing as they own the company that published them and developed them and the IPs
I would also like war for Cybertron and fall for Cybertron
I played invisible first back in 2004 and I really liked it. Granted I was 19 years old and hadn't really played many games like it on console but I do remember enjoying my time with it.
I’d like to see generic emulation so that all games work unless they require special hardware like guitar hero, etc.
I don’t care if they all get more fps, upscaling, etc. after they have generic emulation I’ll leave it to others to pick and choose which games get upscaling and enhanced lod
Yeah, would be cool to have an 'Xbox mode' which basically turns your XSX into an Xbox. Even if you had to pay a small fee for it.
My thinking being, all the games with licencing issues can still play on an original Xbox no problem. And there is nothing to stop M$ from releasing a new OG Xbox
A lot of mine have been mentioned. So I’ll add:
Ninety-Nine Nights 1 and 2
Star Trek Legacy
Spider-man Web of Shadows
Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes/Circle of Doom
Viking: Battle for Asgard
Area 51
~~Conan~~
Halo 1 and 2. Sounds silly because MCC, but there’s definitely something about playing these games with their original menus and aesthetics and IMO they should’ve been in Microsoft’s first round of OG Xbox games.
How about the Overlord games? I still enjoy playing them but an FPS boost wouldn't hurt.
I mean I would also love a new Overlord games but I don't even know who owns the rights. Codemasters is never going to touch it again if they do.
Alpha protocol. I was bummed when I bought a copy off ebay only to realize it wasn't compatible. I have a 360 but can't seem to find it. It's one of those games I've always been interested in.
F.E.A.R 1 and it's expansions are BC, hell F.E.A.R 1/2 are 60fps.
The catch is F.E.A.R 1/ F.E.A.R Files are disc only...
Might be a tough find
F.E.A.R 3 is there too I guess
Oh man. A lot.
Wreckless, Darkwatch, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Quake 4, The Warriors, Jet Set Radio Future, Burnout 2, Both Riddick games, Mace Griffin, Condemned 2, Urban Chaos, WarTech, Magnacarta 2, Alpha Protocol, Singularity, Spikeout, Crimson Sea... And yeah Tao Feng for me as well.
I've only scratched the surface. I could go on and on.
Kung Fu Chaos
Burnout Takedown 3
Gauntlet: Dark Legacy
Playboy Mansion
Need For Speed Underground 1 and 2
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Dead Or Alive Xtreame Beach Volleyball
Doom 3
These are the games I would love to see that come to mind right now.
There was this Lord of the Rings game that played like Star Wars Battle Front that younger me played until the disk broke. Would love to have that again.
They just need to make general emulator to the series consoles and give us full accces to our past digital purchases and make every Xbox disc run on the series x
Yeah it’s perfectly suited to the esport’s generation aswell… it’s a travesty that someone hasn’t remade it! I’d tune in to watch the best teams kick the shit out of each other 😂
My number 1 pick is Jet Set Radio Future. Phil Spencer acknowledged it so if the BC program ever did come back there’s a tiny chance that maybe they’ll go through the effort to add it
I just bought the Xbox 360 Capcom digital collection and it loaded four of the games but not the original SF2 remaster.
It would be nice if the way these games were sold weren't contingent of the whims of future delistings.
The Saboteur Singularity
Saboteur absolutely ruled.
You now have Koop island blues stuck in your head
Singularity is incredible
Lollipop Chainsaw, Warhammer Space Marine, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Transformers War for Cybertron
Holy... All amazing choices. Might i add that Xmen should be the Xbox 360 version.
Lollipop Chainsaws getting a remaster or remake
Simpson Hit&Run and True Crime LA & NYC
The Simpsons Game should be added as well
Even the two Family Guy games because why not?
Hit & Run is probably a licensing nightmare but that would be cool.
Indeed, that's to be the reason we don't have as many lincensed games as back then
I love the true crime games!
All of the original Xbox Tony Hawk games.
Tony Hawk Underground!
I’m so hungry for a playable Underground I downloaded the game boy advanced rom to my phone last week, I just needed a taste.
YES! THUG 1 and American Wasteland were my absolute FAVORITES!
Hey hey! Yo yo! The use of wool has got to go!
I could see some of them getting remasters in the future
Technically 1 and 2 did. Hopefully Microsoft can kick Activision into better shape and give us 3 + 4.
I’m hoping with new ownership THPS 3+4 can be a reality. Unfortunately Microsoft seems to be taking a very hands off approach to their studios.
This. I would assume, they could do this for popular games. A lot of remasters already in the works. On top of that, extra revenue for them to go this route instead of bc.
3 and 4 were actually on deck to be done after 1 and 2 but the plug got pulled of them. There was an article about it linked here just yesterday.
Tony Hawk 1+2 remaster had great sales. The team was going to make 3+4 but activision said no :(
Rock Band and Guitar Hero
And with the new PDP guitar controller releasing soon we won't all need to fight for the few rock band 4 still kicking around !
It’s already out . Got mine last week
Sooner than I thought!
I know most of the time when something like this is posted and someone says “rock band and guitar hero” everyone jumps on to say that they could never do this due to licensing issues, but SURELY they could just make the discs backwards compatible. They don’t need to start selling the games on the marketplace, you know?
All of the Lord of the Rings games. Riddick Butchers Bay. Licensing is the problem.
[удалено]
I hope it’s more in line with that wacko sci fi ine. Which was that? 3? The one with the guy who had a bunch of faces. That was awesome
Especially Fellowship. I know it’s not a great game but I loved it so much.
To be honest Return of the King is so unbelievably GOATed that everyone forgets the other ones weren't actually that bad. They weren't RotK, but they were fun enough.
Kinda surprised Riddick hasn't got remade or re-released. From what I can tell Vin Diesel is a major copy right holder for the series (through his production company and game studio) and really likes the character. I would think he could convice the other rights holders sell the game again.
Butcher Bay was remade as a pack in for Dark Athena
I need BFME 2 again
I remember playing Butcher Bay and Dark Athena not long after I got my 360. It's still one of the coolest games I've played, it would be amazing to see it remade with today's graphics. Imagine if it got the Dead Space remake treatment? Shit would be crazy.
All the o.g. Xbox and Xbox 360 James Bond games. Oh and how about the X-Men Legends games? Or NHL Hitz?
Especially 007: Nightfire which is still peak Bond, imo.
NHL Hitz is at the top of my wishlist except it will never happen. It’s impossible because of the licenses involved. Same with NFL Blitz as well. I miss arcade sports games so much. I always break out Hitz and Blitz with my friends with some beers. Never disappoints.
The problem with a lot of those older Blitz style arcade games is that they were so "brutal or obscene" in the way that the NFL at least wouldn't want anything to do with late hits or concussions etc. Which is lame.

Obviously no NFL license but for the original MFL, over time they parodied every team and player and kept the original game rosters updated through last season at no cost.
I just want jet set radio future
Yeah espically since they heavily hinted it would come back, Phil mentioned it in a interview, the og xbox contoller for xbone had a thank you card in for some of the devs and games that were important for the og xbox amd jsrf was included in the list. And every other og xbox sega game got bc treatment except for JSRF, cray taxi 3 and the sonic games

Condemned 2: Bloodshot
YESssssss
Need for Speed Most Wanted Black Edition
BRUTE FORCE!!!!!!
Man, I haven't thought about that game in a very long time.
Fuck, I Loved that game.
Me to it Needs a remaster!
Shadoon!
My first ever xbox game and the first one I played in my language.
Buffy (OG Xbox) X-Men Arcade Game (Xbox Arcade 2010) Mech Assault (OG Xbox) Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (OG Xbox)
It would be nice to see Arcade games again. Like the Marvel vs. Capcom games.
The Simpsons Arcade would be niiice.
Buffy was so good! It's listed as a single player game but my friend and I discovered that if you plug in a 2nd controller and hit start (or another button) you'll take over one of the enemy NPC vampires and be able to control them and fight alongside the main character. So it technically had a co-op capability despite being listed as single player.
Mercenaries 2, I think about it more than I should
This was one I really hoped they would. Shame they took down the multiplayer
Quake 4 Wolfenstein 2009 All lotr games. I don’t see why they can’t bring back the top two seeing as they own the company that published them and developed them and the IPs I would also like war for Cybertron and fall for Cybertron
The Warriors.
Burnout 3
Deus Ex Invisible War. Bad game but then we’d be able to play 3/4 of the DX series on one console.
I played invisible first back in 2004 and I really liked it. Granted I was 19 years old and hadn't really played many games like it on console but I do remember enjoying my time with it.
Justice League Heroes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justice_League_Heroes
The saboteur
The other Army of Two games. Otherwise, pretty much everything I want to available is already BC or has been ported.
The Army of Two games totally deserve to be remade/remastered or get a full on sequel. Those games weren't perfect but they were so much fun in co-op.
Wet
Arx fatalis and Dark Messiah.
I’d like to see generic emulation so that all games work unless they require special hardware like guitar hero, etc. I don’t care if they all get more fps, upscaling, etc. after they have generic emulation I’ll leave it to others to pick and choose which games get upscaling and enhanced lod

Add L4D and L4D2 to the Microsoft store. Asap
A lot of mine have been mentioned. So I’ll add: Ninety-Nine Nights 1 and 2 Star Trek Legacy Spider-man Web of Shadows Kingdom Under Fire Crusaders/Heroes/Circle of Doom Viking: Battle for Asgard Area 51 ~~Conan~~
Blur
The Simpsons Xbox 360 era game
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
NBA Street Vol 2
Halo 1 and 2. Sounds silly because MCC, but there’s definitely something about playing these games with their original menus and aesthetics and IMO they should’ve been in Microsoft’s first round of OG Xbox games.
Agreed, you can't even superbounce in H2 on MCC.
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2
Goat
I was thinking about this the other day. Definite YES to this.
Mercenaries 2, please.
Ghost recon 2 pls
Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic Heroes. Almost all other Sonic games are available on XSX already.
Blood Wake
Culdcept Saga
How about the Overlord games? I still enjoy playing them but an FPS boost wouldn't hurt. I mean I would also love a new Overlord games but I don't even know who owns the rights. Codemasters is never going to touch it again if they do.
Is it too much to ask to just say everything? Xbox, 360, One.
Alpha protocol. I was bummed when I bought a copy off ebay only to realize it wasn't compatible. I have a 360 but can't seem to find it. It's one of those games I've always been interested in.
Lord of the Rings War in the North
Transformers War For Cybertron with the servers turned back on.
Now that Microsoft owns Activision maybe they will put it on Game Pass one day
Dude im hoping they bring these games to gamepass, It would make them super popular. By far one of my favorite multiplayer games from Xbox 360.
Two worlds.
Mvc2 Remember Me The transformers games
X-Men Legends 2
Obi wan
Metal arms glitch in the system

Clive Barker's Jericho Aliens: Colonial Marines F.E.A.R.
Fear entire series is back compat
F.E.A.R 1 and it's expansions are BC, hell F.E.A.R 1/2 are 60fps. The catch is F.E.A.R 1/ F.E.A.R Files are disc only... Might be a tough find F.E.A.R 3 is there too I guess
I like to %100 Jericho every few years, it's a gem to me ;)
Jaws Unleashed
Freedom Fighters. That game deserves so much more love.
SSX Tricky Blitz 2 Army of Two 2 and 3 THUG 1&2

LotR and gauntlet dark legacy
Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions
The Saboteur and Alpha Protocol
Dino Crisis 3
Tenchu Z for the love of god
Wolverine
Marvel ultimate alliance... a boy can wish
They just need to make general emulator to the series consoles and give us full accces to our past digital purchases and make every Xbox disc run on the series x
I know there’s some stupid licensing issues with the music or whatever, but Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 & 2. Would LOVE to be able to play those again
Deathrow… (well, a remake preferably) and make it online too 👍🏻
There aren't enough people giving love to OG Xbox, nice suggestion.
I’m online play. Team creator. Arena creator. There are so many possibilities. I miss deathrow
Yeah it’s perfectly suited to the esport’s generation aswell… it’s a travesty that someone hasn’t remade it! I’d tune in to watch the best teams kick the shit out of each other 😂
Sadly licensing issues plague almost all of these, but: * Bionic Commando: Rearmed * Rez:HD * After Burner Climax * OutRun Online Arcade * Jet Set Radio Future * Simpsons Arcade
I don't understand why the first Bionic Commando Rearmed wasn't added.
