Hey everyone!!
Xbox's VP announced at GDC that the backwards compatibility program would be returning later this year (which I am personally excited for)!
Alongside that, the VP mentioned, "The Games Preservation Team has been working very hard in the background for a number of years, and as part of our 25th Anniversary later this year, they will release some iconic games from the past that are now going to be able to be played in entirely new ways".
Well, figuring out what this means, it could mean ANYTHING.. New games, OG games receiving achievements, more enhancements, etc.
However, I have been seeing this image floating around everywhere (attached to the post) & we currently don't have the following on the Backwards Compatibility list:
- Worms 2 Armageddon (XBLA/Disc)
- Wolfenstein (remake, Xbox 360)
- Panzer Elite Action (Xbox OG)
DO WE HAVE SOME NEW ARRIVALS?! Highly doubt it.. But, each of the studios behind these games (Team 17 & Bethesda) are either owned by Microsoft or very good partners.. Even some of the games shown are also delisted and only purchase-able by buying them second hand!
I definitely want this to become a discussion to find some more evidence of new games coming when the program returns or other big news!..
Thanks everyone! ^
