Everyone I've played with for a pretty much ever always just calls it "Gears". I guess it makes sense. I assume it's probably a branding thing to make spin-offs easier to name or something. Kind of a different take on why Halo is dropping numbers with Infinite.

Edit: Whoop, I thought you said "why did they?". But yeah, they did. It was confirmed during E3 a bit after it was announced but they didn't really make a big deal about of it.
After God of War dominated sales last year, they probably wanted to avoid 'GoW' brand confusion.

Also, it's less about war now and now more about inner struggle, at least according to the E3 intro to Gears 5. Who cares, it'll be on Game Pass.

 
Ninja Gaiden 2 BC X Enhanced
Nice touch.
Double Agent, Conviction, Blacklist, Fable 2 and Fable 3 are all X Enhanced.
I assume these are enhanced to build hype for new entries announced at E3.
This will likely be the last batch if any. They wouldn't take almost a month to release some and only do it within an announcement stream like this.
Relax, it's only been 3 weeks.
Things may have slowed down but it's not the last one. Clearly they've been working on the 5 enhancements.

I feel like they're stretching for content pretty much everytime they do these shows. The old MK and Star Wars trailers?

I wonder if they're running low on options for BC. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a great addition, but it's been a month now right? The X enhancements are always welcome but I'd only play Fable 2 out of those announced. I was really hoping New Vegas was going to be in that list.

The enhancements only affect X users, which I'd estimate is less than 10% of xbox users. These aren't worthy of announcements like this.

I'm sure there are still plenty of non-AAA games to add to BC. However, their strategy might be to focus on X enhancements for now to help sell the AAA stuff.
 
I’m just glad they are adding more X1X enhanced games. And definitely excited for Ninja Gaiden II. Got a copy waiting for me at GS (though I need to double check at home to make sure I don’t still have it, lol).

Rage 2 gameplay has me excited for that one.
 
MK9 is clearly not happening. They're not gonna fuck with MK11 sales this close to release. Window's gone, maybe after the season pass is done.
fucking Boon.
Really not being negative here, but why do people care so much about Mortal Kombat 9 being BC?? You already have a Next gen Mortal Kombat, you're getting another one next week, and theres at least 30+ other fighting games available on the Xbox One. Why??

Because MK9 has a better roster than X (outside of guests) or 11.
 
I appreciate that Phil plays games, and not just an executive. I could never tell when Reggie talked about playing his 3DS, but Phil seems like the real deal. The man has his own server for the beta.

9 was amazing, and seriously you can't have too many MKs to play when the itch hits
 
I'd also say why is someone worried about what games other people want to be BC? Why??
Because the number of people asking for that one specific game is enough to raise the question.

Speaking of games we want to go BC, I had the chance to clean off all the BC games from my :360: and the total number of games that I still own digitally that are not BC is starting to dwindle, but there are still maybe a dozen or so new BC announcements from which I could benefit.

MK9 is a great game, just because you aren't into MK or fighting games or whatever doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be made BC. I really don't think we get to be all that picky about BC based on the amount of work it takes MS on top of all the effort it must take to go to publishers for permission AND make sure everything is good legally. It's fun to bitch and speculate but this whole program has been an amazing effort from Microsoft.

As for MK9 specifically, it has a great roster because it was a throwback to the original trilogy and is the best received in the series beyond 1-3 for both hardcore fans and casual players. Personally I think the roster in 11 looks pretty good but of course there is a lot of nostalgia in a 20+ year old series, I'd say no Mileena is the only major flub overall. It certainly "deserves" to be BC. I don't know what obscure logic WeeeDoo is going for on that point. MOST of the biggest and most requested games have already been added, or had a next-gen port.

 
I read the PS5 article today and read the Apex updates and I watched this and well... that show was... something... I’m gonna go back to Apex now.
 
MK9 is a great game, just because you aren't into MK or fighting games or whatever doesn't mean it doesn't deserve to be made BC. I really don't think we get to be all that picky about BC based on the amount of work it takes MS on top of all the effort it must take to go to publishers for permission AND make sure everything is good legally. It's fun to bitch and speculate but this whole program has been an amazing effort from Microsoft.

I never directly implied it didnt deserve to be BC, as I realistically think every 360 game (save for the MAYBE 100 or so that literally cant become BC) should be BC. I just meant that people are really focusing on that one game when there are other options available, especially more updated ones even in the same series.

Obviously I can admit it's very hypocritical for me to say that when I wanted the older CODs to become BC even though there's more "newer and updated ones" available for the one.

It's nothing to get angry over, I just wanted to simply understand.

Here's my take on MK9 not being BC yet:

1. MK11 is only a week away.

2. Steve Beran made it perfectly clear in a recent interview that they made a conscious choice of "de-sexualizing" the female characters. MK9 is the complete opposite of that as NRS went balls out with hyper-sexualizing the female fighters. Kitana, Mileena and Jade look like strippers. Sonya wears nothing under her vest, Skarlett fights in a minuscule thong and Sheeva is practically nude. Pretty sure Sindel had the most "modest" attires of all the girls. Therefore it goes against their own current narrative.

I'd love to play MK9 on my 1X but I doubt is ever happening at this point (yes, I'm aware I said that about Crackdown 2 but it was a different situation).

It was removed from the store a long time ago, but wouldn't be the first title that came back after a BC listing.
I get that but he has a screenshot of him in the purchase phase for the game...

EDIT: oh I see he said it was a screenshot ON his xbox... wondering if it allowed him to complete the free purchase there...

Odd to make a big deal out of it when you can't purchase it. Of course you could GameStop it for $10
 
The Game Pass Ultimate is live for alpha members, anyone try it yet?

Apparently it gives you 1 month of Ultimate for every month of either service you already have, so if you have 12 months of game pass and 12 months of gold, it'll convert it to 24 months of Ultimate instead.

Might as well sign up if you're in the Alpha Preview....and I guess first apply any codes you're holding onto already since they'll convert into ultimate.

If you have 12 months of game pass and 1 month of gold left, it'll convert into 13 months of Ultimate and you'll basically be getting free gold, etc.

 
Ok, thank you for at least giving a legit reason. But wouldn't you rather have many other games becoming BC before MK9 considering the amount of options you already have?
Like what? Call of Duty? Call of MORE Duty? Call of the Dutiest Duty that Ever Dutied a Duty? It's official, Xbox One owners are buried in a big pile of Duty. I'm well sick and tired of first person and third person military shooters making the cut while everything else gets ignored. How many of these damned games do you need, anyway? I've been begging Microsoft for Mortal Kombat 9 so I don't have to dig out the Xbox 360 every time I want to play it, but nope, more Call of Duty. If I knew backward compatibility was going to be so laser-focused on the frat boy crowd I wouldn't have bought an Xbox One at all.

Nope got an error about region. But it's normal and should be fixed soon.

Disappointing with the BC Announcements I thought it was going to be more I am still waiting on more OG Xbox Games coming to BC, honestly these shows should be done way less with the stuff they show 

 
I imagine the same team that does the BC work probably is also working on the Xbox One X enhancements and six of those in one day. I’d say that’s a win.

Not sure why people bitch so much about this crap. What has Sony done for it’s customers for free lately?

Did you purposely skip my post addressing COD and people not getting angry? Or are you just trying to argue?

For the record, there are basically no mainstream 360 games that aren't BC that I want BC. Only ones I wanted in the first place were MW2 and L4D.

I'm looking more towards the single player 360 games now. Singularity, Alpha Protocol, Saboteur, etc, are all games that would be great to have as BC.
