Wow, for a second I thought this title suggested that a NEW Shadow Complex was coming to the Xbox One.

Seriously though....where is Shadow Complex 2? MS should seriously jump on that IP, it was one of the best metroidvania type games of last gen.

ShottyatLaw3971d ago

Great game. I still hope to see a new Undertow, too.

Mirror's Edge was a surprise for BC in my opinion, but a welcome one.

WitWolfy3971d ago

The annoying thing is, there are games higher on the list gamers ACTUALLY want.. Why not release those games first?

jerjef3971d ago

I think it really boils down to politics more than anything. The owners of the games need to give the green light, that's it. MS does the work.

UnHoly_One3971d ago

It's not that simple, unfortunately.

It doesn't matter if 10 million people want to see Red Dead or Skyrim, if they don't get the "OK" to do it, then it doesn't happen.

:(

KillaManiac3971d ago

I expect most publishers to release games BC UNLESS they are planning some form of HD Remaster.

Rookie_Monster3971d ago (Edited 3971d ago )

Ms demoed and already confirm that borderland 2 will be BC. And I believed there is also a HD Handsome edition on XB1 so I presume most could offer both. Why not, as they can still sell the old x360 digital copy on the Live marketplace and make money that way as well.

WitWolfy3971d ago

MS doent really ask the developers to re-port the games to Xbone. They do it all themselves.

Black0ut3971d ago

Wow thats awesome. Loving BC-preview so far. Cannot wait for all the titles to come! So glad that I've been collecting 360 games, got about 40 hard copies and 100 digital titles to date.

Great time to be a gamer folks!

BlackWolf123971d ago

Annnnnnnnnnnnd nobody cares.

Yay. Playing old-gen games is now a reason to buy a new gen console? :S

Gazondaily3971d ago

No it's not the sole reason but it is a big incentive for those who are still yet to make the jump and have several games they have yet to sample.

Concertoine3971d ago

It makes me want to get an xbone just knowing i can chuck this bigass 360 on to craigslist. I have to keep my PS3 hooked anytime i want to play a ps3 game.

Ashlen3971d ago

Just because a new console comes out doesn't make old games less fun. People still play games on DOS and people still love to play games from NES era. Heck people still play Atari games.

^^this. I still have two sega saturns and universal region DC. I still play the hell out of my fighting games on the saturn. I consider it home to best ports of some of the best fighting games ever made. I wouldnt toss that aside just because I bought a new toy.

WitWolfy3971d ago (Edited 3971d ago )

Yes, I bought a Xbox One because of the BC announcement.

FUDGE ME, RIGHT?!?!

peshkavusCA3971d ago

Same here :) Here's a big Fudge...

Rookie_Monster3971d ago

hey, At Least it is a better alternative than buying a new console and paying to play old games. No complaint from me.;)

Kalebninja3971d ago

Or you could buy your new console and when you want to play old games go Play your old console smarty.

FlexLuger3971d ago

@kalebninja

Lots of people trade in their old console towards their new one. If you own an X360 and are such a person...and still have X360 games you wish to continue playing or revisiting...you can on your XB1. This is brilliant for x360 owners as well as those on a tighter budget who wish to upgrade this year.

BC is the carrot on the string... and the icing on an already delicious cake.

jerjef3971d ago

Annnnnnnnnnd yet remasters continue to flood the marketplace on the new gen consoles and people continue to buy them.

NeoGamer2323971d ago

Exactly. If people buy new consoles to play new games then why is Sony's highlight to their first party offerings in the last half of the year, God of War III and Uncharted Collection?

Yet PS4 is the number one selling console and its highest rated first party game is TLOU Re-mastered.

Yep, everybody wants next gen games. Tell that to the deaf sheep buying the blind console from Sony.

ramo2163970d ago

@NeoGamer232

"Tell that to the deaf sheep buying the blind console from Sony."

Still trying to figure out what this means...

Salt is pure with this one

MS needs to do all their first parties first.
need see about buying Shadow Complex from Epic Games.

jerjef3971d ago

Yeah you would think all first party games would be on here ready to go. Also love the avatar. ;)

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

Knightofelemia520d ago (Edited 520d ago )

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

goken520d ago

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Pyrofire95520d ago

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

chicken_in_the_corn520d ago

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

__y2jb520d ago

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

DefenderOfDoom2519d ago

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Inverno519d ago

Then they went on to screw both games over.

UnbreakableAlex519d ago

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1220d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1219d ago (Edited 1219d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1219d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1219d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1219d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1220d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1219d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1219d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1219d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1219d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
