360 BC list updated this week with 20+ titles

20+ (possibly 28)

Doom 3 and Lego Starwars are among them, the rest are still unknowns. Microsoft has taken a lot of heat over the BC issue, and so these games really NEED to be super-uper popular titles that tons of people want. What would you like to be made compatible, or what are your predictions?

I would like:

Soul Calibur 2
Psychonauts
Conker: Live & Reloaded
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay
Jet Set Radio Future
Otogi (1 or 2)
Shenmue 2
Oddworld Strangers Wrath
Unreal Championship
Rallisport Challenge (1 or 2)
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Thief 3
Panzer Dragoon Orta
Phantom Dust
DoAX
DoAU
KOTOR 2

All I wanna see is Mercenaries. I already ousted most all of my other games.

give me shenmue 2 ffs

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

FUCK! Where the Hell is Morrowind? I can' t belive this isn' t backwards compatible yet. I don' t care if its the hardest to make B.C. A few months ago I bought Morrowind GOTY and I thought damn this will be sweet in wide screen, I was shocked when I discovered I' d have to dust off my Xbox to play it. Microsoft if you' re listening, fuck the next 20 games you' re working on with b.c. and get fucking Morrowind to work.

Best fucking game on the console and MS is ignoring it, idiots.

It could be one of them though.

However, seeing as Oblivion is still " new" , i doubt they' ll make Morrowind BC just yet. I agree though, the game kicks ass!

yeah point, They' ll probably get Morrowind in a few months.

Heres the list...another mix of good, ok , and bad

1. 4x4 EVO 2
2. Amped 2
3. Bad Boys 2
4. Big Mutha Truckers
5. DOOM 3
6. Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
7. Fatal Frame
8. FlatOut
9. Grabbed by the Ghoulies
10. Intellivision Lives
11. LEGO Star Wars
12. Minority Report
13. MLB SlugFest 20-04
14. The Punisher
15. RalliSport Challenge
16. Silent Hill 4: The Room
17. Spawn Armageddon
18. Spider-Man
19. Star Wars Battlefront
20. State of Emergency
21. Zapper

---

And some extra bit that I didnt feel like starting a new thread for:
You can play custom soundtracks on all BC games now with this little trick. Plus Elder Scrolls content this thursday.

Ok, so Doom 3, Fatal Frame, Flatout, Rallisport Challenge, Dreamfall and Grabbed by the Goolies are nice additions, but the rest suck!

I want Conker and DoAU dammit!

I only own Halo and Halo 2, so i dont need any. so why post?

Look at my post count!

18. Spider-Man

Is that the movie 1 or Spider-Man 2? Because I would really like to swing around
New York City...

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

It could be Ultimate SPiderman, the cell shaded one came out after Hulk. It was okay, but " Dumbed down" considerably from the movie games, which were kick arse! Not a patch on Hulk Ultimate Destruction though.

I went out and bought Capcom' s arcade collection, can' t play it, and no sign of BC for it because SF2 is coming out on live, eventually. Dammit, I want some Ghouls and Ghosts action!!!!

It' s Spiderman: The movie and it f**king sucks!

I' m just finishing off a sizable BC list with brief explanations of any issue the games have. It' ll be posted soon...

The first Spiderman game sucked. The only thing I enjoyed was swinging from rooftop to rooftop in the first level.
And that explains why I love the second game which gives you more freedom and more swinging.
The cell-shaded game is a mixed bag. Stylish graphics with some elements from the second game is great but it was limited.

The summer update fixed many issues with many of the BC games so i' ve noted those too.

Ok, now we do not OWN all of these games so i don' t want to be accused of buying the GTA games or stuff like Shadow the Hedgehog and Spawn!

Some games do not work when using VGA, but we haven' t tested them all for that yet so i' ll just update later when we have.

Scrapland *eeeeeuuuuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh*

Cheers for the list Majik, Kikizo is the only game site that gets past my employer' s Firewall. So I' m spending a lot of time here!!

Somthing that I need to check on is if the co-op online in Chaos Theory works. Kept freezing up when me and any friend tried it.
And as for custom soundtracks in BC games try out this little trick:

TeamXbox

Make sure the game allows you to adjust music volume otherwise custom music and in game music will both be playing. Also adjust music volume beofre starting game as you cant do so after.

Nice! Thanks Mass!

Snk vs. Capcom Chaos

King of Fighters Neo Wave

Metal Slug 3

I don' t own a 360 but the BC problems is preventing good tournaments at the nearby game store.

I don' t get why they would make the clearly inferior SpiderMan the movie
BC, when SpiderMan 2 sold more (I think), was a better game, didn' t care about
the story, but damn was it satisfying to swing to every rooftop and get such
speed on level 8 swing.... I wanna play this on my 360..... AND GIVE ME MY
OTOGI!!!!

I don' t have any of the games that they made BC... So that update was a waste
of 30 seconds of my life...

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Note that games that run in PAL-50 like Doom 3 will NOT work using the VGA cable!

Majik,

I had some issues with 50/60Hz games, on the HiDef cable supplied - this might work on VGA cable, might not!!

Turn off the xbox first.

Turn off HiDef i.e. set it to normal. There' s a switch at the box which plugs in to your xbox. Or plug in a pal scartcable.

Turn the xbox back on, go to settings, change from 60Hz to 50 Hz PAL setting.

Turn off console, put your HiDef cable back in, et viola! It should work okay.

Yeah i know about that, but it' s the cable that doesn' t support the signal. Unfortunately i would need to play using composite cables and i' m currently using a CRT monitor.

Whats CRT?
