Hey Matt, are there any sites you use to check on rumors or expected release dates for new BC titles?
The
BC thread at NeoGAF was always my go-to, and I assume there are similar discussions at Reddit. Xbox doesn't usually announce BC title dates in advance anymore.
I bought a 4T HD a few weeks ago and finally got all my 360 saves off that machine and into the cloud, then I installed all the 360 games I have that are in the BC library as of now, but I'm left with a few that I'm hoping will make the cut at some point. I wonder if with the Xbox titles getting attention now that maybe some of these last titles won't ever get done. The titles I'm waiting on are:
COD: Modern Warfare 2 (I was able to find news that this one is rumored)
COD: Modern Warfare 3
COD: Modern Warfare 4
COD: World at War - Is in the BC List already, but didn't work for me when I put the disc in. I'm going to try it again this weekend.
Resident Evil Revelations
Medal of Honor: Warfighter
Medal of Honor Limited Edition
Silent Hill Homecoming.
Other than the Guitar Hero games which I assume aren't going to happen, and I don't care about really, I could be done with my 360 if just those titles get added... so now I'm all curious.
Activision released an updated version of COD4: Modern Warfare last year as a pack-in with COD: Infinite Warfare and this year as a standalone title (COD: Modern Warfare Remastered). Probably reasonable to assume that the 360 version won't be going BC anytime soon, if ever. But, as experience has shown with the BioShock and old 360 Halo titles coming to BC after their updated versions were already released, certainly anything is possible.
Wouldn't be surprised to see updated versions of MW2 and 3 in the next couple of years.
Capcom just released RE Revelations for Xbox One a few months ago, so again, probably won't see the 360 version go BC. Capcom hasn't brought any of their 360 RE titles to BC. They've just chosen to release new versions instead.
No idea on the others. Hang on to that 360 for now.
