Yeah, Jae…look into these things.
Just send the emails. Doesn’t cost anything and if it worked for Psychonauts it can work for us.
Fixed, and I agree. Maybe they’re not doing it because Capcom plans on releasing them on XBLA?
Maybe, but:
Namco is releasing a bunch of old games on XBLA that are already playable on 360 BC via Namco Museum
Sonic the Hedgehog is coming to XBLA but is already playable via Sonic Mega Collection.
In both cases, you can get more games/better value playing the BC Xbox1 games - Namco Museum especially since it includes enhanced versions that the XBLA games do not.
Also, full releases on 360 now have to compete with their Xbox1 versions: Splinter Cell DA, Lego Star Wars II, Far Cry Instincts…
Maybe Capcom specifically asked MS not to make their games BC, but I doubt that happened. Also, XBLA games get announced a million years before they get released - if Capcom and MS planned on bringing out another SF release on XBLA I’m sure they would have mentioned it by now - if only to pad out the 360 release list and combat stuff like Tekken 5 DR coming to PS3.
Most likely: MS doesn’t think these games are that popular. The sales numbers are low and while on message boards we’re always grumbling about wishing SF3 or Marvel vs Capcom 2 works, we aren’t telling MS.
It worked for Psychonauts, it should work for Street Fighter.
3S on my esbos 3sitty WOOO!
Wow, shit like:
Plus Plumb 2 (Japan Only)
Psyvariar2 Extend Edition (Japan Only)
Family Guy
Xiaolin Showdown
Rapala Pro Fishing
-made the list, but SF:AC didn’t?
Send them emails!
Get your friends and family to send them emails!
If we each get 5 people to send an email (and really, they don’t even have to play SF, just have an email addy and 30 seconds to send the email) the BC team would be flooded with requests and they’d have to take notice.
Why not? You already know that they’re willing to short-change you when they give you an ass-tastic server to play AC on. Why do you think they’d be willing to take a LOSS by making their fans happy?
I don’t think AC uses servers…isn’t every XBL game p2p?
…are you serious?
Why don’t people just play on Xbox? I’ve got this game and everytime I head online to play someone in AE, NO ONE is on. I don’t see the point of backwards compatibility if no one plays the games in the first place.
My guess is that many people traded in their Xboxes for 360s, and now need this update to play. Plus, this is also good for people who own 360s but never bought an original Xbox.
Sent email lets hope they do something about it.
Reasons to get this game working on X360:
-
Xbox games on X360 have improved online because the code is different. Not sure exactly why, but I’ve read that voice chat gets higher priority and the performance is improved
-
Xbox1 games (even those that didn’t support custom sound tracks on Xbox1) can use custom sound tracks on X360 (just turn on your playlist from the dash before you launch the Xbox1 game, then turn off the original soundtrack from the game’s sound menu) (Maybe this is more important for Marvel vs Capcom 2 than SF3, but still nice to have)
-
X360 makes Xbox1 games look better on HDTV (yeah, yeah, filtered/scaled sucks for SF, but original resolution on HDTV sucks even MORE)
-
Gonna be some awesome joysticks coming to X360 along with VF5.
-
X360 seems to have a higher % of the user base online, SF2’ Hyper always has people available to play for me, my guess is if SFAC was playable on 360, we’d get people playing it again…I know my Xbox1 is boxed in my closet to make room for my 360 and probably most people are in a similar situation.
My guess is if SF AE comes out on 360 BC, people would buy used copies of that in stores, or any copy of it, and not bother paying for the SF2 HF on 360’s XBLA. they would lose money on those microtransactions. cant have that now can we?
I doubt SFAC will get added, they look at it as less sales for HF on xbla. Although we might get lucky. We’ve got more chance going for cvs2, mvc2, ggxx#r, etc.
While playing HSF2 on XBLA, I convinced a few players online to send emails (I only ask once, I don’t beg). 'Don’t know if they’re actually gonna go through with it, but it’s worth a shot and it didn’t take too much effort.
So if you guys just so happen to be playing and find someone who also likes SF:AC (or CVS2, or GGXX #, KOF:Neowave etc.), please spread the message.
Oh… and don’t forget the wishlist board. That also helps get the word around.
Like has been noted before, there are other games available as either full X360 versions or as XBLA games that are also playable as Xbox1 BC titles.
I don’t think there is a conspiracy by MS or Capcom to prevent SFAC from being BC to force us to buy SF2 HF.
I dont think people will stop playing hyper for sfae. 2 different games plus hyper has the quater match going for it. Besides most people that have sfac play 3s.
