While the final announcement came with over 20 new games, there’s still plenty of original Xbox and Xbox 360 titles that are being left behind. While we’re not expecting Xbox to suddenly pull a 180 and drop some new backwards compatible titles, we wanted to highlight 15 Xbox and Xbox 360 games that we’re surprised didn’t ultimately make the jump to the current generation. Who knows, maybe Xbox will add all these game when Scarlett comes out.

Either way, here’s 15 titles that we wish went backwards compatible.Īs much as I’ve written about my love of Burnout: Paradise on this site, Burnout 3: Takedown is undoubtedly the best entry in the series and it’s something I will defend until my death.

Considering it was the basis of Dangerous Driving, the spiritual successor to the Burnout series developed by some of the game’s devs, attempted but ultimately failed to capture Takedown’s mojo, you know how much of an influence it had. Though the licensed soundtrack might have been the reason why it never ultimately made the jump to backwards compatibility, the fact games like SSX 3 and even Burnout: Revenge are available basically proves that means nothing when EA put their mind to it. Seriously, this would have been a license to print money, and definitely feels like a missed opportunity. #BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN XBOX ONE COMPATIBLE LICENSE# Though not the first digital adventure of Frank Castle, Volition’s 2005 stab at The Punisher is probably the most well known iteration of the character, at least in terms of gaming. That Capcom beat ‘em up was a banger, no doubt, but this version captures the brutality of the character and the world he inhabits. With Thomas Jane returning to provide the voice for Castle, and a gritty story and plenty of violence that capture the essence of Garth Ennis’ run of Punisher MAX comics, The Punisher was a flawed but enjoyable, blood-soaked journey. With THQ Nordic remastering games like Destroy All Humans!, we’re honestly shocked that The Punisher didn’t make a return. On the one hand, we can understand why the Max Payne series in its entirety didn’t make its way to the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program. #BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN XBOX ONE COMPATIBLE SERIES# #BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN XBOX ONE COMPATIBLE SERIES#.#BURNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN XBOX ONE COMPATIBLE LICENSE#.
