During the Inside Xbox live stream today, developers from the backwards compatibility team announced that the program would sadly be coming to a close.
Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto shares some praise for Banjo-Kazooie and says it impacted Ocarina of Time in resurfaced quotes.
Two major upcoming first-party video games have gotten big changes at the top, as part of an unusual leadership shuffle.
Why is it a developer who worked for a Sony game then moves to an MS game always a story?
I never see an article when it’s the opposite tho.
Because it doesn't work that way?
Seems like most of the bigger names in Xbox don't go to Sony. Joe Staten to Netflix (now closed though). Mike Ybarra and another one or two to Blizzard/Activision (now back at MS). "Co creator of Halo" to studios they found or cofound. The guy who led Gears of War is now the guy leading Diablo.
And of course how Xbox doesnt have the talent in the first place to lose...

Some idiot called it "wokeness"
Now:
No sure why you´re acting like an insecure teenager, dude. Those people move from a company to another back and forth every time.
It´s not like they´re jumping ship or anything like that.
Chill
That’s strange. I thought Perfect Dark was close to release but it seems they are resetting.
I think Wolverine might be more fitting of that description than Perfect Dark.
I mean, PD just got a creative director, Wolverine just lost its.
It's usual if he finish his work in there but it's unusual to get a creative director in a finish line product.
Wolverine got an in house replacement, someone who has been on the project from the outset. PD just got someone who now has to be onboarded. How much can a new outside creative director do this far in development assuming it's releasing in 2026?

"How much can a new outside creative director do this far in development assuming it's releasing in 2026?"
A lot. The new creative director at this point will probably work on side missions, new cosmetics, weapons, gadgets and future DLCs.
I feel like it's always in development, is this the same game they've been working on since the 360? Or is this a sequel/reboot/whatever?
"That’s strange. I thought Perfect Dark was close to release but it seems they are resetting"
We heard the same crap when Darrell Gallagher brought Crystal Dynamics on board.
We already have an official gameplay trailer for Perfect Dark and it looks fantastic and got people hyped!
Wolverine on the other hand... well, let´s just wait for Insomniac to reveal anything (non leaked).
Those leaks really killed my hype for it so honestly, PD getting its CD did nothing to get me more or less excited for either.
Could entirely be that we haven't seen anything official yet because internally they didn't like the creative direction was headed for Wolverine.
Or it could be just that Brian Horton wanted to work with The Initiative because he's another former Crystal Dynamics guy, as he was the director of Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Such shuffles are not unheard of. There may have been unforeseen circumstances that have taken place. Having somebody to help steer the ship once the position is opened up is better than no direction.
At this point most design/art bibles are already set, and the game director is helping the game become feature complete. The new creative director should help hone in the cinematics, designs, whatever remains of the story much easier than having to start from scratch for both these projects.
Can't wait for both of these projects to come to full fruition. Wolverine seems to be almost ready for primetime reveal. Curious what this will mean for the end products!
The great thing about being one of the most popular consoles of all-time is that there’s always more underappreciated bangers to spotlight.
Definitely a good game and loved the art style. My daughter watched me play it when she was 4 years old. I’ll have to replay it with her someday now that she’s older. It’s crazy it’s been around 11 years.
I was thinking of pulling out my PS3 super slim this winter to replay Rain, and try to tackle some of the backlog I acquired.
I love Enslaved such a sleeper hit, Asuras Wrath a very good game I still own, and I wish EA would put out a new Dante's Inferno another game I enjoyed. I never heard of the Rain game I might have to try it out might give Ebay a snoop or two.
enchanted arms and folklore most definitely.
theres also a game about a red haired guy and a girl who is a sword or something. good game
Already? No more bc games to be added? This is huge news.
What a good run. Assuming every og xbox, 360, and One title will be available on Scarlett. Will make next gen transition easy. Hats off!!
I'm not surprise at all I saw this coming
As long as they continue adding more BC once the Scarlett comes out.
so this partial BC program ended?
