Newest 360 backwards compatibility update leaked?

Looks like we'll still be needing you.It's another blink-and-you-miss-it affair. Sporadic of the CheapAssGamers forum thought he saw an update to the 360's back-compatibility list from Microsoft. Heck of a lot of games added to the list, and Sporadic himself was happy to note that Shenmue II, Indigo Prophecy and Psychonauts were on the list.

Then the list got pulled out, he says. "Looks like somebody at MS screwed up." (Hey, that's him talking, not us, aight?).

According to Kotaku, Xbox community team manager Chris Paladino posted on Gamerscoreblogger.com, "We haven't made any announcements on this subject yet. Please hold off on freaking at this point in time. ;)" Well, the freak's out of the bag, if both Kotaku and CAG readers are commenting on their favorite games on the list (or not on the list). We'll see if this list holds true when Microsoft officially unveils the latest compatibility updates.

After a year of Xbox 360, I'm not that into the old games anymore. I wouldn't mind the update, it's just that I won't play the games.

They didn't bother releasing Scarface for the 360, but instead just made a backwards compatible update



Not complaining - i can now get Scarface to play on my 360 for a cheaper price (£30)

WTF! Still no RalliSport Challenge 2 and Mashed!



Why the hell isn't Mashed an Xbox Live Arcade title. This is STILL the most popular party game me and my friends play!



Grrrrr, who cares if a bunch of cheap-ass cartoon-to-game licences work.

They need Rallisport Challenge 2 on there for sure! I can't wait to play Shenmue 2 on 360 either!!! They need to hurry up and make a Shenmue 3 and stop putting out these sonic crappy games!

» ridiculous

and still no Midnight Club 3 Dub remix. A huge amount of folks also asking for this one just as with the other good ones mentioned here in the replies. Such a shame, but we all cant be happy I guess. Ill keep playin R6 Vegas and Assault Heroes until you make it worth our while Micro$haft.

» Conker

Conker does work, try it. I played it two days ago, i was shocked when i put it in my xbox 360 and it worked, but it does work. (the only xbox games i carry with me are conker, doom3, fusion frenzy, GTA: Vice City, and BMX XXX)
