MO

[Paramite of War]

When will MO be backwards compatible on the 360?

[Nemo]

When gabbits fly.

[Xavier]

no idea, the best thing you have to do is to mail Microsoft and tell them you'd love to play MO on X360

[moxco]

Yeah and while your at it also tell them strangers wrath better go to, or im buying a Wii and a Mac.

[Wil]

When gabbits fly.

Surely the more apt translation would be ‘When Sligs fly’?

[Bullet Magnet]

Poetically, yes. But sligs already do fly, which rather kills the metaphor.

Already tried that, got an email back about a week later saying 'please call us for further imformation about this matter' not really helpful.

Anyway, i don't think that MO will become compatable, Microsoft will only be interested in companies that could make new games for the 360 that could profit Microsoft, and i don't think OWI is going to make a game for the 360 (Although my fingers are crossed).

[Xavier]

I'm not sure about that
They still add games to the list so we can still keep our fingers crossed.

[Jordan]

Yeah and while your at it also tell them strangers wrath better go to, or im buying a Wii and a Mac.

So, you're saying you're only buying a 360 for SW?
Another thread for backwards compatibility, come on people, SEARCH!
It'd be great if these were compatible, I'm planning to get a 360 in the late future, maybe.

[Nate]

I would have figured, "When paramites fly", considering the sound effects in MO.

No im saying Im getting revenge on microsoft for not putting MO or SW on 360.

[snuzi]

Yeah, that'll teach 'em! I'm sure they'll notice the one customer among millions, and make SW compatible for the 360 right away!

Of all the reasons to boycott Microsoft, that’s a pretty petty one, even if it is because of something personal to you.

I would be appreciative if Microsoft bothered to make Oddworld backward compatible, but already possessing an Xbox it makes no difference to me. Lorne, speaking to Edge, thinks backward compatibility is overhyped:

Do you not feel steps towards backwards compatibility are extending the lifespan of legacy titles?

Who cares about it? I mean, really. Who cares? If you already have those games, you already have the machine! It’s a marketing thing. If I buy a new machine, I’m not putting my old games in there: I want to play new games.

I think he’s neglecting to consider gamers who haven’t yet played the sixth‐generation era Oddworld games but have decided they suddenly want to. Whether that’ll prove to be a significant number of not in the future, I cannot say, but I’m guessing not, for now.

[moxco]

Hey hes sort o' got a point

[Taytay]

They still add games to the list? Since when, this surely must mean something!

And, I personaly, since there is no possible way of me getting an Xbox 360 anytime soon and barely but more slightly a chance of getting a Wii I hope they quit making games for any systems except Xbox (which I doubt will happen) and Computer, because I have one.

So I dont want them to because if they did they'd add all new stuff that I would want, and I would be further-more screwed.

[Jordan]

Why should they stop making games for everything but Xbox? That's just stupid...

[snuzi]

Yeah, that pretty much screws over anyone who doesn't have that particular system. I personally prefer the games to be available for the Xbox, but I wouldn't mind if they were also available for other systems. Don't be so selfish .

[Xavier]

heh, it's the consoles exclusivities I don't like, I want to play god of war and ico on my xbox!
