![]() ![]() But I would guess not.Įven more than the cost, the licensing stuff is a ton of work. They have deals with all those manufacturers for Forza, I think, so maybe they can just say "come on, throw in renewals for these old cars for our old game" and maybe it will happen. Though Midtown Madness is a Microsoft game so maybe they will try to re-acquire the licenses. And games with licensed cars are probably not happening. Old sports games, for example, are probably not happening. ![]() Games with licensed soundtracks or cars are the least likely to be permitted, other than those with proprietary peripherals (do NOT expect to see Steel Battalion). If Forza Horizon's licenses were only good for 4 years who knows how long Midtown Madness' were for. Do those licenses permit downloading a new copy for backwards compatibility (which is how BC will work)? Probably not? Maybe? I don't know, it depends on how it's written. Non-videogame licenses are another sticking point. That service is dead and there can't be sufficient margin to put it back on. They did not say that the games would have online so I am inclined to think they won't. We don't know if they will flip the switch on old Xbox Live or have figured out some solution to run old Xbox Live games on current Xbox Live. The two big things to look out for (besides stingy publishers) are non-videogame rights and online. Midtown Madness 3 was so much fun, that would be amazing if it worked online.Ĭan't believe they haven't remastered that gem.
