False alarm: back-compat still on track
Apparently the post from ActiveXbox that's been
getting linked
all over the web -- even here --
was a little short on details. They wrote that Microsoft's David Reid "[had] stated that the team who [did] the BC
work are on holiday throughout January and will start work on priority titles when they return."The Xbox team's Cesar Menendez clears the confusion up for us saying, "The Backwards Compatibility team is still working on adding your title to the list. Just because David Reid said (back in December?!) that they were going on vacation, doesn’t mean that all BC efforts have been halted."
The back in December comment refers to the Major Nelson podcast that the information was gleaned, inaccurately, from. In it David Reid said, "...right now, I’ve got a lot of guys going home on vacation, and you’re not going to see another [update] in December.%uFFFD We are looking at the spring, for those top games that we want to get up there, and you’re going to see more of this happening in the future.”
We've learned our lesson Cesar, scout's honor! Now, could you tell us when the next update is gonna be?
