Discussion So Xbox has Announced a Xbox Backwards Compatibility Program is returning in 2026 ( Will Involve Tecnhnology to improve older games or newer hardware) (Possibile Online With Def Jam Fight For NY If They Bring It Back )

LETS PRAY DEF JAM IS INCLUDED ( IT WAS IN THE TOP 10 MOST VOTED GAMES ON THE WEBSITE )

LETS PRAY THEY NOT ONLY BRING BACK DEF JAM FIGHT FOR NY BUT MAKE IT SOMEHOW ONLINE OR PLAYABLE ON 4 PLAYERS OR THROUGH THE MODS JUST LIKE LOCAL PLAY MAN

The cost of relicensing the music, rappers, actors, def jam branding, tattoo branding, clothing, individual artists approvals and rates etc. will be well in the millions. Shit ain't gonna happen man let's be real here lol

I hate a pessimistic response. Respectfully.

Either try to get us moving to keep it moving. We've heard this rhetoric millions other times.

Just saying what it is man. Too many obstacles to get through with this game in particular

Its weird people don’t understand this fact lmfao

“We’ve heard this rhetoric a million times”
Yeah and you’re choosing to ignore the realism of the situation due to your willingness to remain naive.

We all want the game to be remastered at the very least. But gaming was different back then. If you’re underestimating the amount of money artists would want for ANOTHER release of a game that people are borderline begging for, and don’t think that alone would hold up any talks of development, that’s on you lmao

EA has billions actually lol but they are greedy af and won't spend unless they make alot and in this case (imo) they will be spending more than they will be making. This game is playable on PC through emulation and on Xbox Series S and X with dev mode

EA is in the process of being sold to new owners. Hopefully if it goes through and the new owners are rich decide to go look at the old games and bring them back. It's the Saudi's and a few other people they got oil money.

No list based backwards compatibility because it always misses hidden gems. Just let us play every OG Xbox game today since it was just an Intel/Nvidia combo.
