You Won’t Be Able To Transfer Arcade Games To Xbox One

If you’re a proud owner of an Xbox 360 with plans on upgrading to the Xbox One when it launches later this year, you may want to hold onto your 360. In an interview with Gamespot, Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer confirmed there will be no way to transfer your XBLA games to the new console, but “Those games will continue to run on your Xbox 360 for as long as your Xbox 360 runs,” he said.

My library of arcade games has grown substantially over the years, so this news is a little frustrating. Microsoft knows there are plenty gamers like me out there, but they don’t seem to mind. “The box is not backward compatible and we think for somebody who invests in a large digital library that you want to keep your [Xbox 360].” This decision seems especially odd seeing as we will be able to transfer our 360 gamer profiles and achievements to the Xbox One. Maybe Sony will allow this, seeing as their PS4 is so game-centric.

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
