Now that the new Xbox 360 Dashboard (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/06/psa-xbox-dashboard-update-slightly-delayed/) is out there, many are finding the new features don't extend to Indie Games. Sure, Indies haven't supported Achievements for a while, and there's always been a price ceiling, but it looks like Beacons don't work with them, cloud storage isn't supported, and new releases don't appear under, well, new releases.
It's all in the video above, provided by GameMarx. Even that new Xbox iOS app (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/07/microsoft-launches-my-xbox-live-on-ios-app-store/) doesn't list Indies. Why is nobody thinking of the little guys?http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.joystiq.com)New Xbox Dashboard features leave Indie Games in the lurch (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/09/new-xbox-dashboard-features-incompatible-with-indie-games/) originally appeared on Joystiq (http://www.joystiq.com) on Fri, 09 Dec 2011 01:05:00 EST.
