XBOX Live really needs to recatagorize their game store. It’s horrible. And even though too many games contributes to it delisting isn’t the answer. Look at the iTunes app store, it’s completely over run with dumb apps noone cares about but it’s easy to navigate and find what you want.
(via Flock! developer worried about XBLA layout, delisting not the only answer)
Filed under: News, Xbox Live Arcade
Proper Games, the team behind the upcoming sheep herding XBLA game Flock!, is none to happy about the Xbox Live Arcade’s categorization or how it’s organized. And even though they’re in favor of delisting under-performing XBLA titles, they don’t think it’s the only answer to the problem.
“Flat-out delisting perhaps isn’t the solution” Proper Games CEO Paddy Sinclair told Gamesindustry.biz, adding that “I’d also like to see a way of properly categorising games – what’s the most-downloaded game at the moment? What’s been most bought?” Sinclair then echoed their and many other developers’ fears of being lost in the XBLA mix, admitting that Flock! “could just get lost in the morass of arcade conversions” with how the current system is setup. Hopefully, the massive Fall update and a newly re-structured XBLA will solve Proper Games’ and our own problems we have with the XBLA. Do it for the sheep, Microsoft, do it for the sheep.
