XBLA will not be around for Xbox 1 – ever. All XBL channels; i.e., indie will be consolidated into one virtual bucket of games from which you can rifle through. Whether this is Team Xbox living up to the XB1 credo of “oneness” or not is definitely an underlying point to the primary question of – why?
An ode to Xbox Live Arcade.

Man I wish they were "xbox new game announced mlby major Nelson"
Instead of another 360 game...I've been seeing plenty of these BC games launched....nothing wrong with that....but the Xbox one needs xbox one games. BC is a great feature, but it's getting to the point where I should have kept my 360. That's my opinion at least. Some people don't care if the xbo gets xbo games.
@knighthrash
There are 4 exclusive games this coming up. One of them is a brand new ip.
@Kingthrash360- You say that exact thing in nearly every Xbox One article. Why is it that, "You own", an Xbox One? Constructive criticism is wonderful, integral, and when used properly it can be a great catalyst for change. You, on the other hand bang the same drum incessantly as though everyone doesn't already know your stance on the matter clear as day. As I stated above, constructive criticism can be great, but when criticism is the only thing that you have to offer, mixed in with the occasional backhanded compliment, I seriously begin to wonder how much truth and merit there is to your claims of Xbox One ownership. I myself would love to see some additional fresh new IPs. Preferably single player narrative driven games. I recognize the console's various shortcomings as well, but I don't feel the need to spout off the same criticisms over and over. I support both systems, though, and what one console might lack the other console fills that void, and vice versa. I've never seen you give a genuine compliment to anything pertaining to the Xbox One. There's always a caveat, or some sort of stealth trolling involved on your part. Which leads me directly back to my previous question. Why do you own an Xbox One. You don't seem to have any legitimate fondness for it. Whereas I've never seen you criticize Sony, but rather you're constantly stepping up to the plate to bat for them, no matter the subject at hand. It just makes it all a bit hard to believe that you truly own an Xbox One.
It's not trolling bro it's just my opinion. I said there is nothing wrong with it, I just want more games...more xbox 1 games. I bought it a few months before QB released...after I beat qb, halo 5, tr, ryse, sunset, ki...I'm not really into racing...so no forza ...but I'm left waiting for more. I've play many games and I've played all the games I wanted to play on xbox 360...when I had a 360...now that I got a xbo I want to play more games....somehow this is a bad thing.....to want more games. You say I've been saying the same thing....well yeah its the same problem. It's what I bought a gaming console for, to play games on it. All the bells and whistle mean nothing if all I want to do is game. Instead they are making announcements of old games....I already played years ago.
Like I said nice but yeah focus on the new games more. Tired of this bs
what you do is go into a private mp then kill duplicate civilians and then make it public and people will be able to join
@NotoriousWhiz
Rofl..
You gotta tap the back of the system 3 times, turn it on, now wait 45 seconds and push X Y RB down at the same time, then when you hear the word TOASTY push up up. Fight smoke to a Flawless victory.
Its because theres so many duplicate npc's spawning its overfilling the games ram so nothing can spawn in. So you kill some of the dupes to free up ram and allow other things to spawn
A little tale of a black box that changed an industry.
Very well written article. I still have multiple OG XBOX consoles, bought a few extra towards the end of its lifespan. Fantastic console that really put Microsoft on the map in the console market!
long live xbox original, man i still remember when i first got it, best moment of my life second to halo ce/halo 2 days
still got it, but i dont think it works anymore
I liked the OG xb.. Mainly due to bioware & sega releasing the unfinished dreamcast titles on it.. I do remember playing Halo for the 1st time.. It was pretty awesome having a vast area to explore with smooth gameplay.. They lost their charm to me though.. Theres no exclusives that feel refreshing like that anymore
Ninja Gaiden, DOA3, Crimzon Skies, Mech Assault, Fuzion Frenzy, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Blinx and Halo CE were some of my best games on the OG Xbox.
I swear with each piece of news hitting this site, MS just looks more and more out of touch with the core. XBLA was one of the best things 360 had going for it and now it looks MS is glossing it over even more next-gen.
i think this is bad for indie developers. just because we wont be able to see whats at their storefront, they would be completely overshadowed by the big devs.
I don't feel like reading the article, but are they essentially saying that there will be no XBLA on the Xbox One? Are they referring to something entirely different?
this is just going to be a clusterfuck of confusion about 2 years in when there are 780 arcade games 1000 indie games and about 300 games on demand.... horrible idea IMO... much like everything else i've heard of the xbox one... i've been shaking my head for the past 2 days straight now it seems... :(
