While You Were Sleeping: 99 Problems And An Xbox One!

So the day after the day that was, Kotaku is still all about the Xbox One. There’s good news I suppose, but it still feels a little bit negative. With some distance I can say that I’m looking forward to seeing the games at E3.

But things like this are worrying: indie developers will not be allowed to self publish on Xbox One. Why not? What is the reasoning behind this? I guess they want to keep the service streamlined but I think these services should be more open, not closed. Just my take.

This, however, is a ray of shining light for me. Microsoft is plotting a new friendlier version of Xbox LIVE for the Xbox One. I really hope so. It’s in a really bad state right now.

This might be your first next-gen Need For Speed screenshot. SHINY. We all really hope this is actually proper Xbox One box art and, finally, this is great: these are what all the Xbox 360 launch games looked like. This is a real eye-opener for me. I had sort of forgotten.
