Found an interview with the Outpost Kaloki X guys.

Our next title for XBLA is actually nearing completion now, but hasn’t been officially announced yet. It’s a very different game from Outpost Kaloki, but it has some similar elements like a focus on humor. We’re very proud of it, and we’re excited to see it released. Microsoft contributed a lot to this game, and it has a bigger feature set and more advanced technology than OKX.
[Jeremy] The real advantage large developers have over the indies in this fight is money and established IP. The small nature of Live Arcade games helps level the playing field a bit. So what if a developer has a $5 million budget? What’s he going to do with it, add hours of cinematics and voiceover to a 30 meg download? What if he has a great game from the past he wants to port Live Arcade? Is a game from ten years ago a threat to a truly new and unique game? What will really determine a game’s success on Live Arcade, particularly in the future, is originality and quality. If an indie developer can stick to what makes being indie great, the freedom to create unique gameplay experiences outside of the mainstream marketing directed quagmire, he should have little to fear. If all he wants to do is remake the games of the past because they are ‘classic’ and nobody is making them any more, he could have reason for concern.
[Steve] Of course, developers still have to meet a minimum level of technology and resources for it to make sense for them to do XBLA development. It will be very difficult for tiny groups or individuals to compete for the limited slots available for XBLA games. At the same time, Microsoft absolutely sees the value in the vision and passion that an independent developer brings to the table. The people we work with at Microsoft are big fans of the Indie scene, and they care about the originality a small enthusiastic group can provide. I’m very sure we’ll continue to see some smaller independent developers releasing XBLA titles along with the big boys.

Shack: How will we be seeing the Dashboard improve on the 360?
Scott Henson: I don't think we've given an official date yet, but in the not so distant future you will see another update that will improve a lot of how stuff is sorted and shown in the Marketplace, just to make it more efficient. We're going to do a lot of nip and tuck cleanup work. One of the biggest things is the ability to download things in the background.

Thanks to PVB, I can now see all the demos I'm supposed to be able to see in the marketplace. The problem (bizarrely) stemmed from the fact that after I created my initial Gamer profile, I decided to set up the "Family Settings" to disallow creation of any further Live! accounts on the box (in case it got nicked).
I've now disabled the family settings and all the demos are showing.
Weird, but there you go.

Phew! I'm glad it isn't just me. I keep seeing rave reviews of Burnout over the years and as a driving game fan felt there must be something wrong with me!Mele wrote:I have never got it as well mate. To me its so fast and random , its just very boring.
I guess its an aquired taste . It looks mighty nice though
Maybe it is just people in Nottingham have better taste...
