Alladaskill17 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Can someone explain the difference between the banner for these new(er) games vs. the regular 'Xbox Live' Banner, and no banner at all for non XBL games. Edit: This is all I could find, so its just a new logo, no specific feature differences? Its still WP7.5+ requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Nokes Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 The green banner is the newer branding for Xbox games on Windows Phone. These games have achievements and other features tied directly into the Xbox services. The non-branded games do not have achievements or tie into the Xbox LIVE services.

Thank you, I knew that but part (even though I did mention it) but mainly, there is no difference other than banner design between the logo's above? 'XBOX Windows Phone' vs 'Xbox Live'.

Harrison H. Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I don't think there is a difference technically. The difference is simply them unifying their branding. All xbox live branded games will be moving towards the new style I believe. This way you know it's Xbox live enabled, and what platform it is on. They had to include the platform since xbox is being tied into Windows 8 with the games app and smartglass. You can launch games from there, so they had to make sure you knew what platform it was on.

TL;DR (so you don't have to read my earlier post again): The difference is in branding, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
