LOS ANGELES – On the table appears Minecraft, lego digital that comes to life as a three-dimensional hologram. Indeed, it is a three-dimensional hologram. This is the first and only magic that Microsft Galen Center opened today at the E3, the largest fair of the video game world. After signing agreements with Oculus and Valve Vr Microsoft has managed to excite with its HoloLens, glasses close to the concept of perceptive computing. Conceptually they function like Google Glass, and then use the augmented reality but are even more powerful. Applied to Minecraft, the game acquired last year for $ 2.5 billion (not much), the HoloLens (you are not yet a debut date) represent something new because it could introduce a new dimension to games (or Building). For the rest of the press conference it was all focused on the games.
They had to revive after a complicated year. Reiterate that Microsoft would not leave the video games and they did. The Galen Center in Los Angeles, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has reassured fans that what they’re going to present is the best lineup in the history of the console. To lengthen the catalog have made Xbox One compatible with the previous games console the Xbox 360. An unprecedented initiative, which extends the life of the gaming machine. In addition, it should be recognized that any console has ever made backwards compatible your machine.
The unique
The exclusive Halo are 5, 6 Motorport Forza, Gears of War and Rise of the Tomb Raider. And a new IP (intellectual properties): the title is Recore from the creators of Metroid. Starring a robotic dog and a girl in a future Mad Max, but most caressing the famous road warrior. The protagonists are robots. Reminiscent as imaginary series Borderland. And Gigantic for Windows 10 and Xbox One. A cartoon that looks like so many games without mention one in particular. Then among the titles presented remember Plants vis Guild Wars 2 Zombies of Ea which will arrive in the spring. By From Software, those of Bloodborne, Dark Souls 3 (2016), Tom Clancy’s The Division of Ubisoft. Battle between the survivors in a city that could be New York covered in snow and lifeless. Of note in chapter also the exclusive offer of studios Rare returning with thirty titles of his past and not as in the case of Sea of Thieves. The package also Fables Legends.
The most convincing? Halo 5 is played in four, it shows a long sequence of gameplay. It seems more tactical of the previous chapters. And very true to the series that is in effect the Star Wars of Microsoft (due out in late October this year). Motorsport is a candidate and to be the best racing game and out in September. For Tomb Raider they showed trialer who see in tight alpine intent on climbing a glacier. The glacier is beautiful. She always beautiful. The game looks like a “more of the same” but that’s okay. We always talk about one of the best titles of a couple of years ago.
Moment indie games
Really many titles but indecipherable. Beyond eye seems poetic and dreamlike as now they want to be independent of all the games that aspire to a more restless. Cuphead is a cartoon of the first fifty years. A marvel.
The role of virtual reality
Who expected the celebration of virtual reality in Xbox One is disappointed. Oculus, the most advanced VR viewer that will come out in 2016, will not, as it had become clear in the press conference a few days ago, a device on the console of Microsoft. But a development environment to create new experiences for Windows 10, the real heart of the alliance between the companies Facebook and Microsoft.
With Windows 10 will be possible to enjoy the games xbox one stream on PC through the viewer for virtual reality. More convincing then Minecraft but do not have a date. But this conference did not clarify the doubts that accompanied the last year the gaming platform of Redmond. For Microsoft this must be the year of redemption. After a 2014 horribilis that saw her lose ground in sales compared to the rival Playstation, the Microsoft headquarters did not seem so convinced of wanting to still focus on video games.
Started the transition
The vision of the new CEO, Satya Nadella, very focused on the business and in a delicate operation of opening the cloud and its platform to application from competitors it did not seem to contemplate what was little more than a toy in economic terms within the budget of the Redmond company.
This conference has shown that there is an ongoing transformation. As a service platform to the service console of Windows 10 (it will be launched in July). The transition has begun.
