With their unveiling of the backwards compatibility, the Microsoft Hololens headset and the elite controller, Xbox's conference at E3 is what everyone is talking about in the gaming world.
Lets start of with backwards compatibility. Owners of the Xbox One can now play Xbox 360 games for FREE, Supporting more than 100 games at launch with many more being added overtime.
I personally cant wait for this as there are many games that i love on the 360 and a lot that i would love to try.
With games now running on Xbox one players with be able to use some of its unique features. Microsoft's also Mike Ybarra walked through some of the possibility, including screen capping using kinect.
Next is Microsoft Hololens headset, this blew my mind! With the demonstration of Minecraft being played with them it wowed the audience. Using the Hololens headset players with be able to play minecraft on any flat surfaces like a wall or table. A member of the Mojang team was able to zoom in and out of the world, grab the world to revel what was beneath his village and look inside buildings.
The Hololens will also support voice commands, for example saying "lighting strike" in order to send down a bolt of lighting to any destination you wish.
Lastly the elite controller, with it being aimed at the pro side of gaming and gamers that like the customization side of it. Its sure going to be a hit with the amount of customization it has to offer.Being priced at £129.99 and set to release in October.

Book me in for a new controller
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I think this backwards compatibility has taken way to long to come I am sure I am not the only one who has gotten rid of their overly large stack of xbox 360 games long ago, but that controller for sure is a tempting buy.
ReplyDeleteAlso the hololens blew my mind when he moved the minecraft to the table.
