VRFocus- Last month saw Microsoft announce the hugely intriguing HoloLens, a head-mounted display (HMD) that allows users to see and interact with holograms. The company touched upon the technology's potential to change videogames, showcasing two unique experiences based around the popular Minecraft franchise that it purchased last year. Shortly after the projects were revealed a member of Mojang, the developer behind the original Minecraft, noted that it wasn't working on either one of them. Recently it's been revealed just who is developing at least one of these demos.
Microsoft recently revealed its plans to incorporate Copilot directly into video games, with Minecraft being the first showcased example.
F*** AI
"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...
Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.
It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.
Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.
Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.
The Microsoft Store has hinted at the upcoming release of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam.
1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.
This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
i am not into gimmicks at all, but i have seen some gameplay on oculus rift and it looked pretty cool, i think VR would be cool in minecraft, but this actually looks pretty nice, minecraft is a perfect fit for this kind of technology
According to a person from the New York Times or like that. HoloLens is to Google Glasses like MLB is to T-Ball
if they play their cards right it could be a huge selling point.Imagine if they bundled hololens with a copy of minecract. Whatever they decide,MS needs to have a killer app ready at launch.
I would really love to try out holo lense.
