It’s hard to believe that Kinect has been out for less than a year and a half, so far Microsoft’s hands free motion control add-on is exceeding everyone’s expectations and it seems to finally be hitting a stride when it comes to games as well as other features. One of the things that I personally like about Kinect is that it offers a diverse lineup of games, there really is something for every type of gamer. Even if you’re not into motion controls, Kinect offers voice controls and if Mass Effect 3 was any indication, those voice controls can come in handy. Sometimes Kinect shines the most when it’s not even a game that requires owning one. Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, Forza Motorsport 4 and Mass Effect 3 have gone a long way in proving Kinect’s versatility.
Minecraft's 15th year anniversary is being celebrated with a new free map, one filled with memorabilia from the game's history.
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.
