The future of minecraft Pc#

Microsoft is already working with developers to bring big name games to HoloLens, but hardcore gamers are going to want high-definition games akin to what they can get on a PC or an Xbox.В While HoloLens is still in development, QuartzвЂ™s Alice Truong noticed when trying it outВ that its field of view was severely limiting. Even if we have to look bizarre using it. If Microsoft can combine casual gameplay, whether thatвЂ™s building things in Minecraft, or bowling with friends, with the ability to interact with games on any surface, the HoloLens could be a hit. EvenВ Pong, the first videogame ( sort of) was a virtual representation of a parlor game.В Playing ping pong in the living room without the fear of breaking anything would be a pretty great use case. The Wii sold over 100 million consoles, and the second-best-selling game for the console (not including the one that was bundled in to many sales) was another casual game.

But then,В playing with the Wii-arms flailing wildly, holding a white stick, trying to control a digital bowling ball-took some time to seemВ normal. In any case, itВ will be be an uphill battle to get regular people to strap computers to their faces to play a casual game (thatвЂ™s industry-speak for a game thatвЂ™s relatively simple and not overly time-consuming). The Ninetendo Wii had Mario to sell kids on trying out a new way of gaming, and then theВ Wii Sports gameВ bundled in with the console got the parents to try it out, too. It isnвЂ™tВ clearВ if the brand is popular enoughВ to make those millions of people buy a HoloLens, but itвЂ™s an anchor brand at the very least. MinecraftВ is a popular brand, with more thanВ 100 million registered users, andВ more thanВ 10 million copies of the game sold on Xbox. Microsoft previewed some of the things it envisions us doing with HoloLens when it announced the device in January-designing things in 3D, getting virtual plumbing help, and even playing Minecraft-and now it seems the company is delivering on the gaming aspectВ of its platform. In person at the conference, this might have looked a little weird, as there was just a man on stage in a headset pointing at an empty table, but on screens and online, youВ could see what he was seeing, and it looked like a lot of fun. While wearing a HoloLens, a gamer onstage was able to interact with a Minecraft world by speaking commands and tapping the air.

While much of MicrosoftвЂ™sВ announcement at E3 centered around placating hardcore Xbox gamers-from a new controller, to a new Halo game, andВ backwards compatibilityВ of Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One-it used Minecraft to show what HoloLens could do.
