Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:47:15 PMA giant floating TV screen, is what it looks like. Look ma, no TV!
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:47:18 PMShowing a new version of Minecraft for Hololens. The way we'll see it is with a specialized camera that shows the overlays
-
Jeff Bakalar 6/15/2015 5:47:20 PMWill Xbox One games play wirelessly on Oculus? How's that gonna work?
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:47:31 PM
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:47:32 PMNow...MineCraft has just leapt onto the freaking TABLE.
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:47:42 PMYow, it looks cool.
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:48:07 PM
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:48:07 PMHe just made a Minecraft landscape sprout up. Like a virtual Lego toybox.

-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:48:31 PMThe group is impressed by how interactive this all seems
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:48:38 PM
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:49:09 PMThis is pretty cool-looking. I can't imagine what my Lego-building son would think of this.
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:49:10 PMBasically, they're building Minecraft as a hologram on a table. Of course, in the real world, there isn't anything like that.
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:49:18 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:49:45 PMThis is expertly choreographed but can normal people play this? That's one of the bigger questions.
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:49:51 PMCamerman is basically moving around and seeing the whole augmented 3D display as if it were real. Comes across extremely well for this broadcast!!

-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:49:59 PMBlowing up the street with TNT to get to a cave underneath the town. Seems like good urban planning...
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:50:05 PMThis is a killer, killer demo.
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:50:35 PMHoloLens seems to lend itself a lot more to "build and create" games vs immersive entertainment. Thus Minecraft.
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:50:37 PM
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:50:38 PMGreat demo, but I really wanted to see the direct feed from the guy playing the game.
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:50:51 PMoh, and by the way, no release date, no price
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:50:55 PMCool, but I wonder how many games would be better with HoloLens.
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:51:19 PMRod Ferguson now on stage, talking Gears of War, the popular space-age shooting game
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:51:33 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:51:40 PMThey're re-releasing a bunch of the older Gears of Wars games.
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:51:57 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:52:03 PMAlso worth noting that Microsoft bought the Gears of War franchise and is developing a new title.
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:52:26 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:52:57 PMWe're seeing a video intro for it now. One of the things people love about Gears of War is the epic storyline, which like Halo, they seem to have really nailed over the years
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:53:23 PMWhat even happened in the Gears of War universe in the last two games? I seem to recall they basically blew up the world and never made any real progress -- kinda painted themselves into a narrative corner.
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:53:34 PMWelcome back to dark hallways and ominous music. They're walking around a castle of some sort in the game.
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:53:49 PMClearly Ian and I disagree on the Gears story arc. ;)
-
Josh Miller 6/15/2015 5:54:05 PM
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:54:39 PMSorry, @dan.ackerman. You could probably say the same about Halo at this point. Anyway, now our heroes are running around trying to escape some sort of storm or something
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:54:56 PMUnlike a lot of other games, this new Gears game actually looks "next gen." Looks better than Halo and Fallout if you ask me.
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:54:57 PMI liked Gears of War back when you were shooting through giant alien stomachs
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:55:04 PM"Now what?" One of the heroes asks. Count me in on that question.
-
Scott Stein 6/15/2015 5:55:35 PMdon't touch it...touch it
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:55:52 PMShe says "don't touch it!" just as a giant hand icon appears for you to touch it.
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:56:12 PMNow fast-paced music and some sort of alien goop are involved. "Don't touch the pods" -- a great phrase in any sci-fi.
-
dan.ackerman 6/15/2015 5:56:29 PMHow long have we been here? 2.5 hours?
-
Ian Sherr 6/15/2015 5:56:46 PM@dan.ackerman, need a pillow?
