After watching both Sony and MS E3 events, both we're better for different reasons. MS showed off stuff that will be out this year, including a pretty cool new controller and BC. Sony revealed some amazing stuff, but we will be waiting 'til next year year for most (2 years in some cases).
I love VR and what's being showed. Morpheus is getting it right IMO it just works. I'm trying to get hyped for hololens but some things aren't just sticking right with me, for instance, the last few times they showed off hololens, they showed it from a 3rd perspective. I want to view it from the person using it. Why are they not showing this? It seems that they are only showing it in controlled conditions to make it look better than it actually is (kind of like Kinect).
I know it's an early product, but if they can't put something together with a prototype that they can go all out on in expense, what hope will a $200/$300 device have?
Second thing that doesn't seem right is BC. Cool, I think this is a great addition... then I thought about it a little. 15 games at launch??? 100 games by holiday??? It's actually quaite a small sample from the entire library. If 360 gamers get a X1 for BC, it might be to late to go back when they realise that only 1 out of 10 of their 360 games is BC supported. It's a great addition if you know exactly what you're going to get or you already own a X1. But the average casual gamer could be fooled by this. MS know this and they know websites, TV and radio will just report the X1 having BC. Even listening to Radio 1 (One of the biggest radio stations in the UK, biggest for the young adults) they were making it sound like the X1 had full BC.
So what is the truth? Will Hololens do what they show in an effective way like they show? Was BC devised to fool casual gamers?
