The outlook for Microsoft after Xbox One launch?
By Chris Lacey
Microsoft just launched the Xbox One a week ago and they had plenty of release events around the world to usher us into a new era of gaming. The console did have some reported issues where some people had their disc drive malfunction.
Microsoft believes it’s not a widespread issue and they’re now looking ahead to the future. The question to ask is what’s the outlook for Microsoft after the Xbox One launch?
The best game that came out for the system could either be Forza Motorsport 5 or Dead Rising 3 depending on your preference. Those games set the bar very high with how they looked.
One game that could be a favorite among early adopters of the new system is a first-person shooter called Titanfall. This is the first game from the people at Respawn Entertainment.
The gameplay is where players can fight either on foot as free-running pilots or inside agile mech-style walkers known as “Titans” to complete team-based objectives.
The game is online multi-player only, but has single-player elements such as plot and character chatter built into its matches.
The game is expected to provide a unique experience that gamers will remember. Titanfall is set to drop on March 11, 2014 for Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
The video below shows some gameplay and provides background information as well.
Another game that looks great is from Remedy Entertainment called Quantum Break. It will feature live-action videos blended in with regular gameplay.
There’s also a Quantum Break television series in production, with Remedy saying that “how you play the game impacts the show, and the show informs how you play the game.”
The other game to pay close attention to has yet to be announced, but expect that to change in the coming months. It’s an iconic franchise with Microsoft and one that most gamers know by name.
Halo 5 will be worked on by the great people at 343 Studios, as they did a terrific job on the last entrant in the series. I expect they will try to raise the bar once again and create a game everyone will enjoy.
The trailer shows some games you can expect to see on Xbox One.
Let me your thoughts or opinions about the future of Xbox One and what game you’re most looking forward to playing.
