for the ensuing multiplayer game. We
were reminded of the chess match in
Star Wars: A New Hope
, and although,
as widely reported, the field of view is
limited, the mesmerising HoloLens offers
an entirely different experience to Sony’s
Project Morpheus. The future is here, and
we’re ready to embrace it.
Our
Halo 5
12 v 12 match was called
Warzone. Different objectives throughout
the allocated game time enabled players
to rack up points and upgrade weaponry –
these objectives can range from capturing
the opposition's position, to fighting and
defeating AI enemies. Happy to report we
won the match;
Halo 5
looks and plays
incredibly well, and there will certainly be
plenty of Xbox Ones under the Christmas
tree this year.
The games industry
needed an E3 like this
one, bristling with quality
games that were, for the
most part, playable, and
pushing tech like VR to
within reach of the gaming
public. The show convinced
those who believed that
console gaming is dead to
reconsider. The challenge now is to
maintain that momentum, but for
the next two years at least, there's
a lot to be positive about.
