so Microsoft just wrapped up its big Xbox III event here and what I think is USC's basketball stadium it was huge and Microsoft in addition to its event from couple weeks ago talked all about video games this time game after game after game and a big booming bass and big demos and lots of people talking about games and the games themselves look kind of like you'd expect they look like video games the graphics on this new version of the xbox aren't particularly different from what we've seen before they look like good or great pc games but they're not anything particularly special but one of things we did see that is really fantastic about this new version of xbox one is really how dynamic these games are instead of just doing one thing at a time and you have one enemy coming at you every game seems to involve 40 different things in 40 different people we saw a battlefield demo where like a hundred different things are trying to kill you all at the same time and you have to use one to kill another and it's just so immersive and dynamic and there's a lot going on in every game we played a lot of these games are also using the cloud and really interesting ways Forza Motorsport 5 which actually brought out a McLaren car for some reason also talked about what's called a drivatar it's basically your character in this game and your driver will actually drive without you being there so if you're playing a multiplayer game you can play against your friends drivatar without your friend actually driving so while you're not playing the game your drivatar who knows how you drive and how you work is actually playing and racking up points other games use SmartGlass do really interesting things there's this great game called dead rising 3 where it's a big open world zombie game where you basically just have to not die that was most always all anyway I'm sure there's more to it but you have to just not die and you can use your phone or your tablet you can use SmartGlass to call in artillery to help you and there were other games that uses it to set up multiplayer games others that used it to do all sorts of different stuff it's a much bigger part of the actual gaming experience as opposed to just showing sort of secondary content so that's really the big difference there's a lot more we're gonna see this week obviously but the graphics don't appear to be anything spectacular on the Xbox one it's better it's great it's fun everything played at 60 frames per second and everybody got very excited about that but the xbox one graphics aren't what's really interesting here what's interesting here is everything from how immersive and big these were our to just all the different ways you can actually play the game and so will be out looking for more but that's what we found at Microsoft's event
