Microsoft demos Windows 10 apps running on Xbox One

Hosted web apps are also coming to Microsoft's next operating system

Microsoft revealed in January that it is bringing universal apps to the Xbox One, but the company didn't demonstrate how they would look and feel. That changed today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Microsoft's technical lead for Windows universal apps, Kevin Gallo, took to the stage during a developer event to demonstrate Windows 10 universal apps on Xbox One. While it wasn't a universal app like Mail or Photos, Gallo demonstrated a demo app designed to run across PCs, phones, and an Xbox One.

It was all part of a broader message to developers that Microsoft is building a scalable and adaptive user interface for Windows 10 to make it easier for universal apps to run across PCs, phones, tablets, and even TV screens via the Xbox One. Gallo didn't expand on when developers will be able to start creating Xbox One apps, but The Verge understands Microsoft is ready to allow any developer to build apps for its gaming console. The software giant will detail its plans at the upcoming Build developer conference in April, and developers should be able to build Xbox One apps during the summer period.

Gallo also revealed that Microsoft is planning to use hosted web apps in Windows 10. It's a new way for developers to bring their websites to the Windows Store, with Cortana integration and access to notifications, contacts, calendar, and camera. It could be a key way for Microsoft to secure more apps with an easy investment from developers. Gallo discussed Microsoft's adaptive user interface, which is essentially a way to allow developers to create responsive apps in a similar way to how web developers are currently designing websites.

The hosted web apps builds on the popularity of responsive websites, and Microsoft will essentially be allowing developers to just wrap them into a simple app for the Store. If they want to move to more powerful features then there's the option to move their responsive work and code into a full universal app for Windows 10 that can run across PCs, tablets, phones, and Xbox One.

the Xbox One is sounding more and more future proof with every little bit of information releasing lately. with the Windows 10 OS making its way to the console in the future its going to open some unexpected doors for the the system than realized. better dev accessibility...evolving web apps/universal apps. good stuff here for Xbox guys.

Hopefully it come over to NA as well.

that sure does look snazzy, nice...From Software, showing Sony how it's done. i guess somebody had to do it. every other ps4 game prior is generic shallow garbage, right? hehehahaha...

not to say i agree or believe this rumor to be true but:

http://www.examiner.com/article/fallout-4-xbox-one-exclusive-rumor-details-revealed

this has been rumor since 2013.

Several details may have been revealed in regards to the upcoming rumored video game, “Fallout 4,” being exclusive to the Xbox One. According to a post from the NeoGAF forum on May 24, a user claimed that there has been some industry chatter around Bethesda Softworks signing a deal with Microsoft. As a result, “Fallout 4” could end up being one of the 15 exclusive titles that are being planned for release within the first year of the next-generation system’s lifespan. You can take a look at some screens from the predecessor, “Fallout 3,” in the slideshow at the top of this article.

also the wording of the article of the article makes it seem like its a possibility if you look how it's worded.

http://www.gamercenteronline.net/2015/03/01/source-fallout-4-announced-at-e3-2015-will-be-current-gen-only/

Sadly, our source doesn’t expect Fallout 4 to release in 2015, calling Holiday 2015 ***“crowded.***”

“To quote Phil Spencer; 2015 will be a great year for gamers,” they said. “With all the exclusives and third party games releasing this year, it’s going to be ***crowded*** with great titles.” When asked about a release timeframe, our source said “Spring 2016 at the least.”

Then, we asked why reveal this news to us, they replied “someone has too.”

the keyword being emphasized here is "crowded". if Phil Spencer is indeed his source then the wording is very telling. he has described Xbox's 2015 being crowded with games before while talking solely about its EXCLUSIVES. not just games in general.

his direct quote:

Looking at production schedules and how things are lining up next fall is just crazy. I mean, this fall from first party and third party standpoint is great.Next fall, I honestly… It’s not hype at all… I Honestly don’t know that we can ship all the stuff that we’re trying to ship next fall. It just might be ***too crowded*** and we might purposely try to move something out to spread it.

man, that's a lot of crowdeds...lol, if you're willing to try and connect the dots it definitely does hint at the game maybe being exclusive to Xbox One and PC. definitely, with a little speculation and hopeful thinking *shugs*

thanks for the input everyone. the games have an interesting premise to them...and there seems to be a lot more to them than it looks.i hope Xbox guys try it out.

plus Smite has 60 characters ready and waiting already they said. with some game characters based around Greek/Roman mythology, i'm all for this getting popular. i've always loved Greek/Roman mythology(and Nordic).

why wouldn't they count?

they're making a Xbox One version of World of Tanks. i saw an announcement somewhere recently. its coming out sometime this year.

what's wrong with MOBAs? the thread isn't really bragging about them anyway...i'm asking for opinions.

do you think Neverwinter is any good?

with Smite and Neverwinter coming to the XB1 shortly the MOBA game scene has a chance to "blow up" on consoles, as stated in the video. i'm just wondering what the opinion is here. does anyone here agree with their discussion on the matter....will it translate well to Xbox One, will it catch on like they think? a question mainly too hermits who have experience with MOBA games and too Xbox One gamers who are developing any interest in the genre.

a short video giving a breakdown of what MOBA games actually are(below)...and how they work. for those unaware of the specifics.

you have 19952 posts since 2007. i have 2181 posts since 2003. who spends too much time here again??

and no, i do not honestly believe that. most cows/posters on here are fine.,..but there definitely a "unique" few...etc.

really?? i missed it. could you send me a link for it? i'd appreciate it, thanks.

(not that i'm doubting you...i'd just like to look it over)
