Surprsingly useful boogie facilitator I was having a hard time remembering whether or not Smart Glass is cool, because I feel like I haven’t been primed on the application since Microsoft’s E3 conference — I’ve already forgotten most of the neat uses it was promised to have. Given how invested in the concept Microsoft seemed at the conference, I figured it’d be more prominently touted and already a part of the Xbox experience....

Time management seminars aside, that’s exactly why I admire the raw tenacity ofBloodstaineddirector Shutaro Iida and producer Koji “IGA” Igarashi (and their team); who have been working on a single release for this long in an era of fleeting live service games. And it’s still being worked on, as two new modes are on the way....
