Smartglass Functionality For Xbox 360

Post » Sat Nov 10, 2012 6:52 pm

So recently the XBox LIVE update on my iPhone 5 updated and turned it into a Smartglass device.

What this means is that I can now control the dashboard with my phone as well as well as have certain games enhanced with the iPhone.

So like the Wii U has purpose built controllers with displays... XBox lets you use your phone.

Now I know that Bethesda were pretty quick to take advantage of the Kinect abilities of the 360.

Does "Skyrim" have Smartglass support as well or do they plan to?

(Eventually I'll simply put the game in the tray and check myself but there's a lot to play at the moment).

Thanks in advance.

At the moment, games compatbile whit smartglass are :
  • Ascend
  • Dance Central 3
  • Forza Horizon
  • Halo Waypoint
  • Home Run Stars
  • Karaoke
  • Kinect Sesame Street TV
  • Prima Games
I hope Skyrim will be compatbile soon. Control item menu, more detail maps, pin waypoint on the map, view monster specs and a lot of other possibilities would be a great add-on.

I think its way too late in Skyrim's life cycle to be adding this. More meaty content and bug fixes instead.

If it was never meant to be there then I'll not lose any sleep over it.

However they obviously planned their Kinect compatibility. This could be planned as well.

We'll have to see.
