Hm makes me wonder if specs are final now

This constant pursuit of pixels over performance is a bummer.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
What's the GPU this thing will have?

The next gen Oculus headset will probably be Scorpio compatible. Thing is going to be a beast but I still don't see the point if you have a nice PC.
Curious about this also.
They talked about it at E3. Fallout 4 VR is confirmed for Scorpio too.

Ease of use TBH. I know this is an old, worn argument but anecdotally my desktop is a huge pain in the ass.

Wonder what this means for the standard console. Also good to hear this thing will be a real 4K games machine.
Anything other than Forza M anyway. Let's just all hope it has decent AA and AF with the Scorpio.
Edit: Forgot about Halo.
4K 30fps at medium settings is doable.
I can see Halo 6 at 4K 30fps for campaign and 4K fake or whatever @60fps.

It was part of their E3 conference when they announced Scorpio.

Nope, they already mentioned it when they talked about the fact Scorpio won't have exclusives when compared to Xbox One (and said that VR games are not "games" so there's no exclusives).
Anyway, I don't care about 4K, I'd rather have spectacular looking games at 1080p/60fps.

The let down will be that it'll use the current Xbone UI.

No they have explicitly said that Scorpio will do some kind of VR at E3. My guess is a partnership with Oculus but no one knows for sure.
I'd give it till the month before next year's e3 and then they walk it back lol
Gotta ride that marketing hype as long as possible.

By this time next year I will be down with getting a 4K display and sure time to get a Scorpio. Will be nice.
Halo 5 doesn't run at 1080p 60fps all the time.

I'm still hoping there will be more modes to take advantage of 1080p like Tomb Raider.
I've never actually seen 4k in real life, but is it really that much better than 1080p? I'm not knocking 4k, it's just that 1080p already looks so good to me. I can't notice any jaggies, so it's hard for me to imagine 4k being better

Really. Like to me 60fps > everything else. Honestly when I look at a game like MGS V, it may not be the best looking game out there, but it still looks pretty good and runs in 1080p/60fps on PS4. I wish other devs had gone that route.
I can just smell those uncompressed pixels now...
Hopefully chasing native 4K doesn't bite them in the butt when it comes to differentiating their titles. I can imagine Scorpio running games with the same graphical complexity that the PS4 Pro can only render at 1080p at 1440p upscaled to 4K.

The Scorpio quickly turned into one of my least favorite topics in recent gaming. What an amazing job by Microsoft, and similarly amazing set of customer relation slip ups by Sony, that a vague, hypothetical console with the promise of 4k within budget and spec restraints that a console inherently brings is suddenly being looked at as some sort of beast over the horizon.
The fact it's a year out, with no leaked specs, no solid developer impressions, and that it's relying on the promise of achieving a resolution that we've already seen is not completely understood by the mainstream is what causes my ire. Asking "should I buy a PC or a Scorpio?" illicits the same reaction from me as "should I buy an iPhone 7 or 8?" We simply don't know, and going off the company's promises, especially the one losing the sales and mindshare battle, is only going to create unjustified hype leading to a lot of letdowns.
Anyway, 4K is cool.

One the one hand, yay native 4K! On the other hand, I prefer good performance so I'm worried.

Digital Foundry will be there with a ruler.

Not really in this case. I'm sure MS has looked at what they're doing on PC, and with Scorpio equivalent hardware, are probably reaching their goals.
Who knows what kind of hardware will ultimately power the machine, but they seem pretty adamant about hitting that XO parity at native 4K.

I'm with this.
