[Pinky]

Hype! Don't have an XBO or XBOs, so I'm looking forward to the reveal. And, lol, Persona is not going to overshadow the reveal of new hardware. Stop.

 

[Xumbrega]

Rumour is Digital Foundry will have a article about the Scorprio next week. New console specs and benchmarks are my fetish.

where did you see that?

 

[Maintenance]

Pretty safe to say that during April Fools.

 

[Rocketz]

I'm ready but today's date

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I wonder what games they'll show with it. Crackdown 3?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

First post accuracy

 

[Servbot24]

You guys are taking that Persona post really seriously.

Looking forward to the reveal, hope there are new games shown.

 

[Papacheeks]

Unless Scorpio shows unique software I can't get anywhere else, My excitement is very low for a 4k console.

The sales of high quality games like Zelda, Horizon, Nier, resident evil etc shows people don't care about 4k.

I wonder what games they'll show with it. Crackdown 3?

Presuming it's still alive. Other than that we're obviously getting all the first party stuff - Halo 6, Forza 7, Sea of Thieves. Too soon for Gears 5.

Looking at their last two years of third party output I have barely any faith in any third party exclusives being on Xbox ever again.

 

[dead monkey uk]

so wait, not official stuff?

Yes official will either be an interview or analysis of MS released material.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Haha.

Lovely.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Yes official will either be an interview or analysis of MS released material.

oh I see. Lets hope its true

 

[0racle]

It better be really really impressive. This is arguably the biggest reveal for the future of Xbox. If it's a dud I worry for Xbox.

 

[Space_nut]

Lmao amazing

 

[Sidewinder]

Aww yiiss, new console smell is in the air!!! Probably not gonna buy it, but I'm always hype for new consoles.

 

[The Salt Life]

Amazing, give us some room to breath!

 

[Giftofgab24]

I love how Homer is Nintendo and complete unphased by everything.

 

[dreamfall]

I hope the reveal is great, they need to show something amazing - these past couple months have been really slow.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

It's childishly fanboyish, but I did chuckle.

 

[c0de]

I am embarrassed by so many people quoting that joke, geez.

I am embarrassed to see a guy being embarrassed more by quotes than by the shit post.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

I really wish they would just treat it as a new console. Xbox One failed but they could really turn it around if they made it its own thing.

 

[SOR5]

I really wish they would just treat it as a new console. Xbox One failed but they could really turn it around if they made it its own thing.

This is pure speculation now but yeah I feel like this is the prime one-and-only moment for a rebranding

They have to market this cleverly as hell

Retain the existing XBO userbase, but promote a brand new chapter of the platform, its a balancing act

 

[Fisty]

So its next week, with no hype and no official announcement for MS's hail mary? This close to E3? Yeah not buying it.

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

This and E3 will pretty much be the determining factor if Xbox is even revelent FOR ME at least for the foreseeable future. If it's all just 4K multiplats and the same few franchises they've been putting out for a decade I won't care. Hope they have some exciting things up their sleeves!

Either way I'm excited to see just what approach they take with this

 

[Prologue]

I sold my xbox last year after hearing rumors about Scorpio, so it doesn't really affect me.

You still can't abandon an install base so soon like that though.

 

[gaming_noob]

I almost want to take an entire week of vacation next week to wait for it

 

[SOR5]

You still can't abandon an install base so soon like that though.

hello there

 

[wesleyshark]

Lmao I love that Nintendo just walks away

 

[Unknown?]

what's that?

Aye, you may not be aware but there are actually games being released right now!

 

[Xaero Gravity]

They are safe Scalebound won't be eclipsed.

Keep fighting the good fight 👍

 

[Detective]

During Persona week? Good luck.

lol, people get more delusional every time they hear Scorpio name.

 

[Peltz]

More that Jez has tweeted:

Scorpio will have an ethernet jack (WOAH)

My inside sources said it will also come with a controller and HDMI cable.

Lol. The casual demeanor of Nintendo is the best part of this gif.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

hello there

I miss the old tank

 

[Silent Hill]

My inside sources said it will also come with a controller and HDMI cable.

And a power cable too...

 

[SOR5]

My inside sources said it will also come with a controller and HDMI cable.

Let me guess, your dad works for Nintendo too? LOL. What. Ever.

 

[marciocdb]

Today is not the day to announce something like that.....
My heart can't take it....

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I wonder what games they'll show with it. Crackdown 3?

enough time to get netflix running on it

 

[Oddvintagechap]

idk if "native" 4K is a selling point. But we'll see. I wonder what Sonys move will be. I asuming they will sharply undercut them on price this year.

But release another revision next year or wait till 2019/2020 for a "PS5".

 

[Plum]

My inside sources said it will also come with a controller and HDMI cable.

You're gonna be eating a lot of crow when it comes with a Neural Interface and a Display Port cable (for true 144hz gaming).

 

[MosquitoSmasher]

So then the question remains. Will it be a stage event like the Xbox One reveal back then? Will it be like a Nintendo Direct or will they just release information and photos/videos of the system online and call it a day?

 

[faint.]

They dodged a bullet by not showing it during BOTW patch week.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Haha, this is well done.

 

[Devilgunman]

I thought we have a thread for gaming April Fool shits.

 

[Art Vandilay]

I'll take one ticket for the hype train, please sir.

I thought we have a thread for gaming April Fool shits.

Read the OP. Hopefully it's accurate.

 

[blakep267]

I wonder what games they'll show with it. Crackdown 3?

Since it's this early, probably

-Battlefield 1
-Gears 4
-Forza horizon 3
- Forza 7
- Fallout 4

I can't see them showing off any new games before E3(granted Forza 7 is "new" but like we all know it's coming)

 

[Sky Chief]

Until we see some new, interesting software from MS this doesn't really interest me as much as it should

 

[SOR5]

So then the question remains. Will it be a stage event like the Xbox One reveal back then? Will it be like a Nintendo Direct or will they just release information and photos/videos of the system online and call it a day?

I think it could be:

Thursday event: Spec reveal, footage of known titles like Shadow of War and Crackdown 3 running (extra question marks on this one)

E3 event: Physical hardware reveal, new software reveals, price reveal

Name reveal a toss-up between either event

Basically the Thursday event will be all the lesser-hype technical stuff, E3 for all the easily digestible spectacles and any megatons

 

[Caayn]

This is the most fitting use of this gif yet.

Which site do you think is going to pick this up first? Do you think they will credit gaf?

Why would they credit Gaf? We're not the source of this.

where did you see that?

I think that he's basing that on John being in the UK. But he mentioned he was only there until Sunday for EGX.

 

[twobear]

wouldn't they have sent out invites or drummed up some sort of PR hype if this were the case?
