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
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.
Where's your couch? In the neighbours house?Resolution seems to be everything these days, yet i struggle to see the difference between 720p and 1080p from the couch.
scorpio seems too good to be true.
Wonder how this will be a let down.
Gamers care about a company lying for like a week and move on.Bad idea to say this outright. Gives them no room for maneuver later on.
To be fair, releasing a 4K console is a great marketing tagline which will set them above anything in a year.Bad idea to say this outright. Gives them no room for maneuver later on.
No, it's more like, why buy an Xbox One when these specs are being put out there with no one having seem the system ... But it's not really the next-gen, so they're hamstringing themselves for the rest of this generation. It was just way too early, it's going to hurt them in market share, and give Sony an even further lead. It's just strange. I mean, if they had only announced the slim, I might have purchased one around Christmas ... But now, why? It's just weird. They should be in Scorpio silence mode and pushing the slim for the holidays.
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.
Scorpio is still supposedly hamstrung by the base XBO yes?
Meaning no Scorpio exclusives, so it seems likely that a 6TF machine with much better memory bandwidth and maybe a better CPU could take 1.3TF geared games and run them at 4K pretty easily.

lol... MS has had the best selling console in NA for the last 2 months.
Is Sony hamstringing themselves with their Slim and PS4 Pro? Are you buying either?
The Scorpio coming next year gives the One S a bit of breathing room, and if you want UHD Blu-ray then there's only one option.
And yet Sony throwing 4K in the title of every Pro game doesn't floor you at all, I imagine?I continue to be floored by the fervent belief in Scorpio.
They gave you one number and repeated enough times to get you to believe the unit is the second coming. Marketing.
There will be Scorpio exclusive games in the future.. mark my words.
Regardless, it's not going to be hamstrung any worse than PC already is. It's a relatively cheap box afterall...
Please put in 1080p/60fps alternative modes for your games as well. No way any of those games at 4k will be able to run at 60fps.

What's the GPU this thing will have?
.However, based on the differential in spec between Neo and Scorpio, it's unlikely that the new Microsoft console uses Polaris at all. A 40 CU part would need a mighty overclock to hit 6TF, and based on the rendered imagery we've seen, the heating assembly planned for Scorpio looks a little lacklustre. With that in mind, our money is on a downclocked version of AMD's upcoming Vega technology.

Hm makes me wonder if specs are final now
Didn't Spencer promise there won't be any Scorpio exclusives at E3?

For streamed video, I get this, but not for games. Unless you're baiting here and if so, you've hooked me.
Please give some examples because the person you quoted had many doubts himself. I don't see any outrageous claims in here at all.I continue to be floored by the fervent belief in Scorpio.

Personally, it's like night and day for me and really detracts from my gaming experience. I sit about 2m away from a 40" 1080p Samsung.It`s pretty close. I might need to get my eyes checked, but I want extra details and features more than resolution.

I'm sure he has. However, you have to advance the hardware at some point. It wont happen right away, but it will happen eventually once the hardware reaches a certain adoption level.
Same thing will happen with PS4 Pro being required when PS5 releases. Or something along those lines.
In the end I don't want it to be about a number, because 1080p isn't some mythical, perfect resolution. Frame rate to me is significantly more important to gameplay than resolution and the mix of those two which brings the right art style and freedom, whether it's on PlayStation or our platform.
What does this even have to do with what I said? One system exists, the other doesn't.
Take that console flag waving shit elsewhere or get blocked. I'm not here for it.
Developers were coding for PS4 Pro before the public even knew about it... imagine that.
Maybe people in the right positions know more than you do about the subject, and just because it hasn't been announced yet doesn't mean that it's not capable...
You're the 'things don't exist until I can see them' type eh? That's fine.. but you seem awfully upset that people believe that MS can do it. Maybe you should look at your own flag waving shit?
Hype? This is a important piece of new information, she's hardly hyping he's just stating what they're going for. It's not like he's all like OMG Scorpio is a monster the 4k games look amazing.they are going to try and ripe this vapor hype until the end of next year arent they..? My goodness.
Ok, but as stated before you've said that people are treating this console like the second coming of christ but there's no examples of that at all.I quoted him because I understood his viewpoint...
