- Thread starter Strootman
- Start date
bring back the duke too!
You think they meetings are like:
Yoshida: Damn guys, we've been so lucky with Q1 this year. I couldn't be happier. We didn't do any strategic moves at all.

Not trying to derail the thread, but if Scorpio is supposed to attract a bigger audience then...
Diversity can mean many things. Tokenism and diversity isn't the same thing. Early in the gen they were killing PS4 on exclusives but it wasn't noticed cause of the negative vitriol surrounding the system. Since then lineup isn't as diverse as it began and I'm not a major Japanese gamer either.

Because the purpose of it isn't just to upscale Xbox one to 4k, it's their first forward and backward comparable console to blur the lines between gens. They COULD get away with jag, but that would totally hamper them when the next upgrade released 3-4 years from now.
It's actually quite diverse from a genre perspective, but if you threw genre diversity aside and looked at it from a different angle, I agree it can look quite similar. Exclusives are predominantly games that require a Live subscription to use to their fullest, they are mostly western and they consist of either endless chapters in the same three franchises or one and done collaboration projects. Mostly.
From that perspective it lacks diversity. There're very few exclusives for solo gamers, fans of japanese games or those that aren't into their pillar franchises.

Get ready for some fake or real leaks before Thursday...You know someone is going to claim to have some info...before we get the info...
Even the Xbone subreddit has been very negative to the 2017 lineup.
Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, Forza... On my mind.

I'd like to see the return of the black and white buttons that the original Xbox controller (The Duke) featured.
A specific date hasn't been confirmed has it?
I'd love to pick up an XBO but at this point it would be cool to just wait for a "Scorpio" and check the next level stuff on that.
What they really need though are some killer first party apps. XBO has some great titles but (FH3 aside) no GOATs, unlike Ninty and SonY.
A really special couple of titles would sell me the thing in a heartbeat. I was happy to pick up a Switch JUST for Zelda. That's the power a great game has.
Lol

Yeah, it was ace, true beast.
I think Scorpio will be a slightly bigger gun metal/black Xbox One S.

Yeah, 4K is no easy feat. Check things out on the PC side. They need a good CPU AND GPU to power games at 4K effectively. I believe it's in the tea leaves: It's all XBOX ONE from now on. XBOX ONE Scorpio. XBOX One Murcielago. XBOX ONE Moccasin. The platform grows.
It's not "just XBOX One games" as if that's some indictment of quality. These developers are very talented and will get the most out of these systems just as they do on PC today. Their engines, and let's face it many games use UE4, will have customizable presets for the different consoles.

A million times this. You can argue that Scorpios power might not be fully taken advantage of but if you're going for the PCesque forward/backward compatibility route then you absolutely need the extra power to pave the way for when the next upgrade rolls around.

I want MS to prove me wrong. I've been incredibly skeptical about the Scorpio but I'm hoping this will be something to make Sony scared. I'm worried Sony's just gonna keep coasting and I want both sides getting great experiences. Microsoft has a lot to prove with this new system and a less than stellar lineup going forward. I hope they have some good surprises in store. When both companies fight their hardest it's the consumers who come out on top, and that's what I'm hoping for this holiday.

Seamus Blackley is actually working on a Duke controller for the Xbox One. MS gave the ok and he's been working on it since last year.
built in microphone for Cortana maybe?

I know the whole lineup. So if I don't like HALO wars what do I have to play if I have another console? Last fall if I'm burned out on Gears I got what? What am I going to play exclusively this Spring? Summer? Last Summer? Look me up on XBL Homie, Drew Daddi
I want MS to succeed! I want them to come with it! I hope they make me want a Scorpio! I don't understand why wanting more exclusives is seen as a bad thing?

I can write the exact same thing for PS4. Nothing beside Uncharted 4 has impressed me. Havent even turned on PS4 this year. Look me up on PSN Homie iBandar

I was listening to Major Nelson Radio (podcast) and Graeme Boyd (AceyBongos, Xbox Social Marketing, Scottish guy) was a guest.
I decided to out 2+2 together though and came up with 4k Scoprio.
Here are a few things which loosely link to this leak.
- The hosts a few times mentioned 'that thing we can't talk about yet'
- Graeme Boyd was over in the US for 'conferences'
- Lots of talk about preparing for what could be E3, although it felt like something was happening sooner
A real tenuous link, I know. But I am looking for anything on Scorpio. Need it in my veins.

Yup i think thats what everyone expected.
This makes it sound like they are very confident

They couldn`t have showcased a more boring game in my opninion. It`s probably one of few games to run at 4K 60fps.
Of course they are confident, but this does just seem like a typical reveal. Specs, Forza and talking about the tech. Nothing really outside the norm here.
I do think the original intent was a ravens Ridge cpu. I think some time this fall AMD could not deliver and it will be stuck with a puma. I am going by the vr announcement at E3 that made it sound like they be supporting one of the pc solutions that would need a I5 level cpu. Then the vr was removed from the Scorpio's web page then we get then shortly after MS shows off their own vr solution. The vr solution seemed very rushed to me something that was not planned. But was plan B after AMD dropped the ball.
Your point is exactly why a zen cpu is needed for their generationless approach.

It'll still be this holiday. They are just trying to get the info train rolling.
I mean, if you don't like ps4 exclusives that's ok. But let's not try to argue the ps4 has the same offer of the xbone in terms of exclusives because it's unfair.I can write the exact same thing for PS4. Nothing beside Uncharted 4 has impressed me.

Wasn't there a rumor that MS was developing some kind of motion interpolation to get games to "60 fps". My TV can do motion interpolation and it works very well for very specific games. It'd be pretty amazing to get the tech to a place where it is suitable for gaming. I reckon it'd change a lot of things in the industry.
Nah. It'll be out later this year.

No typical reveal would be they hype up and talk about how many billion transistors they have and give you top level hardware spec.
Giving it to a publication most likely DigitalFoundry, who will tear down piece by piece. Has not been done before for any hardware reveal.
Of course not, I am not saying that. I agree PS has more diverse library. But all I am saying is 95% of those does not attract someone like me. And Yes I know that I am in minority.

I don't think it's easy to make 4K games. They just started

He's making a podcast and will answer the questions you post on his twitter.

That would be brilliant especially if it was convincing enough for FH2 and FH3.

Do you think they will do a tent event again?
If I recall correctly we had quite a bit of fun Photoshopping the different photos of the tent.
