The Xbox Onesie

is astroneer and shadow mordor and good?
Shadow of Mordor is a must have, imo. It has some of the freshest features (in the nemesis system) that I had seen in a long time. I played a demo of Astroneer, and though it was very interesting in that direction-less sort of way.

I picked up ReCore for 20, and Unraveled for 5...
 
Picked up wolfenstein for 9 bucks (6-7 $US) and am loving it. Planning on shadow warrior too looks bloody.
 
Is that. It the speed of the smaller USB powered HDD like the MyPassport?
I think it is.
If that is good enough 4 u you will be fine.
My point to the person I quoted was...don't just aim for size but speed.
ie I rather have a 3tb 7200rpm or a 2tb sshd than a 5gb 5400rpm

After trying out Elder Scrolls Online during the fee week I thought what the hell and got it on the sale for $10. I like what I played and was addicted. Not a bad price. Looking forward to putting in some more time.

NA Server? I've been playing a lot of ESO lately.
 
I've seen people claiming the community here is delusional and expects god-like results from Scorpio, let's see exactly where we stand. My opinion is that we'll see mostly(60-70% or so) 4K games and some really graphically intensive titles we'll be just under the native resolution or checkerboard.

Phil said he was leaving it up do developers, there is no mandate on 4k and I've heard developers say they'd rather do other tricks with the extra power over ps4 pro.
 
Mostly 4K, with some checkerboard and maybe some lower than 4k as the generation progresses and games get heavier.
 
Xbox One -> Scorpio
1080p -> 4k w/ graphical improvements
900p -> 4k
720p -> FauxK

General rule of thumb.
 
Native 4k for every gotdamn title, guaranteed. (*1)

(*1) Native 4K claims based on the existing conversion rate between the US Dollar and the Mesopotamian shekel. All ties go to the runner. Guarantee consists of an autographed Don Mattrick wang shot, offer void if you are Macklemore, please stop asking.
 
No system will ever have every game being played at max res. At least not in recent times. 360/PS3 games never maxed at 1080p (a stretch), but they didn't even all hit standard 720p. Not all X1/PS4 games max out 1080p either.

Maybe those old NES and Genesis and PS1 days every game played at the same res because it seemed that was the only res around, but with recent gens having a wide spread of res options at developers fingertips, it comes down to what the dev wants.

No different than 30 fps vs 60 fps.

You can have the most powerful supercomputer in history being programmed to play a video game and I'm sure there will be some dev that will choose awesome visuals at 30 fps vs. another dev choosing less fancy graphics at 60 fps. Then there will be a dev that has an unlocked frame rate that wildly swings from 30-120 depending on what's happening.

As for res, just because a PC, monitor or video card can max out at a certain res, it doesn't mean a PC dev always makes a slider setting allowing gamers to max out at 4k assets (or whatever the max PC res spec is).

Not a chance. Scorpio will be very similar to the Pro at the end of the day. Most games will be fauxK or whatever the green teamers have been bashing the Pro for doing. Every first party game should be native 4K though. The console will have the power to do most games in native 4K but i just don't see most developers going out of their way to cater to Microsoft. It's PS2 vs. Xbox all over again.
