That's what i'm talking about. They have the tech for some amazing games. Let's go!
Hope you're wrong, but I could see it ending up a shell of what they are aiming for.
Nahhh. Not at this point. A reliable, non-MS source was quoted about 6-8 months ago as saying it had had its difficulties, just like every game does during developement, but that it was looking and playing great.
I think CD is going to be the flagship title for Scorpio. It's unique enough, and the original creator has been working on it since Day 1. I wasn't as big a fan of CD2, but the CD is one of my all-time favs.
I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic, but this is my most anticipated game by far at this point, including anything that has been announced for any system (for unreleased games).
RDR 2 is a close 2nd.

What they were trying to do is very ambitious. Open world destructible environments? That was always a big task. Waiting for Scorpio doesn't help, because they aren't supposed to make Scorpio exclusives, so it has to run on the regular X1 (unless they change that but they have repeated that a million times).
Sure, but that's still not close to a Crackdown type environment, and the few buildings that do tumble are heavily scripted (and grind the game to a slideshow halt while it happens too).
I haven't done any real low light shooting. The fireball that I see coming out of my Five-seveN at the range makes me believe it would be a bad choice for that. I'll have to make it a point to go do some low light shooting and see if that is the case.Yeah. Pretty much blind in low light anyways. Tracers are always cool though! The real b**** is shooting with your gas mask on... Might as well go burst and pray you don't shoot the wrong person!
We always had flash suppressors. I was actually surprised my first time, as I expected more flash.
Five-seven, huh? How is that to shoot? Seems like the round is a bit small for a pistol, but I've never shot one. Low recoil? How's the stopping power? I've only got a .40 cal glock. Don't like it much, but I haven't shot it much either- need to. I did qualify expert with the 9mm Beretta and 12 gauge shotgun (the 870?) when I re-classed to MP in the Reserve, but I didn't have a need for handguns in the Active Duty Army-
That was all M-4, M-16, M240B, M249, M2 (50 cal), and Mk 19s (amongst other larger weapon systems).
As far as pistols go, I've owned a Glock 17 and a Springfield XD 9. I currently own a FN FNS-9 (love it) and the Five-seveN. I've also shot a large variety of other pistols and calibers and the Five-seveN is by far my favorite pistol. The thing is full size but only weighs 22 ounces. The recoil is less than that of a 9mm. Mine has a great crisp trigger at about a 5.5lb pull (some 5.7s aren't as good). Your standard target ammo you buy at your local gun store aren't anything to write home about, but you can buy specialty defense ammo from places like Elite Ammunition that can defeat IIIa body armor. The S4M load i have in mine comes out at over 2400 fps. That's from a pistol. That's getting to about 380 foot pounds, so it actually is a very capable self defense round.
I'm taking it to a 4 day defensive hand gun course next week, so I'll really be able to put it through its paces. Up to this point, it's had amazing reliability through about 1000 rounds.
the downside is the ammo and the gun itself is a bit expensive, but if you watch for deals on Palmetto State Armory, you can get a box of 50 for $14.99, which is.pretty good.
It's super fun to shoot and the only.pistol I can get my wife to shoot. I literally could go on for pages and pages about this gun.

I did. Drove me crazy though. Trying to get achievements and can't find the orbs because there's no in game system to help you find them. First Infamous game was the same way.
That would be great but that tease could mean anything since E3 isn't far away either. Hope so. Crackdown is still the game I'm most excited about in 2017.
Yeah, I agree. It's just kind of an odd time to announce "info is right on the horizon", when it seems like a certain big reveal of some sort is also right on the horizon, with Eurogamer and Scorpio. If they would have said this on Friday...
I'm hoping they show something soon, but I think tomorrow will really just be a 'tech paper.' *Maybe* they'll mention that they saw CD running on it, but I don't think we'll get any video just yet.
There will be too much discussion tomorrow anyways about Scorpio itself. Better to wait a few days and then drop some info/vids so people will be able to focus more specifically on that.
It's pretty obvious what even he is alluding to.
The Miss Teen USA 2017 Beauty pageant would be quiet the get, to show stuff exclusively.
I hear Bo Derek and Mario Lopez will be there!!!!
And the winner is...MISS TENNESSEE.........wait....I'm sorry, I had the wrong envelope. MISS SCORPIO!!
Wait, will Mario Lopez just be there, or will he be working? Because he couldn't MC his way out of a nut sack.
