Was in my local GAME yesterday where they are running a pre-pre order list for Scorpio.

Why can't they just start taking deposits? I will still be pre-ordering on Amazon and GAME anyway

With how Amazon royally screw up my Xbox One orders and the super f*** up of their Switch orders, I'd make sure I'd do it in person at a local store.

As long as you pre-order quick on Amazon you should be fine. Unless the price point is really low, I don't see these being that hard to get. I don't remember anyone having issues getting the PS Pro.
 


My biggest take:

" We know Turn 10 is on Forza, 343 is busy with Halo (which won’t surface this year), The Coalition is working with Gears (which again likely won’t show up), Rare is all hands on deck (no pun intended) with Sea of Thieves which we’re all acquainted with, and Cloudgine is getting ready to finally show their hard work with Crackdown 3. I’m genuinely trying to think of where new first party announcements may come from, but I can’t. Unless there’s a secret studio or two of hundreds of people tucked away somewhere, they’re all known quantities. And Phil Spencer’s said in the past that he’s not big on exclusive third party partnerships."

He is essentially saying that Microsoft won't have any new games, and can't have new games because they have no studios. However, he didn't touch base on MS doing their 2nd/3rd party stuff like State of Decay 2, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dead Rising 4, Horizon from Playground games, etc. MS may have their internal studios making their bread winners, but what is stopping MS from hiring out companies like they always do?

Shinobi hasnt leaked MS stuff in years, despite there being plenty of stuff that could have leaked. Its entirely possible MS built other studios in secret. They've done it before.

And the third party comment really means nothing as they just did Dead Rising last year.
 
They ain't telling Shinobi s***e.......they tried on the release of the X1 to get him on board and he crucified the launch and they don't forget....even Gaf have now turned on him.

No way are we having the Scorpio delivered without exclusives and big home hitting surprises

Stupid Shinobi not being a shill for Microsoft. Shame on him!
 
I wonder how much software Microsoft has in development for VR? They could have some partnerships outside of the usual studios.
 
Many of Microsoft's past exclusives have been third-party partnerships where they publish the game. Spencer said right after the cancellation of Scalebound that they'll always do that. So the theory that they will no longer be working with partners for exclusives due to the last cancellation really doesn't make sense.

Why did GAF turn on him? Didn't know GAF didn't like him. GAF typically loves all rumour-spreaders.

Some people gave him a hard time because he was hyping Mass Effect just before it came out so he stopped posting. Its pretty stupid.

It wasn't really GAF turning him it was just a few idiots.
 
No they didn't why waste time quoting with dumb stuff?
Actually Kvally is right. All Xbox One controllers when plugged in, shut off the radio and work wired. I recall this from launch and found this reference from IGN:
  • When you plug a micro-USB cable into the controller for wired play the internal radio is shut off and all data is transmitted through the wire. In this mode the controller can be used without batteries.

That's kool and all but..
Its not the same as being wired though.
I do not want to use a micro usb cable that's very cumbersome IMO.

Hmm. Don't find it cumbersome at all. Plugs in the USB slot like any other controller. I sometimes use my Elite Controller wired and have had no issues with it. You can purchase a 10 foot micro USB cable on Amazon cheap.

How do you find the adapter to use Xbox controllers on PlayStation a viable solution but a micro USB wire vs traditional controller wire a cumbersome option?

I don't like that type of connection and yes I have the same gripe with the ds4.
Not sure what that adapter has to do with what I'm saying.
 
The Elite controller is wired. It comes with a 9 foot cord high end and you take out the batteries and it's 100 percent wired.

You are wrong and everyone else is right
 
What i didnt like about the elite controller the back piece keys are different then the xbox one original controllers.

I have a dock station for my controllers and MS made the back part with different keys. So i cant use the batteries.

Why the hell they did that?
