So when Scorpio is just a glorified Xbox One that barely runs games at 4k like the Pro then we'll revisit this discussion. Sorry guys, you can let yourselves continue to fall for Microsoft's tricks but i already took an L this gen supporting their original vision with Xbox One. I said it would get better, and it did but now they're right back to where they started this gen.

Doesn't matter to me at the end of the day. I play my Xbox more than most of the hardcore Xbox guys on this board. Like i said, Xbox will always have a place in my home. PS4 is just the better console this gen though. It's as simple as that. Was actually thinking about hooking up my cablebox to my X1 for the first time so it can get some use. Been getting dusty lately with all the great PS exclusives coming out.

At least then it'll be based on something. By the way- it IS a "glorified Xbox One", lol. It has NEVER been sold as a new generation.

That's all i've been saying since day one but people keep putting words in my mouth. Like my opinion doesn't matter because i prefer PS4, lol. I don't think Sea of Thieves or Crackdown 3 are going to tip the scale for Microsoft. It's just how i feel. They need to have more, and if they don't they're in big trouble.

Part of the reason why they lost this gen is because they royally screwed up the end of last gen. If they don't start getting things right then i don't know if there is a future for Xbox. If they're competing with Comcast and Apple TV they might be okay but as far as gaming goes, why get an Xbox when PC is better and has all the games?

Recent Sega news has been eye catching. Both MS and Sega are sitting on a gold mine of IP's. Both have recently stated they want to up their publishing game. MS is struggling outside the US and Sega could use the boost in the west. There has to be some common ground interest there. Sega is interesting because they are one of only a handful of Japanese publishers that have IP's that can appeal worldwide including Japan and the west.

I'm hopping for some Sega n MS love for PC n Xbox crossplay and crossbuy baby making magic

Because plenty of people prefer to game on console. The PC argument has always been a fanboy argument. If we wanted to game there, we already would. It's a wholly different animal.
 
Well i'm sure in most cases developers will want to take advantage of the hardware but Destiny 2 is already setting the precedent. That if it's a hassle to get games running at 4k/60fps then devs are likely to go the 4k/30fps route. Let's hope devs go the extra mile and don't settle for being on par with what the Pro can offer.
Guys on Scorpio will be playing against X1 owners, It will need to comply with that (unfair advantage if not), not Pro.
 
Please. People should just friggin' wait until the official reveal at E3. Everyone talking about how it will be this or that. Speculation. You shouldn't make any decision until you get real info. MS is not going to talk about it until then, and people are talking out their asses.

Save your feelings until afterward. Getting disappointed,and trying to project your or others theories onto at this point is stupid.

Do you even Internet, bro?!

So, Xbox needs games, especially JRPGs, and are partnering with SEGA... SHINING FORCE AM CONFIRM!

(Okay, so the developer works with Nintendo now, but if we acknowledge facts it'll throw the whole thread out of balance.)
 
Project CARS 2 developer says PlayStation 4 Pro won't hold back the Xbox Scorpio version

http://www.icxm.net/x/project-cars-...pro-will-not-hold-back-scorpio-may-24-17.html

"We may go higher resolution on Scorpio compared to Pro, or we may keep lower res but increase detail. Again, too early to say, and if we can do something extra on Scorpio easily we will do, we won’t hold it back due to Pro."

:grin:

But they can't do that because the CPU is holding them back. I'm sure the usual suspects here will go set them straight.

(I realized we don't have an official sarcasm font, so that will have to do).

The funniest comments are the ones that Xbox one is holding back Scorpio.

How is that xbox one is holding Scorpio back, but ps4 pro(3x more powerful than Xb1) isn't? Makes no sense.

Because Sony's powerful GPU can perform two 16 bit operations at the same time, while MS can only perform one 32 bit operation in that time. :crazy:

Nice. That's a step in the right direction. Developers need to smell blood. Sony is a wounded animal right now. Xbox may never come back from the sales gap but no reason why Scorpio can't go the OG Xbox route and deliver the best looking and performing games.
 
TD, I don't want to be insensitive...but you bipolar bro?

If not, you might need a break from gaming. Nobody should be this stressed out over plastic that cost a few hundred dollars.
