Phil would have all the metrics to know how it's performing vs last gen better than anyone in that thread.

Even when your right there will always be someone to say otherwise.

It has been so crazy. Scorpio has to do something so radical that SONY can't touch for another couple of years or MS have to use something in their software that its only done in WINDOWS.

Right now from what I see the media is ready to destroy Phil in every way possible.

Also, Phil needs to kill off this nice guy sh*t to SONY can start putting in check with that power MS have.

I don't think Phil has to do anything really. Just keep doing what he's doing.

With Scorpio coming out, it'll have the best console games and best third party versions. No different than any other console generation. The highest powered system always gets the highest fidelity gaming. Just like a good PC rig gets an even better looking and performing game.

It's like a BMW vs a Honda Civic. A Civic sells more, and you have tons of teenagers and 20-something guys modding the car with endless parts, but it's still a Civic. All that time and money could be spent on a better car from the get-go.

I'll take the BMW.

I think those opinions are a little overblown and kind of mob-mentality based. But I do kind of get the feeling that Microsoft isn't really all that interested in making games. Or at least great single player experiences.

Scorpio seems like a way for Microsoft to get superior third party games to help turn the tide. I hope I'm wrong and Phil is getting ready to unveil a ton of new stuff at E3.

If E3 comes and goes and it's all currently known games running Scorpio enabled features. I'll be disappointed.

Quantum Break is one of my favorite single player experiences this gen. Granted they didn't make it.

Yeah I'm liking it the second time around.
I'd like to see Microsoft with an answer to Horizon Zero Dawn or God of War. Stuff like that.

I don't think they did, actually.

The game has dynamic scaling up to 1080p. I'm pretty sure that I read a quote saying that it should run at it's max resolution (1080p) all of the time. (keeping 60fps, of course)

If something has been confirmed where they say 4K, please link that, and thank you ahead of time for the correction.

They didn't. They DID say that it would be easy to get it to 4k with minimal effort, if I recall...

I feel like the game shines more when you know what to expect from it. It's got an incredible story for any medium, imo.

I enjoyed the second playthrough much more. Still watched all the show too.

I was ultra hyped for it since the first footage. I remember seeing the first footage and wondering how they composited the actress to be frozen in time without it looking like green screen....then I realised it was game footage...and this was a point when some though the xbone would look barely better than WiiU. I ended up being disappointed with it. Conceptually it was OK, but it felt 2 hours short with too little platforming/stutter navigation. The combat was ok, but not great and i didnt like playing as serene, it kinda slowed everything down. I didn't like the delays either.

A sequel could have been better, but I don't think Remedy meshes with MS launch dates.

Here is an article that the media is heavily against MS. Media bias is real folks!

Its amazing how the narrative changed from last gen when MS was allegedly coasting on 3rd party deals and call of duty dlc during the holidays despite releasing significant releases on a yearly basis. Now Sonys holidays are regularly emptier than a hermits address book its ok because they have marketing for destiny and cod.

Biased article from biased site about biased people? Kind of funny.

People should be allowed to have opinions on Twitter. Some of you people take this stuff too seriously.

Pretty sure people would say the exact same stuff to Sony if they had a figure head responding to twitter like Phil does. People like to hide behind keyboards. These people would not say this stuff to Phil or Kaz's face if they saw them in person.

I agree but those tweets weren't even directed towards Phil and they weren't even that bad. People need to get over the persecution complex and just enjoy the system.
 
People really need to get over who said what in the past. Even if you were personally wronged (unlikely), all you do is perpetuate this bulls***. Forever. Who cares?!

Well that site is ridiculously biased towards Microsoft. It almost reads like one of us started the site.

Bout Fuking time of you ask me. I enjoy my console no matter what as how many the competition sells is of no consequence. But to pretend there isn't a major unbalance in the way Xbox is perceived by the media is self delusional.

I'm not disagreeing. I'm saying that is a fanboy site.

Say what about Xbox? I don't care that that site is biased towards Xbox.

Let me as you do you think those tweets in that article are really out of line?
 
Sold my Xbox one last week in anticipation of Scorpio. Really hoping to hear they are gonna have a VR add on at launch.

My gut tells me that VR support won't be there at launch, but maybe the following Fall.

Also, just saw this link on another site, All three of these titles are Xbox Play Anywhere games:
