Clearly downgraded.

edit: unless this is what the NX version will look like.  Which would be sweet.

It's a fan edit fake.

There was too many games anyway...there still is. My backlog doesn't lie.

Quantity vs variety I guess.

I have no idea what you're saying.

Most people I see on the internet on GAF or even here, when they are talking about this gen - they aren't complaining about the quantity of released games but how familiar they are to each other. So it's not about having way too many games - it's about there not being enough variety to interest people who want that. Which is why you're seeing people saying things like "this is the most boring gen" - or "there's nothing that interests me" etc.

That's how I interpret it.

People say that but I disagree. People have said that in the previous 3 gens too.

Like right now in terms of games from this gen, I have on my slate:

• Xcom 2
• Xenoblade
• DOOM
• Pillars of Eternity
• Dreamfall Chapters
• Pokken Tournament
• Batman AK
• Divinity Original Sin

I mean, how much more variety do you need?

Project Scorpio won't have any exclusives  

No exclusives, no benefit on a 1080p tv, sounding better by the day Phil

Scorpio won't do anything for you if you don't have a 4K TV

Spencer says - Still running a 1080p TV? Then you should forget about buying Xbox Scorpio.

XB1 S Extra CPU, GPU power "will have no impact at all" Microsoft says

Xbox One S will have "literally no impact" on game performance, says Microsoft

Shoots down reports the new system's hardware will provide boosts to frame rate and resolution.

Seriously what am I reading here? So the BOSS of Xbox is saying that unless you have a 4KTV you should NOT buy Scorpio. And assuming it's primed for VR you should NOT buy one if you don't own or plan to own an expensive VR headset, either. The Boss of Xbox is saying it will have NO exclusives. All games will play on XB1 and should you buy a Scorpio it will give you no benefit on your 1080p tv. What the fuck is the point of launching it then?

And to top things off, the XB1 S - despite having extra CPU and GPU power, it will "literally have no impact at all" on game performance. WTF?? They could have used the opportunity to slightly bump up XB1 S specs so it could match if not slightly exceed PS4.

Well the Scorpio IS going to be the best console out there...pretty much what the Xbone should have been. Its beyond Neo and well, yeah NX probably won't match either. It doesn't make sense to say don't buy it to play on a 1080p tv though...I mean the games could still run better...VR games will still make it where to go, etc. I'd say the "don't play on a 1080p tv" motto would be better aimed at the Xbone s console, since that one is simply designed for 4k tv viewing with nothing gaming related. Spencer doesn't make any sense sometimes. This would be like saying back in the day on the original Xbox "well we designed this with widescreen and digital surround in mind, so don't buy it if you're playing on a 4:3 tube tv with no digital stereo". WTF?

I don't buy for a minute that all games will remain playable on the old PS4/Xbone that they're trying to say. Bullshit. VR games won't...otherwise, what's the point? The Scorpio is powerful enough to be a true next-gen system. And it is....as I said we won't see new consoles after next year until at least 2021. They're not going to spend time developing these and then just replace them. The base model Xbone will get phased out and then more and more games will maybe not REQUIRE the Scorpio or Neo, but will damn well play a hell of a lot smoother on them. Almost like with PC....yeah Vladimir can play this brand new cutting edge game on his 8 year old GPU with crappy settings, sure. But is it the same experience that Igor is having down the street with his brand new gtx 1080? LOL no.

This is what will happen with these consoles, mark my fuckin' words. But Spencer...don't buy it to play on a 1080p tv? What if you want better playing games and a faster machine? Fuckin' nimrod.

Agree, mostly. They will eventually phase out the consoles that launched in 2013 like they are dropping PS3/360 versions quietly this gen.

I don't get the no exclusives thing though. It means that on a machine that is 6 teraflops, the design of your game is going to constrained by the 1.2 teraflop XB1 because it has to run on it. And if it's not worth buying a Scorpio unless you have to fork out for a damned expensive 4KTV, it makes it kinda irrelevant unless you are dead set on buying an expensive VR headset. Either way... this is not going to be cheap.

I really can't stand this "new iteration halfway through a generation" thing.

I feel that it gimps the hardware significantly by having it tied down for "version parity" reasons, and that I have to worry about missing the best offerings to play my games every few years.

Well I don't have a 4K tv and I'll be buying a Scorpio, in fact I'm really looking forward to buying one.

Phil is telling you not to. Listen to Phil, mindless robot human.
