really surprised they straight-up said 4k gaming

that's... not actually possible, even if it costs $1000, right?

The 360 rendered at 480 and upped to 720. The scorpio will do something similar

They haven't gone into the same level of detail but their vision is you buy a game digitally and play it on whatever you want.

but their games already have a white list for what they run on on the win10 store. will games post 2018 have scorpio on that list and not one the way current 3d card requiring games don't show surface?

true its a figment much like the actual console will be when occulus gets shut down next year after losing all its marketshare to htc and sony and the bone is unceremoniously put to pasture. but it begs the question, why render it to have 12 gbs of gddr5 if that's not the plan

idk, I gotta admit I can't put my whole heart into the "lol your exclusives are gone" thing because who the hell is going to put up with even half of the WIN10/GFWL2.0 bullshit we hear about. It's more like a weird ploy to get people to buy a game, realize it's taking a vicious beating from their weirdo bear trap ecosystem and then deciding to say gently caress this I'll just spend 120 bucks on a used OG xbone and play it there.

Then you get the Bone and realize it's hosed too and hopefully you forget 2 years later and buy a Scorpio because you heard it's going to run that game with a solid framerate and you won't get made fun of for bad ram anymore.

windows 10 gaming might get better over the next 18 months ha. the xb1 will not

the ps4 'exclusive' list is still full of bullshit and/or bad games that I will never play. In fact sony has lost all its best exclusives. There was a long time when final fantasy and gta and metal gear solid were playstation exclusives, or do we have such short memories? The console war rages on, as a new xbox enters the ring. (bad analogy) If the bone can't kill m$, what can??

eurogamer on price:
But there is an elephant in the room here: price. Microsoft's brief to AMD in producing this behemoth of a semi-custom design looks pretty obvious - to create the most powerful console possible. The GPU is more powerful and it's going to be larger, which means it's going to be more expensive to produce. Meanwhile, assuming we're right about the 4GB of additional memory, that's not going to be cheap either - when we attended AMD's Munich launch event for Fury X and the Radeon 300 series, we were told that adding an additional 4GB of GDDR5 to the R9 390/390X cost around them around $30 per unit. In short, we would not be surprised to see Scorpio cost significantly more than Neo - maybe even $100 more.

tldr: Scorpio will cost over 100 dollars more than neo just on ram alone before factoring in the Vega chip

phil spencer on no gamer left behind:
Game developers will be able to use Project Scorpio's 6 teraflops of GPU power in any way they wish, and won't be forced to hit a native 4K resolution, head of Xbox Phil Spencer suggested in a video posted earlier this week.
Speaking in the video (below), Spencer explained that Scorpio is a "6 teraflop gaming machine, which will be a great gaming machine for true 4K gaming, giving you a native 4K frame buffer so you can see games in all their beauty.
"Or," he continued, "if developers want to use those 6 teraflops in other ways they're free to do that."

tldr: scorpio will let devs do whatever they want. 4k isn't mandatory and scorpio only modes aren't off the table

Patter Song posted:

If you're going to do that, you might as well mention Superman 64, which had the option to toggle the resolution down to 20%. Given that it was in 320x240 anyway, 20% of that...

And it actually raised the framerate if you lowered the resolution. Truly ahead of its time.

they probably launched the debug version of the game instead of making a final version because everything was on fire at the studio
