I have a One S and a PS4 Slim. I'm picking up a 4K tv later this year. If the Scorpio was $399 or less I was gonna get that. PS4 Pro it is then!

$499 ain't competitive.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
If it had a PS4-amount of quality exclusives and VR with its own set of quality games then $499 would be alright. I swear that teaser they had hinted at $400 at most.

Why bother buying a Scorpio for $500 for the 3 exclusive games it'll get, when you can buy a PS4 Pro for half the price with 95% of the exact same games?

Oh right 4k

I still say they release at 400. I wouldn't put it past the Doritos Pope to be in on this marketing stunt to get everyone expecting 499 just for MS to "shock" us all and say $399!!!

I think there's also just nothing they really can show thats's going to make it look like it's worth it unless they come out with a big surprise. Especially since Red Dead 2 seems like it's off the table. I don't think Crackdown 2 really looks pretty in the way you'd want to show off.

It's competitive if you're thinking "Should I get a GTX 1070 which is good or a slightly better Xbone which is already bad"

According to the page...

quote:

Twitch Crates are your own personal treasure chests filled with loot. You can open them right away or stash them away for later. Each Twitch Crate contains random rewards like chat badges, emotes, or Bits. The emotes and badges in Twitch Crates range from common to very rare. The only way to see what you’ve got is to open your crate! You can earn Twitch Crates with any game or in-game purchase of $4.99 or more on Twitch.

They're going to jerk 4K as hard as if they were Jobs-era apple presenting something invented and rolled out a decade ago, but they should manage actual (indistinguishable in actual gameplay from the PS4 Pro checkerboard rendering) 4K with the GPU power, so some forums will be super happy. As for games, if Halo gets a Win10 version, DED.

Forza 7 on October 3rd says an ad. Scorpio version later?

In order for Scorpio to be competitive it would need, on release:

-The best racing game ever
-A new good Soul Calibur
-An exclusive Destiny expansion that emails a PS4 user a picture of all the loot you are getting.
-Scalebound but good and free and an MMO that came with the system so the automatic user base is "everyone who owns the console owns the game
-Somekind of skylanders/Disney infinity cash grab
-the worlds first realistic sex VR with a program that emails all the sex your having to the same PS4 user that gets your destiny loot emails.

As long as any new exclusives they announce are also coming to the PC I will have no purpose for my Xbox other than to be a place for my 4 year old to play shooter man games and Minecraft.


I honestly do not give a gently caress about 4K that much. I wouldn't even get a 4K TV if it weren't for the fact that all new (good) TVs will be.

I'm probably sounding way too old man but 1080p is good enough

Essentially. If they break that promise, an e3 stage promise, they'll eat a lot of poo poo.

Probably wont drop xb1 until the next console launch and scorpio becomes the lovely one

No, Microsoft never said this. Project Scorpio from the start has always been billed as an enthusiast console that would be expensive. Microsoft has been very upfront that they don't expect everyone to want to rush out and buy this, it's a niche system, and that is their own words.

If the $499 Scorpio supported Steam alongside the Win10 layer it would make a great Steambox. Other than maybe lacking installation and usage of game mods.

One thing I don't understand is what their strategy is with this. Like, why. Does this make up market share? Is this an attempt to gain developers? I mean, third party games will (potentially) look and run better on the Scorpio, but who cares at this point in a console generation? It's not like people will be like, "Oh guess the nine hundred billion people who own a PS4 will switch now."
