highly doubt they show any new games including Forza 7, they will show already out games and maybe Shadow of Mordor on how much better they run. E3 will still be Forza7 outing. maybe we see forza 6& Horizon 3 on this beast.

I genuinely have no idea who's serious and who's joking in this thread lol.
The stuff about Digital Foundry being damaged by getting one of the biggest exclusives in years is just nuts.
Seems like a really smart move to give this to an independent (and recently critical) outlet. Digital Foundry are way too dull to buy into hype - if they say it's impressive that will carry a lot of weight (at least with those who are sane).
Personally I'm not a fan (of DF or Eurogamer) but it feels like Microsoft is very confident in what they are making, and are giving to DF and saying 'do your worst'.

There is an extension for chrome called "Shut Up" that I use on YouTube to hide all the comments.

Another example of why people in the game industry don't frequently post on this forum
Whilst I personally wouldn't go anywhere near as far as the poster your are quoting in regards to how personally it's been taken, Albert Penello did came onto GAF during the lead up to the XBOne launch and did almost nothing but lie and obfuscate. So it's not surprising he's burnt a few bridges.
Still, that was almost 4 years ago and he deserves another chance.

Curious, is this the first console ever that is officially revealed (read: not leaked) through third party outlets?
Holy shit, that's fucking awesome hahahahahaha !.

Why would 2016 E3 not count as the reveal? This is just a technical dive into what was already announced.

This thing better look stunning.
One S was a big visual improvement over the original so I'm hoping this bad boy will look even sexier.

Don't know if this is true because I didn't see it myself. But on Reddit someone said that in that tweet from Jez he later on says he hasn't seen or knows anything about what is in the system. Then I really wonder what he meant though.

Really well done, green lighting especially

Besides the need to name call its not entirely wrong. He came when he was selling the xbox one. Left and is now back when it's time to market the next console? It is shady. And was also filled with lies and broken promises.

He was here talking about bitstream audio in the fall. I dont see what the problem is, he isn't hiding his employer, and isn't starting threads.

To those saying that this is a niche scoop as DF is only for enthusiasts, you guys know once this info goes out every major outlet will cover it.
And honestly anyone (XBOX or Sony fanboys) who believe these guys at DF are inherently biased are dead wrong. I mained an XBOX as my primary console for 15+ years and I never blamed them for the poor showings in face-offs this gen. I blamed Mattrick. The folks at DF are stand up people that try their best to present their info honestly with research/visual proof.

SHUT UP
I'm on mobile but if you go back to the xbox one launch and see the things he was stating it would make more sense.
I'm not against companies coming and talking with the community. There is someone from respawn that does an awesome job. But his past lies were rather bad.
Anyway I'm rather excited to see what they can bring to the table. For me it's not hardware but the games. But am curious to know ow how it will all work together with the xbox one and if it just is their pro console.
Something would like to know is will it support yuv420 for people with 8 bit 4k panels lIke the ps4 pro.

Now you're in trouble for breaking NDA, but at least you didn't reveal the fact that they have a Half Life 3 exclusive.

Trying to find that tweet from Jez where he says there are huge surprises and all the good stuff. But I can't find it at all on Twitter, I just can't seem to find my way on Twitter. Anyone have the tweet?
That would suggest they are starting a new gen to some people.

I seriously doubt I will ever buy an Xbox again but the hype here is insane and wish I could be part of it! Looking forward to the DF article.
...but seriously, people should calm down or the disappointment will be huge.

Nah I'm calling it now: they are going to name it Xbox one-two. They have the one-two punch of true 4k and best in class vr.

Many think they need a new start. Also, I think they'll be going with permanent backwards compatibility from now on and no more "gens" as they done in the past.
edit: the specs and release date are already known actually: http://www.xbox.com/en-us/project-scorpio
So I guess we'll just be seeing the design and some games / tech demos?

Oh, there was a sudden increase I didn't know about?
That's good. Very good.
Witty replies, you are perfect for this thread.
Lol I know we're having fun here, but I hope you guys aren't serious with some of these specs, it's not going to be $2000 machine packed into a $500 package, some of the stuff posted here is not feasible at the price MS want. Temper your expectations, it'll be more powerful then Pro but not a generation ahead like some are saying imo (gut feeling)
They already did the first, I'd be up for playing it if they brought it to BC or ported it
