Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
What do you expect out of Xbox's E3 Conference?
- Thread starter ForkNetwork
- Start date
That's what I've been saying. People act like just because the PS4 Pro wasn't shot to the moon and back with advertising the Scorpio won't be treated like an event by Microsoft.
Last year, Sony had to deal with launching the Pro, the slim, and PSVR. That, and they are far ahead of the game. Thanks to their position, they have no incentive to make tons of noise about the mentioned hardware. Microsoft on the other hand do.
Of course Scorpio isn't a new generation, but lets not pretend that Microsoft won't treat it like the next big thing come E3 and holiday this year.
And awesome.
Shinobi said something about it, unless they have a studio hidden he doesn't know about or something like that.
Anyways
- Start off with Scorpio similar to the XB1 S E3 2016. Leave the price out.
- Say how they're focusing on games people will be playing before E3 2018 and bring up the cancellation of Scalebound as to why they don't want to announce games so far out. Mention how they have great games coming in 2018 and to stay tuned to E3 2018 to find out more. IF rumours are true about a bleak 2018+, this buys them a year aswell.
- Walk on stage and say all MS first party games will come with three modes (XB1 mode, 1080/60/bells and whistles mode, 4K XB1 graphics mode). Say all games shown today will be played on Scorpio and every title shown will be capable of running at native 4K, show off the games in 1080/60/bells and whistles mode.
(Games in no particular order)
- Crackdown 3. Comes with 1+2 BC and Halo 6 beta
- Sea of Thieves
- State of Decay 2
- Forza 7
- Cuphead, Ashen, Below, One or two other big indie games
- Ori 2
- Indie sizzle reel
- AAA game releasing that fall (Possible remaster)
- Assassins Creed
- FIFA 18
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Trailer for VR showing off Minecraft, Forza 7, Fallout 4, Skyrim and others.
- Platform features coming soon and maybe a mention about BC.
- Close the conference off with Phil saying "Oh one last thing, we forgot something at the beginning of our conference.. Scorpio will be $399 starting this October" *drops mic*
A genius move back in the day, which actually got many people to buy Crackdown.

I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst.
If the whole conference is only scorpio and halo/gears/forza, I'm gonna be disappointed.
I hope they show more than that while also showing the nitty gritty details of the scorpio. Fully expecting a 400-450 price tag.

Why?
Yea but "most insiders agree"...
*refers to 2 insiders
top kek
In my opinion, $399 isn't really a mic-drop moment, unless it's like 6.5-7TF or has a Zen CPU.
They said it will have a 6tflops GPU so it's going to be more powerful than that anyway when you factor in CPU etc. But I don't know how many tflops that would add
There's also Frankies comments about it being beefier than expected, so I think it's definitely gonna be more powerful than just 6 tflops but by how much who knows.
Nah a good i7 only has like ~180 GFLOPS, CPUs aren't measured on that metric.They said it will have a 6tflops GPU so it's going to be more powerful than that anyway when you factor in CPU etc. But I don't know how many tflops that would add
^^
@ $450 so cpu is not gimped
Forget about what I expect. Here is what I want. This is mostly copy/pasted from another thread but I've edited the list slightly.
1) E3 starts with Scorpio reveal. Priced at $399. Designed to look like Xbox One S, but slightly bigger. Sleek, runs cool, with internal power supply, 6.5TF, Zen processor. November 2017 release date.
*Microsoft confirms that all Xbox One games will run on Scorpio, and any game that has dynamic resolution or dynamic frame rate will automatically receive modest bumps. I.E. if Witcher 3 dips from 30fps to 25fps occasionally on Xbox One, it will no longer do so on Scorpio. If Halo 5 dips from 1080p to 720p occasionally on Xbox One, it will no longer do so on Scorpio.
*Microsoft also announces that just like PS4 Pro, games can have Scorpio patches for vastly improved performance, which includes downsampled 1080p for owners of normal HDTVs, and 1440p/4K resolution for other games. Multiple options (such as 1440p/60fps and 4k/30fps) will be available, just like PS4 Pro.
*All 360 BC games will also be BC on Scorpio. And they will run better on Scorpio.
2) Atlus CEO comes on and says "We are pleased to announced we've been purchased by Microsoft".
*Persona 5 not cancelled for PS3 or PS4 (because Microsoft is such a good guy).

*Braid is announced as BC on 360, and Braid Remastered is available for download at E3 (at a cost of $4.99 for anyone who owns the 360 version) with a new 1000 gamerscore.
4) Microsoft announces the creation of a new JRPG 1st-party dev based in Osaka, called Microsoft Osaka Studios.

*They also show a Yooka-Laylee trailer (and at the end of the trailer it says coming out October 2017 on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch) because Microsoft is such a good guy and won't obfuscate the details of any third-party partnerships.
*After the Yooka-Laylee trailer, we hear a banjo tune and the familiar banjo guffaw. Then a Banjo Kazooie 3 trailer shows. Co-developed by Playtonic and Rare
8) Sam Lake from Remedy comes on stage with Phil Spencer. Microsoft announces they've purchased Remedy.
*Quantum Break story expansion DLC is announced. You play exclusively as Beth Wilder.
*$30. Can be purchased standalone. Has its own 1000 gamerscore. Can be launched within Quantum Break.

15) Insomniac comes on stage with Phil Spencer to announce Sunset Overdrive 2

17) The head of Xbox Japan comes on stage and reveals that Microsoft has created a new fund to finance ports of Japanese games to Xbox One
*They show a trailer that shows various big games like Kingdom Hearts remasters, Final Fantasy VII, Shenmue 3, Guilty Gear, and Tales of Xillia coming soon to Xbox One.
*The trailer very conspicuously omits games like Senran Kagura and Galgun because I really don't like those games and I don't want them included in this fantasy.
18) Finally, Shannon Loftis comes on stage to show off Crackdown 3, Minecraft and State of Decay 2
*She announces Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 are both very close to completion and are coming out Holiday 2017

19) Then, Phil Spencer says, "and one more thing". The auditorium goes dark. You hear a chainsaw and you see The Coalition's logo, and it says "The Coalition and Microsoft Studios present Shangheist". 2-minute trailer. The NY Times and Washington Post says "They did it!!! The sons of bitches actually did it!!!" on their front pages.
The list of first-party devs/games would then be:

Edit - fucking lol at above. This is a raving fanboy's delirious wet dream!
If you guys have literally nothing to add why even bother responding?
If you guys have literally nothing to add why even bother responding?
Ohh well like I edited in there's also Frankie's comments too
I think even at 6Tflops $399 would be big, most people are expecting $450-499+. Plus by leaving the price out of the official reveal it makes people think it'll be expensive and they want to avoid the sticker shock, then boom at the end $399.
Other than that, I think its a very interesting list of expectations. 343 + Rare for Perfect Dark in particular.
Game and accessory compatibility. Xbox One games will obviously work on both models so the Xbox One will still be the base.
But I think that they will build up more excitement from hardcore and (a smaller number of) general gamers by not having the Xbox One name. There was already a new Xbox One model last year. Another model in 2017 with the "Xbox One" name would make more people ask/wonder why they would want it in comparison to if the model had a different name.
Branding is going to play a bigger role in whether or not the Scorpio succeeds than many people think in my opinion.
__________________________________
Exactly. Completely agree.
How could you even expect a system supposedly making 4k and console settings natively to be 399$ While same year there is a 720p machine releasing for 100$ lower. I expect 449$ at lowest(and probably only option if they are not gonna do 499$

I just want them to collab with Sega again :'(
Pull out them OG Xbox moves.
Oh yeah, Scorpio.

What?
If you're referring to XB1.. Games aren't even 720p any more. It will also be $199 this time next year. That's a $200 difference.
Talking about Nintendo's new console.
Also there are enough number of 720p games released for Bone too. One of most importants are Battlefield and Mirrors Edge,FFXV
Oh
Well Nintendo is Nintendo. They do what they do.. I don't see what Nintendo has to do with Scorpio.
XB1 and PS4 are both more powerful than Nintendo and $50 cheaper right now, so..

They could call it the Xbox 1000 or something like that. It kinda removes the 'One' branding and keeps it at the same time. But I don't see any real need, providing they choose something good that stands out from the rest. The marketing and value proposition will be most important though, not the name.
Their E3 will definitely hinge around the new hardware, and they will push it as the console to buy from now on with XB1S taking a back seat.
Crackdown and Forza 7 will be the showcase games, both available this holiday. Both in Native 4K with Forza being it's usual solid 60fps. One other big game for the holidays too, like they usually do.
Custom controllers expanded to more countries. Maybe the possibility of getting a custom Scorpio too.
Snazzy new OS and XBL features. Maybe OG Xbox games but unlikely.
VR is the Oculus 2. Also releasing this holiday and console exclusive to Scorpio yada yada. Minecraft VR and some kind of VR exclusive. Plus support from other games.
Playground Games secret IP shown to end the show. Exclusive to Xbox and Win10 coming 2018.

I agree.
Getting some Sega support and bringing back stuff like JSRF, Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, PSO and etc. would be amazing.
But what we all need is Blood Wake 2.

I don't even know anymore scale bound cancel hurt me bad
Plus I'm pretty sure Battlefield is 900p anyways. Dunno about the other 2.
I know right. Like frostbite games are 720p. And 1 FF game. Lol
VR is here to stay. Roomscale VR is by far the most impressive and engaging gaming experience I have ever had.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-hands-on-with-battlefield-1-on-console
I am not that " pretty sure" but had to check my sources.
it is 720p

Show me the games coming this year, and maybe a few coming next year. Show me the console I'll be buying this Christmas. That's all I want.
That's from July. It was upgraded since then.
This is from late October which says the XB1 version runs up to 1000P with the day 1 patch, and 900P without it. Which is the same as the PS4 version I believe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aExaGlCjQr0
UPDATE 24/10/16: We've since analysed the game with the day one patch installed, and can confirm Xbox One can potentially run at up to 1000p - higher than the 900p first reported. This around PS4's resolution in the best case.
It does dip to 720P in some cases but from the sounds of it (from DF and other outlets) it's not a common occurrence

I know there's going to be a meltdown everywhere if they do this, but after all this cancellations MS doesn't have much to show that's being made by themselves so I think they're going to moneyhat some exclusives or temporal exclusivities and they are going to show them on E3.

I agree with all of what you say other than the naming, its going to keep the Xbox One branding.
They just have to position the new console as a monster and if you want to experience the biggest games in the best way, then Scorpio is how you do that. Microsoft are usually on point when it comes to marketing so as someone who works in advertising im expecting to see big things from them.
It's going to be fun to watch it unfold and to see if they learned from the way that Sony promoted the Pro and the areas that they can improve.

Couple of quick points.
Person who said Microsoft would purchase Atlus. Atlus is owned by Sega. So Microsoft would have to purchase Sega.
Person who said VR Minecraft. This would not appeal to most of us. But this would be insanely popular.
Also I still think you see KOTOR and Fable on Scorpio at E3.
I also think Scorpios Xbox interface will be radically different than Xbone. Something like a mix between Win 10 and Outlook.com web services.

Hmmm,
I expect to see....
- a huge scorpio push/reveal with price & launch date (while also reassuring those that don't plan on upgrading).
- Crackdown 3 launching this year
- Forza 7 will be there (will be something to showcase Scorpio power)
- Some xbox live enhancements (honestly I wish they just push some statement about these things during e3 week and not at the conference it self).
- Expecting at lest 3 new ip's all with gameplay footage.
- Sea of Thieves and a classic old rare ip being revived.
- bigger emphasis/expanded XPA

Wish em luck!
I expect to see....
- a huge scorpio push/reveal with price & launch date (while also reassuring those that don't plan on upgrading).
- Crackdown 3 launching this year
- Forza 7 will be there (will be something to showcase Scorpio power)
- Some xbox live enhancements (honestly I wish they just push some statement about these things during e3 week and not at the conference it self).
- Expecting at lest 3 new ip's all with gameplay footage.

I just want a real Banjo Kazooie game. It's what I'm hoping for.

Define "megatons", please.
Right now, with the current install base landscape, they won't be able to make a "megaton deal" with some 3rd party developer without paying A LOT of money, especially after last years RoTTR deal, as they basically have to pay the developer for not publishing a game on a console with a 60mn install base by fall 2017.
Furthermore, they weren't even able to get that RDR2 marketing deal, which is actually insane, given how much that would have helped to push the new console.
So, don't get me wrong here. MS is capable of devivering one or two "megatons", like a $399 Scorpio, or a proper new IP from one of their own studios that blows everyone away. But don't bet your money on a money-hatted 3rd party deal. At least not when we are talking "megabombs".
