Is short for Xbox One X Scorpio Edition. Cashing in one the hype around the scorpio name for a day one like edition.
 
I'm the one that started the "sarcastic thread title" train so I'm sorry about that guys.

Let's hope all of the following get released this year and have 90+ metacritic. What do you think are the chances of that?

Sea of Thieves
Crackdown 3
State of Decay 2
Cuphead
Tacoma

I'm super excited for Tacoma. Gone Home is one of the best games on Xbox One IMO - and Tacoma is that dev's next game (Fullbright Studios).
I could see Crackdown 3 potentially hitting it.

I see Sea of Thieves being a Q1 2018 title. I also thought the release schedule would be State of Decay 2 in October and Crackdown 3 in November but if Scorpio is an October launch, CD3 makes more sense to launch with it, leaving a question mark on SoD2. Maybe that's a November launch, or my original thinking is still correct and Microsoft have confidence in both games to do well regardless of launching with Scorpio.

Very early guesses but I see Crackdown 3 and State of Decay 2 doing anywhere between 80 and 89. Doubt either will be 90+.

I see Cuphead either shadow dropping at E3 or launching before June 30. That I'd guess gets at least 85.

Never heard of Tacoma so IDK.

I wonder if Forza 7 will hit over 90.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Apparently cross play between xbox and playstation will be an hot topic next week according to jez 🤔

Hmmm... I hope this is a good thing...

Destiny 2 cross-play between Xbox and Playstation? BioWare's IP would make sense as already mentioned too.

I think Crackdown 3 will and if it's free of the jank that plagued its predecessor, SoD2 as well. Sea of Thieves really depends on the content we get day one. It looks and plays really well, but we know very little of what's going to keep us playing it for hours.

I'm worried that Crackdown 3 can't be that "must have" game that a platform, especially a launch platform, really needs during the holiday season. Think Microsoft might be hiding one more game for 2017 to debut at E3?

NAh. CD3 may be great but it's going to get knocked down because reviewers are going to find its story to be stupid or not enough narrative. It'll settle in the 83-85 range

Forza 7, Ori 2 and State of decay(if it's free of hank) can get 90+

That's possible, but they got Joe Staten in to write the story, so I have hope that it will improve on the previous games thin plots.

Also, Hank was an ok dude in SoD ;)

Your probably right, but I'm not sure why a game that is basically an adult playground needs to have an amazing narrative in order to score highly. No one would dock a Mario game for its story telling.

Just give me a good reason to climb tall buildings and/or knock them down.

Halo anniversary 3?

if the destruction and gameplay is as godly as they say it should hit around 90

The destruction will be impressive, but based on an interview I saw with david jones, the all out destruction gameplay is purely in the MP. Campaign can't be fully destructible because

1 - it has to be playable offline
2 - it just wouldn't make sense for the campaign.
 
I always heard positive things about State of Decay, but I never actually tried it. I plan to definitely give the sequel a shot for Scorpio.
 
Crackdown is 83 on metacritic.
Crackdown 2 is a 70

Seems like naive wishfull thinking to suddenly expect a 90+. Especially with such a troubled dev cycle.

Crackdown 2's problem was the 8 month dev time and the scores reflect that. CD3 hasn't had a troubled dev time, at least nothing out of the ordinary. I assume you're referencing Shinobi's comment? He later cleared that up.

Troubled dev cycle doesn't mean that it's impossible. TLOU had some issues during the development too.

That being said, i don't expect a 90+ for Crackdown 3.

Goldeneye Remaster Xbox, PC and Switch cross play.

Phil and Nintendo become best buds, Sea of Thieves will be on Switch and DKC Country Trilogy, DKC Returns, DKC Tropical Freeze and Diddy Kong Racing will hit xbox. Rare and Retro will collab on DKC4, releasing on Xbox and Switch late 2018

Believe!

That's an interesting idea. How feasible would it be for an agreement to be reached between MS and Nintendo to have some of each others' franchises appear on both or more. Mine craft obviously doing it. Banjo Kazooie, Viva Piñata, Forza Horizon, etc on Switch and something like Metroid playable on Scorpio...

I like the way you think.

This would be industry breaking. Maybe Studio GOBO toys to life work with Switch as well?

Cuphead and Tacoma could do it. Loved Gone Home too

Just having another look at those teasers. The controllers they pick up don't look black to me but more a very dark grey. You can see the contrast between the dpad, shell and buttons. Something like the storm grey or deep blue XB1S which came out.
 
I honestly love Microsoft's ecosystem (or whatever you want to call it) so much more than PSN that they can easily win me over with some games. Hopefully there will be plenty of new ones not named Halo or Gears.
