Support NeoGAF

[Resident_UA]

Crap... This is too similar to PS4 pro. I kind of want it for UHD Blu Ray and new dashboard, but it's going to be hard to justify...

EDIT: I have PS4 pro already. Multip[latforms will not look that much better on this thing.

 

[Marmelade]

4GB for the OS?
That's a lot

Still sounds fine to me specs/hardware wise if it's $399

 

[SocksAndShoes]

That can't be good.

$599 American dollars.

 

[Widge]

Same old questions apply though. No bump in technology can offset their pretty awful regard for software that has been in effect since halfway through the 360 gen.

Will Microsoft secure exclusive game content outside of the launch window?
Will Microsoft be making more games than their core of Gears/Forza/Halo?

 

[HeisenbergWW62]

Very impressive specs

 

[Frozenprince]

About the price...

And y'all thought this was anything other than a niche add-on.

 

[Theorry]

So Polaris GPU?

 

[danowat]

Only 66% GPU usage running Forza 6 at 60fps!

Yes, but you've got to remember that this is using the specfic DX12 on chip hardware, how will non DX12 titles perform?

 

[LordOcidax]

Turn 10 ported over Forza 6 in just 2 days.

lol

 

[wonderful103]

Forza engine ported to Scorpio in two days? Holy shit!

It's a superset of the existing console Dev environment w/dx12. The "porting" work is making the necessary changes to support the TRC and the additional features

 

[Primethius]

Impressive specs. Seems largely like a mid-gen refresh like Pro but a year later. That's not surprising though.

 

[GRaider81]

At work so can't read all the articles but what are the equivalent PC specs?

 

[TyrantII]

Forced 16x AF and v-sync is amazing.

Maybe. If there's more than a marginal cost I'd rather let developers choose how to implement that kinda stuff

Sure, some will mess up and not pay attention, but others might need the computational power in certain places and dial things appropriately.

 

[aussiedude08]

the video is 15 mins and hasnt even been up for 15 mins, already 150 dislikes.

Fucking console fanboys.

And i say that as someone who sold his Xbox and have a PS4 Pro.

 

[shandy706]

Only 66% GPU usage running Forza 6 at 60fps!

Quoting myself,


That was also with 23 cars..dang son

 

[Drencrom]

Jaguar, huh? As expected.

So we know the price too. Jaguar=$399

They're already said in the article it will be more expansive than PS4 Pro

 

[vivekTO]

 

[VE3TRO]

Microsoft want to get 900p XB1 titles to 4K.

Quoting myself,


That was also with 23 cars..dang son

And in the wet.

 

[RoKKeR]

Talk about a reveal, holy fuck!

 

[ironcreed]

Crap... This is too similar to PS4 pro. I kind of want it for UHD Blu Ray and new dashboard, but it's going to be hard to justify...

It dwarfs the Pro.

 

[Carn82]

4GB for the OS?
That's a lot

Hey, it has to run Windows

 

[MontyBrown]

So not too far ahead of the PS4P.

I'll continue to wait for PS5 and the next Xbox.

 

[longdi]

How do they get the 328gbs bandwidth?

DF always suspected Scorpio to be a console that blurs the line between generation, did MS get back to you guys about this conjecture?

 

[Herb Alpert]

No fun allowed. Console specs serious buisness.

It has stopped being fun years ago. You should have noticed that.

Console specs are not serious business at all.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Looks like what I was expecting, although a 7200RPM HDD is a small but very nice upgrade from my low expectations in that area.

The price is still what'll decide things, though.

 

[bigJP]

i like this:

So even with a regular 1080p TV, you'll be able to choose between performance modes that make the game run better, or resolution modes that will then "supersample" the 4K image down to your 1080p display, which should give you superb image quality - basically, a fantastically smooth and pretty picture. It's like having the ultimate anti-aliasing solution.

 

[LostDonkey]

Hey. I got flipped off at 13:04 into the video.

 

[FataIChoice]

4GB for the OS is a lot, but I am very impressed. If MS deliver on games at E3 I could see myself jumping on Xbox again.

 

[guybrushfreeman]

Microsoft want to get 900p XB1 titles to 4K.

Still reliant on patches getting made though

 

[Theorry]

So not too far ahead of the PS4P.

I'll continue to wait for PS5 and the next Xbox.

Uh its pretty big step.

 

[Ricker]

Atmos confirmed...

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Not sure if I agree, especially looking at the bandwidth difference.

Even if it's like a Kaio Ken x4 to the Pro's
Kaio Ken x2 do we really expect a lot of games to fully take advantage of it, especially when they don't even fully take advantage of the Pro as it is? Especially with the massive gap in install base between the PS4 and Xbox.

 

[JaffeLion]

yeah, at launch. I think they will continue to optimize and free up some RAM.

 

[Loris146]

About the price...

449/499 unless they are expecting a price cut for PS4 Pro.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I like how all Scorpio games will downsample to 1080p

 

[Daffy Duck]

This will cost £500+.

 

[brokenbeans]

^ Duck, my thoughts before the reveal was £500 and after I agree I think it's gonna be slightly more ^

Crap... This is too similar to PS4 pro. I kind of want it for UHD Blu Ray and new dashboard, but it's going to be hard to justify...

Have you even watched the video?

 

[black070]

Great that they delivered on exactly what they set out to do. Hopefully we can finally put the deluded 'it's next gen' claims to rest.

 

[daveo42]

Nice to see they did decide to kill ESRAM finally.

 

[Resident_UA]

It dwarfs the Pro.

Have you even watched the video?

It's significantly more powerful than a PS4 pro.

If I didn't have pro it could be justifiable purchase, but the multiplatform games will not look that much better on this thing...

 

[JaggedSac]

Vapor chamber cooling.

 

[Kilau]

Well I'm officially super excited for a MS e3, haven't really cared for awhile.

 

[noise36]

3 extra GB of ram for games is huge surely?

 

[Starfield]

You know they gonna sell it for a price noone will agree with.

 

[Pooya]

liquid cooling? seriously? well, yeah this will be very expensive. I don't who this is for...

 

[see5harp]

Upgrade jaguar. Lol. What a bunch of bullshit.

 

[Spacecowboy77]

I would be very surprised to see this sales for under 500$

 

[Anung]

It has stopped being fun years ago. You should have noticed that.

Console specs are not serious business at all.

It's almost as if humour is subjective. I must have not got the memo from the gaf humour gods on what is/isn't funny. Sorry!

 

[GarthVaderUK]

4K 60fps Forza using 66% of the GPU, that's crazy!

 

[adamsapple]

God damn, Rich's comments about them over delivering on the hardware are mouth watering.

Spoiler

I'm sticking to my Pro because of the games coming to it for the foreseeable future though.
