Project scorpio to be unveiled at E3

Woot! Just for my press invite for the briefing.

I love that it is on Sunday. I have a feeling it is going to go down like this:

They have set the tone and I just can't see them fucking it up.
 
It's the new GAF meme.

Thread about MS? Reply with "no games"

It's actually a mindshare mentality i see on different social platforms. its about everywhere really. people want to downplay anything xbox/ms. no real contribution other than telling others that their choice of entertainment is wrong/stupid because their personal taste in an entertainment form is different.

its sad they need attention by being a bully.

on topic ----

I'm literally excited to see 4k footage of the following;

RDR2, Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, Forza 7*, Destiny 2, Cod WWII, Battlefront 2 and many more games that are third party and first party.

I really hope they publish these trailers on youtube in 4k. i want to watch them, but i dont want to download them.
 
Does anyone know for sure if our xbox one controllers are compatible? I really don't want to give up me elite. I assume they are but I would like to be certain.
Yes. Phil has stated every Xbox One hardware accessory will work seamlessly on Scorpio.
 
Shocking.

Can't wait to see the thing in action. Pro only appealed for the VR since it didn't have a 4K drive, so this may become my new third party system.
 
Only two pages in and it seemed like the race for the best shitpost.

Crazy times for E3 indeed. Especially since it is open to the public now as well.
 
That $399 has become a "mic drop" moment means MS did a good job with their unveil/PR and using DF as the outlet.

No. I'm too pessimistic. I couldn't be sold on the rapture if people were vanishing before my eyes. I saw the DF as smart advertising and pandering to insecure gamers. Sony did the same with the Cerny article where they flew John out.

I saw it as great advertising and smart promotion. All the apologetic stuff about letting gamers down and getting devs back went in one ear out the other. Xbox is doing fine buy normal standards just not PS4 numbers. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Where they got hurt in addition to price was the power perception and that is why the Scorpio exists. Smart move because if this works they just created an even higher price point for the "premium console". I that good who knows.

I want $399.99...

To see Gaf's reaction.

Competition.

It really makes sense to lose the money up front and make it back on the mau mau.
 
MS needs to show me some amazing new games and/or significantly better VR than whats on PlayStation before I can get too excited. But I'm cautiously optimistic.
 
<SHOCKING NEWS>

I'll need to eat crow if they do indeed go for $399!

[EDIT - They'll also have to offer a 4K stream for their media briefing otherwise...what's the point?]

Since Sony is the one with the marketing for RDR2, Destiny 2, Cod WW2, and Battlefront, you might not see any promo material for them until closer to launch, not at E3

I think you might also see more first party showings for Scorpio than third party. It'll be something MS are trying to get right, and internal teams are the best thing for that...something from 343 and the Coalition among others
 
To be fair, most people seem most turned on by state of decay.

You're always going to deal with fanboys that say silly shit when you're talking games though. I wouldn't focus on it all that much.

I think most of that fanboy crap will dampen down when we actually see gameplay of those three games and see the depth of each of them. I think a fallout 4 style presentation for each would build a lot of excitement, it seems people find it hard to get excited by a very small thin unveiling and lack of information or deep gameplay that each of these games have had. It's what Sony does so much better than Ms is presenting the games, It's something Ms really has to work on. When state of decay gets unveiled in a one minute teaser with half of it being CGI and showing nothing about the gameplay, with God of war being presented so much better.
 
If MS, Sony and Nintendo all bring their A game at E3 the earth might explode. Of course it still won't beat the E3 of dreams, but it'll come as close as possible

Not quite show sure why the E3 of dreams is still hyped up. I mean where is FF7R and Shemue now? Seems like in the formers case an entire decade will pass before the entire game is released.
 
why would $399 be a mic drop moment? I thought plenty of people expect the price to be that?
There are plenty that don't. I think the majority of people I've seen are expecting $499, especially since DF said they were expecting that as well.
 
Didn't DF say one of the reasons they expected $499 was because of it having the same optical drive as the S?

It'll be $399 if they expect people to buy it.

right right. it'll just be hard not to show scorpio versions when everyone will be asking for it. what happens next? Arictle about sony strong arming developers to not show scorpio footage because they have a contract to put commercials up?

maybe im in the minority and no one wants to see what a game looks like on the worlds strongest console in holiday 2017
 
They're almost certainly going to unveil the price and if it's 499 or more it'll be interesting to see how people react.

Because people wanted these games for years and they are now in development? Sounds simple enough to me.

In addition to that, Nier A was was announced at the same E3 in a more low key fashion, but still in the same level of hype for me.
 
They better extend their show to 2 hours then. Unless they don't plan on showing many games. Which is possible, I guess.

An hour and half is fine, why 2 hours? They always dedicate time to new features and sometimes hardware, how is this any different?

All that's really left for the hardware is the form factor, price and date. The features will probably take about 10 minutes or so. Holo lens for example took up a lot of time, this would just use that time.
 
True but I detect no lies even though I have no intention of buying an XB1

It's one thing to push PC to the sidelines to promote the power angle, which is understandable, but you might as well go all out at this rate.

"Play the games best on the best hardware with the best service using the best UI with the best features backed up by best support."

I don't know. I went through that with SC2 which pulled the exact same shit and I can't imagine that in a decades times when the games are finally out people will feel differently. Talking mostly about FF7R here. There's just warning signs galore.
 
Crackdown, Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, Cuphead, Below. What we know so far.
People really need to do some research before making the easy comments again.

Don't forget; Voodoo Vince, Cities: Skyline, Tacoma, Ashen, Ghost of a Tale and Phantom Dust.

Then of course; BF2, RDR2, Project Cars 2, Ace Combat 7, CoD WW2,...


There's plenty of games for the rest of the year, no need for anyone to worry,
 
For the love of god MS, please let there be a black version. Everything in my unit is black and a white console would stick out like a sore thumb.

Not sure what SC2 is exactly...

I don't know what to tell ya. These types of deals usually don't include even putting up PC footage if they have console contracts in place, even though that is far and away the place that will show off their games the best.

Just what happens.
