Support NeoGAF

[LucidMomentum]

he's really acting like every game is gonna run at 4K huh

Not at 4K, in 4K

Gonna be a whole lotta upscaling.

 

[Myggen]

It's an improvement in how small it is and that it supports 4K, that's it.

Yep.

 

[Curufinwe]

he's really acting like every game is gonna run at 4K huh

I'd much rather see 1440p with better effects and frame rate.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I dunno, I think what he's saying makes sense and he's delivering that fine. It's a confusing situation, he's not making it so.

 

[razgriz417]

I'd much rather see 1440p with better effects and frame rate.

This, framerate over resolution any day

 

[cb1115]

I'd much rather see 1440p with better effects and frame rate.

what he just said about leaving it up to devs gives me some hope there

 

[Armadilo]

So Scorpio is going after 4K games but not the framerate ? So 4K at 30 FPS , getting 4K seems like the priority

 

[Zaph]

He had plenty of time to think this over and say it in a simpler way, yet he is still making a mess of a pretty simple message.

Yup, this all sounds like the decision to go public came down to the wire. If the head of xbox struggles this much to clarify it all, it must be really early days.

 

[ratcliffja]

Zelda is good guys. Really good.

Edit: That FFXV demo was hot garbage though. It felt like it was trying to be a Platinum game that took itself seriously but played closer to a Musou game. I didn't even know there was magic until the last attack of the game.

 

[willbsn13]

I'd much rather see 1440p with better effects and frame rate.

Yeah agreed. He did say the developers have the creative freedom. No mandated 4k, so thats cool.

 

[jayu26]

Why even try to bring 4K TV into this? I mean Sony electronics is going, "whatever dog, we will sell these 4K TVs you want." How about a simple message of, "Hey, we have most powerful console at an excellent price."

 

[Myggen]

what he just said about leaving it up to devs gives me some hope there

Agreed.

 

[Death Metalist]

Hmm, I'm hoping we do get scorpio exclusives later on though. It would be disappointing if we didn't but at the same time, I'm sure they don't want to leave anyone behind.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Yep.

And the fact it has an internal PSU. I think the last time an XBOX had an internal PSU was the original XBOX. I believe every 360 and the current XB1 had external power bricks.

 

[LukeSkywater]

Yes Phil, you should be able to play your games on whatever system can run them....like my 360 jrpg's that aren't bc

 

[def sim]

okie doke

so it's up to developers what to do with the overhead, just like with every console before it. games that run natively at 4K will be downsampled.

 

[icespide]

really seems like the whole deal with these new consoles will be run the same games at 4K and not make games look a lot better

 

[gamz]

Why even try to bring 4K TV into this? I mean Sony electronics is going, "whatever dog, we will sell these 4K TVs you want." How about a simple message of, "Hey, we have most powerful console at an excellent price."

Because it's designed for 4K.

 

[phantomspiker]

This focus on 4k is so weird to me.

 

[Megasoum]

I'd much rather see 1440p with better effects and frame rate.

You can buy 1440p TVs now?

 

[BRocknRolla]

Wait... He said every game will run on all the systems? Is that right?

 

[Curufinwe]

I hope Jeff asks him if VR games will run on Xbones

They keep saying no exclusives for Scorpio but does that include VR?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Hmm, I'm hoping we do get scorpio exclusives later on though. It would be disappointing if we didn't but at the same time, I'm sure they don't want to leave anyone behind.

So you're saying you don't a console to hold games back? Welcome to PC gaming!

 

[VRMN]

I have no idea why Phil wants someone to buy an Xbox

Microsoft does not give a shit if you own an Xbox One if you're willing to play the games on Xbox Live via Windows 10. Software and services, hardware agnostic as much as they can be. That is Microsoft's core philosophy since Nadella took over; this is just how it applies to Xbox.

Scorpio, Xbox One S, and the current unit are entirely meant to be options for people who don't have or want gaming-ready PCs, or want a console option on their TV. If this means you go PS4 for Sony exclusives and a PC for Xbox exclusives and multiplatform, Microsoft is entirely happy to have you as a customer on Windows 10. They lose money on the console; they make it on the games, memberships, and accessories. If you're buying those latter three and not buying the loss leader...I think they're okay with you.

 

[Wingfan19]

Wait... He said every game will run on all the systems? Is that right?

Correct.

 

[GodParticle]

Hmm...not really selling me on scorpio if it's mostly to support 4k. But it's way early, so I'm sure it will get clearer next year

 

[Death Metalist]

Now we gotta get the question on how much we can tamper with mods and such on Windows Store games compared to Steam.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

It's really weird that they are pushing 4K so much. It's like they are using it as a buzz word to describe the power difference. I would assume most devs are going to aim for 1080p 60fps?

Like are games going to have straight up better textures and visual effects? Because that's something that Microsoft has to allow them to do.

 

[W1SSY]

Wait... He said every game will run on all the systems? Is that right?

He did say that which I think is a different message that had already been stated.

 

[jett]

I find Microsoft's focus on 4K frankly idiotic. 6TF is only going to get you 30fps at 4K with current graphics. Maybe.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

He had plenty of time to think this over and say it in a simpler way, yet he is still making a mess of a pretty simple message.

The messaging he has to pitch does have some conflicts within them.

Now we gotta get the question on how much we can tamper with mods and such on Windows Store games compared to Steam.

That would make the Kudo Look gif seem very tame.

 

[razgriz417]

Wait... He said every game will run on all the systems? Is that right?

Yeah, at least for now. It would make sense a few years down the line when the Scorpio successor is out, they'll probably drop Xbox one, kinda like how apple drops older iPhones.

All conjecture but would make sense like 5 years down the line or something

 

[Death Metalist]

So you're saying you don't a console to hold games back? Welcome to PC gaming!

I do have a gaming PC though ;p but I am more into my consoles because of friends and all.

 

[blakep267]

I hope Jeff asks him if VR games will run on Xbones

They keep saying no exclusives for Scorpio but does that include VR?

actually he said no first party games will be exclusive. So you'll get your halo 6 on all Xboxes but an oculus store game not published by MS can be Scorpio exclusive

 

[Curufinwe]

You can buy 1440p TVs now?

1440p Upscaled to 4K by the console for output on a 4K TV or monitor.

 

[JABEE]

Correct.

Do VR games work on Xbox One?

 

[gamz]

It's really weird that they are pushing 4K so much. It's like they are using it as a buzz word to describe the power difference. I would assume most devs are going to aim for 1080p 60fps?

Because they are pushing boundaries. Like they always do.

 

[BUNTING1243]

I feel like they probably have to sell it as "nah this is for 4K TVs" at first so that they don't openly canabalize their already badly selling console for the next year and a half.

Maybe?

 

[BRocknRolla]

Correct.

He did say that which I think is a different message that had already been stated.

That's what I thought. I could have sworn they had previously said, "It's up to the devs," before.

Yeah, at least for now. It would make sense a few years down the line when the Scorpio successor is out, they'll probably drop Xbox one, kinda like how apple drops older iPhones.

All conjecture but would make sense like 5 years down the line or something

In time that makes sense to me. But in the short term, this sounds like a mandate to appease original Xbox One customers. I just feel like it's not what was said earlier.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I find Microsoft's focus on 4K frankly idiotic. 6TF is only going to get you 30fps at 4K with current graphics. Maybe.

It sounds like that's what they want. HEaring them boast about how much more powerful Serpico was than the Xbox One, I imagined it was basically going to be the Xbox Two, but it sounds more like all that power is simply to get existing games to run in 4K, which makes me wonder how much of a difference that will make to the average consumer?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Hey I liked that Shadowrun fps

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Shadowrun was god damn good as a shooter Spencer.

 

[HotHamWater]

Fuckin' Mattrick.

 

[SmackAttack]

Yes Phil, you should be able to play your games on whatever system can run them....like my 360 jrpg's that aren't bc

I bought Eternal Sonata during the sale some weeks back. Waiting for that to go BC so I can play it on a system that doesn't sound like a jet engine. Love my 360 tho.

On topic, if I play Gear 4 on my One with a friend playing on PC, how does chat work? Likely noob question, I know.

Chat works, voice.

Lack of dedicated servers killed the game. Such a shame.

 

[Deadstar]

REALLY like what I'm hearing from Phil. Sounds like he's finally able to shift xbox in the direction he thinks it should go.

Go to the website and you can scrub back.
