$499 with that fancy controller
$399 base model

book it

That was my call as well since this year.

 

[Death Metalist]

I mean, it was also Old Dan, so he could easily be more into it now.

.

 

[def sim]

It's going to be $499 with RGB lighting.

 

[Hjod]

499$, they have to charge for that FPS-counter.

 

[ArjanN]

He lost all credibility in my books after the fake Joakim Mogren/Moby Dick interview stuff. I'd 100% believe him to hype up the price of Scorpio at $499 for it to be a suprise at $399

lol

You mean that totally inoffensive funny bit that negatively impacted zero people?

I forgot how E3 always brings out the crazy in people.

 

[Mister Negative]

hopefully, the power of scropio will allow MS to finally announce when the fuck Below is coming out

 

[kiguel182]

If you want me to give 500 dollars for a console I'll just buy a PC by that point since I can do actual work on a PC. Consoles should be cheap.

I mean, he talked about this in the conversation that led to him talking about The Godfather, so... yeah?

Spoiler

I actually haven't seen The Godfather but I haven't seen many movies. And also didn't study them.

Dude lied about a product. Me not wanting to believe everything he says about video games after that is crazy?

Clearly you are right about that last part.

I wonder how many hours people wasted making articles, videos and posts about this.

 

[Joeku]

Okay, with that Origin Access trial I have played a few hours of and have come to a conclusion on the following games:

Need for Speed: Kind of lame and boring
Mirror's Edge Catalyst: Kind of lame and boring
Star Wars Battlefront: Kind of lame a boring

Let's see if Unravel does me dirty too.

 

[kiguel182]

Not that I have any interest in buying a Scorpio either way. "Better graphics" doesn't really sell it for me.

I really don't understand people saying his credibility is on the line with the Scorpio price. He heard them say $499 in the rehearsal and then he tweeted about it. Doing a fun bit with Kojima for a game announcement doesn't mean that he is in cahoots with Microsoft. There is some weird conspiracy theory bullshit going on in this thread.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Man, don't be mean to Geoff. Hoooowever if he's shilling he can get fucked. But I don't think Geoff would do that.

True but if it comes down to it then...

I can't believe some of the shit developers are pulling off with the current systems. Horizon: Zero Dawn is a fucking wonder on the OG PS4.

Of course it doesn't mean that he's in cahoots with them but not all people are willing to take his word as gospel.

Understandably so.

 

[Hjod]

He probably just heard it during the rehersal and went with it.

What are you saying, then? That he's lying?

Unravel is super!

Unravel is incredibly boring

2h 40 minutes

It... well, for me, it fit that same theme, but its heart is in the right place.

We'll see.

Also i've taken a liking to the Xbox One X name so i'm cool if its actually called that

[DanLongman]

Whoa people are getting so invested in this price thing. In a 3 hours we'll all know. Geoff isn't lying or in cahoots if it's not 499 it's not going to hurt him out good credibility. He heard 499 at rehearsal that's it. Chill

Also strax you're crazy ♦️♦️

Dear god.

dude it was just... a hoax. this is maybe the wildest overreaction i've ever seen on gaf and that's saying something.

 

[border]

Has anyone from Giant Bomb discussed the new Bubsy game that's coming out?

I would love to hear Jeff's take.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dear god.

Jeff needs to buy both of those.

 

[Liquid Shake]

Guys, I figured it out. Scorpio is just Kojima disguised in bandages. Keighley knew all along!

 

[Heroman]

Dear god.

Is this what hell looks like?

 

[Protome]

He did one on his youtube channel last week.

I'm not sure what the criteria is for putting it on his channel or the website

Pages old at this point, but that one he did last week was...different...Probably not up on the site because the content is much weirder and less gameplay focussed.

Hahah, touché.

I mean sure, that interview is bad, and now I don't know haha.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Had a busy day yesterday so I just now caught up with GB's EA coverage. Looking forward to the next couple of days!

Also, is Aisha not hosting Ubi this year? Thought I read that somewhere.

You should see the main thread on it. People calling for legal action, lol.

$500 is steep and I'd probably pay it since I don't spend money on PC gaming anymore, but it's obviously a tough sell to the mass market.

Unfortunately, she is not. I think they said that the developers would just host their own segments.

It is a bummer for sure, she was the best part of those conferences.

[DanLongman]

What is this about legal action??

Man I'm super excited for NFS payback

 

[Ulumsk]

She's not hosting.

Yeah, she's consistently been strong at hosting despite some awkward segments. That's a bummer.

 

[broncobuster]

I know Scorpio is supposed to be THE thing for Microsoft, but I care way more about what games they invested in (so that I can play them on PC). They gotta have some good stuff to prop up Scorpio. Nuts and Bolts 2, baby!

Is this a rumoured thing, or just wishful thinking?

I thought yesterday was great. Looking forward to today's conferences and REALLY looking forward to the interviews.

Ok, E3 has started for real now.

Enter Aaron "Mr Caffeine" Priceman.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Mr. Caffeine was 6 fucking years ago?
