Why Gamers Should Be Excited For Project Scorpio

Project Scorpio is a superhuman console, but its backwards compatibility is most exciting. Could this be a super system?

You have to pay to play 360 games? Where have you materialised that from?? As far as I am aware 360 games will work the same as they do on the Xbox one.

Razzer2570d ago (Edited 2570d ago )

Yeah. First I have heard of having to repurchase 360 games. I'm calling bullshit. Article does not back that up at all.

Kingthrash3602570d ago

If you already own them then you are cool. But if not you gotta buy them again. By own I mean still have them physically, or own them digitally. Otherwise and most often you have to buy them for a high price on xbl or go looking at a gamestop. So it's not a totally free thing. BC can be costly with old games running for 29.99 bucks at times.

@Kingthrash360

True, but the article author is saying something completely different:

"Say you have an Xbox 360 game that you really love; you've kept the original box and everything. You won't be able to just stick that in your Project Scorpio system and play away. There's a sort of small depression right there. You'll have to pay to purchase the same game that you already own. While you can look at it longingly on your shelf all you want for free, you will have to pay to actually play it on your newest consoles. There's something sad and seemingly almost money-grabbing about this."

joab7772570d ago

I'm excited because I loved my 360 and I haven't loved a thing about this gen from MS. Been waiting for a killer app that just doesn't come...for me! At least I can use it to play the best sp games. I was just so disappointed with their initial launch. Maybe this will be the beginning of something good!

RosweeSon2570d ago

Yeah I was with 360 amongst others for 9 years but 360 mainly but after PS4 it was all about that for me everything I heard and saw about Xbox when it got announced and pretty much since has been 😩Last E3 was a vast improvement... still 3rd overall but the custom controllers looked amazing (still not arrived in U.K as far as I know... the official custom ones) but they seemed to be getting some more games on. Crackdown 3 is still MIA tho and the rest cancelled I've done the selection of games I wanted to nail so until they get a handful of top games Scorpio of Xbox is done for me this generation too much going on elsewhere... gotta start my switch up properly soon. I waited it out until the gears Xbox one s but by march I'd nailed all the top exclusives and was done with it... and that's in amongst work and owning a Vita/3ds Wii u and PS4 oh and life in general ;)

Razzer2570d ago

They put a pic like that on all they articles. lol

Fist4achin2570d ago

That is a cool picture. I wonder if that diamond counted as the engagement ring?!

RosweeSon2570d ago

Gamers? Tech heads who want top resolutions yeah gamers? They don't have any games for it yet apart from current XB1 and BC 360. 4K gaming 🙌🏻🙏 27995;😉
I must admit I'm getting close to grabbing a 4K telly due to recently nailing Horizon and having a great selection of top PS4 games that warrant playing in 4K (uncharted 4, last of Us 1 and 2 soon, GTA5 again... did it on PS3 and dabbled with my PS4 copy) heavy Rain and beyond 2 souls few others all would look great with a 4K telly. Quantum break was great (for me) and Forza horizon was pretty smart gears 4 alright and halo collection amazing and I never used to be a fan but apart from Crackdown 3 hardly anything to warrant a 4K telly or newer more expensive console to play on... or watch Netflix.

SynestheticRoar2570d ago

With legs like that playing video games would be the last thing on my mind. Clickbait pic is ridiculous.

Microsoft needs to be encouraging devs to do more than just clone what they did for PS4 Pro in my opinion, given it is a more powerful machine.

IamTylerDurden12513d ago

TESO is native 4K with HDR on PS4 Pro. What more do u expect on Scorpio? If ppl really believe the Crap Gamer rhetoric that every game will be native 4K 60fps on Scorpio then they will be sorely disappointed. In fact, there will certainly be a fair share of 3rd party games with parity between Pro and Scorpio.

freshslicepizza2513d ago

"In fact, there will certainly be a fair share of 3rd party games with parity between Pro and Scorpio."

That's called laziness if it happens. Many PS4 titles are 1080p and 900p on Xbox One so why do parity now? Please provide the proof of any claims Scorpio is supposed to be a 4k60fps console? You can't just tell developers to all of the sudden make 60fps games.

Goldby2513d ago

@Moldy

tyler is talkign about the fanboys thinking every game is going to be 4k 60fps on scorpio because... scoprio.

Laziness or proper budgeting? There wont nearly be as many ps4 pros or scorpios out there compared to the ps4 and xbox 1s so why would they go about making a patch for one and a separate patch for another one (that isn't even out yet)

at the end of the day, developers need to see some sort of return on their investment, and with ESO patch for pro making it 4k and HDR compatible, why is it a bad thing that the Scorpio is matching those?

"tyler is talkign about the fanboys thinking every game is going to be 4k 60fps on scorpio because... scoprio"

You guys keep saying this without naming names because in reality it's Sony fans trying to project unrealistic expectations so that they can say it didn't meet this imaginary threshold.

This difference in resolution started at the beginning of this generation, when there were zero sold yet. There was no parity at the beginning but you guys seem to hope it starts now, not surprisingly.

Goldby2513d ago

@Moldy

i'm not gonna go look through thousands of pages to see the 4k 60fps comments. i have more important things to do that waste my time debunking your ps4 fanboy comment.

There are people on the xbox forums (deamonisfear ebing one of them ) that has on regular basis said 4k60fps for scoprio.

and again, you didnt answer my question.
at the end of the day, developers need to see some sort of return on their investment, and with ESO patch for pro making it 4k and HDR compatible, why is it a bad thing that the Scorpio is matching those?

is it such a bad thing for tyhe developers to take a patch they already have, and make it work for the Xbox Scorpio, instead of investing a lot of extra time makign a specific patch for a console that will be a fraction of the actual xbox fanbase?

IamTylerDurden12512d ago

The crap gamer crew goes around telling ppl that every game will be 4k 60 on Scorpio. I've seen it.

U don't remember Ubisoft and thier push for parity earlier this gen? It was absolutely a thing.

This is totally different than the PS4 and xb1 having parity anyway. These are extra consoles with a VERY limited install base. Don't u understand that? The likelihood of parity between Pro and Scorpio is far greater than the likelihood of parity between PS4 and xb1 bc the install base is so comparatively low on Pro and Scorpio it wouldn't necessarily be worth it financially to make 2 distinct premium console versions. Do u get that?

Goldby2510d ago

"You guys keep saying this without naming names because in reality it's Sony fans trying to project unrealistic expectations so that they can say it didn't meet this imaginary threshold."

how about you name off the sony fans who are projecting this unrealistic expectation.

don't worry moldy, i'll wait

"Well, can I approach it from a different angle then and ask you, what do you think consoles of the future like Project Scorpio need to do to make the most of the MMO genre?

I would definitely say power is key. Memory is key. Especially in a game like The Elder Scrolls Online. There are hundreds of characters running around on the screen at any one time. We can have a 300 person battle in our game and that eats up memory. That eats up computing power and it eats up VRAM. So, the more they can pack into those newer consoles, the better."

IamTylerDurden12513d ago

I'm not surprised, TESO is native 4K on Pro. Ppl love to scoff at the non native 4K games on Pro and ignore the actual games that achieve it.

soulsx2513d ago

Scorpio is not much powerfull than ps4pro diferences in quality of games be only on resolution. But ps4 pro give us too high res in games. Normal player don't see a differences.

BigWan782513d ago (Edited 2513d ago )

@soulsx

but there's a difference between resolution and graphics...

4k resolution is 4k no matter how u slice the pie.. but when you talk textures/graphics, that can make it night and day difference even to the non-gamer...

i still think HDR is the true hotness though...
