If the scorpio launches at anything over $399, it's practically dead on arrival. The PS4 Pro will be cheaper next year and that will widen the price gap even further and the average consumer will not care about technical specs or terraflops and that kind of mumbo jumbo. They'll see both boxes do 4k and buy the cheaper one (despite the fact that the PS4 pro doesn't have UHD 4K Bluray support and the scorpio almost certainly will)

Yeah unless they juiced up the spec's from what we were intially told, best I would anticipate it doing is 4k/30fps in some but not all games (assuming they attempt to match PC visual quality settings like texture resolution AF, and things like that)

Best case secenario (and what I would rather have from the neo/scorpio) is native 1440p/60fps target internal rendering and downsampling to 1080p for a cleaner IQ than what you'd get from just a native 1080p internal re...

first paid mods on the steam workshop and now this... gotta hand it to them. They've got balls trying this stuff out.

That said, there's how many tens of millions of xbone/ps4 players who would probably love to play a better looking skyrim at a better frame rate with the potential for a flood of mods similar to what they did with FO4.

They're not crazy in knowing people want it but asking $60 is ... ambitious.

I'm a long time pc gamer (i7, 980ti, 950 pro, custom water cooling, etc) and the scorpio is going to be an outstanding product, not because of it's power but because of it's power for price.

The Scorpio will most likely cost about the same price as JUST a 1080 next year when it's released. Yeah there will be the Ti and whatever the next generation nvidia card will be out and most likely the Ti version of that but the fact remains is that the scorpio will br...

"and all PC cases are ugly anyway."

Oh my Phanteks Evolv ATX begs to differ, sir.

The author seems like someone who didn't do any homework or reading up on what is what before embarking on that build. If you've never done anything like it before and you go in blind, of course you will have some problems.

It was still a really fun game but when I realized there was a warp right away from the bonfire, it told me everything I needed to know about the world design. The game was incredibly linear and just a couple of branching paths (That both dead ended) was pretty lame.

Should have been a way to go from the cathedral to Ithryll and demon ruins/Smouldering lake should have taken you up to Ithryll dungeon or maybe down where you get the FAP ring.

It was more ...

Wolfenstein games distorts WW2 and those games seemed to turn out pretty damn well didn't they?

Most likely a 1070 competitor. AMD has seemingly always fallen short of Nvidia's flagship.

This chip could very well be what will be going into the Scorpio though.

They can't. The Skywind team is literally building the game from the ground up. Every model, every square inch of the land, every rock, tree, recorded dialgue, etc. Everything is being done from scratch. It's essentially a total conversion mod.

Bethesda can't legally do anything but pat the guys on the back, tell them good job and probably offer some of them jobs.

Article title should include *On Consoles* PC's are not having any issues getting a smooth 1080/60 even with modest hardware.

FROM don't do difficulty in the traditional methods. You can set the difficulty yourself through stat point allocation, weapon choice/upgrades, etc.

If you want easy mode, dump lots of stat points into health and strength and carry capacity so you can use a big weapon that hits hard and strong armor.

Beating a souls game is a privilege you earn by getting good. Casuals that whine about it being too hard simply do not understand the mechanics of how the ...

Took the words out of my mouth. Doom never was a scary game. Just mindless fun/shooting/blowing up things

I don't care for or need a rich story, compelling characters or anything like that. I want to just kick back and have FUN wasting everything on the screen.

It's only as expensive as you want it to be. There have been countless parts lists and build guides at this point showing how to build a budget gaming PC that can run most games smoothly at 1080p/60fps for about the same price as one of the new consoles + the cost of a year of xblive or ps+.

The best part is that you can always add more later down the road be it a faster video card, bigger harddrive, higher resolution monitor, etc.

PC will be the only platform getting multiplayer and if you ever got a chance to experience JC2 multiplayer, you realize why the PC guys are foaming at the mouth for JC3.

Show me another massive open world RPG with as many complex NPC/quest/dialogue scripts simultaneously that DOESN'T have issues... It's the nature of the beast.

Your best bet is to grab it on PC so you can get around broken quests and scripts with console commands and of course, the community patches that fix tons of little issues that Bethesda never addressed with any of the official Skyrim patches.

Oblivion was awful compared to skyrim and the ever so superior Morrowind.

Thankfully, there is a dedicated team of modders rebuilding Morrowind from the ground up using the Skryim engine :D

At best you would get the PC version's "high res" texture pack and better draw distance and that'd be it. ...and I use high res rather sarcastically because they were a blurry joke compared to the 4K parallaxed textures that the modders cranked out.

Likely will not happen until they have it running on PS4 as well (which now that they have fallout on PA4 shouldn't be difficult since it's built off skyrim's engine)
