MS do not need to present any new game or exclusives. This is all they need to do.
"Scorpio, the first console ever to run Darksouls 3, Fallout 3, and ESO at 1080p PC style ultra graphics at 60 FPS." That announcement alone will rock the console industry.
I have both a gaming PC and a console...so what is the point of the question again? Is there something about having a great gaming PC that would eliminate the need for a console or a console replacing a PC? People who think so not real gamers.
If they mention 1080p 60 FPS then it'll be the first Xbox I ever own. I'm loving my PS4 Pro right now, great exclusives, great graphics for a console but 30 FPS is garbage regardless of the content. It just drag the entire experience down.
However if this another 30 FPS console, well, enjoy getting your ass kicked by Sony for a few more years.
Can't stand Destiny because I refuse to play this sort of games in 30 FPS. But now that its available on PC, well, bring it on.
Please don't be another 30 FPS console!
Spoiler: This game sucks.
Its not a given because the PS4 Pro upscaling is so good that some people might not be able to appreciate the difference with native 4K. So if the difference is not obvious and the both games run at 30 FPS, well...MS have some explaining to do. Remember that TVs are not computer monitors. Sitting back from 5-8 feet a console gamer will not be able to clearly decern the resolution difference a PC gamer can sitting 2-3 feet away from his monitor.
This is why MS must deliver a...
All I know is this. I better outperform the PS Pro in 3rd party titles or else it's curtains.
If Scorpio 3rd party titles isn't superior to PS Pro titles then MS have failed in all regards. MS doesn't need a catch up console right now, they need a homerun.
1080p @ 60 FPS or GTFO.
MS need the Scorpio to go head to head with Sony. When this thing release, it will be the only advantage team Xbox can field. "The most powerful console ever" is their tag line. They'll need games specifically designed to flex the power of this console. If MS is gonna let legacy hardware hold them back like Sony did with the Pro then it's curtains.
Playing on PC, I have none of these issues. Except for the dead eye. The dead eye is unforgivable.
Considering MS situation right now, Scorpio need to be fast tracked ASAP. The Xbox platform is simply getting murdered out there by the PS4 Pro.
Scalebound look like over the top crap with dragons to please Westerns. I think the truth is that Microsoft saw that Nier would totally crush this abomination so they pulled the plug.
This game biggest flaw is the politics of the developers. Other than that, I'm having a huge blast. On the PC the game is a poster child for what PC HDR is capable of when it is not being held back limited hardware. HDR lighting effects are everywhere and they all look amazing, they're so pervasive that I don't even want to play on my 32" ultrawide because without HDR the game is so bland.
You must not have HDR or your LG's HDR sucks. The resolution don't matter much because it's fake 4K but the HDR should immediately pop out at you if you set it up right. In general, I found that most console gamers are completely ignorant about tech so this doesn't surprise me one bit. For example, my neighbor invited me to show off new Pro which he boasted about how awesome the graphics and HDR looks. When I got there I found that he wasn't playing with game mode on and ...
My face is already tired of this. Bring on the game.
The vast majority of so called AAA games are garbage. Plus because of mod support or a very large online community PC gamers tend to play one single game for years so they couldn't care less about the AAAs.
Ubisoft are careless at handling their online fanbase. Either they don't have basic anti-hacks on PC or they lack good servers on both platforms. They're also shit producing high quality DLCs which is a must for sustaining player interest.
The focus on 4K is where MS went wrong. Yeah 4K is important, but you can't sell 4K to the masses. A huge population of console gamers are playing on totally shit TVs that are either of the budget variety or are a decade old. To these gamers, better textures and frames per second are upgrades that they can perceive.
