Xbox E3 2017 Briefing Date Confirmed With Project Scorpio Teaser

@imajinn: anyone that want the best performing games. If you play third party games then it's the way to go. Exclusives this gen have been very irrelevant. Third party games is what sells and that's what the Xbox crowd likes to play. I don't think they will miss all the Japanese junk. They can get a ps4 for that. They just want call of booty and gta. Plus it will be the best place to play the biggest game of the year.... Red Dead Redemption 2. That's a game isn't it?

@sonypony4eva: plus it will get the best 3rd party and real 4k support.

@Daelusca: calling gamers ponys is hypocritical.

@heavengirl15: it will use the checkerboard technique. I'm not saying on all games, since Microsoft said their exclusives will be native 4k,but everyone else can choose to use the power in what ever ways they feel.

@heavengirl15: You mustn't have been keeping up. A leaked MS memo to devs already suggested the checkerboarding upscaling technique.

@heavengirl15:

But that what most devs will be using for Scorpio. MS CALLS IT SPARSE RENDERING. Only some game will be 4k native.

It's doubtful that we'll be seeing many games render at native 4K, which is a shame because Microsoft seemed eager to point out that the PS4 Pro doesn't offer gamers a "true 4K" gaming experience. The obvious implication was that Project Scorpio would in fact offer a true, native 4K gaming experience. On the contrary, it looks like Project Scorpio will be using the same "checkerboard rendering" technique utilized by Sony to upscale games to 4K for a fraction of the processing bill.

Microsoft is calling its rendering technique "sparse rendering," but it's basically the exact same thing as Sony's checkerboard technique. Microsoft even reportedly points to the same game - Rainbow Six Siege - as Sony's Mark Cerny when explaining the technique to developers. The technique works extremely well, and make no mistake: this will make Project Scorpio a viable 4K (or faux-K) gaming console. It won't be leagues ahead of what Sony's done with the PS4 Pro, however.

So there you have it. It doesn't sound like we're dealing with the 4K, expectation-crushing powerhouse we were all hoping for.

@strrckshn: I'm still waiting on gran turismo 7 and god of war. I saw them both at e3 a few years back and even in the most recent ps4 Christmas commercial. I was really shocked to find out that they don't even have a release window. Well I'll enjoy them when they come out. Hopefully before ps5. I bought a ps4 to play them and have been waiting so long they even released a new Playstation in that time frame. Two ps4 consoles later still no gt7 or gow, but plenty of uncharted and remasters. :)

@strrckshn: lmfao....you want to compare E3 records between promises and delivery....really? I am assuming you are a Pony and that would wind up very, very badly for you....PS just started delivering games they announced 10+ years ago.

@strrckshn: I'm really sad about Scalebound.... like I was honestly depressed when it was cancelled.

Thankfully, we're at least receiving a remaster for Phantom Dust. Hopefully this E3 will be huge. I'd also love it if next year we don't see Crackdown 3, Sea of Thieves, Cuphead, or State of Decay 2 (this one wouldn't be so bad) during E3 2018. They really should be released by that point.

@strrckshn: LOL holy crap you scared me. It took me like 10-15 seconds for me to realize that you DID NOT say E3 2004 hahahaha...

@louixiii: "the most exciting new IP they have to offer is Sea of Thieves and that s*** looks boring." Is that redundant or nah?

@louixiii: If, for 1 moment you stopped flaming PS, you might recognize that only Ponies think PS conferences are relevant,.....do they concentrate on great sizzle reels?...absolutely..do any of those games come out in our lifetimes....ahh, no....if you are simply a fanboy, you don't care about the facts, but if you are a gamer....PS's conferences suck balls as there are many cool looking games you will likely never play.....well, you might one day when they run like crap and are not relevant.....not necessarily talking about The last Guardian....although Ponies chirped about that game for 10 years....and then 3 of you bought it when it came out....kudos.

@louixiii: Don't forget Forza.. that was their 1080p sweetheart for the longest time.

@gtxplayer: No chance this is priced at anything higher than US $400. No question that the average XB owner has more disposable income than the average PS owner, if only as most concerned with cost moved to PS this gen, but US $500 without any exclusive (to Scorpio) games at launch will see this flop....given that MS is one of the wealthiest companies on earth, with more cash in the bank than Sony has market cap, I am betting they are willing they are willing to sell this at breakeven...US $350 - $400.

@iammcgruber: You could've just ask your Boss for a day off and not call in sick.

@iammcgruber: My thoughts exactly!
