Xbox Scorpio Dev Kit Shown Off Ahead Of E3 2017

@yazman666: Well from I've read in the past they always done this even with generations of the past, it's part of how they make games. Also a "Slightly more powerful then the PS4 PRO" your kidding right ? Also don't compare consoles with PC's I'm in a position that I could game on PC but I don't for many reasons and I'm sure others have the reasons to not prefer gaming on PC.

@yazman666: SDK's usually have higher specs so devs can run debugging tools alongside the game. While I never touched one of those SDK's, I think the actual game running inside the SDK is restricted to retail specs.

@yazman666: It's actually quite a bit more powerful. Adding the computing grunt of a vanilla Ps4 to a PS4 pro still doesn't equal the 6 tflps that Scorpio handles.

@yazman666: lets see. the actual developers are asking for what makes their life easier to develop games for, and of course people that code are in agreement, and people with any sense understand the logic. Its also fully explained in the video, yet you disagree....

if you actually had a mid or high end pc you would realize the forza testing done by digital foundry proved its easily a mid range pc actually it proved its at least a fairly high end pc.

i compared their testing to my tital pascal on the same settings in forza i was about 20% faster. my pc is worth $2000 easily.

@alexander_mark: It wouldn't kill Playstation tho. It would just be the first slightly successful Steam Box. The only way to truly compete with Sony is to focus on bringing more quality exclusives to Xbox. The reality is Sony continues to look more and more attractive to gamers who want exclusive games they can't get anywhere else, which also brings more devs to Sony. This is something that never stops. More games, bigger install base, more games, bigger install base...etc. Bigger install base attracts third party devs, when those devs make games for PS4, more gamers want the console.

This happened towards the end of last generation. All of a sudden gamers realized just how valuable Sony's system was. MS has some great exclusives, but the games just aren't as unique. I'm the type of gamer who will buy an Xbox just for Forza, and some would buy for Halo or another shooter, but when it comes to action/adventure, RPG, EXCLUSIVE SPIDER-MAN GAME!!!, foh. Sony will always take the crown at some point. They figured out that part of the business. Getting great and unique games from talented devs on their console is just something Sony does better than the other guys.

@alexander_mark: Lame, lame LAME.

Lucky for you Microsoft doesn't own pc, or run windows, it's just owns xbox. Neither devices run steam.

(??? ??? ? ??????? ?????)

@alexander_mark: Only chance in hell I’d consider getting 1 since you already know it’ll be hurting for good games… There might already be Steam Boxes but at least Xbox’s OS has already been proven etc

@alexander_mark: Mouse and keyboard support is coming to X1.

@alexander_mark: you know steam boxes have been on sale quite some time now

@alexander_mark: That would kill Scorpio - not PS.

@SingletreeAve: Ok well MS talked to a whole bunch of devs and they say the complete opposite.

@SingletreeAve: Erm...no...they heavily upgraded the RAM from X1 to Scorpio...they want devs to have full access to every bit they added, and the additional devkit RAM on top of that is needed to run other tools/programs while games are running. Basic devkit stuff, are you new to gaming?

@SingletreeAve: Yep

@spluxman: No...it won't. Architecture is still similar enough to X1...we will be seeing 4k native games within weeks/months...how is that 3 years? You get a game going in 4k, that is the max res of the console right there. And the CPU while upgraded is similar enough to X1 CPU, that devs know what they're dealing with.

@spluxman: why would it takes three years... this isn't a next gen console.
