Xbox Scorpio Dev Kit Shown Off Ahead Of E3 2017

@yukushi: It would run at at least $1000, and games would look exactly the same as on a standard Scorpio. But yeah, if I had unlimited funds .... why not?

@yukushi: What would you do with it?

@sellingthings: They won't

@Legend_of_Link: You don't buy 3rd party games? They'll all be best on Scorpio, in terms of consoles.

How could you lose interest in Cuphead? MS has made significant investment and it's become a much bigger game than originally planned.

You said in another comment you've spent thousands on MS products...well if a bunch of that was in Xbox software, if you abandon them you won't see your library upgraded like Scorpio will do to it.

@Legend_of_Link: What your going through is pretty understandable and your not the only one thinking the samething.

Microsoft is in a weird place right now sure they have won back some of their previous clients with their backward compatibility and the whole play x1 games on pc jazz honestly does microsoft have any studios they are closely partnered with to make exclusives for them? Besides lionhead studios which is closed down now and bungie who are independent and well owned by activision imo. There is the coalition and 343 thats it unless Microsoft quits short changing projects like the phantom dust remake i dont see the situation becoming any better anytime soon.

@Legend_of_Link: Time to broaden your horizons, single player focused adventures may well be amazing but you are selling yourself short, there is a plethora of games available covering many a genre that are all amazing in their own ways. I have been gaming since the 70's and to just focus on one area to me as a gamer seems absurd. Dont dis a machine or a company just because the way they are going isnt the flavour of your month, the gaming world is dynamic forever changing they dont all get it right all of the time hiccups and missteps happen but they all keep on going forward and we all keep going with them, games as a whole are getting better and better all the time.

@Legend_of_Link: you dont like prettier graphics! Exclusives is dead on xbox.

@khanwashere: What consumer level 4k TVs were starting to become affordable in 2013?

I didn't even hear about 4k till 2015 when I was looking to buy a new TV.

And I paid thousands for the large set I got. Similar TVs now, 2 years later, I see selling for like half of what I paid. And with the delay in 4k blu rays not starting to come out till early 2016, and proper 4k capable consoles in Pro and Scorpio just now coming to market, I actually regret my early adoption of 4k and feel I could've just waited and gotten an even better TV for less money. Also your forgetting that the first few waves of 4k TVs lacked the HDR specs that are becoming the standard now, and HDR/wide color gamut is one of the most important features of new TVs.

MS would've been way premature thinking about creating a 4k gaming console to release in 2013. What PC graphics cards even supported 4k back then? I feel just since mid-last year, 4k is really starting to catch on, take over physical store stock, and has become affordable for most. I think Scorpio is coming at the right time.

@Popa2caps: hdr on pc is broke dead not working a mess.....for many people.

@Popa2caps: Keep buying their games and they won't.

It's all about the money trail.

@Pyrosa: Don't forget the "jumping dolphins".

@playstationzone: Honestly, just type what your trying to say into Google translate and then copy/paste. We'll understand you much better, and your English will probably improve.

@playstationzone: Scorpio will do well .. its the latest and greatest and people have to have it !!

@playstationzone: good thing Xbox has a lot of exclusives

@playstationzone: I doubt it will be as expensive as most people feared. As a long time Xbox gamer then now PS4 convert I look forward to seeing how much better the multi platform games truly are as they claim.

@alaannn: uhm everything. higher res, higher fps, ultra blue ray, faster hdd(faster load and install times), more responsive ui(faster cpu), hdr, higher audio specs, freesync, etc....but yeah digital foundry.

@alaannn: check digitalfoundry on youtube...pretty much every information is there about the scorpio...except new games

@Daveof89: its so Ubisoft can show us bullshit at e3 and still claim its on scorpio

@Daveof89: Debugging and tracking with the core specs takes away from the the developing game. If you are to track or monitor any aspect of the game you need to take away processing from the game. With the additional head room less processing is deviated from the game. Giving the developer more real world feedback of the final game without the game being fully optimized during production.

@Daveof89: For the same reason construction companies require roughly twice the area to store all the piles of masonry, wood, and materials they need to build stuff. The final product is contained to roughly half the space, but until then, they need to put that stuff SOMEWHERE.

@Daveof89: im gonna take some wild guesses....also 2 times the memory and hdd space is not 2 times the power. just more room. not faster. perhaps during development they have more software running on the dev kit to analyze performance, log issues monitor performance etc. also maybe to speed up development devs turn off compressing textures and uncompressing them and just leave them loaded?????

@Daveof89: Allows you to build above spec and then use optimization to bring the game back down to the required spec. That makes it easier to get certain elements working w/out having to struggle with the fine tuning right away.

@Daveof89: IM going to guess its easier to build what you want and scale down as oppose to trying to build the game within certain limitations right off the bat.
