"They’re really excited about what it can do, but what we’re really excited about is the vision of it. A new member of the Xbox family, where your games can go forward with it."

"your games can go forward with it" is a much different statement than all games with be made for both.

Neonridr3392d ago

I think it's lending itself that all games from Xbox One will work with it. So while it may be next gen, it will still have a large library available to it.

Honestly I look at it as another PS4 Pro.

Overload3392d ago

I'm not talking about how people view it, what he says is a very flexible statement in determining if this is their mid gen upgrade or a next gen system with backwards compatibility. "Go forward with" and "all games will be made on both (no one left behind)" are 2 very different statements.

Neonridr3392d ago

@Overload - definitely. But I mean this was also an on-the-spot interview.. we will have to wait for the official unveil to know for sure.

"But I mean this was also an on-the-spot interview.. we will have to wait for the official unveil to know for sure."

I agree, it is not a confirmation of anything, just an interesting change in delivery.

Neonridr3392d ago

@Overload - for sure.. I am cautiously optimistic about the Scorpio. But won't believe anything until I see it.

JasonKCK3391d ago

@Neonridr of course you are

Neonridr3391d ago

@JasonKCK - should I not be? I mean I am a gamer.. so new tech always excites me.

Wii U, PS4 (Pro), 3DS, Vita, Oculus Rift, PSVR, Windows 10 gaming PC and a Switch next Friday. Can you tell I like to game?

JasonKCK3391d ago

Neonridr you have said all this before, was all I was saying.

game4funz3391d ago

@overload
What a big fuss over nothing. Lol
They've said... At last e3... Games made on both. Done. Unless they do a big event in which they change course it is very safe to assume nothing has changed.

To say it's a change of delivery is absurd. You're literally trying to find a difference somewhere. Nitpicking on words and language policing.

Yes, it is much different. XB360 games aren't made for XB1 OR Scorpio, but can go forwards with an investment into Scorpio just the same. Alternatively, any game made for XB1 before Scorpio was in development would not have been made for Scorpio either, but would also go forwards.

New game releases, however, are all going to be made to support both XB1 and Scorpio, perhaps with the exception of VR software. Existing games can also still take advantage of Scorpio through patches just like the Pro is seeing today, or in cases where resolution or framerate is dynamic it will boost automatically like with the XB1S.

rainslacker3390d ago

You may be reading too much into it. Major Nelson isn't exactly known for using words which express what he's trying to say very well. He often comes back and clarifies what he says.

christocolus3392d ago

Nice Interview. We will know more at E3.

denawayne3391d ago (Edited 3391d ago )

My prediction is Scorpio will be a new generation console with the thought that all Xbox One and Xbox 360 games will "move forward" onto it.

IMO, it will be up to the publishers if they want to create games that will be exclusive to Scorpio (but have a smaller user base) or create a game that is compatible with Scorpio as well as Xbox One (with a larger user base).

Disagree all you want (which most Sony fanboys do to positive comments in Xbox articles) but the writing is on the wall. Why would I want to upgrade my Xbox One to a system with better specs if all I'm getting is a higher resolution? Especially if I don't own a 4K TV. Just seems silly.

Automatic793391d ago

Short and straight to the point interview.

alb18993391d ago

They are very close with the project. When you see leak info about Scorpio in the future it will be because they intentionally provide it.

Take-Two CEO Once Again Side Steps Grand Theft Auto 6 Price Point

Strauss Zelnick says price of GTA 6 is being carefully considered and that Rockstar is focused on "making the most spectacular piece of entertainment on Earth."

Kuma39d ago

If GTA 6 abandons everything that made GTA 5 great, it will crash and burn right out of the gate. GTA 5 was funny and not at all PC. My worry is that they will cave to the PC crowd and ruin the vibes.

Eonjay39d ago

They got freaking BBLs twerking on the top of trucks for the gram, the freaking Flordia joker, and dude running down the stree in their undies and you are worried about it being 'too PC'? The internet has runied gamers. It doesn't matter how non-PC they make the game, you will all listen to the grifters telling you not to believe your lying eyes lol.

gigoran839d ago

"Rockstar Games’ co-founder and former VP of Development Jamie King said he envisions GTA 6 as a game that’s “maybe not quite as edgy or quite as funny” as its satirical predecessors."

oh yeah, totally internet grifters spreading rumors...

blacktiger39d ago

That's part of the plan, they destroyed you but they need to destroy the shareholders? Only 1 shre holder is the true elite that don't care

1nsomniac39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Meh.., if it’s above £55 I ain’t buying it.

Rockstar are genuinely not half the company they used to be. I was a die hard GTA fan I’ve purchased every game and expansion and spin off day 1.

My opinion of GTA6 is that I can take it or leave it. Not bothered. They burnt too many bridges.

DaReapa39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

So they're actually leaving the door open for an L.A. Noire sequel? Nice!

VaNdAl39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

He should just come out and say it already it's getting stupid it's going to be a 100 bucks $200 for the special edition🤡🤡; 29315;🤣♿

Storm2339d ago

I won't be getting this game until I can get it for $70. SHoot, I could wait for it to be even lower. I don't need the game that badly as my backlog is still huge and I am enjoying playing other things.

They would be better breaking up what valued assets they still have and put them out to auction for the competition.
There is no more financial gain for them on any trajectory in the entertainment space.
