Missed opportunity. Missed out on a cool name too. Scorpio was way cooler when it was still theory and had a different name.
The stock of a company won't change who is making better videogame products.
It got as boring as it's renaming did. If I'm being honest. I'm a graphics whore yet somehow I didn't get my whore on that much. I'm being completely honest. The closest it came was a multiplatform game. For half a second I was excited about Metro too. Then I think I realized it's going to look almost the same on Pro.
The point was everyone knew they had great games eventually coming. It was a given pretty much.
They missed a huge opportunity on naming too. I really liked the Scorpio idea and name. A few logo ideas on the controller and system would have been badass but then they dumbed it down and made it look plain too.
Would it honestly be that hard? Sony could do it's normal E3 presentation and come out winners. I honestly think just more God War gameplay and a few surprise announcements would win now. We all know they will show more than that though. I think they have a great event planned full of exclusive content.
Scorpio was a way better name. A nice scorpion in green or silver on top of that big black box. Complete with scorpion emblems on the controller would have made it feel more exclusive. Whoever told them to go with generic Xbox X made a mistake. I think they definitely missed a opportunity there. Now it's nothing more than another version of Pro premium upgrade. The presentation was off too. The games themselves were awesome but lacked a narrative on what made them only possible on Scorpio...
Many will get confused and just buy Billy the Xbox S. Once a parent is told the difference they won't care. They will just hear it plays the same games and get the default cheaper console. They won't be able to quantify little Billy's excitement over the improvements he perceives.
So... Again it was basically what we said it would be all along. Which is a premium console and not a generation leap. Now it's some nice hardware granted but it's essentially a more expensive PS4 Pro with a few upgrades. Which is fine but I'm not sure it's worth that price point for a huge market of gamers.
I was not underwhelmed. I just wasn't overwhelmed with their actual exclusive games. The games which really grabbed me are the ones that are multiple platforms. They were pretty impressive but without a proper comparison to Pro or even regular Xbox S there was no way to actually see the gap in difference and grasp the quality of upgrade. Granted a few of them looked gorgeous but as I said... No real comparison yet. What people will need to quantify value is Xbox X vs Xbox S vs PS4 Pro vid...
This game might make actually finally buy the PS4 Pro finally. That way I can get a close representative of the games graphics at a hundred less.
I think k that's the point Xbox missed out on. This and Metro looked fantastic but at the moment nobody knows the difference between this and PS4 Pro version. A missed opportunity on a awesome looking game.
Basically the PS4 could do anything like drop PS4 Pro prices and they win. I hope PS4 just decides to drop megaton exclusives and put away Microsoft though. Not because a whole system war but for just not being complacent. I don't feel Xbox had a great E3. Hopefully PS4 does.
I liked what I saw but I'm not sure they made a big enough impression to dent Sony. It was not a very clear message of the type upgrade I get. No real comparison videos. The tech maybe needed better explanation or I missed the first half of the presentation. So maybe I need to go back and watch from the beginning. What I saw is nothing I haven't seen yet though. It looked very nice though in spots.
It's a impressive game. I was so glad it's multiplatform. I'm not so sure Xbox one X made that big of a impression except for the multiplatform games. Which we know the difference between the Pro and X until comparison videos comes out.
I'm not sure I saw a game I had to have that was a exclusive. As I understand it the two best looking games are Metro and Anthem. If I'm not mistaken those are multiplatform. They looked awesome though. Idk it was a mixed signal they sent on showing the power difference. I wish they had conveyed the difference better. Overall I liked it somewhat just not sure it's worth it if I can find most of the experiences on PS4 Pro at a lower price.
Pretty long presentation. Stuck around to see it all. The console is nice. I was impressed with Metro and Anthem. I think those are cross platform games but I can really see the great graphics upgrade in those. In relation to how much a upgrade it is I'm still not sure yet till we get comparison videos. Overall Xbox had some interesting diversity.
I'm pretty sure they could club a baby seal live on stage and still come out winners at E3.
Not only that it made up for it with free online and a Blu-ray player. It was way more value.
A giant black scorpion on the black console with in the middle of it would have been badass. Xbox Scorpio. They would have sold a few extra million with the look alone.
