Sony at least doesn't need to catch up, made a cheap upgrade and has the games to pack it up and at least in the sense of VR it makes sense to provide something that can handle VR better. Also the upgrade isn't that big and it fits easily withing the normal PS4 ecosystem and the games won't be held back that much by the standard PS4.

The Scorpio will have a lot of wasted hardware power because the games still need to be the same as for the normal X1 besides of r...

They would have been better off waiting for a bit and launching a better console next generation instead of spending time and money on the Scorpio since it's just a more powerful X1. It's still going to play the same games just nicer looking like the Pro does compared to the normal PS4 with the difference that every MS game is on PC anyway.

With the configuration that Digital Foundry showed I also don't see it being cheap so it doesn't have the games and wil...

Is that only a remaster or april fools joke?

Doubtful given that Ubisoft tried once to make an AC game a showcase for Xbox in recent times and Ubisoft has nothing to gain by gathering to the smallest group.

Don't feed Erik the troll. :D

They came up with something more original and people didn't like it complaining that it wasn't like the old ones.

Agree. The MP was horribly unbalanced and a mess.

Did 343 organise the event or MS?

Could need some more/better Anti Aliasing. Hope that's sorted before the actual release. Otherwise looks good. Any information on what wheels are supported?

A good thing? If the items woupd be only cosmetic I wouldn't care if all the items cost 2000 bucks but they aren't just cosmetic. They come with better stats and for a full price multiplayer game to have microtransactions for better gear is plain stupid snd not a good idea.

If he would have listened to the community they would have more games and not less because of studio closings of big very well known devs and game cancellations. Of all companies MS is the one hurting for cash so they have to close studios like Lionhead?

I got the original Xbox and the 360 on launch, but there is zero that indices me to buy an X1 just for a small selection of games. Especially not since they are also releasing the games on PC now. That strategy is fine if y...

Playable, I don't see it that way and it's not just about female characters. Look how many games have their token black guy and often a bulky guy that swears a lot and that applies not only to african americans but also in many games to other ethnicities, genders, etc.

A lot of games still have their token characters based in stereotypes instead of a more natural and realistic implementation of different people.

I don't fully agree. Sure animations and models aren't great in many places, but those are the main issues. Outside of that it's a fun game and yes it plays like Mass Effect, but that's the point of it. I don't play Mass Effect because I want to play a game that feels like Horizon (awesome game). Any sequel I get is because I want more of the same with a new story or continuation of a story with nice graphics and some new or improved mechanics here and there. The graphics ...

You probably want to replay them if you think they had been better in every way including animation. Mass Effect 2 is one of the best games in my opinion but the animations or character models had the same issues they still have. A lot of people seem to have rose tinted glasses. The original three games had the same horrible animations and human faces overall with some good ones here and there mainly for the team members. Aliens are the only ones that always looked good across the board.

Yes and no. Overall the engine is quite a step up from UE3, but it doesn't look like they have caught up in the character model and animation department and it's not new that that's their weak point.

Most tablets/phones don't contain full sized games installed on them and the Switch isn't a tablet or phone it's a gaming console/handheld. With the game sizes nowadays that isn't even enough to hold an average sized big budget game.

At the bare minimum they should have made it that save games can be backed up/stored on the SD card or at least on the cartridge itself.

That's not how it works in general. What's on the store and is being downloaded is what you would submit. If you would have some sort of language packs you would need to submit them separately as some sort of DLC.

That's a very simplified look at it. First of all if you can't fit everything into one version you will need to make more versions and need to submit all of them. After all you need to pack in all the audio files and for a normal game that can be a lot of data and from the rumours the cartridges aren't cheap so you want to keep using the smallest ones possible. How it is handled doesn't matter, what matters is how much data you have and how much space available. That's fin...

I would imagine that's just partially correct. Region free isn't new, but if you can't fit everything into one version (as example if you buy a Japanese version of most games it's only Japanese and best case scenario it has English as well but no other languages) you will need to submit more than one version because you have to make more than one version.

And? Fallout 4 as example isn't that old and look how poor that one is from a technological standpoint while getting less complaints from the media over their piss poor efforts.
