............. So why is Sony making the Neo?
Scorpio was "leaked" well before the Sony Neo stuff was.
There is no silence.
Xbox One s is a smaller version of the Xbox One with HDR and 4k disc playback.
Scorpio is a more powerful Xbox Hardware that will play the same games and will release holiday 2017.
WTF is there more to understand?
Steam was once garbage.
You would still have people that say they see differences if you pause the video at 4:15, do an 8x zoom into the left corner, and then cross your eyes.
It's all about the ...................*drum roll* ............ Opinion.
Marketing, PR, public perception, all play apart in the interweb wars of who won a contest that cannot be won.
4k does not equal graphics. It's a resolution, but your point stands.
Personally, anything over 900p these days is fine with me resolution wise. I just want better textures, AA, lighting, etc. I don't care if any games on the Neo/Scorpio come in 4k. If I can atleast get 1080p with PC ultra settings and maybe a little extra at 60fps, I will be satisfied from a console perspective.
S model will support Kinect.
The base Xbox One model doesn't do VR, and since the S is a base Xbox One model it will not either.
Samsung Gear VR was used for Minecraft.
Edit: but, I understand your grievances. PR/Marketing gets on my nerves all the time.
This wasn't a "Scorpio" reveal. It was just an announcement. It wasn't a show, in February, specifically to reveal the console.
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd here we go!
I love the Crossbuy idea. I can buy a game and let my kids enjoy it on the console, while I play it on my PC and still enjoy all of the perks of playing on Xbox (controller, achievements, friends list, etc).
It's only that much when you start out. You can upgrade the same core PC build for years with a GPU and Ram (Amount) upgrade. These CPU's will last for a while and still provide great performance.
All Spiderman games have not been bad. I have thoroughly enjoyed a few.
My thoughts:
Sonyboy: Who cares about f'n Spiderman? It's exclusive? THIS IS THE BEST F'N GAME EVER!!!!!
Xboxboy: Who cares about f'n Spiderman? It's exclusive? THIS IS SOME F'N BULLCRAP. I LOVE TO PLAY SPIDERMAN GAMES!!!
Xbox is a Platform on PC. You will have to buy those PC games from the Xbox Store, with an Xbox Live ID whether generated from the console, or PC.
Leave it in, people complain. Take it out, people complain.
A good move for new customers that don't care about Kinect, but it alters the mindset of current owners who have Kinect and thought about upgrading to the S.
*opinion* I don't care either way, but I'm sure they can come out with a USB 3 dongle like they did for the Xbox 360.
Sometimes you have to swallow your pride and keep it moving.
Xbox One will not be doing VR
I finally found a good shot of the rear of the console and noticed something was missing
GTX 1080 seems to handle 4k pretty well. Single GPU
That goes both ways.
4k depends on if you have a 4k player, 4k Blu-ray, and a 4k television.
