Microsoft has given us the official unveiling of the Xbox Project Scarlett, their next gen console. It’s set for launch Holiday 2020, and will be “4x” faster than the Xbox One. Will utilize the power of the cloud. Phil Spencer claims that it will have 120hz support and up to 8K resolution. Halo Infinite will be a launch title.

Read my response above. Power will matter if the thing cant run the games. That's why it is selling besides the portable thing, because it at least can run some current gen titles...

You're only thinking about games from a powerful console standpoint. 3DS just released it's last game Switch has handheld market to itself and companies can save money by releasing their games on it. There's no reason to think they won't. Switch has sold over 30 million units already you don't think third party companies want in on that?

but now that 4k blurays are a thing not having a disc drive is dumb imo, also without discdrive there is no backwards compat unless for store bought digital games i guess becuase you cant just stick an xbox disc to do the drm anymore lol.

One thing that sucks about the XB1 4K Blu-ray drive is that it only has Dolby Vision support for a select list of televisions. Even if you have a capable tv, if it's not on their list you can forget it. If your tv doesn't support Dolby Vision it's obviously not an issue for a person, but I nearly bought one ONLY for it's 4K player until I found out my $1,200 DV capable tv from 2017 isn't supported. So even WITH the drive - it was still a failure. Again, IMO, because people get butt hurt over what is obviously an opinion so you need to specifically point it out to them in every frigging post.

The return of my favorite catchphrase:

“Xbox One and Windows 10 Exclusive”

Porting to a platform which isnt as capable as the ones you were developing for can cost a lot of money. Of course the switch could still receive third party games, but the ones coming from the ps5 or scarlet are extremely unlikely, so new, exclusive switch titles are the only thing i see possible (just like how third parties were on the 3ds era).

The wii was a successful console, but it is full of shovelware and few third parties titles coming from the ps3/360, then you had the exclusive third party titles. The scenario is repeating now. Popularity doesnt matter if the cost of downgrading your game is huge, especially to the point it will be unrecognizable from your original vision, it's a huge no no to certain developers.

It's just the fanboys. When I said I was disappointed in most of the games in the Microsoft E3 thread I was told to "find a new hobby"

More than we can say about the abortion Wii U was.

The Wii U was and still is a great system and imo at this point still has a better library than the Switch. By the time 2020 comes around though, the number of worthy games on the Switch will surpass that of the Wii U. The only reason it failed is due to poor marketing and bandwagon hate.

At least the gamepad was a better controller than the joycons. The sticks were the correct size, comfortable, the buttons were nice, especially the L/R and ZL/ZR. The joycons are, ugh... literally overpriced garbage with sticks that end up drifting for no reason. But they do their job for portable play... kinda... But yeah, the switch library at least is better.

if that halo trailer was to show scarlet power i wasnt impressed, the graphics looked preety standard gen imo.

It was a cinematic

Not gameplay

You're clearly a fanboy, and too immature to realize we live in a huge world and not everybody shares your opinion.

I went in wanting to be impressed and I wasn't. I'm allowed to give my opinion don't like it put me on ignore.

You were one of the few that was impressed with that presentation why don't you go after every one else that was down on it but you just go after me well guess what you're going to get it back.

 

[sarkwalvein]

Too much aggressiveness and name calling, another average day on the temps.

Why don't you go back in that thread and get on every single person's case that didn't like the presentation. There were way more than loved it like you did. I got nothing else to say to you.

No Banjo. Rareware fans left in the cold once again...

Xbox. Always boasting about having the greatest console ever. They sound like Dragon Ball: Never ending search for power.

They don't understand that it's okay, but the core of a game is the quality, the fun, not if it is the best looking game.

 

[Godofcheese]

I was also thinking about this quote
** the new Xbox "combines an SSD with a solid state drive to deliver great performance" **

A load of buzzwords to confuse the customer (us), but is it tho? I think more that the people that did the talking were the confused ones and knew nothing about hardware.

If that quote is going to make any sense then they are prolly going to use a M.2 SSD as a Cache to speed up load times in games, just like an optane drive for an example.
and then have an ordinary Sata styled SSD for your games.

 

[Alysh_Graham]

Upon watching the Scarlett reveal trailer, I'd bet that the Scarlett is going to beat the PS5 at one point(even though Sony never showed up on E3).

 

[TunaKetchup]

Yeah. most of the time

But in this case its hard to say

 

[orangy57]

I wonder if developers will still make their titles compatible with Xbox one still for a while since both the xbone and this will be x64-based
