There's scenes in the game, I think on the beach, where different characters call her Lara and Laura in the space of seconds.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

gently caress that, it'll be outdone by the fourth iteration which will be the Pro 2 or Pro Slim or 2Pro4U.

This will be a weird one, it's meant to be several orders of magnitude more powerful than the current-gen, but still back-compatible with all XONE games? It's a new generation for them in everything but name.

I'm waiting to see that further outdone when Sony inevitably release the PS4 Ultra...

To be fair, X-Box has always been backward compatible. That's its one major selling point over the competition.

Wonder how big the Scorpio is gonna be. I just saw some Bones in a shop (nobody I know owns one) and they're loving enormous.

I replaced my Xbox One with the S model for that very reason.

I am still not convinced the Scorpio will do all Microsoft claims it will do for a reasonable price point. It'll be a premium product or else MS will be taking losses for years.

Keep bustin'
The $200 I saved by getting a Slim over a Pro didn't make or break my finances, I just like to think of it as $200 more that I can spend on my next big video game purchase without feeling irresponsible. I'm better off that way since I'll probably be doing something dumb like buying a Switch in its first year.

Microsoft confirmed a few months back that it will be significantly more expensive (their words) then the Xbox One S. I don't think they intend to sell it at a price point that appeals to everyone they can, it'll be an enthusiast gaming machine. It's going to have to be able to do native 4K on everything to justify that though.

There's no PS4 Lumines game right? I was thinking about it the other day and kind of want to play it without hooking my 360 up (it's all I have it on okay).

It's going to be trotted out to die at this rate. XBones just don't have the library of exclusives to stand on a newer expensive model the way the PS4 Pro could encourage upgrades with (once that Boost mode came out, at least). It's an overpriced niche machine as you said, but it's up against it's own more conventional sibling, two versions of the PS4, and the Switch. All of which are almost certainly going to be cheaper.

Indeed. Xbox 360's backwards-compatibility has a whole lot of red in its list about which Xbox games are actually playable in a reasonable state and which will just fall over trying to run the disk or have missing textures. And the XBone's hasn't been so much a selling point as "please, god, buy it. We're good for some more exclusives, promise, just play your old stuff in the meantime on it okay? :ohdear:"

I'm hoping Microsoft can pull a rabbit out of its hat because I don't think gamers will really benefit if we're left with Sony having a monopoly over consoles (yes yes, except for the Switch). Keeping that competition going would be nice.

Agreed.
If Microsoft had no competition with regards to paying for an online subscription. we'd still be paying 50 bucks for only the privilege to play online. Now, we atleast get some games out of it.
Competition is only good and I hope Microsoft comes up with something great.
