Ive seen the light on scorpio. Its gonna be great. Gonna buy a pc and a scorpio and play my games in two rooms. Maybe even stream my games from my scorpio to my pc instead of launching the pc version. Maybe do both at the same time, but only when im not using my xboculus elite visor. The future is bright thanks phil

Yeah, everyone has some sort of 1080p device. They are super cheap. Unless your friends are weird hipsters who like to slum it on low res TVs.

Fair enough. I think a lot of people i know actually have 1080p, but they don't know it. Its become much more ubiquitous, but the average gamer can't tell the different between 1080i and 1080p.The difference is there, but its fairly small.

Sorry but this thread is consistent in its view that anything not 1080p native is unwatchable garbage poo poo for idiots and that anything above is worthless crap for morons.

gently caress 1080i. Its like watching tumors form.

Interlacing is worse than just lowering the resolution, IMO. 720p > 1080i.

Edit: I have a 24 inch 1080p screen I got for under $200. 1080p is not an expensive proposition anymore.

I don't believe Scorpio will be water cooled.
If it does, then it will be the second water cooled console, after the first one that was able to run a form of Windows.

It's equivalent to roughly three Atari Jaguars give or take a Super Nintendo. More bits than you'll know what to do with.

"Floating Point Operations per Second." Someone more tech-savvy than me should answer this, but it seems to basically be how many discrete calculations a computer makes in a second. In the case of Scorpio, that would apparently be 6 trillion.

flops are like how many graphics-type calculations can a machine do per second.

reintroducing a single number by which to judge console power is a classic losers move right out of the nineties

Mr SoupTeeth

Basically theoretical operations dickwaving which is only applicable in benchmarks cooked to make hardware appear as useful as the specifications imply. Actual game performance is contingent upon a plethora of factors beyond TFLOPS/fill-rate/caloric content/moxie/gumption.

This generation's 3rd grade console war fight must be interesting.

"My PS4 has 1.8 teraflops, your XBone only has 1.3. And I heard from my uncle at Sony that the Neo is coming this year and it has 4.3 teraflops!"
"Oh yeah? The XBox Scorpio is going to be way more powerful than that! Six teraflops next year!"
"M...my WiiU has Mario and it's really fun and I can play games while my dad watches TV and..."
"Shut up, Nintendo's for kids. 0.3 teraflops, are you kidding me?"

I've gotta say, it's really a shame that Rare Replay came out before Microsoft hit on their idea of shoving all of their games onto PC. That's now the one game the XBone has or will have to itself that I want. (Sunset Overdrive looks decent as well, I guess)

Yeah but with no 4k content nobody cares.

Instead people are just enjoying 1080p screens that are cheaper. Its gonna be hard to get them to go back to thinking of TVs as expensive luxury goods.

Especially since you get diminishing returns with visual fidelity increasing resolution on and on. Like somebody said earlier, 1080p is good enough for most people. Which is why there's no content. Chicken and egg problem there.

Unless you know your way around some fairly complicated settings, n64 emulation is still a tough nut to crack.

I got Rare Replay mainly because I wanted to enjoy Blast Corps, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, and Perfect Dark again. Perfect Dark's remaster in particular is SENSATIONAL. Also its on the 360, totally worth the money.
