what was the language used on xb1 compatibility with scorpio games? i missed the show. it is as stringent as the Neo leak wording and house's statements have been?

They haven't gone into the same level of detail but their vision is you buy a game digitally and play it on whatever you want.

but their games already have a white list for what they run on on the win10 store. will games post 2018 have scorpio on that list and not one the way current 3d card requiring games don't show surface?

The real genius of that trailer is that for the next two years, every cross-plat game that arrives in classic Xbone condition can now be defended by saying "Oh well they must be targeting Scorpio specs, I'm sure it'll kick the PS4 versions rear end when you play it on that"

Is not hard to have different resolutions for games depending on what system they run. Consoles are little PCs anyways. You can set a game to run on 720p, 900p, 1080p or 4k just as they launch on the One or Scorpio. Even Xbox360 games rendered on different resolutions due to the limitations of the hardware.

Yeah I don't think anyone familiar with the Xbox one is going to scoff at the idea of games operating at lower resolutions than other versions.

If I recall correctly, they did this with Windows 1.0 to screw over Apple. After all of the distributors canceled their Apple orders, Microsoft went ahead and delayed Windows 1.0 for another year.

Probably not, but bro have you seen the quality of the pixels? Have you seen all the flops it has?

If they can't emulate that turd in software or shrink the whole mess into a couple chips mostly separate from the rich creamy Scorpio innards they're taking the worst possible path, so it's a safe assumption they'll just double up the ESRAM and go with a higher CPU clock.

Please Microsoft is going to go insane and make the innards 4 Bones strapped together and the way it's back compatible is by making bone titles not know there are three more clones setups to use.

I m sure Scorpio will be part 100% xbox one and part a tiny in-the-box azure cloud server providing the rendering that was promised via the cloud directly in the box, with no need of an extra ISP subscription, and absolutely no online downtime.

Scorpio is another panic rush job from MS in response to how poorly the Xbone is selling. When released it's going to be overpriced and underwhelming.

I don't understand why MS is releasing a new console when it's clear every game for Xbone will be available on Windows 10. Just release an update for Windows 10 that makes every PC and Xbox, kill the Xbone and call it a day.

They already said that every Xbox exclusive is coming to PC.

The kicker is that they're only coming to Windows 10 and only in the app store.
