I wish Microsoft would have gotten some tech specialists from them but they left to ID Software and maybe other studios. 

Because Microsoft's games are behind Sony's in the graphcis department in my opinion. And not only because of weaker hardware. I don't find it that important but many do. 

Microsoft, specifically at 343i has same very good engine developers, remember what they achieved on the Xbox 360.

Halo 5 fell short, but that could be because of budget and/or the fact the game was rushed and clearly not up to the same level of quality as prior Halo titles on launch.

First of all, when Project Scorpio launches, it will come with Shader Model 6 (SM6) and shader compiler improvements, not only for Scorpio, but for existing Xbox One models as well. SM6 is an API for creating shading, and the new version should bump up efficiency across the board, saving developers time and system resources.

Shader Model 6 is only hardware supported in Graphics Core Next 1.2/Gen 2 and newer. (Whichever you wish to call it.)

Which means the Xbox One and probably the Xbox One S will be limited to Shader Model 5 at a hardware level.
This is either marketing fluff or Microsoft has done a software work-around.

So games will look and run better on 1080p TVs on Scorpio compared to XB1. Color me surprised.

To be fair, it's not overtly difficult to make games look and run better compared to the original Xbox One anyway. :P

My elite controller is down, fuck MS. Every Xbox One controller I've bought has gotten stick drift (which basically causes your analog stick to drift on its own, and this is a nightmare in shooters) #OfficialPonyNow

Yeah. Got the same issue. But mine isn't an elite controller.
Waiting on Scorpio so I can flog it all off.

Glad to see I'm not the only one here who has this issue with Xbox controllers. Guess I've got to flop another 50 bucks on an Xbox controller.

The more MMO RPGs on Xbox the better for me, still waiting on a Realm Reborn although it seems that it will never happen.

Some Destiny 2 leaks based on the leaked megablox set and Gameradar.

At the end of last month, a story broke about a toy manufacturer product listing potentially leaking some details on Destiny 2.

The rumour originated on Neogaf as fans spotted a bunch of unannounced Destiny Mega Bloks sets which appeared on Amazon early.

"One of the Destiny sets features an [event] that clearly hasn't happened in the game yet, and fits with some statements we've heard from [industry insider] Shinobi and Kotaku regarding the Tower and the Cabal. The game also hints at this itself," reads the Neogaf post.

This new Destiny Mega Blok set appears to list one major development in the Destiny 2 storyline. One item, called the Cabal Bruiser Battle Building Set, includes a listing which describes a big battle going on in the Destiny Tower hangar.

The Mega bloks set in question has a description which reads:

“Set the scene for a clash between a Bruiser's crushing strength and a master swordsman's skill. A legendary warrior faces his greatest contest yet in the Tower hangar.

“Wielding his Raze-Lighter, hero of the Crucible Lord Shaxx prepares to pit his blade against the furious cleavers of a Cabal Red Guard.”

While at the time this needed to be taken with a pinch of salt, the rumours have this week gained some traction as Mega Bloks, the manufacturer behind construction-block toys, released a promotional still which added fuel to the fire.

Mega Bloks has released one of three leaked sets, but not the one which details this big fight taking place in the Tower.

However, it does lend plausibility to the rest of the leaked info, so that Destiny Mega Bloks set with the fight in the hanger could come in the coming weeks or months.

GamesRadar's resident Destiny Guru David Houghton has been pouring over the Mega Bloks leak and suggested that if this leaked info is legit and that the Tower attack and Cabal Red Guard are coming, then it means some "pretty heady things" for the future of the game.

Supposedly this also ties in with what GamesRadar has heard about the way Destiny 2 is shaping up, including a "Big, proper, open-world planets " "Multiple towns and settlements" and "a more traditional RPG."

I got a month's EA Access with my Xbox One S. ME:A COME AT ME!



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

I really hope Microsoft releases KillerInstinct: Scorpio Edition, the three seasons + extra characters and arenas, all in true 4K+HDR. They should send it to reviewers again as a new game. It will get glorious reviews.
Also, announce that the new characters, arenas, modes and whatever else are coming as a season 4 for old Xbox One owners.

This franchise needs to be advertised more. Microsoft should treat it as Halo, Gears and Forza. It's not like they have too many quality franchise to ignore this one.

Agreed. Killer Instinct is the fighting game of the Generation. Microsoft needs to milk it for all it's worth, push it farther into the eSports circles if they can.

Bought Pit People on the early access. There's some indie sale going on right now.

Game seems really good. Idk if it will be Castle Crashers good, but there is lots of potential.
