Yep.

It could be 900p vs 1080p all over again.
I can't see any real difference and don't see how this would affect any one enjoyment.

But... if back in 2013 people where calling XOne games "unplayable", "ugly" and "a mess", I believe Microsoft should ride the power wagon full throttle.

Funny really. Back when PS4 and XB1 launched almost side eachother. All i remember reading was how much those little differences mattered. Now the shoe is on the other foot and all of a sudden those little differences dont matter.

Trust me on this. Native 4k looks alot better in motion especially considering the Scorpio has alot of head room to play with. So expect added effects and details  (If Devs use it)

Wait till E3 when they start announcing games for it and offering the superior experience.

Funny all i remember is people going "who cares". "900p, 1080 whats the difference?". And "The difference is only 180 who is going to notice that?" and many variations of that.

I still stand by that. The leap between 900p and 1080p does seem minimal in comparison to 900p for most Xbox One games and 4k, wouldn't you agree?

Which actually in general I agree with. Unless I sit there and actively look for the differnece I never saw it. Just like now. I'm not going to care about the little hairs on the legs of a beetle.

Also for the shoe to be on the other foot, Microsoft would Need to be the cheapest, most powerful, and have a ton of "exclusives" for it. It will be the most powerful, it will also be the most expensive and well.... yeah not even close on that third one.

The 100 price tag from the forced bundling of the kinect and the horrible PR mattered a lot more than the slight difference in power. By the time those were overcome they were buried in a landslide of exclusives.

Why people insist in bringing "exclusives" in every thread about power or performance?

Let's keep each subject reserved to a especific type of thread.

There is no if. Pretty tempted to go digging. I still remember all the Ryse threads. Quite a few members here will have to backpedal on their words because situational changes and agenda

I also remember people saying the performance gap would continue to increase and developers would drop XOne suporte because they wouldn't be able to run their games.

I lost count how many time I was suppended because I called those guys BSs out.

Apparently, Xbox One support wasn't dropped. But 3rd party support for the PS4 flourished.

That depends if your TV also quadruples in size.
Atm I'm looking at

I'll stick with my projector as it's still good enough at 1080p. Heck it was good enough for Alan Wake.
I can't see differences above 1080p as I don't have 10k+ lying around for a 4K projector or 92" 4K tv.

It's funny how a few years ago everyone was hell bend on 4K being useless under a certain size. Now it's amazing and even suitable for 40" tvs? I'm sure 4K projection at 92" will provide a visible upgrade. Down to a 60" tv and under, not so much.

The diminishing returns are strong with this one.

Which is a good thing. Hopefully games will start focusing on more important things soon.

Making new ip is hot and exclusive is an elusive ordeal for Microsoft. This is why theyve been paying third party for everything. Their competitors have the potential to deal double damage to Microsoft because not only can they make third party deals but they can make new ip on par or better than their competition from first party. Everything Microsoft is doing with the Scorpio to the thousand and one controllers is a distraction. I'm hopeful but the good thing about being a Microsoft consumer is it leaves room to be surprised because their standards for exclusives are Extremely low.

I just got my XBO, so I have a horse in this race too. I hope E3 is big for them.

Do yourself a favor and get ryse for free. Pick up sunset overdrive as well as ori and the blind forest. Best three new games you will on the Xbox. They don't have much else that's new unless you're into fighters.
