| Ruler said: the Xbox scorpio will cost 500-600€ + the Occolust rift which is 800€. I doubt developers will bother making VR games at all for this expensive combo for such an infant technology. And if MS would be serious about VR we would have seen at least some support for occulist rift on the current Xbox One, why making it exclusive for the Scorpio? Looks more more like a brand new next gen console to me than actually an upgraded Xbox One. |
I think the best way for Scorpio to garner VR game support is by being PC compatible, as there are hundreds/thousends of small projects that don't need much processing power, but the devs probably don't have time/money for a console port.
But knowing MS that will probably be exclusively possible for games that use the universal windows platform and are sold from their own store which limits the amount of titles tremendously.
To feed their 6TF GPU MS really should have something better in there than overcocked Jaguar cores, but like Cerny outlined that might lose them the 0-effort-0-problems 100% Xbox One compatibility of all older titles (unless they assemble a big team that patches all the available titles somehow). I'm very interested if they went with a Zen-based design here and make this a bit of a half-next-gen console with limited backwardscompatibility or if they kept the Jaguar for compatility issues after all.
