Thats the irony isnt it? they where downplaying Sony's PS4pro for useing special techniques to reach 4k. Saying "its not true native 4k", and the plan all along was for them to do something simular.
Its not just magically going to save the xbox one, and make it sell a million times faster. |
If it's much like the PS Pro then MS was very misleading with their marketing. What I think a lot of Xbone users are expecting is exactly what MS has hyped. The most powerful console ever, and we can expect MS's own games to run in native 4k. Now, if it's "much like the Pro" in terms of 3rd party games, well, only the delusional would be disappointed in that, because we've been told nothing by anyone that would lead them to believe otherwise. MS has said from the start their games would be native 4k and third parties are free to do whatever. There's not much reason for them do put a lot more effort into the Xbone builds than PS4, unless they already have a comparable PC build ready to go.
Either way, at the very least, it will run games better than the Pro, the games will look better than on the Pro. That's pretty funny given how the gen started and all the fucking fuss we heard about 900p vs 1080p and all the threads we got making sure Xbone owners understood their versions looked slightly worse and had a slightly less stable framerate. That's been the most entertaining part about this link. PS4 is around 40% or so more powerful than the Xbone and it's a huge deal. Scorpio is around 40% more powerful than Pro and MS somehow still fucked it up. So much faux outrage and concern trolling :)
@bold, who in the world honestly expected that? It seems a lot of people have the expectations of the general Xbone user far off when it comes to the Scorpio. Despite what you might see or hear in various Youtube videos, most of us aren't expecting an $800 God in a box console that MS will sell for less than $400 that will instantly sell hundreds of thousands of units, run all games in native 4k at 60fps and magically turn around the console race. Again, we're expecting nothing more than what has been shown. The most powerful console ever. MS games in native 4k.
Another incorrect assumption I've seen during talks about this leak is the idea that Xbone users excited or looking forward to the Scorpio must by default be disappointed in the Xbone. False. I play my Xbone way way more than my PS4 because of the controller, UI, and superior online play. If you're telling me I keep all of that, AND get better running games and the most powerful console ever? Why would I not be all over that? It's no different than when a new phone comes out. Was every person who upgraded from a iPhone 6 to a 7 disappointed in the 6? No. They wanted the superior technology. This is no different.
