Forums - Microsoft - Spencer: Scorpio won't do anything for you if you don't have a 4K TV

Good! Hope that it is the same with PS4 Neo.

Come on, this is just typical M$ bulllshit.

And I highly doubt that 4k is the main focus here, the main reason for developing the Scorpio was most probably being capable to do VR. Even the original PS4 can only do VR by making certain sacrifices, but the original Xbox One is completely lost.



well, there it is....Just get a S model then.



you guys do realize that even with NEO, you would need a 4k tv to get full benefit right? same thing with scorpio. this should be understood already.. he just didn't word it correctly.



Praise the One.

Also kinda on topic I guess but anyone else on these forums have a 4k TV as well??

I don't have a 4k TV, but i did buy a 4k monitor when i built my new PC. I'm ahead of the gaming curve, boys o/

i'm pretty sure that I saw an interview two days ago where he said that it's up to the developers how to use the extra power. And that was a video and not a written statement.

But I'm too stupid to find it...

It would be pretty stupid if it would be only about a resolution increase on 4k TVs (+HDR) and not also a possibility for devs to add better effects, drawing distance and stuff like that if you play "only" in 1080p

They have to give people choices if they rather like to play in 4k or in 1080p with better effects and maybe 60 instead of 30fps in singleplayer and so on...maybe implement a "performance or graphics mode" for people who play below 4k so that they get either the best performance or the best graphics.

That would give many people a reason to buy Scorpio even without 4k TVs and even for people with 4k TVs it would give them more options. I mean, with a 4k TV I would still choose to play in 1080p in some singleplyaer games if I could get 60fps instead of 30fps. Scorpio is perfect to give people these choices, don't act as if it is better if people can't choose different options. 

It also sounds as if Scorpio will be damn expensive. Not made to sell many units but only to sell maybe already with profit at release or close to it. 



WTF? Such confused messaging, trying to talk up 2 skus that kind of negate each other. But spencer has to tout the S since that's coming first.

Was kind of hoping 30 FPS 4K games would be 60 FPS on 1080p.



Another botched and mixed message from Phil and Microsoft. They haven't a clue. Buying Linkedin just proved it too

One of the reasons why Sony is leading to console gen.
