Doesn't really look all that better than what we've gotten lately. Maybe a bit but not hugely better. Perhaps in motion it'll show?

Current gen games will look current gen. Faster Jaguar cores, more GPU cores, and GDDR5 are not going to change games, they will just be crisper and cleaner.

Next gen visuals will need more and much stronger CPU cores, more and much stronger/effcient GPU cores, and at least 64GB of GDDR6 or HBM.

I am achampion for both the Pro and the Scorpio. I would even like to see one more revision with Jaguar at 3GHz, around 12TFLOPs of GPU power,and 16GB of GDDR5. Itwould still just be really shinny PS4/XBO games, but I would have no issue buying in a 3rd time this gen if it means a solid 10 year generation.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I don't think this guy knows what "disrupts" stands for.

Effectively the difference between xbox one and scorpio is the difference in performance between Switch portable mode and Switch docked. It's just a visual boost but runs the same games. So I don't understand the EA statement as they will still be programming the same games for xbox one which is the base platform that restricts the maximum performance of Scorpio. The Switch is only a 150/200 gflops portable with 16,000 mips of cpu performance and every game has to work with that all we see with Switch docked is a resolution boost and a more stable frame rate.

Scorpio enhanced versions of xbox one games may have some higher quality textures which isn't something the Switch can do because of the Switching feature but thats really it.I suspect most games will have no enhanced Scorpio assets though and it will be exactly the same situation as Switch.

It's like the only thing Microsoft have learned from Switch is having 2 performance levels.

Switch is new console too how come they didn't say something like that about switch ? 

Switch is work, EA doesn't like to optimize their software. Throw 6tf and 9GB memory at it and all the problems go away ;)

If the sales potential is there, developers may do the work for Switch.

Scorpio is for the most part will just be raising graphics settings.

Scropio is good a solution for those that feel X1/PS4 are greatly underpowered. It can actually devliver 4K games on a regular basis and even makes games look better on 1080p TVs.

I know the CPU in Scorpio is getting a lot of criticism, but the custom CPU could work well in practice.

No. The custom CPU can apparently do the same tasks with significantly less overhead and its clocked higher. The RAM is significantly faster and adds an additional 4 GB for games to access. The GPU is disparity is about 4.5x for Scropio and about 2.5x for Switch docked.

Scorpio is a huge upgrade and it may not always have to share games with OG Xbox. It should be able to support 9th gen games even if OG X1 can't.

"More Teraflops" and "disruptive and innovative" are 2 completely different concepts.

When the car was invented (disruptive, innovative), the horse carriages disappeared, even if they maybe tried to add more horses to have "more power". That's the difference, EA, it's pretty easy to understand, isn't it?

 

EDIT: Oh, that's right, we're talking about people thinking that the annual Fifa release is innovative... Nevermind then.

New hardware is always welcome. It's not like there is a wrong time to release new stuff.

So true the effort in 4k textures in games will also boost this on PC and PS4 pro so its an amazing thing for everyone.

EA is right its at a really good time because most tv's sold today are 4k and gaming needs to start moving towards 4k in anticipation of the next consoles developers need to already be working with these assets, textures etc. Great move overall in the console space by both sony and microsoft.
