This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]515199[/split]
Agreed. The Scorpio looks great but the conference was missable. They really aren't focusing on making exclusives that matter.Probably the weakest XBox e3 showing since 2013 imo.
Pros
* Forza 7 looks great, no Porsche DLC, return of point to point tracks.
* XBox One X has great specs. price isn't too bad for 4K Gaming.
* Backwards compat for original Xbox = Kotor, Crimson Skies, Mech Assault
Cons
* Crackdown and Sea of Thieves look like cheap last gen indie games. Both games look like they're light on story and will get old after an hour.
* No new AAA exclusive IP's
* Timed exclusives.
* No single player Rare games (No new Conker or Banjo)
* No news on Halo
4K TVs aren't expensive any more, especially smaller ones. People on a certain budget can benefit from getting a bottom of the line 4K TV and X1 S without breaking the bank.
true.
but it just seems like if you are already spending that much on a 4K tv and a console, then you could use the next few months to save up that extra $150 or $200 for the X.
I do have a feeling, though, that the S will continue to sell well this year and that the X won't sell that well this holiday.
I think the $499 price tag is a bit too steep.
MS should have skipped the S and just released the X now ( this summer ) for $399.
THAT would have been the sweet spot, imo.
The S has already served its purpose to an extent, and will eventually replace the original X1 altogether (I think) when it gets cheap enough. It's the fat original with a power brick and no 4K playback that will become the useless one rather than the S which can apparently be sold quite cheaply already (I picked one up recently but will still be getting Scorpio).
You could tell Scalebound was definitely supposed to headline this reveal.
it will be interesting to see how well the X sells this holiday. just feels to me that the 2 will eat into each other's market shares and cannibalize each other to an extent.
but I guess that's to be expected as the console makers adopt a more "smartphone" like cycle model.
I guess I take an awesome looking Forza as given, it's not that I'm not excited for it. They seemed to have cracked that nut many moons ago so it's not the info I look for from the conference. The multiplat games looked great and I look forward to trying them and existing games in 4K on the Scorpio. The BC of original Xbox games is also huge as it means I can play every edition of an Xbox title across 3 generations on one machine.I thought it was a good conference. I guess it all depends on what games you like to play? There were a bunch of games that I'm excited for: Forza7, Metro, Ori, Cuphead, Shadow of War, Crackdown 3, The Last Night, Sea of Thieves, Anthem, Super Lucky's Tale. And then with Bethesda, I'm looking forward to The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2.
I thought all of those looked great.![]()
Maybe. But you remember my situation as I wasn't planning to get the S at all and was going to wait and get 2 Scorpios. In the end it was too cheap and convenient to resist and meant I can leave an Xbox in my parent's home so having the full range of options available can mean there is a solution to every level of consumer.
did they not shown any Killer Instinct stuff?
.
Spencer mentioned at the end of the conference that Killer Instinct will support 4K on Scorpio soon. That is all they revealed. Maybe there is more news coming soon?
