      Hi guys.

      The guy actually talks to fast, yse he is like an oc cpu.

      Project scorpio rocks and is a mid console project but the future is brighter than orange and scorpio will be backwards compatable with 360 and the old titles will look and play better.

        Looks like a decent setup. I expect Nintendo will do the same (Sony already is, of course), with a new Switch in 18 months or two years that’s twice as powerful, with existing games and new games both forwards- and backwards-compatible. There’s a lot of sense in such a strategy.

          The one thing that sells console hardware is a good stack of games, and I’m afraid it is far too late to offer xbox 360 compaibility as a big attraction, certainly not the half-baked compatibility to be found in Xbox-One. (Kinect games rarely if ever work)

          M$ are going to have to offer serious money to the bigger games makers to get exclusives (even with the Win10 platform thrown in for free).

            Firstly, I fink xbox digital are having a sale tomorrow. Fona Horizon3 ?

            yeah, a couple of golden nugets.

            My current system is basically same as the 6teraflop soc. Wowzers.

            I cannot run Fonza Horison 3 at 1080 full eyecandy, 60 fps. No! and am I running with 4k textures? I doubt it.

            So the guy went on to say hardware rules soft ware but M$ went out of there way to recode the game to true DX 12 for the new soc with a massive increase in performance.

            Thing is that kind of optimisation is never coming to PC. NEVER.

            What can you smell.

              I don’t know if I’m getting old or what, but I just can’t get excited for consoles anymore. If we didn’t have the kids, this latest gen would of been the first since the saga masters system I wouldn’t of bought.

              This time round, we didn’t e en bother with the Xbox one. Last time round we bought a hat full of 360s and two ps3s, this time it’s just a ps4 v1, I played on it one night to test it all worked, wasn’t that impressed, but back then it lacked many of the media od the ps3 had. It was about then I realised, the ps3 solely functioned as a media portal for me for many years. It’s last year I did get gta5, first game for me, in probably 3 years.

              Didn’t event get that far, deciding instead to wait (2 years) for the pc version.

              Ive not even looked at the new ps4 pro /slim, or the latest small Xbox, and looked into the incoming Xbox pro. Though no 4k tvs here, so I can’t see the need to rush out and replace the gen 1 ps4.

                I remeber when the  360 came out, @1teraflop, Im equally blown away by a x86 soc with 6t’flops. ?
