Relaunched RARE ip?

Don't think we'll see Scorpio but could always be wrong. Best line of games on any of the consoles for me just give me Horizon but and I'll be happy. And if the talk of it being based in Australia is true.... 

 

Talk of Scorpio would only happen if it was coming out sooner than later, but I don't think it is so I don't expect it.  MS can always do it's own Xbox event later this year just for that if they wanted to.  With a slim coming in August, I just don't see yet another system coming a bit after that, it'd kill sales for the current and newer slim model.  

Yeah, as we get closer to E3, more and more people are expecting MS NOT to talk about Scorpio, doing so would only hurt future sales of the newer mini XB1.   And if Sony doesn't talk about Neo then MS can hold off as well.

Interesting, thought the same thing about the dots. Wonder if white will be the only option.

 

For the sake of what it is, I don't think that I'll be upgrading my One. I have no interest in the 4K video and not really fussed about the slim profile. 

 

Bring on Scorpio

 

Damn MS got a leaky ship just now

Dead Rising 3 or 4? Wasn't 3 a launch title for One?

 

These leaks are disappointing always take away from the show that I'm sure many people worked hard on

We've known about Halo Wars 2 for quite some time now, that's nothing new.

He meant Dead Rising 4 and Halo Wars 2 beta.

News of the beta for Halo Wars 2 came up yesterday or the day before.  Besides, we know about the game and that it's coming, getting a beta for it is just a nice bonus but really a given at this point, lots of games get betas nowadays.

Yeah, the rumor is for scorpio next year, if so then there's no reason for them to talk about it now only to have it come  8-12 months later.

 

This slim probably has updated video out hardware, to decode 4k video etc.   I like the fact they officially support it standing vertical as well.   I wonder if they're going to stick with white as the only color for it?  It would be a easy way to tell it apart at retail for people who don't know, parents.  Kids can just say, get the white one not the black one etc.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
