They didn't say "exclusive to Xbox and Windows 10" just "coming to Xbox and Windows 10".

I'm not 100% but that probably distingushes the Windows 10 Store. But DR3 came to Steam, and is playable on Win7 etc.

You may be right there.

Doubt they'd nerf the Xbox S chances like that. We'll see!

 

Also doubt the 6 TFLOPS deal would be ready this year.

Nope, didn't show you what it looks like.

Because it won't even be built yet. Hardware is in preliminary stages.

 

If they could show you what it was like it wouldn't be 1.5 years away.

That was never going to happen though.

 

Looks like we're all right though, the future of consoles is incremental hardware updates without sacrificing backwards compatibility.

Decent conference, but damn that leak list hurt it.

 

Scorpio announcement while good to clear up rumours is very early and hard to get all that excited about. It's a while off. IMO no point in buying an Xbox S, original One owners should just hold off till next years E3 and hope for full specs and prices of Scorpio.

 

Seems like a tactical announcement to try and dampen the Neo release this year (as specs will be lower).

 

Crackdown being MIA was strange.

Better start saving...

There's enough time, and they only said 2017, not holiday 2017, it could be next Spring, or in the summer, like July.    At least they're going to give developers time to play with it.

That's my plan really. All depends on the details and release but i'd hate to grab an XB1S (lol) now just to have to replace it in a couple of years.

Yeah not sure why anyone would buy the S unless they discontinued the original.

    • Amazon eero Pro 6E mesh Wi-Fi system 2-pack is 27% off

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Personally, I think these things are way over rated and way over priced, even at this price. I recently had Frontier Fiber installed with 2 of these devices and although they worked, I switched back to my own router and AP setup and get way better consistency on wireless speed than with Eeros. Wired speed seems to be more consistent also. Will be returning Eeros soon. I had told Frontier I didn't want them to begin with.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By tboggs13 · Posted

      Yes, exactly what I have been thinking. Don't make the context menu simpler, make it smarter to learn what I actually use. And then, give me the ability to pin settings that I rarely use but need forget where they are.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.
