ah, my bad. It'll probably stay PC and X1 for the generation.

Ah but they've stated with other game if it's an exclusive to MS, not with DR4 though

 

EDIT: AB beat me to it

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.

They surely wouldn;t have bothered with an XBox One S

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.

Scorpio time

Someone is getting fired for leaking all of that list.

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

here we go. Now or never.

[MikeChipshop Member]

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

They're just going to show a PC

Leakers got it all right, there's your Scorpio at the end of next year

[MikeChipshop Member]

I was wrong

[vcfan]

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.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Should I repin the Resolution-gate topic, guys?

 

OP updated

[dipsylalapo Supervisor]

Your move Sony...I wonder if Neo will still be pushing out around the same time. 

 

either way....anyone wanna buy an Xbox?

[wakjak]

Looks like Xbox One S is the sequel to Xbone. From the sounds of "No one left behind, all games will be compatible"... AS THEY BLOODY WELL SHOULD BE..

Better start saving...

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.

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.
