The Xbox One Scorpio is going to be, to use Microsoft’s own parlance here, a ‘beast’ of a console. And based on what has been announced for it so far, we can believe it, instead of just dismissing it as empty hype, as is usually the case. The console, which will have a 6 TFLOPs GPU, promises to be the most powerful console ever made.
CGM Writes: While we were over at PAX East, we were able to sit down with Goichi Suda (Suda51) and talk about the upcoming remaster of Shadows of the Damned
We explore the Sega classics that are ripe for revival! From Panzer Dragoon Saga to Virtua Fighter, discover why these legendary games deserve a comeback on next-gen consoles. Dive into a nostalgic journey and see which Sega titles are set to captivate a new generation of gamers in 2024.
Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
That's what Win10 and DX12 does. It's easier to port, easier to scale to the platform, and it automatically detects FL Levels to leverage the unique HW of the plaform that it runs on.
Making it easier to take advantage of power that isn't there!? Umm OK.
Seriously though I'm wondering how they are achieving this when the chips haven't been made yet? The chipset that the Scorpio is supposedly using haven't been finalized and aren't supposed to release until 2017. Also it has been rumored that the exact chipset line could be possibly delayed until 2018.
“We are spending as much time and energy on our dev tools as we are on anything customer-facing. Making it easier for developers to take advantage of the power, making it easier for developers who are working on an Xbox One game to get a great Scorpio game and vice versa – we’re developing those tools now.” -Albert P.
I'd preorder a Scorpio right now if it was open
Power and efficiency is a great combo
can MS stop spamming 100 claims a day about scorpio and show the console already. just by looking at the main page i see 4 different articles about MS praising scorpio. it is a great console and all but it's getting on my and probably others nerves.
