In conversation with Stevivor, Xbox's Phil Spencer detailed how he describes a teraflop when trying to sell Microsoft’s upcoming beefed-up Xbox One, Project Scorpio.
ARK: Survival Ascended has introduced Premium Mods on consoles. Wccftech talked to Studio Wildcard and their partner Overwolf about the rising importance of user-generated content, especially for live service games.
Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
Druckmann claims the tech could 'push the boundaries of storytelling in games.'
I’m more interested in what else he said.
“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’
He also said it has "ethical issues we need to address" but of course that doesn't get the clicks.
I’m all for it. Cuts the time to make a game. Look, Hellblade 2 took 5 years to make, if AI can do that in half the time, as a consumer, I support it.
"As far as whether or not Spencer considers the Scorpio a current- or next-gen iteration, he’s remaining tight-lipped. Spencer considers the Scorpio a current- or next-gen iteration, he’s remaining tight-lipped. “I just consider it as part of the Xbox family,” he said, matter-of-factly."
This is interesting, so maybe it will be a successor to the Xbox One after all, possibly with a transition period during which games are available on both consoles, and after that we might even get Scorpio exclusives that make full use of its power? It would make sense.
Can't wait for the reveal. 4k is cool but I'd love to see devs utilize the power of this machine properly...it's clearly very capable, afterall it's got a very powerful GPU, a new CPU and a lot more RAM and even memory bandwidth is greatly increased. Devs shouldn't make 4k a priority. 1080p/60fps with all bells and whistles turned on should be incredible. Anyways I expect to see Dice and Bethesda at the reveal along with MS studios.
Hopefully, the Xbox One super or whatever can learn from the PS4 pro's weaknesses and force developers to give the player more options.
It will be compatible with the "next-gen" Xbox, I'm certain. In a few years home consoles will go for 4k standard but the Scorpio will play the games fine on 1080p TVs.
I'm gonna write an article on here about what Phil Spencer had for lunch. I could title it "Microsoft eats better than Sony". I bet it would start a big verbal sparing match.
