I better see details tomorrow.

Ceaser98573612600d ago

I hear it will be an article reveal. Big things are coming on E3

OpenGL2601d ago

the minimum framerate will be higher, obviously Scorpio like the Xbox One S will play regular Xbox One games better. That won't mean much though when a game already sticks to its framerate cap well.

IndominusRex2601d ago

But isnt the framerate locked at 30 fps? Wouldnt they have to unlock it etc?

bluefox7552600d ago

You'd think so, maybe they just mean fewer drops below 30.

chrisoadamson2600d ago

@brich233 PC gamers have different framerates depending on their rig setup and no uproar over multiplayer ! let it be different I say

OpenGL2600d ago

That is what I meant bluefox, like the PS4 Pro with Boost mode, Scorpio will probably make unpatched Xbox One games have fewer framerate drops.

Whether that's worth $400-500 or whatever is another discussion entirely

ULTp0ltergeist2601d ago

I wonder if Scorpio players will get a benefit in multiplayer with better frame rates against original Xbox One

brich2332600d ago

For the shooters: Cod, Halos, Gears, and battlefields are all 60 fps. The PVP games under 60 that are 30fps games I recall are Destiny, and Rainbow Six siege and For honor. I wonder myself if they would allow it, It would probably be a little bit unfair but not gamebreaking.

Obscure_Observer2600d ago

They are not. MS already confirm games will have the same framrate on both consoles. Forza Horizon 3 for example, will run at 30fps on multiplayer mode for both Scorpio and Xbox One

Hardiman2601d ago

If this pisses me off so you don't have time to do a little for the Pro but for Microsoft no problem. I believe they said they were done with the Witcher as the reason why no Pro patch.

Hardiman2601d ago

Well I feel like an idiot as it seems the Scorpio will upscale it without an update but if they do have to patch it then my initial comment stands!

It is inevitable that some games will get patched for the new hardware. I believe Bethesda already announce patches. The difference between ps4 and ps4pro is not that dramatic as supposedly the Xbone and Scorpio will be. Maybe the power gap will give some games a second wind.

zivtheawesome2600d ago

read the article again, it says that the witcher would just stick to 1080p instead of using a dynamic scaling resolution

Like ps4 pro boost mode. Smoother framerate. That game needs that.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave44d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan44d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

shinoff218368d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name68d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno68d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno68d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure67d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
