the big thing about E3 was cross play, and buy here and also play it here! shtick. people are upset about a new xbox coming out, and xbox assured us that our games will be playable on the new scorpio, OR the xbox one! yay. glitter time!!!!
what happens with every generation? none of them get cut off. the last generation still works. still gets the games. and the new generation suffers for a few years while we have to baby the last generation. finally after a few years, people seem to be done buying half-baked games on the 360 and realize they are missing a lot of content on the xbox one based games; essentially xbox 360+xbox one games became stripped once developers got their grip on the x1 hardware.
if anyone honestly thinks they are going to keep scorpio games dumbed down to play on the x1 forever, they are dreaming.
watching the after show interview with shannon, she already hinted at this. her facial expressions showed more, but unfortunately i cannot find the sit down interview with that annoying youtube dude. but all i have is a few quotes from another interview that said pretty much the same thing as this e3 interview (possibly taken from the e3 interview)
"Some developers may choose to implement the very high-end 4K--and I really hope that they do," Loftis said. "But all the games being made right now will run on Scorpio. We're promising forward and backward compatibility. It's hardware innovation without compromising compatibility.
Pressed further on whether or not there might be Scorpio-only games, Loftis said, "I don't know about that. It's up to the game development community; what do they want to do.
two points are key here. this is the good ol' "its 19.99, not TWENTY DOLLARS!!" shit. "all games being made RIGHT NOW will run on scorpio" very good wording right there. makes it sound like the old systems wont be trashed, but smarter people will see in between lines, and realize thats exactly what she's saying.
"i dont know about that. its up to the game development community. thats their choice" this pretty much puts it in the coffin. do i think a lot of x1 games will work on scorpio? hell yeah. but at some point, theres a cut off. apparently from scorpio developer cameos at E3, they are cumming in their tight urban outfitter jeans at the thought of MOAR POWA!!!! i just dont see how they are coming up with a scorpio product with 6 terafloppyflops and they will dumb it down so xbox one 1flippityflop can play it.
what are your thoughts and take on this? i know nothing about development or optimization. i could be completely wrong. it'd be great if i am. but i thought this could be an interesting discussion, and a brake from the "LOL GUYZ. I HAVE A 720P TV, SHOULD I BUY THE X1S??!" crap.
