Re: Xbox One

Well, Madden has looked better on Xbox consoles since the beginning. And this year, at E3, they went out of their way to talk up Scorpio's True 4K and it's stunning effect on Madden. Combine that with the ability to program dynamic resolutions, and it has become easier to program a game to run on both the XB1 S and X without a bunch of added work.

There is no doubt in my mind that EA will produce games that Digital Foundry will rave about when comparing the XB1X version to the PS4 Pro version. Obviously, time will tell, but Microsoft and EA have been cozy for a long time. It's clear that getting EA to highlight Scorpio is part of MS's plan going forward.

Re: Xbox One

The main difference will be resolution. FPS will be the same regardless simply because both consoles are using an old and obsolete Jaguar CPU and the majority of games are CPU bound as opposed to being GPU bound.

Outside of first party games, I don't see there being much of a difference unless the game is tied to a particular console due to the marketing contract ala Destiny 2/RDR 2 with Sony and Shadow of War, ACO and Anthem with Microsoft.

Just have to wait and see. Five more months to go.

Re: Xbox One

It's not just all about pixels and FPS. Games can be exactly the same in both categories but look different due to other things. Lighting, shadows, weather effects etc.

Leftover overhead going to a RAM disk will improve load times also on every single game.

Little doubt games will run better, unless they're straight up broken.

Re: Xbox One

Well I will own Madden 18 on both the Xbox Scorpio and the PS4 Pro so I'll be able to judge for myself which, if either is better looking.

Really wish MS would have a Baseball game. As good as the Show is I'd still like options.

Re: Xbox One

I just received a call from Gamestop letting me know that that they just got word for their home office saying it won't be long now until they can start taking pre-orders. So, hopefully, the wait is almost over!

Me too, and I keep checking every morning and every morning it's not available. And I just know I'll be out and about doing stuff and get home and the internet will be abuzz with the preorders being out, I'll go to the sites and ALL SOLD OUT.

That is exactly what happened with the Nintendo Switch. I hope that does not happen with the Scorpio.

Scorpio will NOT be sold out guaranteed. First, it's five months away. Second, Microsoft will manufacturer and ship out way more than needed for pre-orders. Third, Nintendo is having trouble due to the parts that they need since Apple is also using them for their next iphone. Fourth, Scorpio is $500, not $300 like Switch. Fifth, it doesn't have a legendary franchise game being released next to it at launch.

Seriously, you'll be able to walk into stores on November 7th and pick up Scorpio off the shelf just like PS4 Pro. It's a "luxury" item just like PS4 Pro. Switch is/was a new console by Nintendo which so many wanted to get back into after the Wii U disaster and is a unique and innovative concept. Scorpio/Pro is not.

But if you're that worried and concerned though by all means, pre-order bud. I just find it funny that anyone thinks Scorpio will be sold out and are comparing it to Switch. LOL.

I hope you are right and everything you say makes sense but I am definitely not taking any chances.
