>Xbox One games will look "identical" on Xbox One S, Microsoft has said, despite the newer console's slight boost in processing power.
>Speaking with Eurogamer today at E3, Xbox planning lead Albert Penello stated that the additional CPU and GPU access granted to developers for Xbox One S in order to enable HDR will have "literally no impact" on the performance of games.
>"When we made changes to the box for 4K we unlocked a little bit more processing power to enable HDR. That's it. It's exactly the same architecture as the existing one," Penello told me during a presentation on the new console.
>"To support HDR, we give people access to a little more CPU and GPU. That's it. It is so insignificant it is mind boggling it is being picked up."
>When asked whether there would be any performance difference, Penello was clear:
>"I promise, it won't even show up. It will have no impact on games at all. Literally no impact. They will be identical. It's nothing, it is literally nothing."
Great marketing microsoft
>>341416329
it was at one of those behind closed doors to the press things. they wouldnt dare say something like that publically on stage
>>341416092
>Xbox S: Literally nothing
Meanwhile, in reality, Sony have actually shown "literally nothing" in terms of new console.
Sonyfags in complete damage control
>"It was designed to play Xbox One games exactly the same way your existing Xbox One does," Spencer said. "The one definitive feature that's different is HDR. So, with the increased HDMI capability, it has the ability to support high dynamic range.
>"I will say - and I've been asked about this - and I'm not trying to dodge the question, you should expect it to play your games the same way an Xbox One does. We did not design this to play Xbox One games better than the original Xbox One console."
>"We've gone through - even on the existing hardware - multiple hardware iterations on the inside. There will be certain decisions that are made either for cost reasons or other supply chain reasons that can result in slightly different performance, whether it's disc drive throughput... everything's not always pegged at exactly the same number.
>"But honestly, do not buy this box if you think you're buying it to play your Xbox One games better, because it was not designed to go do that. It was designed to play your Xbox One games exactly the way your Xbox One does.
>"I don't want anybody to think this is somehow a performance boost for Xbox One games. That's why we said HDR on-screen, and that's what we want to be explicit about. Outside of that, you should expect your Xbox One games to run exactly the same."
>>341416092
>HDR
Oh boy, so after a few years break we have another decade of brown and bloom to look forward to because devs are incompetent as fuck.
>>341416649
>Sony have actually shown "literally nothing" in terms of new console.
House confirmed PS4.5 a few days back.
It is MS that's in damage control to announce "project scoprio" 1.5 years in advance and confirm it's 6 TF. Noice way to blow their load.
>>341416879
>>"But honestly, do not buy this box if you think you're buying it to play your Xbox One games better,
o-okay
>>341416649
Thank god they focus on games and not their shitty platform nobody uses
>>341416092
Xbox One S and Scorpio are 2 different things, anon
Of course the games will look identical, One S is a fucking slim model, not a completely new console
I swear Xbox is one step forward, two steps back: the company
>>341417105
Then why did they say the best pixels!?
>>341417105
Still running a 1080p TV? Then you should forget about buying Xbox Scorpio.
That’s the message from Xbox boss Phil Spencer. He was asked by Eurogamer about the thinking behind announcing the new Xbox One S only to an hour later reveal a brand new machine, Xbox Scorpio.
“You should buy [the Xbox One S], because Scorpio is not going to do anything for you,” Spencer said after asking the reviewer what TV he had – in this instance a 1080p set. “Scorpio is designed as a 4K console, and if you don't have a 4K TV, the benefit we've designed for, you're not going to see.
“Clearly, you can buy Scorpio, and if and when you decide you want to buy a 4K television to take advantage of the increased performance, obviously the console will be ready for you. For us in the industry, it's easy to think that most power is always the thing that wins. If you look at last gen, what won? The Wii won. The Wii sold more than we did on Xbox 360 and the PS3, and it wasn't the most powerful console out there. Price is critically important. Wii was a good price and it had a great experience.
“Scorpio is for the person who's got a 4K television, who's really focused on 4K gaming. It's going to be a premium price over what we're selling this one for, and both of them will exist in the market at the same time. Scorpio is for your 4K gamer. And that's what we designed it for.”
It was speculated yesterday that while it seems Xbox Scorpio will have a quite significant power advantage over PS4 Neo, that advantage will come at a cost – that literally being the cost, which could be some $100 more than Sony’s new machine.

>Xbox One games will look "identical" on Xbox One S, Microsoft has said, despite the newer console's slight boost in processing power.
But that's fucking obvious, games can't just improve themselves out of thin air. Is /v/ just trying to trigger itself again based on nothing?
All good, Scorpio is made for this.
>>341416092
>xbox one slim
>still bigger than og ps4
>>341417172
They said that about Scorpio. Are you dense?
>>341417186
I would laugh my ass off if they would only use it to run 4k with no visual improvements whatsoever
>>341417193
>>341417105
It's a damage control thread, Sonyggers will do anything to protect the Sony brand
HDR just means shit for HDR TVs, right? Like extended color gamut and higher contrast, right?
I only learned what an HDR TV was on Sunday.
>>341416879
Based phil, being honest. Unlike that bullshit artist Kutaragi and his little bitch House.
>>341417297
Negro I have a source right here with Phil Spencer saying the Scorpio is pointless if you don't own a 4k tv
>>341417186
>>341416649
Yeah it's a good thing they actually showed games. Anyone buying a new console coming out is a moron.

terrorist or shill . which one are you?
>>341417603

nice logical fallacy. Anyway, xcuck, it's time for you to buy a ps4 or migrate to PC because your existence is pointless

wait I thought S stands for Scorpio

This is some weapons grade autism right here
>>341417931
kek
>>341417931
the xbox is has no reason for being so it's only reasonable. Take a reality check, xcuck, or keep on spamming on /v/ how curry$soft won E3 by killing their console
>>341417193
Buy 'New' Nintendo 3DS
Games look better and run faster on it
Buy 'New' PSVita
Games look better and run faster on it
Buy 'New' PS4 Neo
Games look better and run faster on it
Buy 'New' Xbox One
Games look exactly the same and run exactly the same
???
Do people seriously think the Xbone S is supposed to be a significant upgrade?
It's a cheaper and smaller Xbone
Do people not remember the Xbox 360 S?
>>341418320
Who's spamming? You are the one saying "d-defending Sony? N-not me, no sir!" then immediately shilling for them and commanding others to buy a ps4.
Owned bitch.
>Games still aren't in 1080p.
>Console faggots actually think they'll have 4k.
>>341418534
M-m-m-m-monster kill. Literally anally annihilated the fag at >>341418320
>People think they'll be able to run Xbox One games at 4K
>Don't realize the games will run at whatever sub 1080p resolution the games originally ran at, just upscaled
Whoooo boy it's gonna be a few more years of this kind of bullshit, isn't it
>MFW Xbox One S and PS4 NEO
EARLY ADOPTERS BTFO
>>341418534
You're rushing out to defend your pajeets when you get btfo by facts, and the fact is that the bone S is useless, and so is the xbone line in general after this E3. Yet you keep on claiming they won.
have fun with your dissonance, xcuck fanboy
>Xbox One
>Xbox One S
>Xbox One Scorpio
Whoever is in charge of naming this shit should be fired.
>>341419175
Who claimed they won? Who are you quoting exactly? I've never quite seen autism this bad.
I don't get all the confusion
Xbone S is literally the same thing as the PS2 and PS3 slim
>>341419449
Pretty sure it's Xbox One S and Xbox Scorpio, though announcing 2 different systems starting with S is a stupid move indeed
>>341417858
No it's the (S)lim Model, Scorpio is next year.
>>341416329
Yeah seriously, they're doing the same shit again.
>Let's make this unique selling point for our new console
>And then throw that shit out the window and literally tell our customers not to buy it
>>341416092
>But I'll say, having an Xbox One at $299 is going to be really important for us. It's the only $299 console on the market right now, and it supports 4K video with the S, that's going to be a really good selling feature for us, and we've got our biggest lineup of games coming this year in 2016.
>>341417105
Sonyggers still thinks that Xbox One Slim is a brand new console
>>341416092
It's a smaller version of the Xbox One.
Not sure what people were expecting.
>>341419847
>Sonyggers still thinks that Xbox One Slim is a brand new console
Unfortunately it's just the same one
I don't understand. What does the HDR Xbox games do then?
I thought it bumped up the resolution?
>>341418828
>mfw waitfag
Getting the fucking Neo and upgrading my Pc.
>>341419956
Cheaper than a PS4, plays blu ray 4K, netflix 4K and comes with a redesigned controller
<|:-)
>>341420030
The way I understand it the colors look better and more vibrant
>>341420030
it automatically turns your gamma down and your colour up
>>341420164
But the Xbone already displays better colors than my PS4. Like it's jarring everytime I turn it on.Which ends up being twice a year lately only to check if anymore 360 games I own have been added
>>341420079
The controller requires AA batteries or a seperate battery pack $$$
>>341420363
>AA batteries
they last 30 hours and are not 900 chinese lithium Sony batteries
WIN AGAIN
>>341420363
FUUUUUCK!!! I READ IT IN HIS VOICE!
>>341420285
Either way most people dont have HDR tvs it's about as common as 4k tvs
So if you're not gonna do 4k gaming then there's no reason to get a scorpio?
Cause there's a pretty good deal going on for regular xbones, 3 games, extra controller, and 1tb hdd for like 300
>>341420363
I never got this separate battery meme. Kinda pisses me off how my PS4 batteries die in like 5 hours unless I tether myself, when my Xbone controller lasts for weeks on 2 Energizer batteries.
I'm pretty happy the new controller has bluetooth though. It means I can connect wirelessly to my PC without a stupid dongle.
>>341420794
its not just 4k gaming. i'm considering getting one just to play with VR and oculus rift but i only have a 1080p tv. i don't want to build some £1000 vr capable pc when i can just plug in my xbox and play for nearly half the price.
>>341421008
A lot of people would like the Xbone controller to come with an internal battery charger.
Where it gets dumb is when they blame the battery type itself for the lack of internal charging. My mouse charges NiMH AAs just fine when I plug it in. MS could have made the Xbone controller work like that.
>>341421138
half of that for a ps4 :^)
>>341421008
like the ps4
>>341418345
>>341416092
>literally no impact
And literally no sales.

>OG XBONE
>720-900p on 1080p screen
>Xbone Scorpio
>1080p+ on 1080p screen is not going to do anything for you
ALRIGHTY THEN
>>341423745
the games on the xcorp will be identical to the ones on the xbone
>>341419847
Damn look at all those great PC games.
>>341416092
>6 TERAFLOPS

wtf is going on?
