    9pm GMT sucks! Wife won't be interested in that and I will be gone home from work well before then.

    Will still probably stream of sneakily. Looking forward to seeing the new hardware and getting my hands on it.

    I cried reading your post.

    I am pretty sure my testosterone dropped a few points too. Thanks :p

    E3 Hype Montage (Fan Made)



    Just 10 days to go! :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,798 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    My guess is November 17th release date. 2nd last Friday of the month same as XB1. Also Battlefront 2's release date.

    A video detailing the Dev kit for Project Scorpio. I kinda like how open they are about this console, makes a nice change from the usual.

    I think to show its part of the same gen it will be called Xbox One _______.

    Your first suggestion might be correct. Xbox One X.

    Xbox 2.

    Guaranteed to confuse people.

    I am actually thinking late September.

    A lot of things have pointed to Scorpio being ahead of schedule.




  • All well and good with the Scorpio reveal.
    My concern is games and always has been for Xbox. Hoping they have a trick up there sleeve.
    Sony are ahead in my eyes as to the amount of top end exclusives they have to show seems to be substantial. TLOU2 alone is a killer app (hoping to see more of it)

    Have to agree. Very disappointed overall with the quality of games this console generation so far.

    I see the PS4 has a great console for single player exclusives.

    For me the sweet spot is Scorpio with Xbox live/Games with Gold and a PS4 Slim with no PSN +.

    It's crazy that as little as 7% of the Xbox & PS4 playerbase actually buy exclusives. That points to a big opportunity for Scorpio.

    Dunno about being ahead of schedule. Didn't they already say holidays 2017?

    It is "ahead of schedule", but not so much as to change any release date meaningfully. What I gather is that it was easier for them to get to near final status than they expected, but that they still have their same plan in place for launch.

    I'm still on the fence whether or not I buy the scorpio. I own a decent PC as is so I am not really pushed for better graphics.

    The more I think about it the more I reckon they are going to go with xbox 10 as the name of scorpio to tie in with the windows 10 family that they keep pushing of late. Maybe even Xbox 10S

    i doubt that its the software that's based on windows 10 not the hardware


  • Registered Users Posts: 301 ✭✭pcadhain


    Earlier today, people were finding hints hidden in the latest teasers. Theres a line of text in there that could also mean the console releases October 13th 2017: X10S101317. Windows 10S was just unveiled a month ago and I posted here a few weeks ago an Xbox 10 is future-proofing against the inevitable PS5. Would be a shame to waste the Scorpio name. And to release it 10 days before the Zodiac sign starts. Astrologers will be up in arms.

    It will likely be Xbox One <something> because they still have to show that it is part of the Xbox one family (a phrase they used multiple times through the year). It will have similar branding, but a bit more 'premium' feel to it.

    Only a few days until we find out...

    To be fair though, the SS were very efficient at what they did so that could only bode well for the Xbox... right?...

    Any time anyone mentions WW2 nowadays, all I can think of is this:



    I've no interest in the new COD because that's what I'd be thinking of while playing it.

    Good news. Devs now have 9GB to work with instead of 8GB.
