>Xbox One games will look "identical" on Xbox One Scorpio, 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 Scorpio 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!"
>Eurogamer was told the same thing today by Xbox boss Phil Spencer, speaking with Wes.
>"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."
>Spencer did not count out some minor differences, which happen when things change with console innards.
>"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!"
>Linking crapgamer Dude, I like Xbox, but Crap is a piece of shit. He wishes violence on Sony and Nintendo fans. I don't know if you remember that video where a guy gets a PS4 for Christmas, he's excited, then suddenly his cat attacks him. Crap said he's glad the guy got hurt. How can you support that?

>madden kek
do amerifats buy madden the way eurocucks buy fifa?
Angel Martin
Ps4 pro was for higher res gaming and that's what they pushed, ps4 and pro had hdr enabled during last e3
Scorpio looks to be just an hdr machine lol
Brayden Ortiz
Yes. Fifa will also run better.
Isaiah Reyes
Wasn't he in a podcast where people were angry that scalebound was cancelled while all crap did was try to damage control for phil
Ethan Cook
If that's true what's the point? 4K? Do enough people even have 4K TVs for this to be a viable product? As I understand it the PS Pro was kind of a bust so if MS is doing the exact same thing what's the point? Are they at least going for VR or something like that?
Sebastian Cruz
I'm not sure. I can't stand Crap so I try not to pay attention to him
Tyler Wilson
wut?
i thought it was 4k 60fps
Blake Thompson
That bait tho
Elijah Gutierrez
4k couldnt be the point if that was true because that would mean the image quality is four fucking times higher and he said theres no difference
Zachary Martinez
I can see why, the only reason I know about that podcast was because I found his podcast group when I was looking up videos about scalebound. You could feel how the other guys just wanted him to shut the fuck up.
Colton Sullivan
I don't think anyone in the Xbox community aside from pure fanboys likes Crapgamer. Even Phil Spencer has basically told him to fuck off.
Daniel Parker
>4k will look identical to 900p or even 768p
Nice shitpost
Ian Wright
not really. my friends play nhl, im guessing that and soccer make for a better game than madden
