[Rumour] Jeuxvideo.com : both Xbox Scarlett models will feature SSD, will be revealed at E3 2019, with Halo Infinite as launch game
- Thread starter Iceternal
- Start date
I'm happy their confident, but giving Sony a theoretical 8 month period to gauge reactions and react could make that confidence misguided. Sony could absolutely make changes to their platform in that amount of time.
If it's in campaign what's the issue? I think the campaign structure needs a shake up.
halo needed a reboot anyways. no issues with them trying to do something different to finally shakeup the series.
It is pure fantasy that any platform holder can make major changes in that timeframe, heck someone earlier quoted Mark Cerny as saying "spec lockdown" is about 2 years out usually. Please describe the types of changes that are realistic based on reacting in an 8 month period.
I see.
I mean, I could deal with a version of the consoles that doesn't have a disc drive, but at the same time it makes BC harder. I don't see, say, a "normal" model without a disc drive in it and a .5 version at the same time that does have the disc drive. The Xbox would especially make this weirder with their push for BC being such a thing.
I also wonder if either company has learned from the multiple launch SKU thing, given Sony's PS3 pricing issues to begin with and MS's Xbone launch pricing + later multiple SKU release.
ps4 ram upgrade sounded like it was a "last minute" thing they ended up being able to do as well as clock increases on the xbone. albeit these things weren't like major hardware changes and not necessarily reactions to anything.
Probably open world campaign with lite progression, I imagine something Breath of The Wild Esque.
That said, where are you reading that? I can't find it
I mean it was obvious to anyone, especially people on this forum that new consoles were coming 2019 or 2020. Fall 2020 is also a long ass time from now.
It's widely known that PS4 went from 4GB of ram to 8GB in a pretty short period due to feedback. When PS4 was announced, many devs weren't expecting the 4GB number because it's not what they had been working with.
I'm obviously not saying sweeping changes, but things like that can be altered.
My favorite game series of all time to add RPG elements? Sign me the fuck up! That is honestly the most exciting thing I've heard about Infinite
If they really want to release 2 or 3 models for next gen launch their strategy is starting to feel bipolar and desperate.
Or an alternative view would be that they are providing purchase options to the consumer. I mean are multiple models of cell phones and price points bipolar and desperate?
And Anthem feels like an 80% finished title, EA were idiots shoving it out to meet the fiscal year, had it launched in the fall things might of panned out differently
its all about the message, they dont need to change the hardware, they just need to do what they did during the launch of the ps4 and react to xbox and ninty.
Absolutely.
Microsoft revealing specs of Anaconda at E3 2019 gives Sony ample time to change things - and if not match, even exceed Anaconda's specs.
The parts will not have been ordered yet. There's plenty of time for changes between June 2019 and whenever Sony plans to reveal PS5 specs
I get what you're saying but are those markets where the Xbox continually doesn't do well in anyways?
"The parts will not have been ordered yet." That is some good stuff right there.
Not really. I look at it as giving more options to your consumers which is a great thing.
Yeah, im out on rpg elements in halo. not every game needs to be a grind for experience points to unlock your next skill.
Hahahahahahaha, no joke, that was the first thought I had when I saw this 😂
Why would people even need a new console of it was streaming only ? Couldnt the X do that already?
Maybe it will have local compatibility with some lighter games. Maybe it won't really have that ssd. maybe it's supposed to provide some kind of hardware functions that make it a good cell over just streaming on your phone. Who knows.
There are always going to be people who want their hardware local for performance. Streaming is not mainstream tech yet, plus data caps exist.
You gotta think about cost as well. You can't expect people to pay X prices just for an xcloud box. It should be much cheaper than the X.
As others have pointed out, announcing a new console this year at E3 but launching it until fall 2020 makes no sense. They either launch it this year or hold on the announcement till next year.
No way they prematurely kill Xbox One X sales at this time.

Didn't they do the same with the X? Heck, didn't they announce it as Scorpio even before that?
No offense to the high spec people ITT, but I kinda hope the specs of the base model are accurate. The lower the baseline is, the higher the likelihood of my preferred platform/form factor (Switch 2) getting native ports of third-party software.
right (ha!), forgot it was only writes, not reads.
still not a fan of a non-replaceable drive though. Microsoft needs to change that next gen.
Reminder that the X has 12 GB of ram. >16 for next gen is more than feasible.
Theres no games that use close to 16GB of Ram.
And on the Vram front 8GB is still enough for 4K gaming.
If its 16GB unified pool thats still a hell of a lot.
More like "forcing me to have a useless disc drive in the year 2020 is such shit". Wish they'd drop it for all consoles across the board
Probably why they announce this at E3 gives them a year to control messaging so even the dumbest consumer knows what each does by release.
The Xbox One was partially sunk by rumors that MS couldnt really counter until it was too late.
Seems they are leaving nothing to chance this time.
I don't know about a ludicrous amount. SSDs have come down in price a lot and it's not like MS/Sony wouldn't get discounts for buying in bulk. If MS are going to drop a premium console along with a cheaper module, that premium model really should have an SSD even if it drives up the cost to a some degree.

The One X has 12GB GDDR5 next gen is getting GDDR6 and no game uses more than 12GB of RAM so unneeded for more
Can someone tell me why is 16GB not enough? It's more than the most top of the line GPU on the market.
I don't know about desperate, but definitely bipolar. It's ridiculous to see, say, Samsung release a GS model with 2 or 3 sizes on top of multiple storage sizes. Apple just did the same thing twice. Hell, I think one of the only phones I've ever seen not do this was the Essential PH1, which just went for a single model with 128GB storage. Unfortunately we see how that went.
It's still my favorite phone ever, partly because of this.
