This news about the next generation hosts Xbox old players do not look

Tencent Digital (Compiler: Bear) Microsoft did not have much time to launch an upgraded version of Xbox One S, but to be honest most of the expectations of Microsoft are concentrated on the new Xbox Scorpio host that will be released next year. This "Scorpio" was revealed for the first time at this year's E3 game show, and will have a more powerful hardware and software system, and be able to provide "seamless" connection with Windows, it can be said that Microsoft's new beginning in the game market.

On the other hand, although the Xbox One S is smaller, hardware upgrades, and support for HDR games and can also be used as a 4K player, if you are not too concerned about the Xbox One S, then take a look at the current Microsoft Xbox Scorpio next year. So far, what news is there?

release time

At present, Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox Scorpio will be unveiled on the holiday in 2017, that is, before the end of the year, so there is still about 1 year away from now, but due to the interval is too long, the middle of this time can be variable, Xbox Scorpio Whether it will debut on time, is not yet certain.

Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox at Microsoft, has recently confirmed through his own Twitter that Xbox Scorpio's hardware and software have begun to enter production and development, so although there is still a full year, such news will still make players feel Excited.

Next Generation Host Terminator?

In an interview with Engadget, when asked if Xbox Scorpio was the last generation Xbox, his answer was surprising. "For us, there will be no game console replacement in the future. We think it's important to be able to build a content library, a community, and they can also be updated with the hardware. We took a big stake in the Scorpio program. Say this: This is not a new generation, everything will move forward. We view these as a family of equipment. And if Scorpio is successful, it will completely change the way we think about gaming machines."

Support virtual reality

In fact, although virtual reality has become a trend, Phil Spencer, the head of the Xbox, didn't have much enthusiasm for virtual reality. Although Microsoft is also involved in the field of virtual reality, it chose to collaborate with Oculus VR and Valve to bring virtual reality to Xbox One and Windows 10 instead of developing a device of its own. In addition, although there is HoloLens, the latter focuses on another kind of augmented reality technology, and there is an essential difference from virtual reality.

Although there is news that Xbox Scorpio will fully support VR games, through Microsoft's VR devices or use other OEM compatible devices. But when asked about VR, Phil Spencer only said "I don't know". He mentioned that he currently owns Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, and he also wants to try Sony PlayStation VR, but the experience is not yet complete.

"I don't think that innovators have found all of the game space, and they haven't been perfect in building VR games. Of course, it's still in its infancy, or that there isn't really a technician who can really handle this medium of VR games. I think It takes one to two years to see VR games become mainstream, said Phil Spencer.

"VR will stand out in the game space, which is beyond doubt. This is one of the reasons we started the Xbox Scorpio project, but we need to allow enough time for real VR games. I don't know whether Xbox Scorpio will be released next year or afterwards." Years, depending on when VR content can develop to a relatively mature state."

In addition, he mentioned that the current problem with VR is that users may not like to wear a corded device around their heads. "For a very long time to come, we need to solve the wireless problem. This means that we can find a wireless HDMI solution, or let the device itself have the processing power. And there is a user needs a transition scene capabilities The equipment means that it can create a sense of total immersion, forget about me in a virtual world, and can also wear it to handle the work in the real world. This is actually a concept of MR."

Exclusive game

Initially, Microsoft stated that Xbox Scorpio will not have a complete exclusive platform game. Although Shannon Loftis, once Microsoft's first-party game publisher responsible for Xbox, once stated whether to launch Xbox One Scorpio exclusive game full-view game developers' own wishes, what they want to develop, and what they do not want to develop, are free to decide.

But in the end, Aaron Greenberg, Xbox's marketing director, said via Twitter that Xbox Scorpio will not have an exclusive game. Microsoft will not publish any exclusive games on Xbox Scorpio except VR works. It should be noted that this monopoly corresponds to the Xbox One and the Xbox One S, rather than the monopoly of the traditional platform.

"We don't plan to release any host-only games on the Xbox Scorpio. This is an entire ecosystem. Whether you have an Xbox One S or an Xbox Scorpio, we don't want to drop anyone. Now it's higher performance and compatibility. With sex, we can have a higher degree of VR work. This is the new element that will appear on the Xbox Scorpio."

At the same time, Dave McCarthy, head of Microsoft's Xbox operations department, also said that Xbox One (including Xbox One S), Project Scorpio, and Windows 10 will eventually achieve seamless connectivity. "We really hope to introduce a seamless experience in these device ecosystems, including Windows 10 as much as possible. And we are constantly learning and improving in this area." It is understood that Xbox Scorpio will be able to Running games from Xbox One, Windows 10 will also be able to run some Xbox games through Play Anywhere. Players can even play PCs and Xbox games through a unified game store.

From a comprehensive perspective, it seems that Xbox Scorpio will be shortened by Microsoft in the hardware upgrade cycle, just like the current PC. This will get rid of the situation where the previous generations of game consoles will gradually be obsolete after a few years.

performance

According to Microsoft, the Xbox Scorpio host will have an 8-core CPU with 6 trillion floating-point operations per second. The floating-point performance is 4.6 times that of the Xbox One and 3.26 times that of the Sony PS4. With over 320GB per second memory bandwidth speed, it is compatible with Xbox One and Xbox One S game content and accessories. Also has a more powerful GPU, support for real 4K games, high-quality VR games.

In short, the Xbox Scorpio's graphics performance is roughly equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070's computing capabilities. By 2017, Xbox Scorpio will still be the mainstream game PC configuration level, able to cope with most of the game. demand.

Phil Spencer's positioning of the Xbox Scorpio obviously also focused on 4K and VR, and emphasized the support of 60fps/4K picture, which will be the biggest highlight of the Xbox Scorpio. "I was asked by many people that if you only have a 720p TV and you don't have a 4K TV, you shouldn't buy Project Scorpio. It's clear that Project Scorpio will run a 6 TFLOPS version of the game, and even if such a game is downsampled, it looks like It will be very different.” However, Spencer still emphasizes that only a 4K TV can get a complete Project Scorpio experience, and using a lower resolution display device would be more wasteful.

Phil Spencer said that Microsoft did not launch a new Project Scorpio Scorpio host at the same time as Sony, because it did not want to trigger a new round of console wars at the end of the year. Microsoft boldly judged that the PS4 Pro is not really a host for the 4K gaming era. The effect is still on the improvement of games in this era, so Microsoft does not want to participate in the competition, and the hardware performance of Project Scorpio's 6 trillion floating point operations per second will bring about the quality of the game, rather than a slight increase. .

Regardless of the improvement effect, PS4 Pro’s leading launch will inevitably occupy the market first. This is also a disadvantage and behind Microsoft. Because for Xbox, its immediate goal is not to increase hardware sales and acquire more users, but to pass Project Scorpio hosts and spends time studying the market and technology needs of the 4K era, creating a mature hardware and software system to adapt to the real 4K games, digging deeper into each part of the new hardware to study carefully, and hope to show the most for the players. Perfect 4K game.

What to do with Xbox One

As for the old Xbox One player, Microsoft said that it will not give up, and will strive to integrate Xbox One users and future Xbox Scorpio users into the same gaming community.

In addition, Xbox One and Xbox One S accessories will continue to be available on the Xbox Scorpio, but it is unclear whether Microsoft will launch exclusive platform accessories for the Xbox Scorpio in the future. Based on Microsoft's current ecosystem positioning of Xbox and Windows 10, it is likely to adopt a coverage strategy for different user groups with different price points.

Price

So far, there is no news about the price of Xbox Scorpio consoles, but considering that the current game console market is fierce, and most manufacturers do not rely on hardware for profit strategy, basically the price of Xbox Scorpio will be 600 US dollars next year. (About RMB 4050). Although Phil Spencer said that Xbox Scorpio will have "surprising progress", the price will not be too exaggerated.

How Sony Responds to Xbox Scorpio

Microsoft has such daring plans and goals for its own Xbox Scorpio consoles. How Sony, as the number one competitor, faces the competition of Microsoft naturally attracts people's attention. But now, the strategy adopted by Sony is obviously not the same as Microsoft. In the previous conference, Sony released two new models of the PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro. The former is only a volume optimization, while the PS4 Pro is an upgraded version of the PS4, which has improved performance over the current generation of hosts.

Just like Mark Cerny, the chief designer of the Sony PS4, said: "The PS4 Pro is not a new generation. It's not about blurring the line between generations of gaming machines. This is important because it will Is the key to game developers developing games."

“Every generation has started, game developers have to do a lot of work, they need to adjust themselves to adapt to new tools and technologies. Although this allows them to create a completely new type of game, but the corresponding, the cost is very The goal of Sony is to bring the game experience of the PS4 to a higher level, but at the same time it will not have the troubles and problems that the new generation console will bring."

At present, by 2017, Microsoft Xbox Scorpio will be the most powerful game console available on the market. It will be much better than the PS4 Pro. At that time, whether Sony will launch a third upgraded version of the PS4 or PS5 as a response, we still have Not sure, but all this will look very interesting.
