E3 2017
 

We are just a few days away from E3! EA's press conference is tomorrow and Microsoft and Bethesda is Sunday.

They were also selling tickets to the public this year. Anyone going?

Re: E3 2017
 

Interested in the Microsoft presser. May try to watch it live if I can.

Re: E3 2017
 

I usually try and go every year but I missed the registration for people in the industry. Usually they send reminder emails, but I didn't see anything this time around.

But yeah, mostly interested in the Microsoft conference just because of Scorpio stuff.

Re: E3 2017
 

The only thing at E3 you're interested in is a more powerful version of an existing console which is going to play the same games?

Re: E3 2017
 

Considering everything else I have seen, yes, actually. The only other game that has my interest is Crackdown.

Re: E3 2017
 

Actually pretty pumped for this E3

We are deep into the life of these consoles and we got some great games coming our way

It's already been an amazing year for games

Re: E3 2017
 

Who said that was the "only" thing I was interested in? I just said that was the most interesting thing to me because the power boost is fairly significant, i'm interested in the improvements it makes to all current games, what the pricing will be, and i'm hoping it comes with other surprises from Microsoft. I also want it to be my UHD player at home, since the PS4 Pro didn't include one. To me, it's by far the most intriguing question mark for the console industry this E3 :shrug:

I obviously can't exactly get excited about anything unannounced, and all the existing rumors/leaks/speculation i've seen have been around sequels to existing franchises like Battlefront 2 or the next Assassin's Creed game or just more footage of stuff that's already been announced previously.

I don't see what's wrong with that. What are YOU interested in?

Re: E3 2017
 

I agree....while yea the spotlight might be on Destiny 2 there is a slew of solid good games coming down the pike that very well could be contenders for GOTY. I think we're going to see a lot of WOW Games this time around. I believe we might have finally hit the sweet spot of the current PS4 and XB1

Re: E3 2017
 

Sorry if that sounded more abrasive then I intended. I just found it interesting that Scorpio would be the main intriguing thing for you and you explained why with your followup post. I'm not interested in any single thing. The thing I get excited for at E3 is all the unknowns.

Re: E3 2017
 

Any coverage on Spike?

Re: E3 2017
 

Youtube always has a livestream.

Re: E3 2017
 

Yeah. There are some things I'm excited about that I know will be there (the next Wolfenstein, Super Mario Odyssey, Spider-Man, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.), but the stuff that's going to make the biggest impression are the titles I don't know anything about yet.

I'm chomping at the bit to get a look at Scorpio as well (since it'll almost certainly replace the PS4 as my console of choice for third party titles), and I'm interested to see what MS has to support it software-wise this year.

Re: E3 2017
 

No chance of a PS4 Pro price drop?

Re: E3 2017
 

Yeah, there's a chance, particularly with rumors of a low Scorpio pricepoint and the base PS4 dropping to $249. I would still be mildly surprised.

Re: E3 2017
 

I think a Pro price drop is likely, but I feel like it'll be a Fall thing rather than a Summer thing.

Re: E3 2017
 

I can't wait to see more of God of War. Hopefully we get a release date for early next year as well.

I'm going to guess that Sony drops the price of the slim down to $249 and the Pro to $349. Scorpio will probably come in at $399. I think anything more than that is going to kill them. At this point, almost 5 years into this gen, I just want to see a shit ton of games announced. Hopefully MS has a bunch of stuff to show and doesn't spend half the conference talking about a system revision with no games.

Fingers crossed for CD Project Red to show that cyberpunk game.

Re: E3 2017
 

Yeah, a $50 Pro drop wouldn't be too surprising, and I wonder if Sony will say that the $50 temp drop on the Slim is permanent.

If the Pro drops $50, I might buy it too just for the Pro enhancements to Horizon I just bought.

Re: E3 2017
 

I guess I should post rumors and news I see in this thread...

Amazon.de has a listing for Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus with a October 27th release date.

Re: E3 2017
 

Oh, some quick conference times.

Re: E3 2017
 

We should see a tease for Bioware's new IP today at EA's conference.

Re: E3 2017
 

Where's the best place to stream the EA conference? I'd like to watch using my Xbox, so maybe youtube?

Re: E3 2017
 

Re: E3 2017
 

Peggle 3 or I'm burning EA down.

Re: E3 2017
 

Drummers all wearing Brady jerseys? Lame!

Re: E3 2017
 

New Bioware game is called Anthem. Visuals look interesting, more tomorrow during Microsoft's conference.

Re: E3 2017
 

No joke if that got announced I would be ecstatic.

Re: E3 2017
 

Co-op game from the makers of the really good indie game Brothers.

Re: E3 2017
 

I loved Brothers but I have zero interest in a co-op only game.

Re: E3 2017
 

EA's event was absolutely terrible. They start talking about the Star Wars Battlefront Story Mode and then show absolutely nothing of substance about it. Did anyone else find that strange?

Re: E3 2017

Re: E3 2017
 

Not in a hurry to get it. I'll wait for a good price drop in a year or so.

Re: E3 2017
 

I'm guessing $499 for 2TB and $399 for 1TB with a staggered release, kind of like the One S.

Re: E3 2017
 

Is that his guess, or did he decide to piss off MS and leak it?

Re: E3 2017
 

I will probably be waiting as well. I don't even have a 4k TV yet. Plan is to get one next summer and I'll probably get a Scorpio as well.

Re: E3 2017
 

If it's $499, I will wait for a price drop. If it's $399, I'm in.

Re: E3 2017
 

I'm with Deftones on this. I'm not 4K yet and likely won't be until at least Black Friday.

Re: E3 2017
 

I'll be getting a 4K TV soon since my current plasma has 6 black lines on the bottom, so it's only a matter of time.

I will also need a new receiver as well for 4K and the newer audio formats.

E3 2017: Microsoft's New Console Will Be Called "Xbox Scorpio"


A Best Buy Canada newsletter includes an image (below) that appears to confirm the console name.

http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/...17/06/main.jpg

Microsoft's mid-generation Xbox One upgrade has been known by the working title "Project Scorpio" since its first tease last year.

Aside from its final name, the other major point of interest is Scorpio's price. YouTube's Geoff Keighley has now suggested that Scorpio will retail at $499:

IGN has reached out to Microsoft for comment on both points. All will be revealed in just a few hours, when Xbox Scorpio is formally unveiled at the Microsoft E3 press briefing. Already sold? Here's our Scorpio preorder guide.
