Xbox Scorpio Revealed: Console Feature Full-Blown Next-Gen System

By

Recently, a PDF file was leaked showing something called Xbox Scorpio. No one really knew what exactly it was, but they knew what it could do. It was a terrifying piece of technology; A GPU that was meant just for 4k gaming. It was meant to be stronger than the current Xbox One, 4.5 times stronger in fact. It was spoken of in hushed tones, and only those that were really working on it were allowed to discuss it with others that worked on it. When the PDF file was leaked, the news had gotten out, and in order to find a way to remedy this from getting any more out of hand, an Xbox developer made a choice. He decided to come out into the open and tell the public what he believed it really was, and it what it was will surely make waves in the gaming community.

With all the hype going on right now in the gaming community regarding the Nintendo Switch and Sony opening up beta testers, one could only expect that Microsoft would a trick up their own speed. As gaming and technology collide to produce new ways of entertainment, Microsoft's Xbox developer decided to raise the stakes by putting forth some information about what the Xbox Scorpio really is. According to Geek.com, Thomas Mahler, creator of Ori and the Blind Forest, said, "Scorpio isn't just a half-assed upgrade (which the PS4 Pro kinda is...), but a full-blown next-gen machine that's just backwards-compatible to your current library."

These are pretty big words coming from one of the Xbox developers. Not only did he place his standpoint with how he feels against the PS4 Pro, but he stands strong by his statement of it being a true next-gen machine with backwards compatability, something the Xbox team prides itself over. Then again, Forbes does indeed pose a valid question: What counts as a next-gen system? It is true that we have the best graphics to date for now, but can the Xbox Scorpio really prove to have what it takes to be the next-gen system because of its desire to focus on 4k gaming? While none are really sure what is entailed in being a next-gen system in this era of gaming, Microsoft has made it adamant that they will indeed be moving forward to 4k gaming.
