Interesting...he wasnt a fan before. I wonder what made him change his mind??

Gazondaily2542d ago

Interesting comments there lol. Now he has so much praise for the Scorpio all of a sudden.

I wonder if all the people commenting in the article being so dismissive about it have also changed their tune? 🤣🤔

gangsta_red2542d ago

And he says not to rule out an xbox version of Lawbreakers...im guessing some type of pub fund was involved and there is an automatic 6 month exclusive deal that sony enforces on devs titles.

Kribwalker2542d ago

I agree, it definitely sounds like a money hat times exclusive

christocolus2542d ago

Some of the comments in that article are pretty hilarious. Anyways it's good to know Cliffy finds it promising now.

think its lawbreakers console release, since he'll be doing scorpio release too after ps4.

raWfodog2542d ago

Never been dismissive of it but I've never been excited for it either, not just for a console. I've said it once and I'll say it again, I've never been a fan of any particular console. It's the games that I get hyped about and I hope MS can show off some really good games coming out soon. Since I don't have a 4K display and have no plans on getting one anytime soon, prettier graphics don't interest me in the slightest. That's why I'm still on my PS4 and have no plans to get the Pro.

IamTylerDurden12542d ago

@kribwalker

Yea, just like Inside..except i think Lawbreakers will be exclusive for more than a month.

mikeslemonade2541d ago (Edited 2541d ago )

No reason to own Scorpio. I have ps pro and pc. So that basically narrows down to red Dead 2 which is delayed, madden, NBA 2k, and UFC 3. Sports games I only play online and they probably gonna be a victim of parity in that regard.

Red Dead 2 is delayed so I can just wait a few months when PS5 comes out and they will port a better version of Red Dead 2 to PS5.

lol, I wonder why ol' Foxtrot didn't comment first that he disagrees with Cliffy NOW......pffft.

- Now that Cliffy has gotten Sony's money he seems to be gettin' ready for the inevitable Scorpio release. I get it, its just business.

LOL @ Majin and Overload in that comment section.

Cliffy must have been turned into a believer after actually seeing now.

And he has a point, MS bet on Kinect way too hard and it bit them in the butt. Cliff took a "wait and see" approach and apparently likes what he sees.

freshslicepizza2542d ago

Probably that and also I think he commneted before the Pro was announced. Now he has had more time to reflect and has gotten more information from Microsoft what Scorpio is.

IamTylerDurden12542d ago

Perhaps Clifford B. Is putting on his business hat and realizing that Lawbreakers could actually release on Scorpio one day and insulting the console your going to release on isn't a good look.

gangsta_red2542d ago

I think he may have jumped the gun like so many of us do and bashed on something a little to quick before actually waiting to see what it was all about.

LexHazard792542d ago

Most Xbox gamers probably don't care about Lawbreakers.

Krysis2542d ago (Edited 2542d ago )

@lex what makes you think that?
Overwatch and Smite are some of the most played games on Xbox so free to play mobas and hero shooters are popular but Cliff B has a long history insulting Xbox and it's fans so I doubt he will be well received with the hardcore audience. The game should be solid though he's never been one to release crap

Bigpappy2542d ago

Power does miraculous things to people

JasonKCK2542d ago

He wants his game on Xbox. I would bet he wants to smooth things over with the Xbox and the fans he's been insulting the past few years.

Too late.

IamTylerDurden12542d ago

Basically what i said above.

Krysis2542d ago

Yeah I won't give that two face dirtbag a dime.

Death2541d ago

Cliff is Cliff. He's never been afraid to speak his mind. Props to him for that. I would rather someone say what they feel instead of sayIng what they think I want to hear. I appreciate the honesty even if I don't always agree with what is said.

Inzo2541d ago

Nothing, all he said was that the Scorpio looked promising and that MS is getting their sh!t together, it doesnt mean that he is a fan. I swear, Xbox fanboys read only what they want to read.

gangsta_red2541d ago

How come sony fanboys never follow context as well as reading comprehension...i'll let you figure out the rest inzo.

*pssssst, lets see if he can understand kids....

Death2541d ago

It's almost like all people read and hear what they want instead of what is there...

Scorpio is Microsofts final attempt

Funny but I did hear that alot in the 360 days, 'meh just fanboys wishing.

Is it or is it just wishful thinking from some people who never have anything good to say about xbox

LexHazard792542d ago

Final attempt at what exactly?

IamTylerDurden12542d ago

At staying in the console biz? Defeating Sony? Taking the market share? Idk if ppl realize just how insignificant the xbox division is to MS. Gaming is a side note to them and once it starts to falter and become more trouble than it's worth they will sell it.

Death2541d ago

@Tyler,

Not to worry you, but PlayStation is the only thing Sony has going for them. Not only is their success with PlayStation more important than you, it also makes them ripe for a takeover. For Microsoft, Xbox is about having a more diverse portfolio. The division is profitable and successful for what they want it to do. "Winning" by selling the most is a goal set by fans and hardly grounded in reality.

krypt19832541d ago

phil already stated they are working on scropios successor so when ps5 whips in 2020 xb2 will be out 2021 and have a hugh power advantage again..

mkis0072541d ago

Xbox cant launch a completely new gen after PlayStation...I doubt they would do that after what happened with this gens simultaneous launch and playstation 2 gens year late launch. They either launch same time or early. If they have a 100% power gap then maybe that could work for them, but then the price becomes a worry.

Death2541d ago

Xbox can launch their mid gen console a year later, why can't they do it again? I think the point many of you are missing is the traditional generation is over. Microsoft can release another mid gen console in 3 or 4 years. The goal is to keep them backwards and forwards compatible like PC has been for decades. Software doesn't have to die every generation.

We believe.

Praise be to Scorpio.

IamTylerDurden12542d ago

The Scorpio hype by fans is nauseating. I hope you are joking.

King Nezz2542d ago

Oh this idiot needs to shut up. First he says cross-play is dumb (which is stupid for him to say), and Microsoft is getting their "shit" together. What makes him an expert on cross-play and Microsoft's business moves?

slate912542d ago

Im pretty sure being a seasoned developer with many years in the gaming industry, and working closely with MS at one point, would make him an expert in both of those things xD

King Nezz2542d ago

Software and hardware are two big differences. And yes, he had a close relationship with Microsoft years ago. But the scorpio and its workings were not being worked on when he and Microsoft were working together.

GameBoyColor2542d ago

well he did make one of xbox's go to franchises...

ILostMyMind2542d ago

"Promising" is all that MS has done in this generation.

I mean, they should get flack. They stole designs and art, as well as used AI. They also did the same thing when it came to their other game which was a ripoff of Hollow Knight
