The Sting of the Scorpio: Cautious Optimism
(N4G Xbox)

Today marks the unveiling of detailed technical specs for the upcoming Xbox Scorpio console, and for the 4th time in Xbox history, the future is here. Although the reports have shed some light on what we can expect, I found myself with new questions: Will Scorpio be able to provide reliable compatibility to the existing Xbox One catalog? Will those 4 extra GB of RAM make any difference to game developers? What exactly does no more screen tearing mean for titles which traditionally enabled frame buffers by default? So without further mulling, lets get right to the heat of the meat and explore some of the benefits that well see with this new console. And in the interest of full transparency, Im a PC gamer so I have no dog in this fight, but I have to admit theres a lot to like here.
