For nylig løftede Microsoft endegyldigt sløret for Xbox Scorpios specifikationer, og nyheden lader til at være blevet taget godt imod af interesserede fans. Det er dog ikke alle der er lige begejstrede for konsollen, og blandt dem finder vi udvikleren Ready at Dawn, der udgiver Deformers senere på måneden, og tidligere har stået bag The Order: 1886.
Ready at Dawns Matt Pettineo delte for nylig sine holdninger til Scorpio-indmaden via et indlæg på NeoGAF, og her pointerer han, at selvom der helt sikkert er flere hestekræfter at lege med, så er det for udviklerne hverken "huge" eller "amazing".
"Well let's be clear, these changes aren't in the same world as a Zen upgrade. It's nice (and in fact basically required), but not huge or amazing. Well, let's not buy into the spin so completely. But yes, the upclock and other improvements are very welcome."
Pettineo forklarer derefter, at selvom Microsofts strategi med indmaden giver fin mening, så er der ikke tale om en gigantisk opgradering:
"I'm not criticizing the CPU, it was the only logical choice for the system, and really the only option MS had was to upclock the Jag and put in some extras to help. There is nothing wrong with what they did. I just think the people acting like it's a bigger improvement than it is are kinda silly."
Er der tale om en gigantisk opgradering i Scorpio? Tager Pettineo fejl?
