Leaks and rumors are great
But sometimes people want cold hard confirmed
Facts and that's what we're gonna go over today when it comes to the xbox two or the xbox
Scarlett, how is everybody doing chaos here, and if you want to see my PS 5 facts video
It's at the top of the description we go over everything confirmed for the PS 5 which isn't actually named the PS 5 yet
But today we're gonna give some love to the Xbox family. That's right
We're gonna kick things off with the fact that most everybody knows it is codenamed the Xbox
Scarlett now just because Microsoft didn't have a great eighth
Console generation does not mean that they aren't gonna be bringing the heat
with the next set of systems and even though we know quite a bit about the PS 5
That doesn't mean Microsoft hasn't dropped quite a bit of info about theirs as well
And right now we know that the family of systems name is project Scarlett
This will not be the launch title
A lot of people think this is going to be the name of it and it's not. Okay, so don't stress
It's pretty cool. But no it doesn't roll off the tongue as a console name that you would want at launch
So what exactly does family of systems when it comes to Microsoft mean well?
It means there are two versions. That's right the anaconda and
Lockhart now project Scarlett actually refers to two different
versions of the new Xbox console kind of like what Microsoft currently has with the Xbox one the two versions are currently referred to as
anaconda and Lockhart
which I think are some really cool code names and these probably aren't gonna be the final name is just how
Project scarlet isn't going to be the final name, but they are a good reference point a good kicking off point
It seems that Microsoft has had a good response to the one and the Xbox one x offering players
Well, they like the different options depending on what they want in the everlasting debate between price and power
So they're going to do the same thing with this new set
We'll talk more about the specific differences later in this video, but for the basic outline and for going forward in the video
Keep in mind that the Xbox Scarlet actually refers to two different consoles. Not just one it launches holiday
2020
Microsoft made their big announcement at e3
2019
They're going to be hard at work making sure that this system is ready for launch in the holiday season of
2020 now they didn't give an exact date their website specifically cites holiday 2020 is the release window
So I'm guessing probably late November early December. They're gonna want to have it out before Christmas. Obviously. It's a smart wits it's smart
Okay
They don't want to drop a new system early in the year or during the summer dead period but they still want to get all
That juicy Christmas sale, right?
my guess is it will be dropping early to mid November like the Xbox one and the ps4 - that seems to be
The prime spot window this will give people plenty of time to know about it and get their pre-orders in but we'll also be able
To get it on the shelves in time for Black Friday. So my prediction is the second or third week of November 2020
Let's come back to this video and see if I was right
It will support up to
120 FPS now this was pretty surprising, but it's definitely a good step forward
One of the biggest problems people have with the eighth console generation is the low and inconsistent frame rate
Neither consoles get higher than 60 fps
And the majority of mainstream games have a target frame of only about half of that
Meanwhile over on the PC you can get well over 100 FPS on some pretty cheap
Graphics cards so you can see why people have felt the 8th console generation was kind of behind in the tech department
According to Microsoft's announcement video during e3 this year
The new Xbox will support up to 120 frames per second and refresh rates up to 120 Hertz
Now this is a good step up from the 60 of current consoles
but it still remains to be seen just how many games will actually support such high performance and I
Personally would love to see 120 FPS on consoles
But I also think the first step should be making sure that 60fps is the standard across all triple-a games, not 30
Here's a good one for you. Halo. Infinite will be a launch title speaking of Triple A games
It is confirmed that infinite the six game in the Master. Chief storyline will be a launch title for the new system now
halo Infinite has been in development for a long long time and after the disappointing reception and performance of both Halo 5 and
4 as well as a Master Chief collection good news is coming to PC soon
343 industries really needs to bring their a-game with this when it's
That infinite will be a return to form for the series as shown by Chiefs new
Old armor as well as the return to a brighter art style as well as Phil Spencer comparing the games
Significance to that of the original Halo with the original Xbox fingers-crossed Halo fans, including myself now
It's a little unclear how this armor change actually happened in the universe, but I'm super excited to see infinite
but if you don't want to buy a new Xbox right out of the gate you're still in luck because halo Infinite will
Also be launching for the Xbox one in the PC
So I'm hoping this doesn't hold back the potential for the new game the way certain multi
Jing games got held back, but only time will tell the point is halo
Infinite is a launch title for the new Xbox and that is surely going to be a big system seller
So let's talk about the two models. Well specifically let's talk about the Anaconda. It will be the stronger of the two
That's the different variations
We've got the Xbox anaconda the Xbox
Lockhardt both of which are code names and they're not launch titles according to various reports
The anaconda will be the stronger one when looking at the confirmed specs for both systems
It seems they will both utilize a custom AMD's into eight core CPU
But the rest of the specs or where things get a little different the anaconda will utilize a custom AMD navi GPU in around twelve
Teraflops while the Lockhart will have a custom Navi GPU at only four Tara Foxx
Now the Anaconda will also come loaded with 16 gigs of GDD are 6 RAM while the Lockhart
Well, it's gonna be at 12 now the exact speeds of the GPU and the CPUs are unknown at this time
But going off of this it seems is going to be a pretty hefty difference in graphical fidelity between these two systems now
It's unknown what the price difference is going to be but I'm willing to bet the Anaconda will be at least
150 dollars more than Lockhart just by going off of the specs as always guys
we do a monthly giveaway here for a brand new Playstation 4 that will change over to
Xbox 2 and PS 5 down the road
All you have to do to enter is drop a like make sure you subscribe to the channel turn on those post
Notifications and in the comment section you let me know
why you want to win the ps4 and include your Twitter handle and I will pick a winner at the end of the month a
number for
both versions will use an SSD
The last big part of the system is the storage and according to reports
Both systems will make use of a one terabyte SSD
Now the exact speed is unknown and it's also unknown if there will be different models of the console with different storage sizes
But from everything we know so far. They're both going to be using the same SSD
So going off all that we can infer that the Anaconda law cart will be pretty similar in every aspect other
Than graphics and memory which is still going to be a significant thing to get people interested in both modes
So tell me what do you think each version is going to cost?
And which one would you go for how much of a dip in graphical fidelity are you willing to take for the same or?
For a cheaper system you guys let me know
What do you think the price point should be for the Anaconda and for the lockhardt at least one will support 8k resolution
Not that anybody can use it. But okay Microsoft has stated that the Xbox Scarlet will support resolutions of unto
8k now don't get hyped about it because it's a very vague statement
They did not make clear which system in scarlet will support 8k in this so it does it
Obviously, it doesn't mean it's both
Anaconda in the law court or just the end of Condit. That would be the the pic right also
Keep in mind
This supports 8k is very different from a Kay game play this basically means that the console will be capable of displaying images in up
to 8k resolution
But it's still going to be up to the developers whether or not they think it's worth it to
Develop games at that level now
We saw a lot of this during the 8th console generation of both Sony and Microsoft saying their system supported 4k resolution
but the list of games that actually played true 4k
well
It was a minority and it's ultimately up to the developer so we can get a decent idea of how strong the system will be
By Microsoft saying it will support 8k, but remember that doesn't necessarily mean it will have 8k game playing
Let's be real
Our landing buddy actually has an 8k TV so it's not like a Kay is going to be the main selling point
It just sounds cool
It will support ray-tracing ray-tracing is rapidly becoming the new thing for gaming
It's been on PC for a while. But allegedly the new consoles will have it as well
So when he was the first to confirm that their next line of consoles would support real-time rate racing and a little later
Microsoft followed that up with confirmation as well for those who don't know
Ray-tracing is a technique for rendering lighting and reflections to make the world look more realistic and interactive now
normally
It's used for just non interactive mediums like images and videos but over the last year, so
certain Bella purrs
And GPU companies have started making use of it in real time video games such as battlefield 5 and minecraft
It is a very cool technology and it's certainly going to play a big part in triple-a gaming for the next few years. So
both Microsoft and Sony are
Preparing for that in equipping their new consoles with GPUs powerful enough to handle such a technique
however
Once again don't get too excited about that yet because as many PC gamers will tell you the capabilities of ray-tracing are very hit-or-miss
As of right now and number one
Backwards compatibility is a priority. This is a good thing. It's been a huge part of the Xbox brand for the last few years
It's something that they've done right now the Xbox one launched with extremely limited backwards compatibility
But Microsoft gradually increased that support until we got where we are today
Where Microsoft totally embraces it and there is a massive library of both Xbox 360 and original Xbox games playable on the one
According to Microsoft backwards compatibility is still going to be top priority with the Scarlett
Although they haven't been super specific about what that means now
I don't think Microsoft wants to go backwards. So I wouldn't put it past them at all after all
This company has made some really bad decisions with new consoles over the last couple generations
So I wouldn't put all my eggs in any basket
we
We dunno I guess that all Xbox one games will be playable on the Scarlett and that the console will support
316 original which isn't exactly specific enough to assume anything else
I'm willing to bet though at launch the Scarlett will support the current library of backwards compatibility
Then it will gradually add upon that but it won't have blanket backwards compatibility for the 360 in the OG xbox
but even then that's a huge library of
Playable games on the console right at launch day and it will make it really easy for people to transition to the new console
So I'm hoping to hear more about this at e3
2020 because this is going to be one of the sellers on day 1 and there you have it
Those are 10 confirmed things about the Xbox to the Xbox. Scarlett the Anaconda Lockhart, whatever you want to call it
What do you think the actual name is going to be if you guys enjoyed drop a like make sure you subscribe to the channel
