Let’s get the skinny on Scorpio Ofall the E3 press conferences, Xbox’s is the biggest uncertainty. We’ve been teased with Project Scorpio for a year now, and it’s time to finally learn all the specifics about this new Xbox.

Yesterday at E3, publisher Square Enix presented a real-time tech demo of its proprietary next-gen gameplay engine, dubbed Luminous Studio. The four-minute demo, “Agni’s Philosophy,” is recognizablyFinal Fantasy-esque, by which I mean: it’s got fierce incantations, fey magic, arcane rituals, grotesque creatures, lightning, glowing crystals, and an attractive young Caucasian woman in a ridiculous outfit....

Wow. Wow. Wow. To drive home how insulting this is, I’m going to reverse the situation: You meander into Barnes and Noble, and whilst perusing the aisles you stumble upon a bright blue book titled “The Boy’s Guide To Gaming: How to Beat The Girls At Halo Every Time!” If you vomited on the floor and not on the actual book, I tip my hat to you.
