: I doubt too much of the Scorpio's power will go to gameplay purely because
: the game will also have to be run on regular Xbox Ones. So, I think it's
: safe to say that we'll just be getting a higher resolution and framerate,
: but that doesn't mean 343i won't do some hardcore improvements to the AI
: in Halo 6. Considering we can go from Halo 3 to Halo 4 on the 360 means
: there's probably still ton of potential floating around in that Xbox One's
: big black brick.

Also, the Scorpio is just a souped-up XBO. It'll likely have the same CPU but clocked a bit faster, and the RAM has more memory bandwidth, but the biggest improvement is the GPU, which is about 4.6 times the TFLOPs of the base model. All that extra power is nominally for higher resolutions and for VR.

As far as I'm aware of, AI has little to nothing to do with GPU power. Honestly, they could already do decent AI on the 360, so it shouldn't take a beast of a box to do decent AI today. All that extra horsepower on Scorpio will likely go towards visuals. Focusing on visuals and the best-looking 1080p60 there is to make Halo 6 look like a true next-gen Halo game (as opposed to Halo 5, which usually looks more like a lazy remaster of a last-gen game) is something I would be fine with.
