When Middle-earth: Shadow of War was announced a little while ago, it wasn't only confirmed for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, but also for the upcoming Microsoft console, the Scorpio. This is one of the first confirmed titles to support the new console, and according to the developer, Monolith, it's everything they'd hoped for. In a recent interview with GamesRadar, Monolith's studio head Kevin Stephens commented on the Scorpio version:

"We've found nothing false about their claims about the hardware. As far as we can tell, it will be the most powerful console ever created when it launches - unless somebody has an announcement I don't know about."

Furthermore, he also commented on the overall vision for the console:

"I can't speak for Microsoft, but from our point of view they seem very committed to, you know, if you buy an Xbox One, whether it's a One, or an S, or a Scorpio you're going to buy a game and [be able to] play it on any of them. That seems very consistent with our experience of working on those platforms."

Do you think the Scorpio can live up to expectations?
