I suppose you can chalk it up to just being a rumor, but it was put forth by someone who has contacts in the gaming industry. And yea, there will be cross-gen games. And they are the ones that don't look all that impressive when compared to games made with the new HW exclusively in mind. You will be getting very similar geometry, the game running at a higher resolution/framerate, with maybe a few bells and whistles thrown in. It will not be a night and day difference. |
The most impressive launch game this gen was Ryse and gameplay/design was it was all possible on last gen hardware. In fact it originated as a Kinect title. There was nothing particularly special about Killzone 7 or Knack. DR3 had an impressive number of zombies on screen considering the scope of the game and the detail but it was nothing jaw dropping. I don’t remember Forza 5 being anything more than a prettier Forza.
It takes a year or two for truly impressive stuff to start to show and hey in a year after launch this supposed ban on XSX exclusives will be lifted so, yay? Also I’m not sure why this is news, MS has been saying this for awhile.
PS5 and XSX launch will be full of prettier versions of the same stuff we can play right now, even the exclusive stuff. Same as almost every gen. In fact, when was the last time something truly mind blowing launched with a console? Halo? Geometry and design wise it blew the previous gen away and then it also had incredible AI.
