They are not going to use high-end pc as the base specs and then scale down to the Xone man, they're using the Xone as the base platform and scale up for X1X, Series X and PC. Think Gears 5, which some say is one of the best multiplatform games in how it uses the strengths of all platforms. It's the same game across the board where on Xone its running at 30fps and 1080p, on the X1X you get 4k and 60fps. And on high-end pc you get basically the same version as on X1X but with higher res textures. 

It definitely looks and plays better on X1X and PC, but it's not like it's a different game with better ai, physics etc. At it's core it's designed to play exactly the same on all platforms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6v19Ffjs5U   

And yes, multiplatform games should look a bit better on Series X, but it's normal for 3rd party games to be cross-gen for 1 or 2 years. Like I said, it are the exclusives that are supposed to showcase what the new consoles can do early on. Even if they are glorified tech demos.

Nice try. The PC version blows the Xbox X version out of the water. If you think it’s just higher Rez textures I suggest you educate yourself.

This isn’t the generational leap from PS2 to Ps3. Where games like Assassins Creed, Bioshock, Mass Effect were literally impossible to make on last gen hardware. This gens launch 360 to Xbox One had a much smaller generational gap. Sure games like Ryse and Killzone Shadowfall looked impressive but there wasn’t anything truly revolutionary that wasn’t possible before. Just better graphics and resolution is how you can sum up this entire gen.  Next one is all about better lighting, textures, resolution and frame rate, with even more photo realism. The vast generational gaps are forever in the past. 

But it’s nice to know the entire argument hinges on you hoping and assuming they make games on the lowest platform and scale up when it makes much more sense to make games for the highest denomination and scale down. It’s far easier to do option 2.  

(Insert Captain America quote: I can do this all day) 

If you think there's a generational leap between the Xone and X1X version then fine. Maybe we just have different expectations. 

But how you know the generation leap will be nothing special? Having SSD as standard could be a game changer for level design, and they can do some pretty impressive things with Ray Tracing.
