MS: 1st party Xbox games will be cross-gen for "next year, two years"

I’m saying there was a significant gap, arguably generational, between Pc and Xbox One where as you played it off as superficial enhancements. Couldn’t be more wrong about that...which directly translates to what Series X will be like compared to XB1, except with added benefits like SSD and enhanced ray tracing etc. 

SSD just means less loading times and no texture pop-in. Which I assure you Series X will have that lower end Xbox’s won’t. And I all ready mentioned Turn 10 is demoing next gen ray tracing at GDC, which I assure you won’t be in the base XB versions of Forza 8. You keep proving the pro Xbox argument. Unlike Sony Ms knows how to scale down from PC for years now. 

It’s easier to make games for Pc and scale down. It’s simply less work then making it for the lowest denomination and going up. Your whole argument is just hoping that MS is making their games backwards or target weak PC specs so you can hold on to the PS power narrative. Which is it??? Are they making the XB1 as base platform or mainstream PC specs as the base? Can’t have it both ways and you just come across as desperately trying to figure out a way that makes Xbox look bad while assuming everything in the process. 

Like I said, I think we just have different expectations. I played Gears 5 on ultra settings on pc and to me it's hard to notice the difference between the base Xone version. Besides the resolution and fps, of course, and there are some extra reflections here and there. You can expect the same thing for Halo Infinite, so if your satisfied with that, then good for you. Just don't expect better ai, physics, advanced ray tracing and bigger, more complex level design compared to the xone version. 

Ya I find that hard to believe. Given how you also said Game Pass is only full of bargain bin titles. The vid link I gave you seemed to think the PC version dwarfed the Xbox versions. We really don’t know until we see, but I’m not without evidence considering MS is a PC developer in regards to their top games and go from there. You can try to argue otherwise but that’s just you hoping Xbox looks bad. 

On the off chance you are getting off on triggering Xbox fans like myself, I rather am enjoying this debate. Compared to the 2013 reveal, which I was here on Vgchartz in the trenches, this is a cake walk if this is the best anti Xbox argument. It tells me MS is doing much better this time around :)
