How would MS first party still not be taking advantage of next gen hardware? We’ve already given you an example in Horizon 2 of MS supporting next gen hardware AND releasing a game on previous hardware. There are plenty of other examples too, whether you want to think they qualify or not 😆

Of course it’s all moot because as countless games have shown throughout history, developers can still make whatever game they want and then alter it to fit weaker hardware. But either way, explain how you expect MS to sell $500-600 hardware with no next gen games 😆

Why i have hunch that you cannot differentiate between a cross gen games (Halo infinite), games that made for two version (Forza Horizon 2),  and also games that ported to low end (The Witcher 3 on Switch)  

So seem does not grap what the meaning of cross gen is.

I've never once called Witcher 3 a cross gen game. If you need to make stuff up to prove a point, don't bother.

I know how cross gen games work. I also know you're applying the meaning differently game by game to suit your agenda. You have no idea if Halo Infinite is a game like Destiny for example, or if it's a game like Horizon 2. We've seen nothing of the game. You can disqualify games all you want or argue semantics, it doesn't change what I said. A developer can make a game with all the "next gen" bells and whistles they want, and also have the ability to scale it back for weaker hardware. It's only how games have been designed for decades.

You're making too big a deal out of cross gen games. Do you think Ass Creed Ragnarok coming to PS4 and Xbone will hold back next gen? Why would third party publishers ignore 150,000,000+ consoles? Who buys third party cross gen titles early in the generation expecting greatness? Sensible people understand that in the vast majority of cases it's the same game as last gen, just looks better. First party is clearly different.

Don't know what this guy means, but Witcher 3, Red Dead 2, Horizon or even Assassin's Creed are much bigger and much more detailed than Outer Worlds and are running just fine on current gen consoles. It is just a sorry excuse for the lack of time, money and talent.

It's as if there are many different studios with many different games with their own staff and budgets but he always wants to paint everything with a broad brush to suit his argument. Before this it was "RE3make runs better on PS4 Pro, so power doesn't matter" ignoring the gargantuan number of games that run better on Scorpio (and of course RE3 has already been patched for Scorpio so his entire premise was even more irrelevant).

Given the budget and studio size those other games you listed, who doubts Obsidian wouldn't have made a bigger, better optimized title lol.
