I know that the devs are important but to say cross gen does not hold back the developing is a bit wrongly. We do not only buy games from those devs that put in the extra effort but also from those with a lesser budget or a worse management so if an easier to develop for console could improve that, then it could be assumed that there will be more time being put into quality at least by some of them. You can make a good game for the NES but to go a step further you might need better hardware. |
No one is saying hardware doesn't hold games back, my entire point is a good game is a good game no matter the hardware, hence why I brought up a WiiU title. Its one of the most ambition games this generation designed on a platform with 1gig of ram. Of course the more hardware the better the results however, bad devs will still make bad games no matter how good the hardware is.
Look at this generation, last gen kill this gen when it comes to quality games and many still prefer to play last gen games because they were just built better while this gen, we have seen many games focus solely on visual quality and lack so much substance.

But i am saying exclusive on next gen hardware are far far more important then telling consumer how good the spec or technical prowess of a machine is. Consumer don't understand Teraflop, SSD speed, IO speed, polygon count etc. Hell they don't even understand 120 fps, 60 fps. Probably some exception to resolution (because general consumer has been targeted by TV marketing lately). They just need some games that prove how new hardware are good at compared to old gen. Selling next gen consoles is not just about better resolution, and high frame rates (this are mid gen refresh message for Xbox One X and PS4 pro) New generation is more the that. |
You have nothing to worry about because of a few reasons.
1) 3rd party games are still being made on the XSX and will carry the system with possibly the best versions of each game. People are not going to be caring about if a game is designed on next gen hardware when they are playing games like Cyberpunk 2077 enhanced on the XSX.
2) Big first party games are going to come out for the XSX since a lot of the big studios under MS have games planned in completion in another 2 years, we don't even know what the Initiative is making let alone a release date and there game is rumoured to be some type of AAA budget Tomb Raider style game.
3) You don't seem like you game on Xbox so this wouldn't affect you at all.
You know a couple games I cannot wait to play, EverWild and Grounded, made on this gen and I am excited to see more, I don't care if they aren't made with next gen in mind, they look like fun titles either way. And ill probably play them again when the XSX comes out and play an enhanced version of them. I honestly don't see the issue but if you don't like cross gen games than this goes back to my point No: 3. You have nothing to worry about.
