Outer World game design are held back by PS4 and Xbox One , another prove that Next gen will be held back by current gen if games are made for cross gen

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.

Yes developer can make games with all of next gen  whistles and bells , but then again this will not happen if the games are made by using Xbox One as base and then at the same time ported to Xbox Series X, the game design will be limited to what the Xbox One can cop and able to do. Porting the games to Xbox series will not suddenly make the games next gen, it will just like Xbox One X running Xbox One games.

An also stop mentioning Horizon 2 . the games are made for current gen but it got ported to old gen  . This is different from Halo Infinite where the games are made for current gen and enhanced for better hardware (like Xbox One X) , the games will not shows anything new from Xbox Series X capabilities except Resolution and Frame rates.   

Stop mentioning Horizon 2, a Microsoft game delivered early this gen when they were still supporting last gen, so you can continue to spout nonsense about games you know nothing about. No thanks. Horizon 2 is more closely related to your argument than Halo Infinite and yet you keep bringing Halo up. I could also throw in Flight Sim, it’s being made with powerful PCs in mind and they’ve already said the Xbone version will be scaled back. You assume MS designs cross gen games in a manner that supports your narrative but in reality they’ve shown not to.

Again, you have no idea about Halo because we haven’t seen it. You have no idea how the next Forza Motorsports game is being made because we haven’t seen it. You’re assuming MS will develop games in the same way as multi platform third party devs would when in reality MS will have a new console they’ll be trying to get people to spend hundreds of dollars on and you’re telling us they’re going to try to do this with upscaled Xbone games 😆😆
