Xbox Series X's cross-gen approach is robbing players of the next-gen thrill

I'll just say that Killzone Shadow Fall and Infamous SS wouldn't be possible on PS3 unless they made big cuts. Also Knack for all the hate and flack couldn't have the physics done on PS3.

Perhaps, I think those games COULD work better on 7th gen than you suspect.

I mean are any of those games much more impressive than Crysis 3, Battlefield 4 or GTAV? Outside of graphics, not really.

I feel like people forget how many ambitious, large scale games actually existed on 7th gen even with a fraction of spec capabilities. Even Saint's Row IV did large scale, fast paced action kinda like Infamous:SS. Just Cause 2 also deserves a mention.

Hence, I think all those games could work on 7th gen with visual cutbacks. The gameplay aspects weren't that impressive.

You may think the gameplay wasn't impressive. But Neither of these 3 games are just prettier version of their PS3 predecessors.

And if you want to go the dismissive route you can say that Halo Infinite would run on Xbox original with enough visual cutbacks.
