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

I'm not just making a blanket statement, I'm looking at individual games.

We were looking at titles like Ryse, Killzone:SF and Infamous:SS in particular. The goalpost seems to be moving to all games could work on 7th gen.

Anyway, I think we agree some constraints are just due to typical game design. When developers get better specs to work with, much of it often just goes to better presentation. I mean the UE5 wasn't boasting about a new gameplay experiences per se, it was showing us how dank rocks look with advanced lighting effects.

You were expecting new gameplay experiences from an engine tech demo? 

I think he means that you have spent months claiming that what you want from next gen is new gameplay that was not possible on previous gens, and yet the only video that got you hyped and made you say "Oh! now this is next gen!" was a video of a girl climbing some rocks and then jumping like the girl from Gravity Rush on PS Vita.
