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

I'm sure it will look amazing on Series X and I guess you can interpret what 343 studios said in different ways. Maybe they will make full use of the Series X hardware and we end up seeing a completely different game than the X1 version. Or... its going to be a multiplatform game that has to run on average pc specs and the X1, which makes it kinda hard to take full advantage of things like the SSD. We will have our answer in July, I guess.

Of course it can be interpreted different ways. You can read the entire quote or watch the entire interview and take everything said and look at it logically in its entirety or you can chop it up and only quote one sentence that supports your narrative and you get an entirely different interpretation. Of course, why would someone who claims to be optimistic take such an approach? Who knows.

I'm not being pessimistic, it's just common sense. Sure, a lot of things can scale on the gpu side. But ask yourself this. Did Sony's tech demo prove that the SSD isn't just in there for fun and giggles? And if so, can developers really use the ssd, the way Epic showed in that demo, when they also have to make their game run on a platform that doesn't have a SSD?
