Phil Spencer Says Xbox Series X Games Aren't Being Held Back By Xbox One

Define identical. You can have the core game sure but Series X can still offer ray tracing, no pop in, draw distances, better AI, texture improvements, etc. While the base game is identical it’s the things working in the background that can make the Series X version so much more.

Who says Xbox One has to hit 1080p? Halo 5 was dynamic so it dipped when action went up. 

Also comparing a launch title to Horizon 2 which is a year 2 game isn’t exactly fair. Why don’t you compare Halo Infinite to Spiderman MM????? Both launch games. My guess is that you know that game is cross gen caliber, as in assets that are shared with PS4 base game. They give it the similar next gen improvements as say Halo. The sheer irony and double standards on you. So long as Spiderman MM exists, Sony ain’t no better then Ms. In fact I argue they are worse by limiting the PS4 version to artificially drum up next gen demand. 

If any console can hit benchmarks while still looking next gen it’s Xbox. Sorry but people consider 4K/60fps part of what makes the generational leap. If Gears 5 and Forza 7 hit 4K/60 then I have no doubts Xbox gamers won’t have to settle for less. 

Identical in the sense how ultra settings on pc are identical to the base console versions. It's not like we don't know what that means. You can just check out some youtube videos and see for yourself. It obviously looks better but that's not the same thing as a generational leap we typically see when new consoles come out. That's not because pc's aren't far more powerful and could do a lot more with the engine, it's because they are designed to look and play identical across all platforms.

HZW will be coming out in 2021 and we haven't seen any gameplay of Spider man yet. You seem to be convinced Spider man its just a cash grab but I'm sure there's more of a technical reason why its not coming to ps4. We will see but its not just about these early games that are cross gen with Xone during the first 2 years. I'm talking about an entire console generation where MS's exclusives will be designed around the limitations of the 4Tflops Lockhart and average pc's too. I was hoping RTX cards would be more common once the new gpu's come out, but they are actually expecting a price hike as there's a big demand from cryptocurrency miners. Will be interesting to see what the new gpu's going to cost, but I don't expect RTX 2080 like performance to become standard on pc anytime soon.  

I don't think there was any confirmation SM:MM won't come to PS4, but on technical reason not to just if dev don't want to use the assets on PS4 more than the assets they twiked for PS5. Because if the engine is the same with improvements they probably could easily make a PS4 version of it.
