Microsoft is selling games across platforms at this point X1S, X1X, XLockhart, XAnaconda, PC, Cloud, etc. The lowest common denominator will most likely be forced to stream next gen games at this point or they will build games intelligently. I'm thinking they will be building intelligently as they have the funding to do so. One does not simply pass up the opportunity to be on top by not having great looking games. For all we know, this article is hogwash.
Metro Exodus is anotther title that comes to mind that scales fairly well and includes Ray-Tracing on PC that makes it look phenomenal. It currently runs on Xbox One S also.
Yes they will do what they deem to be right. I am just a random dude on the internet and I can only estimate things from my point of view. If the article is not completely fake then I guess Microsoft has reasons beyond my understanding why they would opt to do that. In the end it is about execution and presentation. Microsoft has a real chance now having E3 without Sony and being "the place" for third party developer AAA games to be shown of.
Maybe they can pull it off, but Sony won't sleep and if they start the PS5 with big exclusives like maybe Horizon 2, Bloodborne 2 or a new God of War then I am certain those games will look favorably over Microsoft games.
If I buy a console at launch like PS5 and buy a new 3rd party title then surely there should be some big difference between that and a PS4 version. Otherwise what's the point of buying a new console until a few years later?
Yes of course. Mostly resolution, texture quality, shadow quality, draw distance and of course framerate and frametimings
It will be roughly the same as Multiplats/Multigens on PS3 -> PS4 like Assassins Creed Black Ship or so
