Don't think Ninja Theory can do so, don't forget they had access to Sony's animation studios, ICE and so much more for Heavenly Sword...…..No need to worry about Tsushima, it will be in the top two best looking games released this year, the other being TLOU2...….The wide vistas and animation alone puts it in top 5 this whole gen....
Gears never touched UC1 in visuals, go play both again on a PS3 and 360 respectively and you will see......UC1 was better than Gears in world visuals, character visuals, animation, physics and texturing...…..Resistance 1 glass and snow remember that, the jaggie Halo 3 with low rez textures, hideous characters had no claim on Resistance 1 with the enemy characters, the bosses, the guns and their detail...….Then we get to KZ2 and RFOM3 and there's was nothing close from there....Are you sure you remembered that gen...?
Also, do you 343 does not have the chops that Bungie had, relative to art and design......MS has garnered lots of AA and indie studios and they have already said they are targeting next gen below AAA and for gamepass and all their platforms......If it can run properly on XBONES, it defeats being ambitious......
