I honestly believe that Microsoft and to a lesser extent Sony have been far too lenient with developers/publishers during the transition to this latest generation.
Whats the point in spending billions in R&D when most developers that release games on your system don’t use many of the latest features you have designed? Many of these are hardware accelerated and are just being ignored completely.
Developers haven’t been in a rush to utilise the latest technologies. It’s screwing up the generation as there is so much performance being left on the table.
Both Microsoft and Sony should better incentivise developers to utilise new technologies and features unique to each system. This could be done by evaluating titles during the validation stage. Titles could then be assigned a category depending on how many cutting edge technologies/techniques have been implemented. Titles that make use of the latest features could get cool branding and priority placement on the platform marketplace. Hence incentivising developers to max out the capabilities of each system.
Anything to get us back on the cutting edge. I agree with the OP that things aren’t progressing the way they should and that makes me sad. A new console generation used to mean new experiences. Now it just means the same old shit at a higher resolution.
