Sure but none of those cross gen games really feel 'next gen' to me. Like playing Tiny Tina's Wonderland compared to something like Ratchet and Clank. You have the fast load times sure, and the haptics yeah, but Ratchet felt way more impressive immediately.

Maybe TT is a bad example because it's Gearbox lol but that's the last cross Gen AAA game I remember playing. Maybe 'next gen' just doesn't matter anymore though. But that only makes me more sad about the state of gaming lol

Also I should clarify I'm not coming at this from some "console wars" stance or anything. I genuinely love video games on all consoles. I want games to be great across the industry. It just makes me sad that I feel like that luster is gone for me.

Not arguing with you; just saying I still enjoy the additions to the cross platform games.

There is no question that Ratchet & Clank was a step up visually. It's interactive Pixar quality.

And Returnal was amazing in terms of truly using haptic feedback, the half vs full trigger pulls, and the 3D audio. The game wouldn't play right without that stuff. Also, the amount of particles at 60fps per second is incredible. Not to mention loading large, procedurally generated worlds pretty much instantly.

Seriously, Returnal is awesome for anyone who hasn't tried it. Don't let the high difficulty and roguelike structure scare you. It's worth it, and I typically don't play roguelikes other than Hades.
