Will xbox one compatibility hold back FM8 and FH5?

if they decide to not use XSXs full power and instead stick to the xbox one failure for another 2 years, then the CPU and game scale side of things will be held down by the weakest console, that means, more flat bland and small worlds and less room for improvements. Unless MS does the right thing and make the xone version be xcloud only or partially so forza can innovate again with XSXs power

You do understand that features can be disabled, like a lower end PC can still run new games with stuff disabled. Same for the lower end consoles. It isn’t going to hold it back. It takes them years to get the full potential of a console too. Look at F5 compared to F7.
This is a ridiculous thing to worry about. Worry about no new consoles at all cause I am sure they are made in China.

Forza Motorsport 7 still runs at a rock solid 60 FPS on the Original Xbox One hardware, It is very possible for the devs to downscale some aspects of the game to continue to support the One. Since Forza is on PC now there are already options to adjust quality settings to run on a PC that is less powerful then an Xbox One.

I think it’s much smarter to support X1X only. You can sell some low-end stuff to others and current owners will have a choice.

X1X should be the only console on old gen running it naturaly, one S and one should get just get xcloud

the main problem is xbox ones RAM, that means FH4s map is the biggest it can take, we wont get better, bigger maps unless one is dropped, moved to xcloud or have the map smaller than the XSX version (remember FH2 xbox 360)

Says who? I never heard anyone say it is the largest map possible.

largest map with decent detail, crew 2 has a big empty world, in xbone gen you either choose detail or size, xsx will have both, but looks like it wont because of crapbox one

besides the map theres also physics and other CPU bound things that cant be scaled down unless xboners would play on their own server and game with a smaller and simpler game
