They can make them. They choose not to because they believe technically better graphics will generate better sales than better framerate. And, historically, they are right. It's all about where you allocate power to. Every game on PS4/XBONE can run at 1080/60 if you downgrade graphics enough. But is it worth it?
And I am free to voice criticism when they try to bullshitvertise that they simply can't manage to get the technical standards they set themselfs. And I am free to point out your doublestandard with trying to shut down this kind of criticism.
Ultrawinkle lent me a hand with pointint to all the games that manage to look better than this game while meeting the standards. I never claimed other consoles can deliver in this regard.
Look at it this way. You can run same car on 10 gallons of fuel for 500 miles driving conservatively or 300 miles driving like a maniac. It's a simple game of a tradeoffs.
Look at this way: Your old engine was always capable of this. Now the next gen of cars is advertised with "500 miles while driving like a maniac". When the engines get to light you realise that it was bullshit and the companies come out and say they did it for the "nostalgia" value or "the true driving experience".
No. They did not. They simply either failed at optimising or they simply can't get the hardware to do what they promised to deliver. In both cases they bullshitvertised a standard they fail to meet.
What elitist position of me, prefering certain technical standards over shiny graphics that will in the end look like shit because the resolution and frame rate take me out of the experience. My real life vision does not stutter when I move my head. My vision is only blurry if I take off my glasses. If you want -4 sight stutter emulations of your next gen, good for you. I actually hoped for real improvements. Improvements that would not only affect my experience with next gen games in a positive way (with less bullshit ports) but also the experience of the console audience.
And then there are people like you who run to their defense.
Hey, at least with the incredible "NEEEEEXT GEN" standards I won't have to upgrade my now 5y rig for a few years.
