see THIS is where a lot of people go wrong, honestly graphical potential is the least of my worries, you can make any game run on any machine if the only powerh ungry thing about it is its graphics, because you can infinitely reduce those to a point of it running on literally anything.

my issue is that i find the old xbox and playstations have such weak processing power that more complex AI, larger scale worlds with more things going on as well as greater physics and thus water amounts are drastically hampered due to the older consoles heavy processing limitations, at this point graphics are at a level that i really couldnt care less if they never improve an inch more, hell i felt that back in 2016 era of gaming and i stand by it. I want more ambitious projects and i think once old gen consoles start losing support we will see that start to flourish more and more, ofocurse triple A devs will always be Triple A devs and release hot garbage every year, but i dont think ive bought a single triple A game in the last decade so for me thats not really a problem.
