Scaling Back Next-Gen Games for Current-Gen Consoles Is Reportedly a ‘Painful Process’ for Developers



Digital Foundry?s John Linneman has said that he has spoken to enough developers to deduce that, contrary to popular belief, making cross-gen games is a ?painful process? from a development standpoint.
In a Twitter thread addressing the portion of gaming community that is reluctant towards the idea of next-gen exclusives, Linneman pointed out that this has long been a business practice and helps to advance the industry. When a follower opined that making cross-gen games is more doable now than 25 years ago, Linneman said that ?nobody wants to develop for an under-powered Jaguar CPU any longer.? ?I?ve spoken with enough developers to know how painful the process is at this point,? he added. ?Leave Xbox One and PS4 behind.?
