I should've mentioned that in my post.

For me as long as games don't actually demand everything next-gen needs then it's fine, but if something absolutely can't be done on last gen hardware considering the artist's intentions, then they might as well skip last gen.

Games like Dead Space Remake would've not turned out as good if the PS4 and Xbox One were still taken into account.

I guess how optimized engines are is also a good factor - it's why Like a Dragon titles are still coming out for last gen, they just have to lower the graphics.
