The potential of the hardware is the same either way, whether devs "hit their stride" with it after three years or just one.
While technical limitations can result in interesting creative solutions, there are probably things that stopped even being practical to consider with 512MB of RAM and such. Even if graphics plateau early, it wouldn't surprise me to see things AI improve a lot over this gen.

In other news
The wording may be funny, because of what the promotion is called, but it is for digital purchases from Origin only. You're not going to get a digital credit on Origin for not liking a physical copy of a game.

Yeah, how bizarre that they can't offer the same digital game guarantee for games not sold through their digital service...

'twas an amusing joke. The xb1 has more pressing concerns that Origin's games

I wonder if they will bother and try and patch 1080p into existing games like ACIV.

Anyone else get into the Titanfall Beta? I'm downloading it now. Finally something to play on this thing?

All sign's point to yes on Reddit, claims of patches to increase performance on launch titles.

Nope... Been checking my inbox hourly, and missed the cut-off for my workplace beta. Looks like I'll be waiting until March 11th
If you aren't having a good time, why are you playing?

Hoping, but I think I may have to stay at the hospital all weekend, so it may be no good to me.

Have you played Ryse and Max? Dead Rising 3 is pretty neat as well.

Whelp, scratch that, coworker hooked me up with his code when he realized it was XB1 only, and not for PC. Score!
I'll shoot you my code Stark if I get one from EA.
