That is oversimplified but also not completely remaking the game or anything. They already do it for different platforms. In theory it needs to run on all the systems. This isn't that different from what IOS developers have to do now.

I just think the games are more complex and the stakes are higher for non-mobile platforms on an individual consumer level. I've bought IOS games for our 2nd generation iPad that don't run well enough to be enjoyable. The difference is I paid $1 for them (or they were free) so I don't care.

Think about the real world example of Shadow of Mordor. The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions not only had inferior graphics, but they also got a dumbed down nemesis system which was the main thing that made that game unique and worth playing. That's a gameplay difference, not a graphical one.

And just so I'm clear, I had these same questions when the Steam boxes were being announced a couple of years ago.

That's also a completely different generation of games for a different platform. I believe the idea here is not to have a different generation, just update the current generation. Run the same games, just at different graphical fidelity. That is how I envision it.
