Holy shit, I've described it as an Ubisoft clone since I played it but you're right LOL.

Either way it's not super original or anything.

Does Microsoft have a engine like Decima capable enough to do this? or are they going to make a new one for this game?

One of the reasons Horizon Zero Dawn looks so good, is because of how crazy advanced this new game engine is.

Its "ahead" of the game so to speak.

Do you guys think MS will make a new engine? or try to get Horizon Zero Dawn graphics able to run on Xbox One S  (weaker than a normal PS4) on a old engine?

They will probably amke a new engine.

A game with Horizon graphics should run 900p on base XB1.

What a terrible description. They aren't even in the same genre or even played from the same perspective. 

this thread is about a job as a lead environment artist, not about the genre or playstyle.

This is clearly fake, we all know MS doesn't make SP games any more.

But its nothing like Crysis in that regard as well, its environment is far more diverse.

Playground is supposed to be working on a new AAA openworld game. They claimed they were expanding there Studio.

Next gen? So I guess the next Xbox is under development already? I don't know why he would say next gen for Xbox One, this gen is already 4 years (basically) in. Unless he considers the Xbox One X next gen? Or maybe I'm making too much out of his use of the words "next gen"

I dont believe Xbox is using Gens anymore. X1X and its sequal will most likely run the same games.

it's like any other environment with  the addition of robot dinousours, realistic trees and cute landscapes. so it's crysis, far cry, Just Cause and a bit of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Are people getting annoyed because I'm saying that Horizon's environment is nothing special? amazing graphics but that's other subject, we are talking about environment design.

That's the most inaccurate thing I heard all month. Congrats.
