Two years work gone into making sure engine can stream an open world.

PS4 action-RPG Horizon: Zero Dawn will run at 1080p/30fps and is being developed on a modified version of the Killzone: Shadow Fall engine, Guerrilla has confirmed.

"It is actually still the same engine but then [there is] an enormous leap from Shadow Fall to this," art director Jan-Bart van Beek told VideoGamer.com at E3 earlier today. "The Shadow Fall engine isn't an open-world streaming world engine so for the last two years a lot of technological effort has gone into actually being able to make it work like this."

Horizon: Zero Dawn was revealed during Sony's E3 press conference on Tuesday, and sees players step into the role of a machine hunter called Aloy in an open world set 1,000-2,000 years after the apocalypse.

The game launches exclusively on PS4 in 2016.

Her name is Alloy, and she Steels metal from machines XD
No but seriously, game looks gorgeous

The game looks stunning. For an open world game 1080p 30fps is normal. And I hope we get to see more gameplay tomorrow.

interesting...

It looks a bit better than Shadow Fall even being an open world. That's an amazing feat!

Couldn't care less, hope it just doesn't drop below that (looking at you bloodborne)

Despite my negative views on killzone shadow fall it was one beautiful game, and this does look far more beautiful. So good on them. I look forward to this title.

Playing ShadowFall you can tell they really didn't want to do Killzone anymore. It was so colourful and open and pretty. Horizon is a fantastic way to show the growth of that studio. Well done guys.

Shadow Fall looked good... moving on.
