biker game? you mean day's gone? it looked amazing, looks like what dead rising 3 should have been
Yeah that's the one. To me it just looked a little same-y. Typical gruff protag avenging his dead wife with the weight of the previous world on his shoulders, post apocalyptic US environment, regular ol' fashioned zombies. It just doesn't do anything for me now, at least Dead Rising games had a neat timer-mechanic and humour.
Maybe it'll be fun. I dunno. But on the other hand I can't wait for Horizon Zero Dawn, it seems to do loads of original things and its telling a story that I haven't heard before. Like, why are there giant robot dinosaurs roaming around? What makes them corrupted? How far are we going to go down the rabbit hole?
Just a small thing really but I find that's what makes these big adventure games more exciting: what's happened before? What's happening beyond the borders? Can we see the story from a unique character/perspective?

Not sure about MS's strategy with the 4k Slim model and the Scorpio next year. Things could get confusing at some point. Will devs have to code their games for three different XBone configurations, along with two different PS4 configurations? We're treading dangerously close to PC territory. The more I think about it, the more I feel they shouldn't mess with the hardware generation cycles at all. I would be perfectly happy with the PS4 as it is for another few years, until it's time for the PS5. Everyone having the exact same hardware specs is a good thing.
It reminds me of the N64 with its memory pack expansion. Just allowed for higher resolution and smoother framerates on supporting games. I don't think it'll impact much or be any different to coding multiplatform games; a game would be built for the weakest platform/model, and a QA team would play through another version on higher spec hardware to see how well it runs at higher res.
As for the Scorpio - I dunno how they'd handle that as it's a huge leap forward. I imagine it's just going to be a backwards-compatible Xbox 4.
