maybe one of u gfx tech heads can answer this,
Was thinking about the horizon world map, could you take the car out and replace it with a character to walk freely around? This map would be huge to walk around.
only asking is horizon 2 is 1080p and open world and has a lot going on. Could this give Witcher 3 and other games a glimmer of hope of achieving 1080p too?
You will have to walk for a VERY long time - the map in FH2 is LARGE.
but yes, oc you can have sweet 1080pee in open world games, it's up to the lazy devs, many of the cross-platform studios still use old DX 9/10 based engines. In a year or two most of them should have upgraded their engines though.
Witcher 3 runs on an old engine, "REDengine 3", announced in the beginning of 2013, so it's most probably 2011
