The shift from a long-standing first-person shooter focus to an open-world action game isn't without its hiccups, but it's also a risk that seems to pay off--especially in combat. Horizon is set 1,000 years in the future, and humanity has essentially returned to a hunter-gatherer society, though they mostly hunt mechanical beasts and gather the resulting parts. The story setup--which comprised the first of two sections of our extended gameplay demo--is...

Urquhart recalls one project that went on to become Icewind Dale. "Now 3D...
