Dying Light will be ditching Last Gen systems to avoid compromises

Dying Light is an upcoming first- person zombie game that is now a current-gen exclusive. The game will now be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. The game however was in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360 for a while, now the team has decided that the two last generation consoles cannot grant players the true “ Nextgen Feel” that they are aiming to provide next year.

To add on to this, the resources are just not available as claimed. Well now, we could dive into the meat of it and blame it on lighting methods, on-screen object count, character mechanics or the open world environment, but Techland’s statement summarizes it nicely:

“To ensure you enjoy Dying Light as much as we would like you to, we chose to release it without any compromises on the three strongest systems available… Put simply, older consoles just couldn’t run the game and stay true to the core vision of Dying Light at the same time.”

This news will undoubtedly upset those out there who have yet to adopt new-gen consoles (or PC). Cutting the older tech out of the plan allows Dying Light to achieve its original vision, providing players on all three platforms a similar experience, without watering down any aspects of the game.

So now will you or not?
