In today's Daily Fix:
Microsoft held a talk at this year's Game Developers Conference where they gave a very brief overview of what to expect from the next-gen Xbox hardware, codenamed Project Helix. The console is confirmed to be able to play PC and Xbox games, and will be powered by a custom AMD SoC. They also teased a look at the Xbox Developer Kit, or XDK. In other news, Fortnites original story-focused Save the World mode will go free-to-play for the first time in April. The mode is what Fortnite was all about before the Battle Royale mode was added a few months later and subsequently changed the gaming industry forever. And finally, original Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya wants Capcom to add a 'non-scary' mode to Resident Evil Requiem, since he just wants to do puzzles and combat.
