Days Gone

Sephiroth_dude · 11-05-2018 4:16pm #1

Ps4 exclusive, coming early 2019, one hour gameplay on the gameinformer website, I'm definitely interested anyway.

Still looks a bit far from release. Despite then wanting to distance themselves from Last of Us comparison it's close enough to be an unofficial spinoff

Zero-Cool · 12-05-2018 3:32am

The 1st hour vid looks good. I'd usually avoid openings of games but this seems to be a way off so interested to see how it plays. Newt's 'zombie kids' look class. Game is looking good!

Yeah jesus, anybody looking at the gameplay for that would easily mistake it for TLOU2, from the aiming/throwing to how you move, heck even the way items are seen and picked up is a direct copy from TLOU, wtf

Sephiroth_dude · 12-05-2018 9:01am

Well its not that far off zero, early next year

Crafting is much the same, I laughed when the journo asked do you throw the bottles as distractions & he said no it's for making a molotov. I worry that the way your bike is important will be blown out of the water pre release by Rockstar with how they handle horses in Red Dead 2 as more than just transport.

Wouldn't be surprised if it got released this time next year. Just stuff like the melee animations, aiming of weapons, bland voiceacting & overall polish was lacking. I am not expecting it to look God of War good with all the simultaneous on screen "freakers" but it looks like a game early in a generation in some areas. Trust Bend to make a good game.

Retr0gamer · 12-05-2018 4:04pm

Wasn't convinced about this game and still am not after the 1 hour video. Looks like bland amorphous triple A checklist ticking. Hoping it surprises me like god of war.

Zero-Cool · 12-05-2018 5:11pm

What would worry me is if it went down a mad Max route of having to focus on building your bike. Great feature but padded to **** to extend gaming time. I'd say it will be closer to Mad Max than Last of Us anyway, definitely doesn't look to have the AAA quality of GoW or TLoU but looking forward to seeing more.

Mr Crispy · 12-05-2018 11:22pm

Not seeing anything new or original here, but could still be well polished enough at release to be worth a play.

wandatowell · 12-05-2018 11:28pm

They wanted to make the biking as realistic as possible........Keep at it lads

Very negative preview from eurogamer after a very brief demo

"the game is gonna be great, but I understand why it was dealyed till 2019....because it runs at a consistent 15 fps! "

EoinMcLovin · 07-06-2018 4:21pm

Will be released on February 22nd 2019

New trailer.

J. Marston · 24-09-2018 11:09pm

Dunno, this looks very middle of the road to me...

Think it'll be a rare miss for one of Sony's big mega-exclusives.

Penn · 19-10-2018 9:38am

Release date has now been pushed back to 26th April 2019. Says it's to avoid the crowded February release window.
https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2018/10/19/playstations-worldwide-studios-release-line-up-the-next-wave-of-ps4-games/

We want to share a change in release date for this highly anticipated title from Bend Studio. We recently decided to move the release of Days Gone from the crowded February timeframe to 26th April 2019.

While the studio is eager to see Days Gone in the hands of fans, Bend Studio will take the opportunity to further polish Days Gone.

Definitely a smart move. February/March is already jam packed and a bit more time will hopefully give them a chance to address some issues reviewers had about the game.

gimli2112 · 19-10-2018 10:27am

It needs to stay as far away from TLOU 2s release date as it can 'cos there's only one winner there.

TLOU2's release date won't be near April 2019. It's probably not even going to be 2019 at all.

Had it in my head it was March next year but I must be mixing it up with the Division 2. I have a TLOU2 dynamic theme on the PS and it's just making me more anxious to play it.

Xenji · 28-01-2019 3:20pm

Nearly forgot about the game till I got an e-mail from Amazon today telling me my order had been upgraded to a steelbook edition.

Varik · 28-01-2019 8:35pm

Back log is still loaded so won't be getting it at launch, but I am looking forward to getting around to it.

I'll probably get it, but not expecting great things from it. Few other games to finish first.

Icyseanfitz · 15-02-2019 11:04pm

hoping its a silent hit like a few other sp games lately

I'm looking forward to it. Don't think it'll reach the heights of other PS exclusives from previous years, but I think it could still be a solid play, hopefully with a good story. Still kinda too hard to fully judge though. The weeks before release will be interesting.

Retr0gamer · 15-02-2019 11:31pm

Every time I see it it looks less and less appealing.

mj2017 · 21-02-2019 1:57am

They talk about Days Gone on the Splitscreen podcast this week. Haven't heard it yet but based on the shows title they seem impressed.

That's raised my interest some bit.

Mr Crispy · 06-03-2019 9:24pm

I just read the headlines, but yeah, they all sound positive!

gimli2112 · 08-03-2019 6:58pm

6 hours of cutscenes? they better be very good or very skippable. Skillup has a video up on youtube after playing it for three hours, looks good.
couple of negatives
- it's been six years in development and not adding much to the genre
- weapons feel under powered but this may be because they need to be levelled up

Retr0gamer · 12-03-2019 1:45pm

Pretty negative preview after the hands on from metro gamecentral:

https://metro.co.uk/2019/03/06/days-gone-hands-on-preview-and-interview-we-have-the-ingredients-to-create-a-really-unique-experience-8826097/

Pretty much reinforces all my fears about how banal the game sounds like it will be.

Zero-Cool · 30-03-2019 11:28am

As a Walking Dead/ Sons of Anarchy 'em up, this is very appealing to me. I know it screams generic but I definitely want to play it. GS offering 50 quid for Red Dead 2 if you preorder it makes even more tempting. Anyway, just under a month to go, will wait till much closer to release before deciding.

Zero-Cool · 10-04-2019 1:15pm

^^^ Nice, no difficulty or really stupid ones. Like most of the big PS4 exclusives, the trophy list is basically just "Do everything in the game and you'll get the platinum"

Zero-Cool · 10-04-2019 4:14pm

Pre-ordered today, guess I'm all in now. Avengers End Game Thursday, Days Gone Friday, roll on the end of the month.

I like what they're aiming for. Whether they get there or not is another thing, but if reviews are solid, I'm in.

Having said that, I'll never be okay with playing a character named Deacon Fecking St John.

Penn · 10-04-2019 4:24pm

I'll probably pre-order Days Gone to get the bonuses, but might wait a week or two before playing it. Mortal Kombat 11 is out on the Tuesday and hope to be up to my guts in guts

Sephiroth_dude · 10-04-2019 4:50pm

Think I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon to and get this.

Zero-Cool · 13-04-2019 9:29am

Some new gameplay uploaded, the guy likes going in gun blazing. Human enemies are fairly average but the freakers are relentless. One great bit on a broken road, kills 3 or 4 and then looks over the railing to see 20+ running towards him.

Game will be 67gb's and the review embargo lifts day before release 25th April 1pm Irish time.

Some influencers got a cool kit sent out to them.

Review embargo lifting the day before release is never a good sign imo. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Why? It's before release not after or on the day.

Nobody is putting a gun to anyone's head with pre-orders. I think everyone knows the risk of doing that with any game.

I think the majority of review embargo's are the day before releases these days. Red Dead 2 review was a day before release as well, nothing to worry about.

I think the difference is R* has the benefit of the doubt because they have a long successful history so in their case it was most probably to safeguard aganst spoilers.

I'd argue the reviews of some of their games in particular GTA IV & RDR2 were still way off the mark even when they did arrive.
I fully expect Days Gone to get favourable but not stellar reviews.

Retr0gamer · 14-04-2019 5:12pm

Sony has usually given a week or more before release at Thier embargo date. Two human was day before. I'm thinking theyve not got faith in glowing reviews for this one.

Benzino · 14-04-2019 6:28pm

It seems like I'm outta touch so, thought it was usually a week for most games.
