No comparisons, just replying to the user wondering if another big single player game has had big patches, Dead Rising 3 was treated as kinda AAA back in the day.
edit: Also the patch was apparently 13GB, not 11.
This game looks really sharp, graphically. If it reviews somewhere int he neighborhood of Horizon Zero Dawn, I'll probably pick it up.
I was on the same boat as you, but a lot of comments in some of these threads were more than disinterest or confusion. "We're flooded with zombie games" or "Last of Us exists, why even make this" were probably the most common
The Order looked worse everytime we saw it, unlike Days Gone which only got better with time.
I forgot about that improvised silencer design, is that still in the game?
Yes. You can buy them in camps, or find them in the world.
TLOU2 is set a bit further North up in Seattle. Pretty close
Edit: life is strange was Oregon as was Gone Home
Ah yeah, forgot about Life is Strange. Alan Wake was set in Washington as well, but yeah... that ain't Oregon. :p
Ahh ok. So the only other single player game that has a day one patch that's a little over half the size of days gones is a launch title for a console that had one of the most borked launches in history.
I dont know if that's a good game to bring up lol.
Ooh didn't know about that, will do. Thanks for the heads up!
Was Alan Wake Washington? I just remember him saying PNW in the game but it's been a while
They release at 8 AM EST. So approximately 16.5 hours from this post.
As long as after downloading this 24GB Patch, Days Gone works like a charm and doesn't have any of those clipping bugs from random early-copy tweets, I'll be more than happy with sacrificing 24GB bandwidth for it.
Speaking of which.... where are the people who already have the game? I want some impressions
Man I remember this like yesterday.
Is there any footage from the final build like this. Showing environment kills etc?
Yeah but where are they? Playing the game obv but they could share some stuff with us lol :p
Some posted impressions already but I guess most are still playing.
On a unrelated note it seems Sony gave Bend Studios alot of merchandise
This game looks fantastic and is so clean. 🥰
1080p super sampled PNG screenshots. PS4 Pro.
This game honestly looks pretty good to me. I'm confused why so many people in the gaming media seem to be so down on it. Then again, I haven't actually played it, but it certainly doesn't look dull to me.
I quite liked The Order... Was way too short and definitely had its flaws, but I found it to be a very enjoyable experience.

Same, thought that initial reveal was cool as hell, and what I've seen since then has only been better and better.
Platinum has 3D audio and gold has vss, but both will probably receive a profile for the game (in the companion app). However the Platinum will be 3D, but gold is just 7.1 surround sound (vss). Hope you understand what I mean.
So Im probably more interested in the survival mode. Hope its more tactical and not just cheaper enemies
I guess you're looking for confrontation.
I'm not sure how anyone can think that the following reads like a rhetorical question. It doesn't.
I rather not waste my time researching patch sizes to prove a futile point.
Why even pose this question if you know the answer already?
Who said the game is broken? A large patch size has more to do with how the game is designed in any given engine. They're not adding 20 GB worth of fixes in the game, it would be absurd to think this.
If you're pissed about downloading updates then by all means don't buy the game. Or do, and vent your frustration.
I didn't know anyone was worse with a controller than me, until now...
Performance and graphics look great so far. I might have to make this a day one purchase.
Yeah, patch size. vs. game quality is probably a good discussion...for another thread. Other than to say it's always a good idea to rebuild the database after installing large downloads/patches, or when "making room" for games by removing other games' installation footprints.
Let's focus on Days Gone's release and play experience here. Thank you.
Yep, that type of discussion will most likely lead to derailment.
I have never done a database rebuild on my PS4. Does it format the system?
Holy fuck, I totally forgot that first video.
Is even half... What am I saying... 1/4 of that still in the game? :D
All these special animations and environment stuff. Haven't seen much of that so far.
No, Rebuild is like de-fragmenting your PS4.
There is another option in the same menu called "Initialize", that's the one which wipes everything out. That's what you wanna avoid.
I've been pretty consistent with my opinion of this game - I think it'll be a mixed bag of reviews, settling around 77-78 on metacritic. That's not a bad score at all and signifies a good game.
I think the Horde tech is incredible and I'm interested to see how that gameplay loop plays out + how the overall story and characters are received by reviewers. It's just rather surprising to me that the majority of posters in Days Gone threads are so overwhelmingly optimistic and ignore some of the signs/feedback that has come from this game and developer.
If it's ends up being a great game I'll be the first to admit it. I was one of the people who thought Horizon would be fantastic because GG had a track record of great gameplay + that world had very interesting concepts. Additionally they made some very great strategic hires to fix their shortcomings (story telling + quest designers).
I don't think this is another The Order situation but I don't see how it's an unfair comparison to put Ready at Dawn and Sony Bend in the same sentence. RAD made GREAT games on portable systems, arguably better than Golden Abyss. Additionally, many of the same developers from the Syphon Filter games are no longer even working at Bend.
I'll refrain from posting in this thread though until after reviews since apparently I think this game will be "horrible" even tho I've never said that in any of my posts.
Same reason uncharted did it I guess, so you don't have to physically turn your digital self around just to illuminate something. It looks a bit weird but I appreciate the functionality being better.
Ah, thank you for the info.
What about system settings and login stuff. Do I have to customize that after rebuilding the database?
