"RDR2 is overrated" seems to be the gaming equivalent of "I'm vegan". Everyone feels the need to share it with the thinnest of excuses.
What I meant to add further is, could the game some kind of frame rate enhancements for the Pro version? Not like an actual 60fps, but more like an uncapped frame rate like the one Rise of the Tomb Raider did!
Unless it's a 1080p high-framerate mode? What was the resolution in the 60fps trailer?
Not that I'd touch unlocked framerates with a barge-pole (without VRR).
4K.
Either there is magic involved or it is on something other than a PS4.
This is a bait isn't it, make people reply with "yeah, no" and then make a wall of shame if it does get 90+.

Damn.
Probably means the game won't be any fun then. Not really a fan of metacritic/awards bait games.
No, I reacted to a poster who said "nobody expects it to be 90+". I do. Maybe it's silly, but I honestly do think it's possible.
Very possible.
If Backwards Compability is going to be a thing next gen then I think they will be making patches for games to use it as a selling point. Play your PS4 games on PS5 with better graphics and framerate.
I'm just kidding. I hope it does 90+ and pulls a Horizon ZD on the doubters.
I hope the side missions aren't just a bunch of Ubisoft style repeat activities.
Thinnest of excuses? I don't think poor controls and gameplay and outdated mission design on top of that are the thinnest of excuses. A fantastic story and wonderful open world unfortunately have blinded a lot of people including the media, but no me.
As for the Days Gone reviews, I'm happy with everything above a 70, as long as the gameplay and open world are good. I wouldn't mind if it's story get's criticized. I just hope the game is polished and really fun and addictive to play.
it was running at 4k60fps, not 1080p. no way it was running on a PS4 or a PS4Pro.
Rise of the Tomb Raider looked and felt like absolute horseshit on the high framerate mode. Texture shimmering was all over the place. I played for 5 minutes and immediately switched to the graphics mode that felt way more steady and looked very clean.
well, Era is sometimes definitely treating it like a lesser project.
i will say though, i am postively surprised. their wording for this event is pretty much the same as God of War's, so sony seems to treat this event the same as they did for the others.
Remember what happened last time we judged a Sony AAA?
Horizon came out and blew everyone's minds.
I for one trust Sony Bend, Sony is growing their team and the office so I have no doubt that this game will be good.
I think the difference is that HZD wasn't getting poor hands-ons and previews, and wasn't delayed almost a year as a result of them. The HZD negativity was (AFAICR) only from forum dwellers who had never had any time with the game.
But all the recent footage makes it clear they've used that time wisely, and it looks vastly improved over the GI gameplay we saw last year. Sony knows what they're doing and I expect the game will turn out just fine.
however, horizon didnt have that many early build preview iirc. so couldnt it just be because they played an unfinished version? the QA team for horizon was critcizing the game a ton pre launch and told the developers it isnt fun. they managed to turn it around since then.
But it wasn't an early build preview at the time, because Days Gone was going to launch last year. But yes, as I said in my post, I expect it'll have turned around since last year in a big way. The recent footage shows quite the transformation.
We didn't see half the gameplay we saw with Days Gone before Horizon came thou.
Either way the game is almost gold, and it's looking better by the day in terms of gameplay mechanics
Tell me something, on a scale of 1 to 5, how good is the story?
The game got in the first half of 2018 an announcement for Feb 22th...
And where are all these poor hands on and previews ?
The stability got criticized but mostly everyone said that's ok because the launch is far away...

He cant do this dude anymore this is his job we are talking about.
I linked two of them in the post you quoted.
And Days Gone was previously scheduled to launch in 2018, hence the GI cover story last year.
Nice, looking forward to reading some impressions.
"Thinnest of excuses" as in people need to state how they think RDR2 is overrated in any conversation they can hop in, because it paints them different from the pack who are easily blinded.

The game is really not focus on side activities

That was only a listed for 2018 on the PS website....
Official announcement was in June for Feb 22th.
And lol....you call that poor ??
"could turn out to be an essential PlayStation 4 exclusive" sounds not poor imo xD
Try reading the rest of the article, and are you just going to ignore the other preview I linked? It's strange you're being so defensive. It's clear the game was delayed for much needed additional work - both those previews highlight that ("it still needs quite a bit of work"). And based on the latest footage, the delay was well worth it.
While there were no official specific dates attached to Days Gone coming out in 2018, Shu was on the record stating '2018' ( not concrete, but clearly it was planned for 2018 at one point ) and official marketing material did state 2018 until it was changed.
It's fair to say that it was planned for 2018 at one point, but was pushed to improve the quality of the game and also to not have it release next to tentpole fall games.

The gamy was delayed 2 times for a reason, and i praised sony for not sending Bend Studios to the wolfs.
Äh you wrote something about poor previews...
And why should I read the rest of the article when they wrote "could turn out to be an essential PlayStation 4 exclusive" ?
That's far away from poor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That Eurogamer preview is the only negative I remember.
But what's with all the positive previews like Easy Allies ?
And what do you mean with "try" reading ?
Sounds not very friendly...
Why wouldn't they? They've got money invested into this, they aren't going to go send it to die.
Good open world games require more then just good story.
GTA4 had a decent story, but suffered with poor mission variety.
The gameplay and open world look great in days gone, but the jury is still out on story and mission variety.
The demo I got to play certainly wasn't 60 so there's no way known this will be 4K60
I'm expecting 84-88 range based on my time with it.

I hope you are right, but after youtubers impressions on PAX I think this game will set review scores around 70-75.
They say the gameplay is really clunk and the AI is really bad. So I don`t have many hopes.
