Days Gone preview thread

Yeah this is very impressive to me as well. Other games like this have teams that are double or triple the size that they are currently and again they were 50 people for the first couple years working on this. They will get off to a far better start on whatever comes after Days Gone.
I don't believe that I ever said that Sony should cancel it, and in fact I said that I could possibly consider getting the game down the road when it is cheaper. It is clear that this game likely didn't hit his lofty goals for all first party games though.
it seems to me, the initial pitch for Days Gone is basically the horde gameplay. that is indeed something we never see before, so I can see Days Gone count under "First" in Shawn Layden's view. but you can't make a game with just horde mode nowadays. people expect more, so they had to build the rest of the game surrounding it. they just happened to choose an open world zombie survival game.
Yeah, considering they're comparing it to behemoth Ubisoft games that have thousands of devs over multiple studios on each game.
Maybe?
From one of the interviews they said he wears the cap to the front one time so maybe he takes it off and we find out.
As someone who wants more diversity in gaming, and advocates for it in as many games as possible, including this one, let me tell you something thats a bunch of bullshit.
Gaming journalists "advocating" for more diversity in select titles before forgetting to bring it up in the next big title. It's a shit transparent crutch that they use in favor of actual meaningful criticism, made transparent by their lack of consistency in advocating for the issue. It's entirely hollow in intent except for those few journalists that are actually consistent in their criticisms

Sounds like it will be a good, solid game. Nothing mind blowing and that's fine.
I won't be picking up day one, no matter what it scores but I will definitely pick it up down the road.

I think it looks good, first time I've watched coverage of the game and been excited for it.
I just have to get over the cringe of the zombies being called 'freakers' and the main character being called 'Deacon St John'.

I don't mean to imply that either. Just saying that honestly those kind of goals, if WWS could have a hit-rate of 70% of meeting those goals, it'd be pretty good already.
I really like his name. Sounds better than some random "John Smith" name.
shouldn't be, we have to edit the b-roll footage, in order to use/publish it.

Too true. Sure Ubisoft open world games are gargantuan in size but its still impressive by Bend!
Ehh I dunno, depending on the execution of story/gameplay mechanics with hordes, bike etc I think this can score in the 80's range tbh
Yeah, looks like it will be a fun romp for the most part. I never really burned out on zombie stuff and the last open-world game I played was Spider-Man. This should scratch that itch. Really, the biggest thing that's got me hooked is the bike. Riding through the Pacific Northwest with the dynamic weather is going to be grand.
Seriously, riding the bike in this game seems like it'll be a lotta fun!
WTF. That's white too. A Greek white Spartan. Have you ever been in Greece?

the shooting animations are inconstent, sometimes they look good and sometimes bad.
in this very gif you can se the first enemy with stiff animations and ragdoll and the second one with good animation and ragdoll, they are not bad everytime and it's kinda strange
O you thought you was about to abuse it? Think again
Well played bend
Is it wrong to think IGN should stop likes/dislikes on their preview? People clicking on the video are gonna be met with the 1st impression the game must look shit rather than it being targeted by outside influence because of something the previewer said about white males.
I just feel sorry for Bend.

If I get it, it would be the thing I'm most looking forward to. It just looks...right.
While the first one looked a bit weird, I feel hit reactions are quite good overall. Not sure about weapon feedback tho.
Not sure I'm a big fan of the tagging. Do we know if enemies are also visible through walls then, like in Far Cry? I realy disliked the fact that we couldn't turn that off, despite the fact the HUD was highly customizable.
Of course they are.
Lack of diversity is bad but why is Days Gone in particular problematic? Not to mention even with a white protagonist it is still unique in that it is one of the few games with a biker protagonist.
Why isn't Red Dead or Witcher 3 or any other game with a white protagonist problematic if Days Gone is?
If I remember correctly, you need to use your binoculars to tag enemies, they don't get tacked just by looking at them and hitting a button.
Probably because of the stereotype of being a biker, I'd bet.
To me it doesn't really matter how you tag them. It's fact that you can. I know you can also just ignore using it, but in some games the combat system is designed with it in mind, like in FC(5). In Uncharted 4 for example, you can manage just fine without the enemy indicators.

That looks really nice. Very pleased that travel in this game appears to be, in its own way, as enjoyable fun and satisfying as it is in Spider-Man.
my reaction to this game when the 6 hr cutscene news dropped:
i mean i get it, many people see games as enhanced movies with interactivity these days but i just want to play and not watch passive movie snippets
are there different costumes for the guy at least? this base cap makes him look like a douche, i don´t want to see this in cutscenes...

6 hours is not that long in open world games, someone post comparison to other game and it's pretty average. I haven't checked, but pretty sure RDR2 have more cutscene hours than that.my reaction to this game when the 6 hr cutscene news dropped:

Robin hated the game since the beggining, we expect the same quality for all Sony studios to be the same, instead of understanding that Bend is a studio that has not done a AAA title in 10 years with a studio of 50 peopel in the first 2 years.
