Days Gone preview thread

It's assumed you can't always reach for the stars, but even an 80+ MC would be a step back from where internal studios have (mostly) been performing in recent years. That the game is positioned as the tentpole experience for this period, comparable to what Uncharted, Horizon or God of War were in the past, only serves to deepen the disparity between what Days Gone is shaping to be, and what the publisher would want to.
This is not an indictment against DG or Bend, if it needs to be clarified. They seem to have done a nice work and, for all we know, commercial success is on the way. That being said, there's no reason to deny, all the same, that this project doesn't seem to have captivated fans and press alike, as the biggest franchises did before. I'm of the opinion DG would have been a fantastic side release, similar to Detroit for God of War, or Ratchet with Uncharted. Going alone by itself (VR and Dreams' EA aside) was probably too much pressure. In the end, it's how the schedule has come to be, so all the best for the studio.

DOnt worry I'm sure ND and Kojima pro will bless you with a new cutscene this year
Ah, good to know. Thanks.
Got it pre-ordered already. Can't wait.

Yeah its a skill you use or when you open the weapon wheel time slows a little.

I have no idea but ti seems to be really need since you need to craft stuff on the fly and such.
I wonder if I can deactivate pre order boosters.
I just saw on PSN that pre order gives a lot of bikes upgrades and one of the aspects that I have higher expectations it's the bike management. I don't wanna be overpower from the start, specially in this aspect.
I know one can say "so just don't pre order" but I want to pre load it and play day one : (

They upgrades right? I guess don't redeem them or download them they usually separate downloads. Ima filthy casual so naturally I'll take all the help I can get 😂
Personally, I look forward to it now because of all the media and because I normally like Bend games and most of Sony's 1st party titles. I'm still not feeling it 100% but I never played so...
But at first, it looked too uninspired but also too similar to TLOU... As if the project started as a PS Vita side story to TLOU or something and would have later got switched to a full budget PS4 game.

Since you can customize the bike however you want I am sure you can just remove them.
That's fine, I just hope the hordes aren't built around the need to slow down time. I'd rather just deal with them in real time but I'll just take it as it comes.
the days gone video is simply.....gone :))
anyway, any hint about the framerate being finally fixed? is it rock solid now?
Yeah Giant Bomb can't be trusted with just about any info. I honestly don't understand how they can constantly be so flippant. But dear god they suck sometimes.
Dan this week just very quickly dismissed the game, "that game sucks, it's terrible" and didn't elaborate in any way. It really bothers me, knowing the devs have probably worked so passionately on the game, and someone can just dismiss it with so little care really bothers me.
I mean they literally were joking around saying "they should just cancel it" and crap like that. Just really really shitty.
At this point I just mainly listen to them for their humor, and try to ignore the rest of the stupidity.
So they let you play two missions, one is a story mission and the other is just defeating a horde. They make it a point to stress that the horde was "hard" difficulty. The story mission was a simply fetch quest so there isn't really much to say on it. Taking out the horde instantly makes you understand the fun behind the game. You come across this huge holding pit in the ground where hundreds of freakers are roaming and it will instantly impress. The PS4 Pro didn't really struggle to show all the zombies moving at the same time. One thing that does kill fps is explosions. The horde event allows for you to be very creative in terms of determining how you want to eliminate zombies. And even though you instantly notice the shit gun mechanics, it doesn't hamper the fun you're having. All in all, the game allows you to play how you want to and that is probably the best thing about it.
That's true!
So pre order it is!
Just gonna wait a little bit longer to see if Sony brings back one of those spend some get some back this month on PSN before pulling the trigger.
I've been wondering that as well. I mean, I've heard the surface arguments, i.e. "Just another zombie game," but I don't know what the underlying motive is.
Youbonly get 15 minutes to play so I was rushing. If i spent more time prepping and casing the area out I think it would have been much easier. I think it was one of the smaller hordes and they gave you some good upgraded weapons. Bike also felt good to drive.
I really like this feature. It's going to be easy to remember.
Didn't the Easy Allies also say the framerate was bad when they saw it.
Jones said it was a vast improvement from the first time he played and he was Hoping they could tighten it up a bit more and that they had time

Beating all 40 hordes going to be quite the challenge I feel.
Seems about right based on everything I've seen since reveal.
The few sites/magazines that seem negative/down on the game are those I don't give two shits about so their opinions mean nothing to me. LOL.
I'm super hyped and can't wait. Playing through the next update for The Division 2 and the Legacy of the First Blade expansion for AC Odyssey just to waste time as Days Gone is my next guaranteed purchase.

If I could compile all the shitposts you've made about this game it would demonstrate why you're using EDGE's negative preview as a way to validate them. An ongoing attitude like this is pure confirmation bias, when there are like 40 other previews and they're mostly positive. There are very few scathing reviews like this and it makes sense why. EDGE gets a fair few points wrong here - I mean yes they're talking about their experience with the demo but they should know that a 3 hour demo won't show exactly everything the game has in its feature set nor should it.
I've barely posted about this game as ever thread is a circle jerk of the same posters refusing to hear any thing bad about it. This game has mediocrity written all over it.
I remember Dan giving more fleshed out thoughts a few weeks ago on the beast cast. And I mean everyone is dismissive over shit they don't like
To the extent that they say the thing they don't like should be cancelled? I'd disagree.
they were joking. They also said they full game could still be good, and that they hope it is
But I finally got that one preview that confirms my bias.
Then why bother suggest something that is intrinsically linked to the OP if you don't care?
