Days Gone preview thread

Wait... easy? Didn't they say there weren't any additional difficulties?
I just saw a youtube video that said there are no difficulties to choose in this game. It's just set to "hard" because the developers thought it was the only right way to play. Was this incorrect?
Added later. Play testers were probably complaining and so would the casuals later(me I'm the casuals)

Made by almost half as many people. TLOU pt.2 is sure going to lift some heavy weights here.Although unrelated, if an open world game can look like this, I am sure TLoU II can pull off the visuals shown during last E3.
Hard it is for me then. Noice, smort! 😎
I have interest in seeing how this reviews - the game hasn't grabbed me yet with anything. The horde gameplay is cool but outside of that I feel like the game is fairly generic. All of the performance issues being reported is a turnoff too.
If the game reviews well, I'll be more than happy to try it out. But at this point, I don't think it's going to be a great game from everything shown and reported thus far.
It's looking like HZD all over again. People thinking it's going to be mediocre based on early builds and then the final game blowing people away. I can't wait for this game to release and prove the early haters wrong. I've always had faith in Sony Bend and it's looking like they are going to deliver in a big way with this game.
In one french interview a dev of Bend said the support of Sony was fantastic and the help of a studio like Guerrilla who have share some tech for the open-world with Bend really helped them for Days Gone
So you already made up your mind based on that last paragraph. I dont see any point of bringing up the order, besides trying to derail the thread.
While on the subject of OT titles, might I put my suggestion in the hat: Days Gone |OT| The Oregon Entrails
I hope so given it will be, akin to but perhaps not exactly alike TLoU with regards to cross generation releases.

If you remove the Clickers from TLOU, that game is pretty generic by itself. What makes TLOU or Days Gone stand out is their vision/take of the zombie apocalypse. As for how Days Gone will review, I am confident it is going to score better than Dying Light (vanilla).
Sure, if you only play shooters, then by all means ignore it. Same goes for Days Gone.
I don't agree. Really enjoyed it. Only bad thing for me was it's replayability.
Really hope there's a way to toogle the photomode using some buttons (L3+R3 maybe?) If not, I hope they add it via patch, as Insomniac did on Spider-Man.
Bend has a better track record than Guerilla, if we forget Bubsy 3D lol.
I liked KZ2, but not 1 and 3. Then SF was terrible. I had little faith in Horizon being great but its excellent.
Bend has made some good games in the past. I liked the original Syphon Filter games, and I haven't played the PSP games but they were supposed to be great. I did play Retribution and that was a good Resistance game. I also liked Golden Abyss, it suffered from some probable launch rush issues and touch gimmicks Sony wanted in there, but I enjoyed it.

That would be great for them. That would save them a lot of time and work.
Google maps says 820 miles from Bend to LA. So yeah it seems that far.
Except TLOU had interesting characters and gameplay mechanics displayed immediately during trailers/demos
Not to mention it was made by a studio with a pedigree of already making great narrative driven experiences with the Uncharted series
Bend hasn't done anything of significance since Syphon Filter - the Vita Uncharted game doesn't really count considering it was portable and an IP that they most likely received direction on from Naughty Dog
The game had its issues at launch, including servers malfunctioning which impacted the online features. The game also lacked on content too, but after one major expansion/DLC and multiple updates, the devs added so much to the game that if it was released as it is now. The game would had fared better with gamers and critics alike.
To be fair I bought the enhanced edition a year after release .so maybe that's why to me that score is odd
Of course but imagine, you are publisher and the game is meh/bad, you don't want to have youtubers, etc... saying it's bad/meh and not allowed to explain why ahah
Yes in the case of a game being good, it's positive but in the other side, it can kill the hype leading to the release
Thanks for letting us know this happened in the past. But what about all the times those impressions were confirmed by reviewers?
I have a strong suspicion that a linear cinematic corridor shooter (the order) plays a little different than an open world survival game
The order and no mans sky will be brought up til the end of time(funny enough the former did NOT have glowing previews in fact they were hella mixed plz go back and read em) stop taking the bait.

+1 for Oregon Entrails!

I wish people would stop using the word generic unironically. It keeps cropping up and it's no joke. I mean has anyone yet actually described what they mean by it? I don't think so. The same description could apply to a whole bunch of great games released over the past decade.
Can't wait for the delicious review thread. After some of these story impressions, could John Garvin gonna be a new superstar of the WWS?

Days Gone has not had glowing previews either and has consistently received average/mixed reception
Ok didn't say it did or didn't I'm confused why you keep bringing up the order. Are you gonna do that when tlou2 previews roll in? How about death stranding? Ghosts? I doubt it
I have every right to scrutinize previews of a new IP from an unproven studio
You just mentioned 3 games that are being made by some of the best developers in the industry - the former being a sequel to one of the best games of last gen. Not to mention TLOU2 has already had a great showing, same with Ghosts.
I was critical of the Death Stranding trailer/gameplay shown last E3 - I thought the game looked very rough and shouldn't have been shown to the public yet
