That would be pretty ridiculous if they mentioned performance issues that don't even exist anymore. They have 4 days to refine their review which is plenty of time.
I am confident mostly reviewers will consider that.
German's Game Star review version is 1.3.
Maybe because it is first and foremost story-driven game, so maybe Sony wanted to avoid potential spoilers.
About the frame
About the framerate:
"It was bad at first, but after Patch 1.3 it became pretty good and most bugs do not happen anymore."

We just had a game with the same type of embargo get reviews today yet some people still doing this crap in 2019 its ridiculous.

would be the opposite, reviewers always get a fact list about things that should not be said in reviews ( see TLOU/Ellie in winter, blades in GOW )..
Reviewers respect that because they are not stupid and otherwise would get blacklisted.
You're more likely to get spoilers from streamers than in a review, but the streaming embargo is pretty tight on what you can and can't show/say on stream.

I guess some reviewers will spend a few time trying the game again with the new patch., some other won't care.
Yeah. I could say Gears 5 is something to consider and maybe dreams too.
But this is impressive indeed. Game looks awesome and those hordes to top of that.
FPS issues aside, the Kotaku video is pretty decent to watch.
Gunplay looks good, encounters can be handled in a variety of ways and Deacon seems interesting.
It seems like a combination of different formulaesall executed solidly enough, and wrapped in an open world setting that's not that common.
Interested to see how the story is received, my big remaining question.

that knife fight with the freaker at like 57 minutes in is some of the worst footage I've seen in ages. that is some shocking AI.
Jeesus I just watched that fight that is absolutely atrocious. does not paint the game ina good light at all.
Man, I have this feeling that you're going to pounce with a told you so if this game doesn't review well. Do you even want it to be a good game? Because late impression/early purchase feedback has been quite good. Maybe give these guys a chance to release (and patch) the game before rendering judgement. Does it really matter, in this day and age, that there is a day 1 performance patch? I mean....good for them for caring enough to polish to the last moment.
How do you mean Promethius? I just watched it, and they never mentioned anything bad performance wise. Maybe I'm not good a spotting performance issues, but it seemed to run well without any horrific pop-up or anything like that.
Is it a playback issue? When I play it, there's several occasions of FPS dropping. But the other Days Gone videos I've watched are fine.
Oh mann that new Gameplay trailer had a spoiler in it. They've been good at avoiding spoiling story beats too. I regret watching :(
Does the entirety of the game take place in eastern Oregon? I notice the mossy trees but thought the eastern part of the state was much more dry? I've only ever been west of the Cascades where moss in on everything. I know western Washington is vastly different from the eastern half as I drove through it and live on the western side. Never been to eastern Oregon though.
Only watched the snow trailer, nothing else. Going in totally blind!
It might be me:) I don't play that many open world games so I might not be as astute at noticing frame rate drops unless their obvious. But it did seem similar to the other couple of play throughs that I watched today.
It has not been in development for 7 years, as Bend toyed with other ideas prior to settling on this one. And the team that started working on it was ridiculously small...
To me, this looks like an 80+ game. Unless you hate zombies. The footage all looks solid.

Better than before. They have been working on this for that long right though? So there you go, they've been working on something, they had a good track record before. this may end up bad, who knows, but omitting their history just to prove your point makes your argument flimsy.
Wait, they have one of those for Spider-Man? Where at?
Now I want a Sam Witwer playthrough of Days Gone like how Brian Dechart played Detroit lol.
Nope. Sony Bend tried a bunch of different ideas before settling for Days Gone somewhere in 2013. Prototyping ideas can take from 3 to 6 months (per idea). So saying they worked on it for 7 straight years is non-sense. Going into full production usually means that the project was greenlit, which allows them to ramp up production on the game right after.

Again False. They released Uncharted: Fight for Fortune on PS Vita in 2012.

There almost zero chance of less than 70. 80 is the number to look at.
Looking more and more like day 1. Is there any consensus among streamers/early copies about the game yet?
This is somewhat incorrect. Now it didn't enter 100% full production until 2015, that's true. But it actually has been in development for 7 years.

103 employees is absolutely tiny for an AAA open-world game of this scale. i wonder if they will expand if it is very successful.
Same for Sucker Punch but apparently they like being small. And of course Media Molecule is the smallest at around 60 or so?
They already started I believe I think they at like 130-150 now
