Days Gone(PS4)-Game Informer Details
- Thread starter nightstalker962
- Start date
Yeah emergent gameplay and fun traveling method, but they haven't been able to show it well enough.
I am much more interested now but I hope they will improve animation of the player, some are good, some not so much. Animation of freakers are very good....
Eh they showed this well enough already.
First Playthough

Dont get how people are still saying this.
With a full month of covergae from Game Informer it wouldn't be that strange if Days Gone skipped the E3-Press Conference this year.
Maybe it's playable or we get a nice Trailer on the showfloor. But it also could show up later during GamesCom or Paris Games Week.
They should do one of those 101 trailer then maybe finally some people will be able to understand it, because it clearly seems a lot of people are having a hard time grasping the concept of this game.
Wow, just about none of those details make the game sound interesting to me, but given that Sony's output has been really solid I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Its not their fault people are not paying attention at this point to be honest not much you can do about that.
Some of you guys are actually thinking Sony is greenlightning and developing games straight up for Resetera.
Their library is huge, of course there will be many people not attracted to every single aaa title.
I am confident this will be successful, maybe even 85 metacritic area.

Yeah alot of animations are good some need work but that is to be expected.
The animations on the enemies are real good
Nope you play as Deacon.
I'd guess you can probably customise his clothes, but you cannot choose your character. It's telling a specific story about a specific person, just like The Witcher 3 or Horizon Zero Dawn. This is very plainly obvious from the trailers.
That sucks bcoz dude doesn't look that interesting. Looks like wannabe Joel lol
Have to be honest that absolutely nothing about this stands out for me so far. It looks kind of boring and run of the mill at the moment.
I hope that it can be fun but I'm not hopeful at the moment

I'm also a bit on the "meh" train so far. Main character doesnt do much for me at the moment, and all the gameplay parts that have been shown aren't specifically to my liking. But if it has a solid narrative and it ends up being more than the sum of its parts (a bit that happened with Horizon as well) I'll definitely check it out. I guess I'll wait for reviews and impressions.
Main character looks about as uninteresting as they come.
But I am pretty confident that the game will surprise us for some reason.

Sounds like Far Cry: zombie apocalypse and I'm ok with that. Hope there are some community/base building or upgrading mechanics.
Also really like this part:

Actually, how many good AAA zombie games have been released in the last few years ?
I agree that the infected/zombie theme is tiring, but I can't think of many big games that succeeded in carrying the production values and atmosphere of great zombie comics/TV.

Burn !
Wondering how badly PS4 will melt running those high complexity CPU scenes.
Yeah if they manage to pull this off with all these systems, then hat off to the team.
Someone is bound to point out that when you run out of fuel you have to find fuel to refill your tank, which is in essence, a 'fetch quest'.
DAMN! It was me.
You mean like Breath of the Wild? :)
It's all a matter of implementation.
I am not a fan of Zombie games but Days Gone looks cool enough and the developer is talented. Looking forward to this.
...no. That actually has context, like a pretty meaningful one.
I just hope it's not the same shit like in Mad Max, where it doesn't matter at all. I refilled maybe once and that was prior to the level-ups which made the whole "realism" factor obsolete. "Oh, I magically can drive exponentially longer distances, due to the fact that I increased the attribute points in that one slot during my level-up."
Thanks for sharing this info :)
I didn't know the game had multiple endings and consequential narrative choices.
I hope we get a video/article about the systemic elements in Days Gone this month.
I was joking!
It does however touch upon my single and rather 'unpopular' about turn yesterday after watching and listening to what the dev said about the game. Just for context, I'm worried they're just going to throw enemies at you all the time in order to keep it 'dangerous', the one thing that evidently sets this game apart from other open world games. With that in mind:
Imagine you are biking through a deserted location, night is drawing in and your engine suddenly splutters. You realise you are about to run out of fuel and with no sign of civilisation anywhere, you begin to panic. That panic is reliant upon the location you're in at the time. Dread is a wonderful tool to use in horror, it creates an emotion shock value can't but rather enhances the shock factor when it eventually happens. You don't know if you are in danger right now but you do know danger is out there ... somewhere. This is why I don't want them to go the Far Cry 5 route, a game I sold after nearly beating only one region. The game would be much better served if there was nothing in sight at first, no sounds, maybe just an old, broken down shack up on a distant hill. Just one sound -- that's all it would take in this scenario -- to set your nerves on edge. Your palm would be sweaty, your hear beating. Then out of the night pours a hoard of Freakers ...
Now take the same scenario, having already been knocked off your bike twice, having had to swerve many infected, being able to see one or two of the infected up ahead or to the sides, and that wonderful moment of dread is lost. Instead you'll just feel panicked without an emotional set up and that's the poorer side of horror.
This game seems to have a little bit too many 'modern open-world'-tropes to my taste.
HUD all over the place, waypoint markers, towers to climb, predator/batman/witcher/eagle-vision, etc.
Also the whole shooting vs AI with guns was looking a bit stiff and clunky so far.
The graphics look great, though :)

Man...I thought you meant it. Most of the time I'm shaking my head when somebody fails to detect obvious sarcasm and now I'm doing it myself. :D
And yes, I know exactly what you mean. In general, that dev in the video didn't exactly fill me with confidence regarding the outcome of Days Gone, because it just didn't sound very convincing imo and I actually don't think that the "constantly dangerous" factor is any new for Open World games. To a point Far Cry and Dying Light work in a very similar fashion and especially in the case of Far Cry I'm pretty sick of it. Driving a route, killing all of the enemies on the way, only to redo all of that on the way back is just so incredibly annoying to me. Far Cry 2 is the biggest offender for this tbh...that whole "feature" was an annoyance altogether.
I love Far Cry 3, but since then there was not Ubisoft-type OW that grabbed me, because they just didn't offer anything new to the medium. I'm sure it will be an enjoyable game - hopefully as much as Dying Light -, but I can't really say that I'm hyped for it.
I'm just praying he was caught off guard and felt he had to say something and that was the best he could come up with at the time, although that would be a tad worrying too. One would think he could put his finger on an answer instantly. But, giving him the benefit of doubt, I'd assume the vid was edited by Game Informer to fit the answer in the interview. (fingers crossed). We do see a moment when Deacon hides in a bin so that gives me some 'hope' stealth is a major part and of course, with stealth, could come some of my requirements.
Thanks for the video, while it does have some good gore in melee, when he starts shoting there is barely any hit reactions, nor hit markers/sounds, and thats what feels very unsatisfying to me.
Seems pretty formulaic, I hope there's a big emphasis on surviving with people and the relationship between everyone.
Ubisoft truly is an inspiration for the industry though, impressive how many things we now consider to be formulaic they brought to the table.

Burn !
So instead of 500 zombies running at you, you'll have 500 FLAMING zombies running at you.
I don't know if Deacon thought that one through.
