Days Gone - Unique Real Time Snowfall/Weather

[808s & Villainy]

It would be cool if a game can poll your local weather conditions and depict them in game real time

Games were doing that back on the Wii

 

[Richter1887]

This was one of the coolest features I was looking for when they first revealed it. Can't wait for the game to see it while playing.

 

[ArmGunar]

Bend seems to have polished the game, can't wait

 

[ActWan]

Very impressive.

 

[Black Chamber]

Very cool - I absolutely adore realistic weather effects in video games. Hopefully the rain is given the same amount of realistic treatment.

 

[Cyberclops]

Detroit runs on a custom engine built specifically for it.

I stand corrected. There's less big budget AAA UE4 games than I thought. Gears 5 should look pretty good though.

 

[mindatlarge]

Was totally expecting a horde of zombies to pop out of nowhere as the weather system was being shown off lol.

This looks great though, I love well implemented weather in games. Gonna have to get used to not being able to whistle for my horse when exploring the environmonets after sinking so much time into RDR2.

 

[TransEuropaExpress]

Yeah, that looks cool as fuck. Not into the game itself but it does look awesome visually in many aspects, I'll gladly hand them that.

 

[kostacurtas]

I don't see anything impressive here.

It is just generic snow.

/s

 

[TheBeardedOne]

The weather looks pretty great.

 

[Soj]

That looks awesome. I love stuff like this.

 

[DC5remy]

Super cool.

 

[Richter1887]

Will be interesting to see what Days Gone 2 will do on PS5. This is truly amazing stuff.

 

[etta]

Wow, incredible.
As next gen is coming soon with more resources available, I can't wait to see all kinds of new features being implemented.

 

[jj70]

Maybe I'm exagerating, here, but... no snow on the motorcycle anyway... I do not think it's hotter to melt the snow falling - so I was expecting to see some snowflakes on it, too... Anyway, cool - how much time pass in in-game time for this 6 min vid?

 

[Soj]

Wow, incredible.

Maybe Ubisoft can put weather effects back in Far Cry games.

 

[Zacmortar]

Id be super interested if it was just cosmetic and there was a way to make it on permanently, i fucking love snow

 

[Zacmortar]

Isn't Detroit: Become Human UE4?

Click to shrink...

Detroit Become Human is also 90% cutscenes and 10% incredibly restricted hallways.

here you can see some rain and fog at night

 

[TheZynster]

oh wow, the way the snow falls on screen is gorgeous, love the way the weather effects look in this game.

 

[Richter1887]

Yeah I missed the dynamic weather in Far Cry. Would be cool if they learn from Days Gone and bring it back in a cool way. Different gameplay experiences depending on the weather and all that.

 

[Edward]

Have they talked about how long the cycles are? Would be great if it was random and snow storms could last up to like 2 weeks in-game.

[Mahonay]

 

[Neuromancer]

Damn that's impressive. People are sleeping on this game and I don't know why. I think it's going to be special.

 

[Tyaren]

Like Red Dead Redemption 2 the LOD is very impressive. You can still see trees and bushes far off in the distance without much of a noticable quality difference. Open world games seem to finally nail that.

 

[butman]

I'd like to see this go even further next gen. Been wondering when we'd see weather effecting the area like this beyond puddles. Nice.

[Electro]

Generic white snow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Spoiler

Looks great !

 

[StrykerIsland]

This is cool as hell. Probably one of the best effects I've seen this gen.

[benzy]

Looks awesome.

 

[jpbonadio]

Tha's absolutely incredible. Even more considering the amount of things that are going on the game, like the hordes with hundreds of freakers. And if all that wasn't impressive enough, the game still is fucking beautiful.

 

[Putty]

Detroit Become Human is also 90% cutscenes and 10% incredibly restricted hallways.

You want rain most of the time in this game? :p

Like Pokemon with the day/night cycle, it's a cool idea that you would likely end up circumventing just so you can experience the variety.

Well it rains most of the time in Oregon so....

 

[B.O.O.M.]

This is some impressive tech

 

[Black Chamber]

Looks pretty good!

Hopefully there's varying degrees of rain because there's just not enough raindrops. I want to see a torrential thunderstorm!!

I predict some interesting threads comparing Days Gone to RDR2

Very good - but not enough rain drops to make it a downpour.

 

[cowbanana]

This game looks so atmospheric, can't wait to play it now.

Yep, but enough to create puddles, mud and fog.

True :)

 

[Riderz1337]

Looks absolutely insane.

 

[Stiler]

This is amazing.

One of the only games I've seen do this aside from Asheron's Call, though it wasn't as detailed since that was like circa 1999 or so.

 

[Deleted member 13101]

Games love making puddles in rain but not snowfall covering, so this is cool. I guess this is something Madden games can kinda get credit for too.

 

[LavaBadger]

Looks like a really neat effect. Definitely more interested in this by the day.
