New Days Gone Screenshots

Huh. I can't remember this video. I remember the gameplay videos from that E3. Maybe I saw this and just assumed it was "exposition".
Yea even the sky is generic, what is this shit ;)
Serious, i like the atmosphere in this Game. Looking forward to playing it.
Oh boy can't wait for yet another extremely generic "photorealistic" looking zombie game. Not like was already done to death more than half a decade ago.
Whoah that looks absolutely amazing!That shot is also very nice imo :)
Roughly in the last 5 years I can think of, in no particular order, the following games that aimed for a more realistic visual style and featured enemies that broadly fall into the zombie/infected camp.
- Dying Light
- Last of Us
- Resident Evil 2 remake
- State of decay
What others have I missed? Probably some. And is your issue more that the graphics in Days Gone aspire towards realism or the fact that the enemies resemble zombies, even though it's been stated multiple times that they're not really?
Also, as ever, no one throwing 'GENERIC!' around in a Days Gone thread can ever satisfactorily articulate ways this apparent genericism could be improved.
Just popping in to say that I dig the fact that she's got both arms done up with sleeves. Super dope.
I fail to see how that's any worse than loving and vigorously defending a game before it comes out.
Starting to think it must be some kind of dare or drinking game they have going on. Because they hardly ever return after saying it.
They should just make every character in the game Beetlejuice, the actor.
Exactly, I've never understood this. "There's so many zombie games!" There's been...five is you include metal gear survive (lol) all gen. Also someone explain generic to me. We have many protags in games that are bikers with tattoos? If you want to call him cliche, okay I can understand that. But generic? Also, I'm not huge on zombie lore, but if they're not dead does it not mean that freakers aren't actually zombies. I thought zombies were literally walking dead. I kind of feel like a person huge into zombie films would basically scream at the top of their lungs that you can't consider a freaker a zombie
Why don't you move on from this thread? You don't seem to have anything productive to say and even your explanation of your original shit post is another shit post, which makes absolute no sense.
It's your prerogative to work out why it's worth getting excited for. I would suggest reading the OP of the "Everything you need to know about Days Gone" thread. There's almost certainly everything you need to know about why someone might be hyped for this game. The ones who say they don't like what they see when it comes to this game are either proving that they are ignorant or they have an ulterior motive.
I think using the word generic to describe the game in these threads deserves a ban because at this point it's trolling.
That's only because that demo had near unlimited ammo and god mode. It was never going to be a game where you can mow down hordes like L4D
Are we thinking a romantic-themed Valentine's Day story trailer on the 13th February, then? Seems like that's what they're building towards!
I feel like if I got a penny every time someone said "generic" in Days Gone threads, I'd probably have enough to pay off my student loans at this point.
You don't remember the reactions to Naughty dog making last of Us, do you? It was a shit show. Also, the last "generic boring" game was ghost recon Wildlands and it got good reviews, was fun to play and sold well. What's generic to one person is "oh shit! Another *insert media genre*! I'm in!" To quite frankly most people
Yeah, I'm 50 and have seen pretty much played/seen/read/ listened to everything zombie there is and I can tell you that the 'zombie party' never ends. It's like saying there's no new stories but the 7 tropes when we get incredible writing every single year around those.
And nobody who likes zombies gets bored of zombies.
Sony seems to like using public holidays to tie into game marketing. They did it with God of War for Father's Day.
What is "generic" about it?
I swear this lazy "generic" rhetoric is on the cusp of becoming a meme.
There's probably a film thread somewhere where the same people that keep saying generic in these threads arguing Weekend at Bernies is just a generic zombie film because he's a white male with brown hair!
Shaun of the dead is also just generic because it's basic zombies and people trying to survive probably. The people that scream generic are usually the people themselves who ironically have no imagination. It's the lack of imagination that makes someone look at something based on screen shots and short vids and immediately think "well that's generic" rather than seeing potential in something
Generic is one of the most annoying words these days. I would accept it if somebody would tell us why a thing is generic but nobody does. The worst part is asking them to explain and they never return to the thread.
Seriously guys if you do not have any interest in the game then don't post. The mods themselves said in the past thread to not post if you have nothing to say.

So we are only alowed to post positive things i see. Thank you for your valuable input.
I wish SciFi had the long term appeal of zombies lol. Quick! Someone put zombies in SciFi!
I am aware their is a quite popular SciFi with "zombie" type creatures in it
What kind of shitposts are these? I'm talking from personal experience, you're talking as if I said what you just acted like I said.
Find Days Gone threads where people who are hyped for it have never acknowledged and accepted anything negative. You'll never find what you're looking for.
Suddenly I want a deadspace tv series...may need to pop over to etcetra
People conflate generic with cliche and nothing is wrong with cliche. The best things in media are usually ridden with cliches , but they are well written, performed and executed. Furthermore, anything new that is genuinely creative and good will itself become a cliche...because it's genuinely good. The Sopranos is packed with old cliches and created it's own. The likeable yet genuinely bad person, the bad marriage etc
And what exactly did you add to the thread?
The mods said this in the last thread:
If you can't add anything to the discussion and keep throwing around meaningless words like "generic" and not bothering to explain then don't post.
You are the one being agressive. Please behave yourself with that atitude, again, no one was disrepectfull until you appeared out of nowhere without adding any value to a dead discussion.
Edit: also Im out of this thread. Sorry if i ofended anyone.
Agreed.
This game definitely has cliche things or things we saw before but what matters is the execution. As far as generic goes, the game is nowehere near that because we have never seen a game of this scale before. Last game I remember that tried to do something similar was Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare which came out in 2010.
If you feel like my tone is "aggressive" then that's on you. You can't tell me to "behave" when I'm the one trying to call out the posts that contribute nothing. You made a strange comment, and people responded to it including myself, you followed it up with some real banal arguments. Personally, when I come into these threads, I probably have already discussed the subject material itself in other threads so it's not hard to very quickly come across shit-posts and drive-by trolling and pick up on it. You happen to have been one of the first comments I saw that made me question why you're even in the thread in the first place with a comment like that.
Thank you.
After the hubbabaloo i went and checked out some real gameplay, and while it is pretty clearly Sony Studios version of State of Decay, it looks very much like the Development Team are pumping the genre up with the gore, top notch production values, motorcycle roaming, and gun play. After watching that stuff i'm looking forward to it, and as long as the reviews dont' bomb, i'll take a gander. Looks fun.
I mean, this is what you wrote:
I already gave an explanation of why I'm lukewarm on this game, so according to you I'm stupid or am actively trying to do something to undermine its success.
Never commented on a days gone thread before so i was not aware that either defenders of the game like you or trolls were ruining the threads, if it happened thats fault on both sides. I still dont know why offends someone by saying the graphics are nothing to be amazed at. Do i need to write a paper after saying that? But ok, you are the troll Police department. Good for you. Definitly out.
