New Days Gone Screenshots

I currently put anyone who opens a post with the word "Yikes"on my ignore list,I've decided I'm now adding everyone who uses the world "generic" to describe something without any further explanation,lol.I'm sick of it!
"Based on my experience" - is that not what I've said too? I've certainly not responded to every post in every thread.
You say it like it's fact though, and pointlessly compare it to RDR2. I can't help but wonder why your bar is so high that a game needs over a thousand people to work on it before it can be impressive. In reality, the graphics of Days Gone are tremendous. Its world is beautifully detailed and realised. Environments are diverse. Animations are great... but okay.
well said.
and from someone complaining the whole thread about posts that add nothing to the discussion.
What can i say im a big Toby fan.
No i would not, im in a Days Gone thread after all.
It's generic being sick about generic posts from generic users who call that game generic.
Does anyone expect more Days Gone footage in the near future? Or only the launch trailer?
Big Days Gone fan mazi is finally here in the DG thread. All is good now.
I am expecting a couple more along with a story trailer and a launch trailer.
Right, a story trailer maybe. Welp, hope they don't spoil too much. We have already seen a lot of footage lately.
they need to show a cool mission or two imo. The one they showed a few e3's ago was rad! The one where the player lures the zombie hoard into an enemy camp by blowing up a dam
I'm hoping it has an impactful opening like The Last of Us.
The game is going to be a smash hit, and people are going to have to deal with that, lol.
The world looks beautiful.That shot is also very nice imo :)
Shall we compare and tally up their comments in this thread vs. that poster they were responding to and see who added more to the discussion? It's weird how you're focusing in on a "LOL" comment which wasn't exactly their debut in this thread but a response to someone else's ridiculous follow up post. Dismissing a poster that continues to add nothing to the thread actually adds a lot to the thread.
I can't wait to discover these dynamic events myself to be honest. Other than one final story trailer, I've seen enough to cover me until release.
Hmmm, I don't know. I'd say it's more cliche than generic ;)
So on February 13th, who wants to be the sacrificial lamb that can let us know if it's spoilery or not? Lol
if you read his other posts itt, you'll notice that all he's doing is calling anything he disagrees with a shit post or a hot take, and constantly trying to backseat mod and say how "frustrating" or "maddening" it is that people get to have opinions that he doesn't agree with and then have the balls to post them on a discussion forum.
anyway, i can see where this is going so i'll just go back to reading and not posting, have fun.
Pretty sure Courtnee Draper (aka Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite) is Sarah in Days Gone, if it hasn't been mentioned already.
I will predict no matter how well they handle this, there are going to be complaints about fridging. Unfortunate but it does seem to be a common occurrence in Sony titles, from The Last of Us to God of War.
SOme of the lighting in this looks absolutely spectacular.
Are they just using stock UE4.x or did they inject some custom GI like Enlighten or something.
If UE4.x is at this level with its lighting now, im more sold on this tech than I was 13 months ago.

Welp, too bad for you. Don't know what you have watched, but it looks incredible. Especially coming from a smaller-ish studio, compared to Sony's big ones.
It really does look amazing. It's a modified U4 engine :)
No comment :P
But I can watch the trailer and let you know if there are spoilers or not.
Supposedly they were using a heavily modified UE4 engine for the game. I can see that too with all the small "things" the engine shares with other Sony Studio games.
At first, I thought it was using Naughty Dogs tech so it is really cool what they pulled off with it.
Source? I haven't heard this at all but I hope so since she was great there!
Not just Sony titles, but games - and other media - in general. It's a worn out cliche that has been beat to death and hasn't had any spin worth talking about in a while.
I agree. This game keeps looking better and better and better, and I am looking forward to it. Have been since day one tbh.
I would be the first person to say this if it was true. Sony Bend holds their own against other first party studios.
Same here. Seeing the horde and a biker as the main character was all I needed ;) Love it.
John Wick takes it to knowingly absurd levels by having the dog reflect the memory of his wife. The underworld being slack-jawed at Wick coming after them because of a dog (aka the last meaningful memento of his wife) was a fun self-aware spin IMO
Unless we are looking at a different definition, GoW does not feature a fridging trope. TLoU is a strange case in that Sarah's death has an impact on the character, but not really the larger world or plot being pushed forward.
Pretty much the same here. There are few games I'm looking forward to or excited about anymore, but this is one.
OP

Its looks really amazing considering the game is open world and has a ton of enemies on screen.

One of the directors is on the technical advisory panel for the Unreal Engine, so I'd imagine they have a pretty deep knowledge of the system to get the maximum out of it.
Easy. Have the apocalypse caused by something other than a generic zombie outbreak. There are tons of other options for this that are more interesting from the somewhat realistic, such as climate change, energy conflict, nuclear war, global pandemic to fantasy/science fiction such as solar flares destroying all technology, alien invasion, extradimension rifts, lovecraftian creatures awakening, and so on. The most interesting drama in post apocalyptic( including zombie) scenarios is always the inter-personal conflict but if you must have non-human enemies most of the scenarios I threw out could easily accommodate them.
If you absolutely MUST have zombies and not some alternative there are still ways you could make the premise actually interesting like having the story take place centuries after the initial outbreak which would provide opportunities for having interesting, fleshed out post-collapse societies like Horizon Zero Dawn did.
Besides the premise there is also a lot they could have done to make the visual style at least look remotely interesting. The options here are too numerous to list but think of literally any game that doesn't just try to look photo-realistic and you have something more interesting than Days Gone.
This is just me spending less than 5 minutes throwing out random ideas. Someone who actually put in some time and effort could probably come up with dozens more that are far more interesting and less generic than what Days Gone is doing. I'm honestly struggling to think of anything on the horizon that isn't just another AAA franchise entry like Battlefield, FIFA or Call of Duty that looks less interesting than Days Gone.
They are already doing something that has never been done in gaming.
Zombies in this game are living beings, they sleep, create nests, cannibalize each other, need to drink and more. They have different classes that are stronger than each other which means the zombies "respect" the bigger classes. They are very similar to animals in that regard.
Give me another game that has something like this. I will wait.
What does this mean? Not every game NEEDS to do anything special, very few games actually do anything new.
