It will sell well.

What do you mean for 1? Have any videos? I'm morbidly interested.
Lol hordes. One zombie in Return of The Living Dead was a threat. These zombies need to posse up to deal with one hobo. "More is more bruh!" Right.
But seriously, it will probably make it's money back, but who knows beyond that. I'm not even sure what people consider a huge seller. is 5 million huge when there are games that have sold 50 million copies and there are hundreds of millions of consoles/PCs out there? Or is it relative to budget, genre, hype level, etc.?

DAYS GONE will be an easy 10M+ life time seller. 85+ rating on Open Critic. Will be #1 for April NPD despite it only being a week or so if I remember correctly.
By far my most anticipated game and has been since E3 2016. Days Gone will be the best open world zombie game of all fucking time (well, until the sequel) because unlike the State of Decay 2's, DayZ's, Overkill's TWD, Dead Rising and what ever others are out there, Days Gone will actually have an amazing story, narrative and characters to go along with it's great gameplay, combat and visuals. Combining the zombie horde infested world with a Sons of Anarchy type protagonist and group is going to be so damn good. Can't wait!!!

This forum acts so strangely around some companies. I'm not "respecting" a piece of media due to its commercial success? Oh wow, it sold SO much more than those other 3 games? And all it had was unlimited money and one of the world's biggest publishers, creating one of the safest new IPs in years.
If commercial success was all this forum cared about, then why does it constantly bash Fortnite, Ninja, COD, FIFA and various companies' microtransactions?
Not my cup of tea, never liked Zombie and sport games, not even fifa or The Last of Us but hey i hope they do well, i really love Bend's work on the psp, it was fantastic. Besides these guys are my only option to develop a very good console Resistance game in case Insomniac dont want to revisit the franchise.
User Banned (1 Day): Inflammatory accusation, history of hostility.
Were you paid by Sony or something op? It sure reads like it.
We need to talk about the fact that Days Gone's main baddies are people who carve "RIP" into their foreheads and then try to do that to other people.
How did this get past the marketing execs and artists.
Who decided "yes, this won't cause infinite eyerolls and isn't Shadow the Hedgehog edgy"
Who made these decisions.

I'm all for hoping it ends up being great. I won't say no to an amazing new IP. But I hope the side content is worth it. Because open world titles for me live and die on customization (outfits, armor, gear, weapons, i guess the bike in this case), exploration and side content quality. If the side content isn't run of the mill repeating generic missions but actually those with writing ala Witcher then awesome. I have not heard if there is any customization on the main character or gear you can upgrade so I'm hoping there is. As for exploration, I hope they put effort into making me care to explore.
My point was that it'll perform and be received more like The Order then something like Horizon Zero Dawn
He's not talking about Days Gone being a GOTY contender or making a 90+ Meta, the thread's premise is about it being Sony's next big franchise
Don't see why bringing up viewer count means that OP is astroturfing or whatever, I'd actually want those numbers since they help indicate consumer interest
yeah,not even close, also rdr2's gameplay is so bad in ways words cant describe
i believe it will get good review
people probably bit sceptical due to the similiarity gameplay wit tlou+open world+zombi (which is something become common)/
but seeing Sony first party studio track record pretty good until now
and i already convinced it will had great gameplay
only the question if the storyline will be decent or better

Days Gone got two major E3 showcases. It's skipped E3 2018, but prior to that it's got a major GI blowout and based off the content that we saw in the GI-demos, there's nothing there that'd make for an interesting 3rd E3 showing. Also, as far as global trade event goes, Days Gone always gets a lot of playable kiosk and stations.
Even at Days Gone's lowest, it's never been treated like 'just another' game, because Sony's definition of 'just another' game in their portfolio is to literally just put out its announcement trailer on a random day one month before E3 with zero fanfare.

Which is why I'm confused about some of the posts lol made it clear what I was talking about now how you "feel" about a game
can i understand why does making a thread telling people that a game looks interesting instantly means he is working in PR? i know the OP and he is definitely not a sony PR person. are we now going to call every OP for hype thread for a new game a PR person?
I mean, they are. 8 is now the average score for a decent-good game. 70s meta is now generally kept for thoroughly mediocre games, and outright glitched messes go lower.
This isn't me following some odd scale. It's simply how game reviewers rate games nowadays. We can stop pretending 50s are still 'average' considering nothing short of trash goes that low.
It's going to be certainly more bigger than most would think. Its the first Sony exclusive that I've seen appear on my Facebook feed (that's not promoted) that has millions of views. There was a post not long ago about wanting to play this game and on the comments section were folks stating it was Playstation exclusive. The overall sentiment about it was positive.
The video had 34 million views in Facebook months ago.

I sure hope so cause I got some ppl to call out than hell they in here now
your op is a bunch of "i think this game is cool and here's a bunch of ramblings to say why"
the only hard evidence you have is the 10M views it got for the first gameplay demo, but you neglect to mention how the second demo at E3 2017 had a massive drop to the 2M view range.
while i do think there is the potential for this game to break out--far cry 5 certainly did, despite the middling reception in most "hardcore" gaming circles--treating it as a fact or as a certainty strikes me as a bit overzealous, and complaining that other people on era don't hold that opinion is making me give your post huge side-eye.
zombies as a video game genre has been played out pretty hard over last gen and the beginning of this gen, to the point where people are sorta just tired of the concept. however, it's been a few years since the concept was seeing dozens of games a year devoted to it, so maybe we've reached the other side of the valley where people are okay with zombie stuff again, hard to say.

lol no. RDR2's open world is just passable like an Ass Creed game.
Another Days Gone thread bringing them low quality drivebys yikesyikesyikes!1!
Game's probably gonna do well. If I learned nothing else from Horizon's release, it's that the loudest blowhards in this community tend to be wrong pretty much every time when it comes to anything related to Sony first party games.

we were already told by insiders on the forum the game was actually ahead of schedule. most of these delays were because of the launch period being stacked.
2 things after skimming through the GI video
Nighttime is way too bright. How can "survival" games still get this wrong. Look at dragon's dogma or even to a lesser extent Dying Light. Use that.
No difficulty settings to make sure the game is hard will just mean the game is piss easy especially after the first few hours.

Then again they were on point with The Order so who knows
crackdown titles have many issues, but traversal and combat arent necessarily the issues. The issues lie with the game taking this long to come out and the final product still looking like it does.
days gone looks a lot more fun than CD3 IMO, CrackDown 3 looks like a janky mess and i really dislike the direction the multiplayer (where the basic pitch sounded amazing, and instead turned bad because of auto aim).
and they were absolutely wrong about Horizon, spiderman and every other upcoming PS4 game since 2016 so who knows.
I don't know. I agree with you, but I still feel like it's meandering between the two. It doesn't feel like they're going to push it like they did, say, Horizon to me. But that's just my opinion.

This the place that predictions lead to believing destiny 1&2 would bomb, horizon would flop and gg never made a good game, every single Ubisoft title this gen would bomb, yea no...never take this community seriously for this stuff
Have you seen the shooting mechanics and gameplay of Days Gone? You can easily say it's a janky mess too
I'm still so disappointed that this is what Bend is putting out after years and years of silence. I was expecting an actual horror game, I got meandering open worlds. I would've been happy with a new Syphon Filter, I got generic beard guys and zombies. Literally nothing about the gameplay looks appealing or fun, it just looks like a complete and utter waste of time and energy.
I expected so much more out of Bend than behind-the-curve trend chasing. "Dead Rising, minus the fun parts" is just not a good look.

I think it looks fairly bland, and really don't see why they felt the need for another first-party zombie franchise.
I wish they'd gone with Syphon Filter instead tbh. The PSP games were fantastic, and the idea of what they could have done for that franchise with a AAA budget is tantalising. And considering that Metal Gear is dead and Splinter Cell is MIA...this would have been the perfect timing to drop a first-party spy stealth game.
