I tried out the remaster and 5 hours had passed before I even knew it.
Forgot how much I like this game and the new lighting makes the dark actually dark, so it feels more like a horror game instead of just action.
I wasn't planning on playing it again with so many other amazing titles out right now but I feel myself being pulled into the world of Days Gone again.
Really wish we could have gotten a sequel.
Game: Days Gone Remastered
23 Comments
i saw the Broken Road DLC and have had days gone on my wishlist for a while simply cause of Sam Witwer 😀
I may have to give this a try.
Well they’re at it, if they could include more and diverse motorcycle upgrades I would be super down with that. I always felt like the bike upgrades plateaued too fast
it’ll be coming – the amount of times they release a remaster before anouncing a sequel is mounting up!
It’s not a remaster though.
Days Gone is a prime example of “you only get one chance to make a first impression.” When it came out it had a lot of technical issues that really screwed with the immersion factor, which is probably the best thing the game has going for it (it’s a very important element of what makes the hordes, the game’s big selling point, good.) By the time things were better the zeitgeist had moved on, and so a lot of people encountered the game as a “hidden gem” and didn’t understand why it had a bad reputation at launch.
I think if the game had launched stronger and sold better at first there would probably have been a sequel, but now even though it has a better rep (and has sold more because of additional platforms) I think too much time has passed and the studio has changed too much (plus Sony is making many fewer games these days.)
It’s too bad because while I don’t think Days Gone is a masterpiece or anything, it was at least interesting and did some unique things. No other game has quite matched its vibe or the hordes and it would have been cool to see what the team could have done with a sequel and expanding on some of those concepts.
Very underrated game, loved it.
Don’t know why they won’t release a sequel. An open world zombie game of this quality will always get my money.
not even joking, the remaster lowkey gave it that eerie vibe i didn’t know it needed… sequel when?? 😩
What was it about this game that the community liked?
I played it for a good few hours, and outside of thinking “OK, the game can generate a big size of enemies on screen”, it never felt like something that did anything special or a product that stood out in front of the gaming crowd.
Was the story or world/character building that impressive?
Crazy how they “remaster” it and it still has such muddy textures.
Nah, definition of “Mid AF”
I wasn’t too interested because it looked like just another zombie game, but the gameplay actually looks neat. Might have to grab it sometime.
I enjoyed my time with this game but never finished it. It was a game I felt would have benifitted from a more is less approach.
I mostly enjoyed the bike aspect and fighting hordes.
Gameplay was enjoyable. Wasn’t overly long.
I absolutely cannot play this a second time. I just sold my motorcycle that I bought after playing it the first time. It made me miss having one THAT much, that I ignored the family’s pleas to not buy one. 😅
I usually hate zombie games, it got to the point of feeling like a tired trope to me, but this game, I absolutely loved.
Fun fact for any metalheads in here: Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation voiced some of the freakers in this game.
Best sky boxes of any game.
Rather than a sequel, I’d rather have the outbreak spreading to a different setting, probably Australia but could be South Africa, obviously with entirely new protagonists.
Man I wanted so bad to like this game, but it just didn’t click for me :/
Is it better than originally?
Oh shit I didn’t realise it was out
This was probably the only zombie game where we never saw anybody turn into a zombie. I wish they explored that more
Game is the literal definition of mid.
Not bad not good.
Mid.
