Nice , i remember seeing the first E3 trailer about 3 years ago , i think ( older i get the harder it is to keep track of time ) the one where shit tons of zombies was chasing him through the sawmill ( i think that's what you yanks call it ) and i was blown away , but over the last year i have cooled down a bit on it. But looking at some of the new game play , am thinking i am definitely getting this now , maybe not Day one , maybe through a quite period over the summer.

The reading I get from the previews is it’s a cross between ghost recon wildlands and state of decay ....but it does not do any really well.
I think it will be a good game but I don’t think it will really help diversify the ps4 first party output and terms like walking simulator will probably be used by console warriors.
The only thing I’m hoping is the gunplay is as tight and it’s not too reliant on the survival bits as they look pretty shit imo

I mean, It is a possibility. It just never gets portrayed because developers can ignore all the negative press about it. I can only imagine the banter "oh my god, I don't know if I can do this!". Dante's Inferno had unbaptised babies. I'm still on the fence about Days Gone. A part of me feels like its a must own first party game, but then I see it being a good game to get when the price goes down.

I hope this becomes a controversy. This game needs a little bit more national conversation. The kid zombies are not even human. But if someone wants to get mad about that, let them. Please hype up this fake controversy.

My impressions from what I’ve read are a little more positive than yours, but I feel you.

Yeah it is just idiotic nowadays.
I'm from Finland, we still are like +90% white, back in the days when we were inwar with russia(almost 100y ago) we were probably 100% white.
And then some retards cried how there should be other than whites in movie about these wars + also women soldiers.
Same as asking to have jackie chan in african movie telling about times before europeans conquered their areas.

Man this game felt for a moment like it was barely getting any marketing, I really didnt find it that interesting but I must say in these last 2-3 months, as they are revealing these small snippets of story, Im really looking forward to it. *please be good*

I'd be hesitant to read any personal opinion/click bait article on Days Gone. Its like putting the game in the meat grinder when there really isn't any proof to do so. IMO they could have had you create your character in this game and still make it an awesome experience. I'm at the point where I could just disregard his personality altogether and just focus on the game play.
I pre-ordered the regular edition. For $10 more:
A skill to fix your bike, right? I can unlock that and save a couple bucks. I am looking forward to it. I haven't seen much from the dev videos, but the gameplay is looking fun. I was on the fence until I read some user reactions from the previews. The use of the motorcycle sounds good. Resident Evil 2 had Claire on a Harley. It was a big endorsement for Harley Davidson, but I didn't feel like that brand really showed itself off.

It looks just a little bit better every time they show something. I'm expecting high 70s/mid-80s on the MC... mini-hit 4-7m units. Looks like the developers made the game they wanted to make, and if not some people's cup of tea that is okay. Its pretty clear cut what this or isn't - if someone likes Red Dead Redemption open world with a motorcycle and zombies, with survival strategies and the ability to make zombies fight your human enemies, this title is for you.

I'm assuming no, as the danger/strategy is to keep your bike up and running.

Did anybody else look at this video and think, "this is what PS5 RPG games will look like in 2020"?

Will this game have a season pass / story dlc?

Didn't get this feeling from most of the positive previews "cross between ghost recon wildlands and state of decay ....but it does not do any really well" from what I gather it does several things well including combat and crafting. Also the world seems lush and inviting.
My meta guesstimate will be around an 82-86 and tht is more than enough to make me purchase it day one. I don't get put off to a game unless it's low 70s and even then I give it the benefit of the doubt and buy it later on. The Order was a game that got thrashed due to its restrictive nature and I still bought it and enjoyed it minus the repetitive, cheesy boss fights.

ad should have ended with him holding the gun up to his head....
(in game, he would be rescued last minute OR it could have been a game over cinematic screen and he kills himself if Deacon gets overwhelmed in a segment.)
hire me Bend (or ad agency)

I will not comment on "the best games" as that is highly subjective - while I've liked Sony's output this gen quite a bit, it's inherently subjective, different strokes and all that.
But yes, I do appreciate publishers having confidence in their output. Having the review embargo lifted well beforehand is assuring. Personally, I'm still wary of this game; but who knows, the reviews may get me to buy this at launch.

Truth, I feel like I've been waiting forever for this one.

How do you guys know that reviewers will be getting the game early?

Actually, checking OpenCritic, I don't - that has just been pretty consistent with Sony first party titles as of late, and especially since Days Gone has been postponed many times (and has "gone gold" some time ago), I think it's a reasonable assumption.

It used to state on my pre-order that there will be 2 or 3 DLC included but it vanished. :-(

Yeah, but that's just getting in game items early iirc.
If it turns out there's no dlc planned I might pick up the game early as I really want to play it.
21 Things You Didn't Know. Some new game footage, at least to me. Keeps looking better and better.
Looks to me some of the melee has been upgraded, limbs get severed. Bike parts look fun as hell as well, ramps, interesting obstacles and bike chases. Zombies vs. Animal vs. Humans, etc.

I'll wait for some reviews but I'll probably pick this one unless the reviews sour, I'm having a hard time seeing any noticeable issues. Probably found my Gears of War replacement.

2 1/2 weeks until my most anticipated game since E3 2016 in Days Gone releases. I'm so hyped and can't wait.

WOW! 1,000 likes to just 9 dislikes. This game is starting to look like the people's champion.
I'm going to try to play one or two PSVR games between this and me beating RDR2 this month. NO WAY I'm playing both of these games back to back.

By generic do you mean like nothing else out there? Cause seriously there is nothing else out there like this game. Sure you can cite RDR2 but even this has the hordes which will differentiate the games in a large way.

This seems to be shaping up nicely - I wasn't that interested beforehand, but now this is in "strong maybe" territory.
While the decision to postpone the release for a couple of months may have been a business one (Anthem and Metro Exodus releasing around the same time, among other titles) it obviously has been beneficial. The performance in January was quite rough still.

This game on PS4 Pro looks gorgeous for an open world :
Wow, I wasn't very optimistic about the game till I saw the previews and gifs all over the place, the last few days. Looks like they really put a lot into this, motorbike looks like serious fun.

I'm just going to start ignoring outlets that do this. No more clicks from me. Tired of these people try to be "stand up guys" this way. We have so many other real problems to worry about other than white guys in videogames.

One hell of an easy platinum

As for the game, it looks like a very safe, competent and extremely familiar open world action adventure. It's got the guns, the crafting, the outposts (but in this case they're horde caves n shit), the Focus (slo mo) aiming, the radial menu (and Horizon-like slo mo that accompanies it when you open it), the Horizon tall grass to hide in, the list goes on. Pick a checklist item from any Far Cry or open world game this gen and Days Gone will have it covered in its in own way.
I don't think it'll be bad, but I'm not expecting it to blow minds and get 90+ review scores either. The one thing that looks p bad right out of the gate to me is the gunplay. The guns sound bad. The enemies just fall over dead with not much animation. There's zero response to the horde enemies being shot. That kinda stuff has always been key to me in games like this and to see it lacking, especially in a AAA exclusive kinda sucks and is a bit baffling, especially when this game has been in the oven for what, over five years?

Hey what program or website do you use to credit gifs like that? They are amazing!
