Thoroughly uninspired. So sick of fucking zombie games.

 

[ubersticky]

So... you have unlimited ammo and the zombies don't actually damage you. Got it.

 

[Carl]

Looks boring.

 

[GavinGT]

Because it was fucking amazing

It was literally just a guy shooting streams of zombies running through narrow spaces.

 

[Kaversmed]

That. Was. Fucking. Amazing.

 

[StrangeTaco]

What a weird game to end the conference with, had absolutely 0 interest in it and that just solidified it.

 

[komplanen]

I'm not at all interested in the biker culture but everything else looked real neat.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

This and that generic story trailer aren't making this look hot.

 

[Geist-]

Loved it. For a guy who's pretty sick of zombies, this was very good.

 

[Skux]

So shooting the zombies actually slows down the mob by making them pile up against each other?

 

[joanot]

So much wasted potential is a shame

Spoiler

and i love zombies

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

So shooting the zombies actually slows down the mob by making them pile up against each other?

It seemed like it was supposed to, but they didn't trip over each other or get caught.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Lack of good hit reactions completely kills this for me. What's the point of having gunplay if it's going to be that bad? The hordes do look good, but that doesn't mean they can get away with screwing up the fundamentals.

 

[ZeroX03]

From the studio that made a bad Uncharted game, comes a TLoU rip off that doesn't understand why TLoU worked. Pass.

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

I'm usually not one for anything with zombies, but those HUGE hoards piqued my interest in this game. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

That was not how to end a conference. Looked pretty boring.

 

[Plinko]

Thoroughly uninspired. So sick of fucking zombie games.

Absolutely 100% agree.

 

[Pooya]

He had so many bullets..... giantbomb crew summed it up well, uninspired dead rising without any hook.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

A mess, a ki, a cackle.

There are better options in the market, like, every month.

 

[I speel my dreenk]

It looks good, but I can't understand how it isn't just "Days Gone: A Last Of Us tale" or something - just bizarre to have something so similar.

 

[FlyingIrishMan]

Only zombie game I've ever seen that managed to make an extremely huge amount of actually threatening zombies. Every other one always promises "hordes" but never delivers.

 

[ComputerBlue]

That was not how to end a conference. Looked pretty boring.

How would you end the conference then?

Because it look awesome to me.

People got different tastes.

 

[JimmyRustler]

Would have been super excited before Last of Us but this just looks way to similar. Again a post apocalyptic game with Zombies? Seems so weird that Sony greenlit this after Last of Us.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

The hoard sizes look cool, but this looked totally derivative. Pretty big disappointment for me. I was hoping for something more original both aesthetically and mechanically than what we saw from Bend's long awaited new IP.

 

[jond76]

Great time to be a zombie fan. Glad I'm one.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I was expecting Days Gone: The Last of Us right at the end.

 

[Servbot24]

Really wished this would have been about biker gangs and stuff. Zombies are boooooriiiiing.

 

[aussiedude08]

highlight of the show for me, like Horrizon last year.

 

[Sonson21]

Looked pretty amazing to me.

 

[Chopper]

The Running Dead amirite?

Ahem.

Game looks cool.

 

[Azalean]

Definitely interested in this game. Will be on the lookout for it.

 

[gruenel]

It was literally just a guy shooting streams of zombies running through narrow spaces.

Exactly

 

[the_batman]

One million zombies!

 

[Fardeen]

basically a world war z game

 

[SoulClap]

I thought this was a new game from Sucker Punch. Glad I was wrong, looks pretty meh.

 

[Belfour20]

Looked more like a tech demo than a game. The horde of zombies were pretty cool and impressive, however nothing of the gameplay looked inspiring or fun. Hopefully there's much more to it than what they showed.

 

[Kayant]

Zombie or similar games have never excited me and this didn't change it. Also made the ending of the conference bad for a very well paced event this time around from Sony.

 

[sappyday]

Looks good but the story is going to have to be really good cause as of now it just feels like TLOU copycat

 

[wildbite]

This game looked beautiful. It's open world, right?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Meh

 

[Disgraced]

I liked the name "Dead Dont Ride" better :/

Looks fantastic though!

Agreed, it's so much more evocative of the biker motif. "Days Gone" sounds like a melodramatic indie movie.

 

[Cyrus]

Probably the most generic game at E3 this year.

 

[Metroidvania]

The one interesting thing I saw was that it appeared that the environment could be more directly impacted upon, such as when he was shooting a wood bridge and it appeared to break, which would have stopped the horde from following (as much).

But aside from that, it looked really derivative.

 

[M2C3]

Looks dope. Love that it's set in the PNW and he's rockin a mullet.

 

[BlackGhost]

GIVE THIS TO ME!

 

[DarkConfidant]

Another wilderness/TLOU type game lol.

And I saw Elena from Uncharted.

This.

I kept wanting the trailer to end with “The Last of Us: Days Gone”. It worked with Final Fantasy Versus XIII, when I yelled “just call it 15” a few years ago. Not this time, though.

I thought we were done with the Zombie fad, and moving onto Space Exploration.


Also, it seemed like it would have gone better for the player to have not shot any zombies, but instead have kept running.
Hopefully that was just a demo, and not an exact in game scenario.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

It's crazy how much it looked like TLoU. Everything from the camera, character movements, music, hud and action prompts looked identical. I really wonder what the reasoning for that is?
I mean it has to be intentional, right?

I love the theme but I found the endless stream of zombies irritating. In an urban setting I'd get it, but thousands of zombies at some broke down logging camp/mill in the middle of buttfuck nowhere takes me out of it. At least make the zombie population somewhat believable for the setting... Then again I don't like L4D or Dead Rising type games.

 

[matrixman92]

I'm a huge fan of zombie games still, and even I think that looked....not good

 

[7DollarHagane]

Lot of negativity around this one but I feel like we don't know enough.

If there isn't much more to know I think we have this year's the order flop.

 

[Hollycat]

The Least of Us?

Zombies and saggy butt and dumb footage oh my
